Albany, May 29.-The final session Of the AS
sembly began at 79O p. m with about 40 bills on the
order of third reading. During the recess between
the afternoon and evening sessions the post-ofice
box of each member had been supplied with paper
of popcorn, accompanied with printed circular
tendering the thanks of the third house
for the vigilance and fidelity with which
the members had attended to private interests dur
ing the session, and the indifference displayed for
the interests of the public. The session opened with
full gallery of spectators and a. large an attendance
of lobbyists az the limited space IN the rear of the
Chamber would permit. .' Pa
The utmost confusion and disorder prevailed
from the opening OF the session. Paper-balls
and other missiles were constantly hurled at
the heads of members in all parts of the Cham
ber Small tin horns were blown continuously
members smoked in their seats, and the whole APP
pearance of the Assembly was more like bedlam or
pandemonium than deliberative body. TheSpeaker
hammered away vigorously with his gavel until he
broke the handle and then he hammered with his
fists but his efforts TO preserve order only added to
the confusion II was almost impossible to hear
anything that was said or to keep run Of the pro-
ceedings. .......
The Civil Damage Temperance bill, known as the
Ohio law, came down from the Senate with An
amendment striking out the second section, which
provided for suits for damages against liquor ven
ders before Justice of the Peace. motion TO
cur in the amendment was lost and the bill was re-
turned to the Senate which receded from its amend
ment and passed II in its original shape.
The Central Park Deficiency bill came up on its
final passage when Mr. Deering moved to recommit
with instructions to insert a series of amendments
which he offered. His motion gave rise TO a spirited
debate which ended in its defeat and the passage of
the original bill.
Mr.. Jacobs presented the report of the Conference
Committee on the Brooklyn Bridge, and stated that
they had agreed on amendments that were satisfac-
cory TO all parties and their report was unanimous
AS amended the bill provides that the Mayors and
Controllers of the Cities of New York and Brooklyn
shall each appoint city director of the Bridge
Company, who are to report all expenditures The
quarterly meetings of the Board of Directors shall
be open, and all meetings shall be recorded. The
new Company may acquire stock of private stock
holders but not without the concurrent assent OF
the Mayors and Common Council OF the two cities.
If acquired, then the Mayors shall appoint all the
the directors subject TO confirmation by the Boards
of Aldermen. The report.was concurred in by both
Houses without opposition.
of third readings for the purpose of repeating the
Gardiner Railroad and Warehouse bill, but the two
thirds vote necessary for the purpose could not be
obtained. The report of the Conference Committee
on the Supply bill was adopted by the Senate with
great deal of difficulty. 1t barely secured the %
votes necessary to pass it. The opposition came
from Senators in whose districts public institutions
are situated, for which the appropriations were
cut down. Messrs Foster, Palmer, and Scoresby
voted against the bill at first but after
ward changed their votes. Mr., Narrower re-
fused to be reconstructed, feeling aggrieved be
cause the Governor declined to appoint any OF the
gentlemen recommended by him as Commissioners
of the Elmira Reformatory and also because the bill
contained no appropriation for the building of that
institution.
In the Assembly the report of the Conference
Committee was read at IL p. M, but no action had
been taken on it up to.the present counting The
prospect now is that the Legislature will not reach
an adjournment before the early morning hours of
Friday.
In the Senate the report of the Conference Com
mittee ON the Brooklyn Bridge bill was eoncurred in
without any discussion. Mr.. Murphy being Presi-
dent of the Bridge Company was excused from vot-

means for the support of the Government owing to
nv reducing the rate for the general fund from two
mills 10 one and one-haf mills, aud that for the
buildinq of asylums and reformatores from one
half mill 10 ive-sixteenths. This will bring the
aggregate tax for State purposes including schools
and canals. a little under seven mills. The tax for
the new Capitol was made one-half mill to CORE
spond with the appropriation.
The socalled Local Improvement bill, relating TO
contracts. assessments, and wooden pavements
which has been 50 often mentioned, failed TO get
through the Senate. Two votes were taken on IL TO-
day, one this morning and the other tonight. The
first division was Is to TO- and the second l6 to 10 in
