Judd's Jury Bill Repassed.
ALBANY, April 80, 1872.
The Seventya charter is Ia the tomb or the Capu-
1cts. Few if any, OF the prominent republicans In
mo House who voted for IL In the first place had
any idea that It would ever become a law. They
voted for itsimply because the reformers who came
mp here from New York, in the name of the people,
said the people wanted It, The Governors veto
has given those members Just the opportunity they
deeired and expected TO set themselves right at
bast npon the record. When the veto
had been read through In the Assem-
hly, Mr.. Avord rose and stated that
be rose under embarrassment; but he felt resting
upon him great responsibility. He thought mem
hers could not leave this House without doing
something for New York as regards a charter, II
this veto was sustained He had anticipated from
the Governor the salient points Of this message. He
had anticipated them because he believed them
saied for. lie was opposed to the proposed confu-
s,on Of power as provided in the bin. AS to
PRINCIPLE or CUMULATIVE VOTING
he was satshed-fully satisfed-that II was uncon-
rtitutonal He said II this bin was passed there
wouId intermnable litigation grow out OF it. We
take the responsibility OF passing this act but
would 1t be right and Just? He was In
favor OF giving good government TO
the city Of New York; but even If we do the
citizens themselves must do their part in carry
Ing it out and sustaining it. When the roll Of
members should be called he would have no fear or
standing IN proper position when he voted to sus
tain the veto of the Governor.
Mr.. Hustled said when this bin passed ana he
voted for II he stated that it the duty here TO
pass constitutional measures He had voted for
the bill, but at the same time had expressed his
doubts AZ to ts constltntionaity. He had given the
advocates OF the bill his vote to show his desire to
let them have charter OF their own choice. Now,
however, as his doubts had received confirmation,
he would feel himself justified In voting In the
Mr.. ALBERGER asked, what would be done II this
sil was not passedY At this stage OF the session t
would be impossible to give the city such charter
~ should nave He had alwayshad great respect for
the opinion or the Governor but he could not take
his opinion in this case. He was clearly satisfied
1hat 1t was constitutional
MI VEDDER said he had voted for that bin under
protest. and since he had voted for the bill he had
made further examination OF the question and be-
come convinced OF the uncOnstitutonality of the
pin; and what surprised him most was that others
besides himself having these doubts should have
ctca for s the bin; Ine only I republican who showed @
wac his friend nom Ulster, Dr.. Loughran. He hon
pred him for 1t.
Tne Speakers attention was called to the fact
Messrs Hart and Whitbeck.
IRA d. BROWN opposed the veto, and sustained
she action OF the House in passing the bin.
Mr.. GRIFFIN said he was not present when the
p,n passed, but having confidence in those who had
presented the bin, he would probably have voted
tor 1t. Now, however, having its provisions
brought more plainly to view be would vote
Mr.. TwoMBLY said he had found distinguished
onalty OF the charter, though he confessed he had
always had O misgiving with regard TO II on this
point He would now therefore vote against the
The failure OF this charter here would not re-
salt in disaster The city now had good charter
