ALBANY, Jan. 10, 1872.
The second week OF the session has opened quite
briskly and business has commenced to accumu.
late. Last night trans brought up large crowds
from New YORK and Brooklyn, each one Interested
in some OF the various measures Already introduced
or soon to be introduced In either House. Among
those who left In the four p M. train from New
York yesterday were the venerable Mr.. Tilden,
Commissioner Hank Smith, Alderman Con-
over, Pubic Works Van Mort O. T.
Polhamus and few othera As already
reported, the train ran or the track Newburg,
and Immediately all hands thought Of the accident
at New Hamburg last year. TO say they were
scared would scarcely express their mental condi-
ton demonstrated BY their physical and physiol0
gical appearance. Tilden has scarcely recovered
ms equilibrium as yet, although he is smiling
around quite good-naturediy. To-day Colonel A. G.
Davis counsel OF Brookyn's Committee OF Seventy.
I'VE, arrived, and he is now engaged In making the
necessary soundngs 30 That 10 sinking the caisson
on which the pillar OF reform is to be
erected In the sea OF party strife in Brooklyn

Is determined that the column on the Brooklyn side
shall be Arm, AND IL the column being erected on
tire New York side be also firm, as II should ne, 1t
will be easy throw the bridge OF honest govern
ment so as to connect in the good work the TWO
great cities OF the State. There may be reasons to
fear, however that the New York reform column
may be snasy. There are too nanv attempting to
act as engineers. SO many kinds Of material and
different methods OF construction are advised that
1t may remain like the Washington Monument
grand structure promised all sorts OF beautiful
blocks, furnished and ready, but the erection in
definitely postponed. The New Workers here, how.
ever, are, 1t would seem, really In earnest.
THE CoMPTRoLLER'ss BILL
The bill which stated IN my despatch last even
Ing would be brought up In the Senate this morning
to take the place OF that wonderful one which the
goOd-natured Benedict was induced to father last
week, came up in due form shortly after the assem-.
bling OF the Senate. Madden, who made such
terrific onslaught on the first Dl evidently had not
at the time all his suspicious iulled as to The
aim and intent Of the new measure, for Benedict
had no sooner introduced 1t than he got up and
asked If 1t had been printed. Poor Benedict
got suddenly red in the face and, rather dlsmayed
looking, turned round, faced Madden, and ex-
claimed, rather tarty, sit has not, SIR" Madden
made no reply, but simply COntented himself with
shaking his head and looking at theNew York Senac
tors him though he felt like saying and yet
didn't care to stir up any rumpus by doing sof
'TyE GOT MI EYE on you FOLKS"
Benedict was apparently very much annoyed at
Maadens interference, and stood few seconds
near his desk without saying word,
firmly and cutching his manuscript copy
Of the bill which he held in his hand with tighter
grasp than ever, as though he anticipated another
fight like that OF Thursday last and was in great
doubt to the best way TO get out OF It with flying
col0rs. Finally he recovered himself and began to
explain what the difference was between the drst
bill and the one ne was then and there anxious the
Senate should pass instanter, when up again got
the red oubtable Madden. IL ask again, siru said
he, addressing the President rs tins bill printed p,

explanatory sentence he had but just begun when
