ALBANY. April 10.-Another stage of the Charter
Struggle was ended to-day by the passage of the bill
trough the Senate. None but Democrats voted
aainst t, and they mustered only four-Cock, john
sn. OBrien and Tiemann. The number of Republi-
ems voting for II was 90. The Assembly viii pretty
surely disagree with the Senate's amendments,
Conference Committee will be appointed, and IN

The vote on retaining Police Commissioner Henry
Smith was a significant one Some clumsy attempts
were made to whitewash the character of Smith, no
tably by the Polonus of the Senate, Mr.. Benedict.
II had come to the knowledge oil Mr.. Benedict that
some charges had been made against Smith, and
some clamor raised about him by the newspapers,
but 10 there had against other men. He was not
TO be influenced by idle rumors, and accordingly he
voted to keep Smith at the head of the Police Com
mission. The following was the vote democrats in
Hadcsl: .. ...

satisfy the views of the ardent reformers Of the
lobby, for the lobby viii take an active part in
future proceedings.
