ALBANY, Feb. ID. 1872,

Greeley faction, is here, with Tom Stewart and
Others, and has his heart and mind set on the pas
sage OF the oin introduced by Twombly to create
mongrel general commission to have sole charge OF
the port and harbOr OF New York. Shaw and his
crowd endeavored to make bargain with the
Committee of Seventy men by agreeing to support
the charter OF the latter If they would
throw their influence In favor Of the stupendous
swlndle provided for in Twombly's bill. They
clalmel mat that this would enable them to Offset
the custom House IN power ana patronage. The
Seventyites would not make the bargain; so now
Shaw, Stewart ana company are Induced to offer, as

Is manifest that these elegant "reformers" have an
eye only TO the '1oaves and fishes" and care no
more to effect good government or reform than any
oil their predecessors did They claim that New
YORK city is hopelessly democratic, and they
seem to appreciate the fact that their boy
Ism and persistent faction fights here
ana elsewhere are making their party weak,
SO that instead OF laying aside their sptes and pre-
JUDGES, they want TO make desperate grab for q
large amount OF patronage, no matter how much
their actions may interfere with public or private
interests. Their sudden prosperity and success has

THE sEvENTY's CHARTER
Is In very precarious predicamenr. The Solons
became nervous last night when the House showed
80 little interest In the matter, and only voted aye
or no as 1t pleased the majority. They do not
doubt now that the republican politicians are per.
fecting combinations to defeat them and
pass the charter which was introduced
on Monday night last They expected that
to-day the final struggle would be MADE
and then they would know just what to expect.
But the cunning Old salt got up shortly after the
House had convened this morning, reminded the
members that the use Of the Chamber had been
grant to the State Agricultural Society for its
annual meeting to-day at noon and moved to post
pone the consideration OF the special order until to-
morrow morning. This brought several to their
feet with astonlshment Alberger moved to make
tn postponement until this evening. Old Salt re.
mind ed him that the society had the use OF the
Chamber Tor the evening aso for the annual
actress. TINS was snag in the way
that had been entirely overlooked by the majority
although Alvord was evidently not OF the number,
ana az the resolution providing for the immediate
vacation had been previously adopted, they feared
that their pet was doomed to go until after the
10Th inst; so that in the meantime the opponents
oil their charter could perfect their combinations
and cause their utter defeat.
ANOTHER CAUSE FOR DISCONTINUE
to the seventytes was the appearance OF circular
this morning, copies OF which We're laid on the desks
In both chambers. The circular is supposed to have
been prepared by Henry l.. Clinton, and will be
found to speak for itself. IL is as lollows:-
