A road to the Delaware that carriages aud or

QUICK TRANSIT IN THE ASSEMBLY.

TIE THIRD AND FOURTII-AyE. BILLS PAssED-IHE
OPPOSITION TO BOTH MEAsUREs-THE REASONS
GIVEN BY MEMBERS FOR AND AGAINST THE BILLS.
PROM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE rRIBuNE'I
ALBANY, April 2s-The Assembly was busy all the
morning session passing bills. The Third and
Fourth-ave. Quick Transit bills, which have been
sleeping for ten days past and supposed to have
been abandoned by their authors, were unexpect-
eddy revived and put on their passage The reason
assigned for their resurrection is that IN case the
Eastman bill should pass the Senate road might
possibly be located over the Vanderbilt or lhrd-
ave route and therefore it was necessary that the
bills should pass in order to retain possession OF the
route. If the Eastman bill can be killed in the
Senate it is thought that neither the Third nor
Fourth-ave bill will be pushed through that body
The Third-aye, bill was first called IN the third
readings, and by persistent drumming up OF MEN,
bers its friends succeeded in getting Il votes On
the call of the roll many members took occasion to
eYpress their opinions of the bill. Mr.. Hammond
said that if the caldwell bill the last bill that
was ever before the Legislature, as the Railroad
Committee united in saying it was, he saw no ne
cessity Of passing inferior bills like the Third and
Fonrth-aye. bills and therefore he should vote
"Nay."
Mr. Prince voted yea" assigning as a reason
that he made it rule to vote for all rapid transit
bills in the hope that something practical might re-
suit from some one OF them.
Mr. Coughlin said he was sincerely in favor OF
rapid transit and because he had no confidence that
il would ever be obtained under this bill he should
vote against it,
MI Eastman said that notwithstanding majority
of the New York delegation was opposed 70 the DILL
and the Board of Aldermen and the Mayor OF New
York had expressed their opposition to it, and the
press had all denounced it monstrous, the country
members of the House insisted upon passing the BILL
He believed this BILL like that of the Harlem Rail-
road Company was designed to defeat instead Of to
promote quick transit and he should therefore vote
Nay
Mr.. Phillips said the Assembly had already passed
bill renting to Commissioners the power to select
a plan and route for rapid transit in New York. and
he therefore saw no necessity for this bill. lie
voted 81 Nay"
When the Vanderbilt or Fourth-ave. bill was
reached, similar objections were made to it on the
call of the roll, but 1t succeeded in passing Dy
vote of Is to 81. Mr. Fish denounced the Dill az an
outrage upon the people of New-York ana ih''-
mated that il was put through the House by corrupt
means.
Mr.. Lincoln believed that the hackers OF TINS p'ii
were in position TO give New-York rapid transit
quicker and cheaper than any other parties lhey
already had six miles of quick transit nearly com
pleted while any other company Womb d" 1""peiled

CURRENT TOPICS AT THE CAPITAL.
AN OLD TRICK OF THE LOBBY REVIVED AND
EXPOSED.
WASHINGTON, Tuesday. April

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, April rs, 1874.
The lobbyists old trick of inserting the names of
promnent men from various sections of the country
among the corporators of schemes seeking the aid
of Congressional legislation exposed to-day in
the House. Mr. Maynard said he had received q
letter from John TTimbe. formerly representative
from Tennessee asking him to state that the use of
his name in the bill to incorporate the International
Land and Immigration Company without his
sanction. The Speaker remarked that he had re-
ceived more than one letter from persons named as
corporators in the bill making similar disavowals.
1t would seem after this that Mr.. Dunnel who in
troduced the bill III question, ought now to rise and
explain. The bill, which has already been favor
ably reported by the Committee on Public Lands,
creates gigantic corporation to encourage immi-
grafton by buying land in the West and bringing
immigrants from Europe to settle upon it, and to
enable the Company TO do this, confers upon
it extraordinary powers to buy and sell land
anywhere in the United States, issue bonds,
loan money, establish agencies and make contracts.
In the long list OF corporators the following names
appear among others: Geo. w. Childs of Philadel-
phia; A. Garrettson of Cleveland, late Chief Com
missioner at the Vienna Exhibition; Lewis Season.
Of vc &c RbadG j. % Rot Of n

Commissioners at the Vienna Exhibition; ex-Gov:

Indiana and the Hon. Zebulon Vance of North Caro-
lima.
INQUIRY INTO THE CONDUCT OF NETWORK
CUSTOMS OFFICIALS.
Almost every year something is said in Congress
about the conduct of Custom house officials and
other United State officers IN NewYOrk going up TO
Albany to manipulate the Legislature and operate
in the lobby. The scandal is only too apparent but
it is. not known that the President or
Secretary Of the Treasury has ever taken
steps TO put stop to it, Perhaps they
have not been able to discover anything in
fering. To-day Mr.. Wood revived the subject by
offering q resolution directing the Committee Of
Ways and Means TO inquire whether any officer Of
from his Office TO visit the State Capital 10 influence
or secure corrupt legislation and whether 70 secure
such legislation offices in the Custom house have
