THE STATE CAPITAL
An Interim CT Intrigue and
Wirepulling.
BILL 10 AMEND THE CONSTITUTION.
Order in the Assembly Under
Mcclure.

ALBANY, Jan. 9, 1875
Both houses OF the Legislature having adjourned
this morning until Tuesday next the United States
Sena sorship and the appointment OF committees
will alone absorb the attention OF our polttici ans
until that time. Then the work OF legislation COM
mences In earnest, and the ball OF intrigue and
wirepuing viii be iairly set in motion. Mr..
Speaker Mcclure took the gave in his hand to- Gay
precisely at eleven O'Clock and inaugurated mis-
maiden efforts presiding over legislative BODY.
MORE ORDER REQUIRED.
The proceedings OF the Assembly have been NTH
erto conducted more ike a political gathering on
Tweed Plaza" in the Seventh ward, than with
that dignity and decorum so essential In delio-
erauive bodies. Under Mr. McGuire's administra-
ton an improv ement may be looked for. Members
and their friends rushed hither an thither, while
1t almost an impossibility to hear word that
was said. This might have been all very well
during the 'sure thing" process OF Ring rule, when
every little helped confuse and keep the public
from ascertalning the main points OF bills intro
duced. But now different state Of affairs may De
expected under the administration OF Mr.. MCGUIRE.
THE MYSTERIOUS INFLUENCE OF THE PRESS.
Another element which makes itself on1cious in
Albany the bogus correspondents. Men come
from different parts OF the State and even from
New York, who claim to belong TO this paper or
that, when in fact they merely come here on
speculation TO try and negotiate cerkships on
committees at SIS per day, or to hang in the train
of some prominent member, IN the hope OF
lobbying through some petty scheme. It would be
well for Mr.. Mcclure 10 teach these gentlemen
lesson and send them home to their crackers and
cheese.
POWERS OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF EMIGRATION.
The bill of Mr.. I. G. Campbell, Of New York,
giving power to presidents OF the Irish and Ger
man emigration societies OF that city, 70 have
voice IN the appointment OF employees, was intro
duced to-day. such a law should be passed.
Taking away the privilege, it Will be recollected,
caused considerable discussion some time since.
wEsTCHESTER EXCISE LAW.
MIR. Schenelin bill provides Tor a repeal OF the
old Excise law OF Westminster county. 1t is stated
by Mr. Settlement tnat this statute has been a iai-
ure, ana that over $40, 600 has been lost 70 the
county for support OF the poor by reason OF Its
operations.
Mr.. seward inaugurated his entrance into the
Legislature bv introducing concurrent resolu-
TO the constitution. Among others is a clause
liking the term OF state Senators and Classifying
as 70 S aT ers 90 are before she
people when this generation ceases to exist.
Having Just concluded an arduogs campaign IN
this constitutional business would II not be pol
ley for Mr.. Seward 20 give US slight resting
spell
