fBY TELEGRAPH TO THB rTyIBUEKl
ALBANY. Feb. 26.-The net result of whole days
discussion of the Charter IN the Assembly Is a
change in the Constitution of the Board Of Alder
men to be elected in November, 1874 Instead OF ID
members the Board is 20 consist of 2l, of whom .
have TO be chosen from the city at large, and
from each of the Senate Districts No voter can
have more than names on his ticket for Aldermen
to be chosen, and the 3 having the highest number
of votes are elected
The same arrangement for minority representa-
tiOD is carried out the Of the six elected at
large. The further consideration of the Charter ks
made special order for Tomorrow morning, the
Assembly having refused to order it to third read
ing at present by vote of AZ to 5.
The further discussions and the minor amend
ments incorporated in the bill arc merely conces-
sions to public opinion. Many members openly
avowed, tonight that since a Republican Legisla-
ture wOuld have tO be responsible for the Charter 1t
was both the right and the duty of the Legislature
TO take possession OF the patronage. This base view
of their duties as Legislators and of their obligations
10 the City of New York shamelessly avowed by
Messrs Batcheller, Hustled and Pierson, and is al
uons to the Charter. The argument is this:
We are to be held responsible for the government
of the city. To govern it well we must have com
plete control of the machine, and we cannot have
this control unless we have all the patronage
Ii is only a roundabout way of expressing the old
idea to the vctOrs belong the spoils of the van
quished. 1t certainly is entire remuneration OF
the principle that the local government of munich
palites should be divorced as far possible from
national politics.
A motion TO give the appointing power TO the
Mayor. subject to the confirmation of the Aldermen
was made and ably supported by Mr.. Lincoln, but
only 80 votes were counted in favor of it, showing
that the strength of the CustOmhouse leaders s not
at all broken If anything it has been increased by
the proceedings of to-day, a natural consequence OF
