ALBANY, Jan. ~, 1870.
good deal OF the fuss and feathers surrounding
the Senatorial conflict was removed to-day by the
action OF the Senate In executive Such OF
the nominations came before them were confirmed
very harmonIously las mentioned that they would
be In my despatch last nightl and the Governor
was duly and 0fcialy notified or their confirmation.
DR.. Carnochan, Health Onicer or the Port was the
first on the list. He got vote OF 10 to 13; and
all the Others followed without much opposition.
The names OF Mr.. Miller for Insurance Superinten-
dent, MI Howell for Bank Superintendent and Mr..
McConihie for Commissioner Of Capitol Police, did
not come before the Senate for the obvious reason
that the hostility towards these nominees remains
still impregnabe, and in the case OF Mr.. Miller
1t IL not improbable that his name may
be finally Withdrawn. The opposition to
him comes principally nom Senator q. F.
Norton, VINO is rampant and bitter In the extreme
upon this point, and has led other Senators with
ent He has been regarded as q competent man and
good selection; put there seems 10 be desire That
none but active party men should have been nomi-
mated for these Offices Party services rather than
capacity seems to be regarded as the fit quail
ncation; so that Governor Hoffman, In max
Ing appointments with view TO The public
good and TO the satisfaction OF the people may have
erred grievousy III the opinion OF the politicians
which only SHOWS that o man cannot always serve
two masters-his conscience and his party The
nomination OF Mr.. Conihil Tor Police Commissioner
IS said by some OF the Governors friends TO have
been q mistake; but, be that 1t may 1t IS but q
local office anyhow, and except as matter OF spoil
70 the holder thereof, afecu nobody outside OF Al
bany.
or course there is q good deal OF gossip noatng
about to the secret acton OF the Senate although
in fact, there little secret about IT, Tor part or
the proceedings were known even IN New York be-
TINS surprised some OF the Senators very much One
OF them was disposed to appoint . committee on
neynoles 70 ascertain how many o. these or,hces
not know tnat there were other leaks than keyh0es
through which information can leak out.
OTHER SENATE BUSINESS.
The Senate had little else OF important business be-
fore them TO-DAY. Tney concnrred with the Assem-.
bly, in the resolution demanding from the railroad
companies information IS to the amount received
from drawing room cars and sleeping cars, and by
Of fse It was argued BY Senator Worden
that the companies often put on the f0ad three or
four Of these cars and only one ordinary passenger
price. Any one who has travelled In this State
knows this to be true. On the Western railroads
you can get nearly, II not quite. as good accommo-
daon In the ordinary cars as we pay an extra price
for on our roads.
It IL very likely that the stay ~ home substitute
providers during the war time will NOT receive as
much iayor ut the hands OF me senate as they did
was successful. me higher body look upon the
matter IN q different light.
WORK IN THE ASSEMBLY.
Although the Assembly mad an early adjournment
to- day. In Crder to enable the committees to work
on the numerous bills now before then, there was
lion OF bills.
Mr. Plunkitt introduced bill providing that brew
shall supply their customers with barrel Of ale
or beer that snail hold barrels worth when they
shall get setenty-three gallons or mud instead Of
nfty-two when ne pays for the former amount. Good
for the beer buyers and very likely disastrous to the
ExTESsIoS or LICENSES cuRrAILED.
The Senate thought that the extension Of time tor
the payment OF licenses, as suggested BY Peter
Mitchell 10 the 1st OF May was too long so they sent
the bill to the House amended to read the LIST Of
March. The bill passed IN this shape. About sixty
country bills were passed over the different CON-
mittees to-day, and that embraced about the whole
business OF the House,
AIDING MR.. BERGH's CHARITABLE EFFoRTs.
Mr.. Jacobs has introduced In the Assembly bill
which provides that each car and wagon on all the
railroads III the State carrying 1--we STOCK or any
kind small be provided with waterngnt sroughs
