IRON THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF TIE TRIBUNE
ALBANY, March 11.-Thc Assembly today made
its best record for industry, sitting for four hours
and apparently striving to forget in the third read
ing of bills the way in which it earned yesterday
the contempt which it tired to fix upon witness.
The first tilt of the day. aud there were several.
was the County TreasureTs bill, which had
been recommitted to the Committee of WAYS and
Means with instructions to amend SO that it should
not apply to county treasurers now IN oce-a pTac-
teal notification of the BILL inasmucb these oli-
Gals are elected for three years. Mr. Hammond re-
ported the bill so amended, but moved to recommit
it without instructions This device, which would
leave the Committee at liberty to restore the bill to
its former shape. warmly contested by Messrs.
Lincoln and Petty, who led the opposition
and as vigorously upheld by Aessrs Ham
mond Burtis. and Waehner The opponents
of the bill charged that it was simply
a blow aimed at the Albany banks who now hold u
large part of these funds while on the other hand
it was retored that its opponents were acting only
10 the interest of county treasurers. Mr. Ham
monds motion was finally carried. the bill recon-
mitted and reported in few moments with tho
Objectionable clause stricken out. The report was
finally adopted, and the bill passed by vote OF ~
to g. Mr.. Lincoln voting for it, with the statement
that he favored the main provisions of the BILL and
would not b. prevented from yotnG, for il by tho
fact that i. not amended to sui. his views.
The livcest debate of the day was over Sheriff
Conner's bill to legislate the Marine Court Mar
or, fall arla Of
arrest, warrants of attachment, executions, and pro-
ceedings to recover personal property in civil ac-
tions-except when the Sheriff is a necessary party
thcreto-nade in or issuing out OF amy court II
record, whether by statute or otherwise. shall 10
issued to the Sheriff only. Nj. Petty OF Suffolk
made fierce onslaught OH the bill, a3 Icing meie,y
ameasure TO fatton the Sheriff without regard TO
the interests of the people, but Messrs. r. J. Camp
bell Waehuer and Kenuaday defended it on tho
ground that the Marine Court MarsLas ire
sponsiblc meE giving only small bond for tho
performance of their dnteA and that the
passage of the measure was desired not only by tho
Bar Association, bat by all practicng lawyers
in the City of New-York. Mr.. Petty's opposition
aroused considerable bad temper anoag the Tam
many adacrcn.s OF the bill, and his amendment.
prCvidiaI that nothing in the act should be held TO
refer to the City aud County of New-York, was re-
eel we'd with jeers The most active securing OF the
halls aud cblics for votes followed that has been
seen since the passage of the Cosiigan bill Recruits
