owned by a man named John laing; but whether
he raised the gun to defend himself in the
fight, or whether 1t was discharged at q
possible assalant and shot the wrong man,
has not yet been determined. In his statement
before the Coroner Muhling, however, exOnerated
Lang rom all blame in the matter. Up to last
evening the injured man remained in critical

before nine and among them we're many Of what
IS known as eminent men In ars politics, finance,
commerce and religion, and not a few were accom-
panied by ladies. Indeed, when the rooms were
iull the scene was a somewhat brilliant one. The
nrst ceremony naturally was the introduction OF
the guests 10 the lion OF the evening, and
the consequent hand shaking, which took
up about one hour. At ten precisely all

THE STATE CAPITAL.
Republican Wire.Pullers Canvassing for the
spsakership Of the Assembly-No Democrats
in the Contest - Chances Of the Candi-
dates Hustled, the "Bald Eagle
Of Westchester," the Favorie


ALBANY, Jan. g. 1874.
Although the Legislature does not assemble un-
til Tuesday next, at noon, the hotels are already
crowded with politicians from all parts OF the State
who have an interest in the disposal OF the
offices to be filed when the organization takes
place. AS yet. however, there are but lew of the
members elect OF either house In town; and al
though the question as to who Is to be the next
Speaker is the all-absorbing topic. the canvassing
to the leading candidates Is yet rather uncer
tain.
ENTRIES FOR THE RACE.
Hustled, Prince, AIv0rd and Batchelder are here
the two former having suits OF rooms at the Della
van. The odds seem to be In favor OF Hustled. 1t
being generally understood now that Alvord Is not
to put himself IN the way as an Independents
NO SHOW FOR OLD TAMMANY.
The democrats have very wisely decided not to
take an active part in the contest one way or the
other; and thus the fight will be to the end ex-
clusively republican battle.
CONFLICTING CALCULATIONS.
Prince himself claims that he has so members
pledged to vote for him; and Husted's friends as
sert that he has SO. AS there are only 10
republican MEMBERS all told, in the Assembly 1t is
only charitable to suppose that both parties are
rather mistaken as to their calculations. Judging
from present indications Hustled is backed by the
real hard workers Of the party from all parts OF
the State.
STATUS OF THE CITY PATRIOTS.
The strankest feature about the matter. far, is
that the Custom House Is divided against itself,
one faction being Ourspoken Tor Prince, and the
other quite as pronounced for Hustled. The New
York city delegation is divided on the issue, but
1t is given out to night, on good authority. that
by Monday morning all the republicans from
Gotham VIII be q unit for the "Bald Eagle" He
has gained considerably, too, with many OF the
country members tonight. who have up to the
present time been opposed to him, on
the strength Of the announcement that
Tom Murphy has determined to kill Prince
at all hazards. Tom has wirepullers in the various
counties, and hts reputed influence at Washing
ton very naturally has great weight with all those
DISTINGUISHED REPUBLICANS
from the backwOOds districts who have
hankering for the spoils OF office.
What makes Husted's chances brighter
still Is the fact that Lincoln, OF Ontario,
whom the anti-Custom House republicans
have been anxious to capture, as a ''splt" candi-
date, not only refuses to run against him. but has
tonight declared openly in his.lavor.
STILL between now ana Tuesday morning, when
nearly all the members will be on hand. great
many changes may take place, and in view of the
absence OF so many OF the prominent wirepuers
OF the party 1t is by means safe to predict who
the successful candidate will be.

Gaslight, mt the New York Colosseum.
Within few weeks past there has been built on
Broadway. Thirty fifth and Thlrty-sixth streets,
large, circular edihce OF brick and iron, in strik-
ing style OF architecture. Some have concluded 1t
to be an enormous gasometer, and others have set
1t down as swollen circus. It Is the Colosseum m.
The public will soon have an opportunity to know
from optical observation what that term means.
Representatives Of the press had that pleasure yes

1t as q solid looking structure upon which rises
a great circular DOME dominated by a central
tower rising far up skyward. q landmark visible
for long distance from the central portions OF the
city. Entering by the hallway from Broadway one
comes into wide circular promenade, whose
outer wall is more than 800 feet In extent with
high walls, handsomely decorated, and an archcd
glass roof Round the exterior will be ranged
several alcoves devoted to objects OF scientific and
general interest for the entertainment OF visitors
But the prominent feature OF the Colosseum exhlbi-
ton will be seen after ascending bya staircase or
in the great elevator to the several galleries placed
round the high tower which fills the central space.
Stepping upon one OF these balconies one has before

Of this view OF old London which Is attached per-
manently to the wall, you viii see representa-
