ALBANY, April 10, 1873.
At last the struggle over the charter in the
Senate is at end, and thanks to the peculiar inu-
ences brought to bear upon few Of the "honora-
ble'' Senators on the majority side, the Comptrol-
Ter has been allowed to occupy the corner in the
bin which he has been working heaven and earth
for during the past ten days through his
henchmen in the lobby. When the bill was called
up this morning the galleries were crowded in
every part by far the larger portion of the specta-
tors being politicians OF the old Tammany Ring ilk,
who for reasons which can be explained here
AFTER had nocked up here by the tens
and twenties the night previous. 1t was
generally understood that the Senate
would get through with the bill to-day and both
republicans and democrats, inside and outside the
circle, looked anxious and expectant The great
struggle was, as q matter OF course, over the re-
Sention Of Green. The unsophsticated who had

retain him would succeed. Indeed they had good
cause for their belief for the that motion
to retain him made the day before had not only
been lost but motion to reconsider the vote by
which 1t was lost was also voted down, thus
according to parliamentary law enectually
ng the motion to retain was again entertained
to-day is mystery past finding out, at least at
present; but it must not be understood that the
vote which has given Green temporary crumb OF
comfort by retaining him was reached without de-
llDcrate caucusing and consultation. In fact.
the thing was fixed the night before at
the Deavan House, after the most approved
style so prevalent in the days when Tam
