Albany, Jan. 13.-The Legislature reassembled
this evening, and opened the work of the session by
launching Ss bills upon the Assembly and eight
in the Senate. Most of them are of no
public Importance. One introduced in the
Assembly by Mr.. Scherman proposes to
repeal the Commission of Charitable Correction
created last Winter to look after Juvenile vagabonds
The old bill to consolidate the City and County of
NewYork which failed last Winter is again offered
Mr.. Alvord presented bill to correct defect in the
law passed last year relative to Excise Boards
which by repeating the act of 1857 left the Boards
without power to prosecute for violations of the
Excise law The House failed, for want of two
thirds vote, to make the constitutional amendments
the special order for Thursday
The Lieutenant Governor announced the Senate
Committees, the heads of which have already been
anticipated in these dispatches. They give general
satisfaction There considerable disappoint-
ment the failure of Speaker Hustled to announce
the Assembly Committees tonight but the pressure
brought to bear upon the Speaker TO make
changes in the list made up by him during the re-
cess has been so great that he decided at the
last moment to defer the announcement till to-
morrow morning. The leading chairmanships
are as stated In THE TRIBUNE to-day, with
the exception of that of Commerce and
Navigation, which rests undecided between Biglin
of New-York, Bennett of Brooklyn, and Vedder Of
Chautauqua The scramble for chairmanships and
places on the leading Committees exceeds anything
ever witnessed here before, and Mr.. Hustled, who
wished to please everybody, is worried to death"
by the opportunities of his political and personal
friends. The following list far as it goes, will be
found to vary but little from the announcements
that will be made tomorrow:

IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Tbe Postmaster General
has written letter 10 the House Committee on
Post Offices and Post-Roads, recommending legis-
laton to cover back into the Treasury the additional
subsidy of S5OO,OOO granted the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company two years ago, for carrying the mail
from San Francisco TO China aud Japan. This ad-
,dional subsidy was given on condition that
the Company should put seml-monthly service
in Amercan-built iron steamers. The Company have
thus far failed to carry out then part OF the con-
tract, and the PostmasteI-General says that they
are making preparations to do so. They have, IT
Ii said only two vessels building and 1t will take
long time to complete these and when completed
Ithey will not afford the Company the facilities
necessary for performing the increased service The
Committee hold the contract to be forfeited by the
Failure of the Company TO comply with the agree
ment in which view they agree with the Post
master General, who took the same ground III his
last annual report.
The penalty prescribed III the contract for ITS vlo
haton was 81 600 day for 80 DAYS from Oct J. 1870
at which date the extra service was to have begun
and 5000 day after the 30 days expired. The
Postmaster General has taken no measures 20 en-
force the penalty, but treats the S50C000 apprOpr
priated as a sum forfeited by the intended recipi
ents which should be returned 70 the Treasury
lie has already informed the Appropriation Com
mittee that there should be 10 further
appropriations for the extra subsidy. 1t is alleged
that the managers of the Pacific Mail Company
were 80 enTossed 10 speculating in the stock that
bhey paid no attention TO making the contract for
the building of the ships. Instead Of the three
vessels which were required to make sem-mouthy
rips, only two contracted for and the require

entirely dsregarded The two new vessels are not
