TEE SIX ACCUSED SENATOR'S.
The report of Archdae O'Doherty's testimcny DE-
fore the Erie Committee, as reported In the
HERALD this morning, brought the Senate to its
feet tonight. Senator chatfeld, who Is known to
be as immaculate as acamp meeting education can
make any man. rose at the opening tonight, and
said, in presenting the following resolutions
ssI desire to say have never received any OF the
money spoken of herein, and have therefore no
Hesitation in presenting resolution. l think 1t
O. due to the Senate that the resolution should be
adopted as there is a wholesale charge against the
senate. / don't think there is any truth in the
charge as made. think it is due TO the Senate
that an investigation be made. Therefore trust
the resolution will be adopted.
The following is the resolution, which was
adopted unanimously

i The bill to establish
A MUNICIPAL COURT,
In place OF the Marine Court, in New York city, was
discussed in Committee Of the Whole, but Senator
weissman attacked it with such vehemence that
she patron OF it was glad enough TO progress it.
The Judges OF the Marine Court will present them
selves before long to protest against its passage.
Senator Weissman, in his speech, said that the Ma
rine Court, which this bill proposes to abolish, Is
now court OF record, has been favored Court for
poor men in New York city for fifty years, and
has transacted in late years more business than
any other Conrt in the city had ever transacted.
THE CHARTER FIGHT
viii open tomorrow night, it may be very quietly,
IN the Senate chamber The measure comes up as
special order, and, as "Senate bill No. 297," lies
,ts new Committees cor amendments Smiling upon its
face The Senate tonight was unusually
ial for Monday evening session, and Its
row on the gala occasion that promises
10 celebrate the charter discussion: The second
section, which restores the Board OF Assistant
Aldermen, will probably commence the trouble;
Tor, although little davenport took occasion to tell
Mr. Wade, the President Of that Board, that nobody
wanted it retained but its own members, the re-
suit in the committee indicates differently, rs at
fought persistenty until he secured its retenti n.
The fight on the Assistant Aldermen may exhaust
%sy e oe FREQ OF over minor measures the
came evening and next day, but the big night Will
twenty-irth, and viii be likely 70 occur about
Thursday. The advocates OF this section are few
and far between, the Committee on Cities itself
almost universally condemned, the fight Will be
rather over the proposed improvements upon 1t
than upon the fundamental section Itself.
TwEED's PROSPECTIVE VISIT.
Albany is delighted at the prospective visit of

on holiday attire and hang out silken banners
perhaps even send some OF its cherished and nu-
merous milltiamen to welcome the hero back and
escort him from the depot TO Congress Han. He

days OF Tammany, and her people gladden. add at the
sit IN the Court Of Appeals room in the capitol,
and the chamber will doubtless be crowded by
great Albany crowd.
The bill relative to
