REPUBLICAN SCHEMES TO RETAIN A MAJORITY IN IHB
SENATE.
In this emergency the party leaders have been looking
other chance TO contest seat and tbey
are now considering the Of Hugh H. Moore, Dem
ocrat Of the With Senatorial District OF this city, VINO
is returned elected by about $50 majority over Gen.
Pinckney Republican Alderman McCsferty ran on tho
Apollo Hall ticket In the district, and the fraud *
any, is alleged TO have been In counting some OF M
McCsferty's votes for Mr.. Moore The evidence on
which to base contest this district rs said 10 be
him but az he has no personal interest In contest be-
tween Mr. Pinckney and Mr. Moore, he does not appear
to be over anxious TO step the breach 70 save the
Republican party in the Senate. II this scheme fas
there is but recourse left TO the Republican Ieaders
and this involves degree Of humiliation that 10 nara
indeed them bear but which, nevertheless they
have decided submit last resort II Is nothing
less than TO appeal for ad-beg for IL need beto the
Liberal Republicans. II ia generally known that there
we're three Liberal Republicans elected TO the incoming
Senate Of this state-Messrs C0e OF Kings County Alb
bot OF Orange. and Middleton Of Jefferson ghey have
all classed by the partisan journals as Democrats,
and before the election, none were more swift thus 10
classify them than the Republican Journals. At that
time the party full, supposed to be full and the
leaders very exclusive Now 1t Is quite the re-
verse; It is willing accept recruits wherever can
ind them II is said that the Republicans willing 10
grant full absoluon TO any Liberal Republican snher'
repentant unrepentan and restore him to fu felow
ship provided he will only come 10 the rescue ana beip
restore scattered foc An order has been issued to
capture Liberal Republicans wherever they can be
found and especially to capture the three Liberal he
pubcans elected the noxt Senate as their services
are likely to be in immediate demand Senator Coe OF
Brooklyn regarded by OF the leaders as hopeful
backsder, and special pains are 20 be taken 10 DrnS
him back into the fold He reported TO have sad that
he was under obligations party faction and tins
is construed that lie Is much Republican a.
to his sentiments well as anybody, Is counieht
that he will act all party questions with the Demo
Gratis, or, Mr.. Jacobs expresses IT, with the party
that elected him." II is also claimed by the Democrats
OF the Xth XvIIIth Districts that Senators A0Dott
and Middleton will with them on all party measures
In the meantime is certain that ne stone VIII be let
unturned by the Administration Republicans to induce
them TO act with that party IN the pext Senate Ihe
task of constructing Standing Committees OF the
new Senate has already been assumed by the Federal
oceholders OF this city, and, with TINS power IN ther
hands, they expect TO be able to strengthen the RepAo
can side Of the house and maintain its ascendency
They have also taken upon themselves 10 name the
Clerk OF the senate and have selected for that position
Henry A. Gidden, who Assistant Clerk under Chas
r DAYTON last year. 1t is said that Senators Wood,
oyery ard Others favor the reelection OF Mr. Dayton,
and spurn dctaon OF the Customhouse as tey eid
last Winter the subject Of the New-York Charter 80
that there prospect Of lively squabble In the party
over the election Of the Senate Clerk. All things con-
sidered the new Legislature will not open with the
rosest prospects for the dominant party; and unless
men OF different class employed c0unseors from
who undertook TO the party machine az Albany
the result likely t0 be even more disastrous
than 1t was then.
PROJECTS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TRANSIT.
With reference the legislative projects to come be-
fore the next Legislature there is not much Of definite
character yet developed. Owing to the strngency in
the money market and the lmpecunioUsDess
Of the lobby it is believed that private jobs and schemes
will not nsual aud 1t Is reported that
Gov Dix in his next annual message, will set hIs face
sternly against special legislation OF all kinds There
will probably tinkering of the New York char
ter by the party in power provided they succeed IN
maintaining their ascendency the Senate and there
will doubtless be bill introduced, which Will receive
large support from both parties TO make the Office OF
Controller In this city elective. 1t is also reported
that an effort will be made 10 abolish the Corporation
paper called The CITY Record and transfer the ofcia
advertising back the regular newspapers under proper
RESTRICTIONS The City of Brooklyn TO present new
charter or such a modification of the one passed last
year as will make IL entirely non-parsan. None OF the

dermen The charter is to be based principle with no

contingencies II be framed according TO the wishes
of the Reform Committees Of that city, and viii be IN
troduced at the beginning of the session by Senator
Jacobs
Some important railroad projects are concocting
promnent among which is a new scheme for quick
transit in NewYork city, whose leading feature Is de-
mand for city aid building the road. The projectors
Of this scheme alege that the experience OF the last Is
years has shown that quick transit on Manhattan Island
is never likely to be achieved unless the road is but
in whole or in part by the city and that inasmuch as
ouick transit admitted by all to be the supreme ne
cessty of NewYork the the city takes hold OF
the enterprise the better The scheme now hstchine
said to be engineered by b. i. ByrDe OF London VINO
WAS formerly connected with Mr. b. Ogden in the Cen
trail Underground project and who backed By Eoeish
capitalists The bill is to provide for road commenc-
ing at City Hall Park and running down through tho
Five Points, up Mulberry ST., across the bowery,
and thence up town TO the Harlem River between
second and Thrdaves IL be manly aviaduct road
and to RUN through between blocks interfering as
little possible with the streets The proposition wtn
regard to city aid Is that after the company has sub
scrbed IS and paid in so cent OF that amount
the city snail subscribe like and the Mayor shall
be authorized to appoint four directors OF the company
