THE ERIE RAILWAY COMPANY
was again the subject OF fierce debate In the As
sembly this evening. 1t was brought about by Mr..
Babcock making a motion to reconsider the
vote by which the resolutions OF the night
made this motion at the request w of 'Ie Several
be appointed. Mr.. Person said he never knew of
any satisfactory result from a select committee and
moved to lay 1t on the table. Mr.. vedder thought
mittees, but In his opinion the Railroad Committee
had as mach as thev could do witaout this investi-
tived. lived Mr.. Weed said sal - that il the In.

Affirmative and orty-seven in the negative The
directing the investigation to go to q select COM
mfttee and were adopted
held O meeting today at which all the members
were present except the Chairman, Woedin, who Is
sick abed. There was little spirit evinces in the
dongs OF the committee although they progressed
somewhat lamely as Tar as the Tooth section.
This looks as II they were near the end, but
between the review and the reconsideration Of
their work, necessary before it can be reported
and the fact that at least one important section Is
entirely untouched there is still great deal to Do
The bill cannot most likely be repo ted before Fri
day, and Woodins illness may cause 1T to be thrswn
over till next week.
ANOTHER LITTLE COLORED GENTLEMAN
turned up to day in the bill sent up by Comptroller
Green in relation to taxation in the city OF New
York for the year 1873. clause stolen into the
bill provides that majority OF the Board OF Ap-
pOrtionment might at any time during the year by
o majority vote transfer any moneys from any ap-
preparation made by the Board to such other pur-
poses or objects OF the city and county might in
their judgment require the same. This would have
enabled a majority OF the Board OF Apportionment
at any moment TO strip any department OF the city
government to which they might be opposed OF all
It's funds and virtually abolish 1t. The Senate, in
viding that such transfer should only be made by
concurrent vote.
When the third readings of bills came on In the
Senate to-day very suspicious hiatns was discoy-
cred by accident in the Dry Dock and East Broad.
agreed upon in Committee OF the Whole this bill
contained provisions for an apparently very useful
railroad across town at Tenth street, witha clause
compelling the company to pay $50 per car to
the city as bonus for the privilege OF the
new franchise The rest Of the biz n
provided simply for curves and switches out-of-
the-way streets necessary to the working OF the
DTy DOCK railway dS HOW esCdulbHcus Wucu IL
came the list OF third readings day or two ago
Mr. Baker asked to have 1t recOmmitted, giving no
reason therefor, and it was so ordered To-day the
engrosssd bill came up for its final passage, and 10!
all provisions relative to the laying OF the Tenth
Street road and the paying OF $50 bonus were
scratched out, and nothing remained OF
the measure but the bare provisions
for the new curves and switches necessary to the
Dry Dock and East Broadway Railway. Mr.. Wels-
mann, when this scheme was exposed by Tiemann,
explained that the committee had seen mt to
change the terms OF the bill, because OF remOn-
strances against the Tenth Street Railroad by
property holders along the route; but the Senate
seemed to think this was rather wholesale egisa-
tiOn by q committee and the bill was consequently
lost Mr.. Weismann moved to have the vote re-
considered, however, and the motion LAID on the
table, which was carried.
