LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.


BY THE AssEMBLY-THE TAX LEVY PASSED.
fPROM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT or THE TRIBUhBl
ALBANY, April 3O.-The veto of the New-fork
Charter was sent into the Assembly this morning,
and after it was read through. the Speaker put the
question whether the bill should pass notwthstand
ing the Veto Mr. Alvord spoke in favor OF sustain
ing tho veto. He said that while no thought it in
cumbent on the Legislature to give some Charter to
the City of New-York before they adjourned, he 4
found that the present bill would lead to litigation.
and perhaps to riot and boodshed. The principle Of
cumulative voting formed the most Objectionable
feature Of the bill in the opinion of the Governor
and that opinion had been arrived at after
careful consideration and consultation with eminent
lawyers and Others and if we should pass 1t, there
could be little doubt that il would be declared I'M
constitutional. Messrs. Hustled. Vedder. TwomblY.
and many others spoke on the question: the generai
feeling being in favor of sustaining the veto.
Finally, after long discussion the previous question
was called, and the veto sustained by vote OF
70 to 38-this small number representing those IN
favor of overriding tho veto. Tho chief part Of the
session was consumed in the debate on tho Charter,
and the remainder was devoted to remarks on the
life and character OF the late Senator Jacob
Resolutions Of respect passed In both Houses.
While tho Speaker was addressing the House on the
death Of Senator Hardenbergh, he made some feeling
illusions to the condition OF Mr.. Underwood, ana hau

Underwood leaves vacancy in the Office OF CLERK OF the
