Mr.. KILLIAN.
ALBANY March 10, 1876
The friends OF the ''No Seat No Fare bill now that
the motion be taken up any time to reconsider
the vote by which tho Railroad Committees report
was agreed TO, determined to push things" and
to that end they will call the from the table
until there is full house Their idea is to have the
yeas and nays called get everybody on the rec
Afe
who are friendly to the main objects OF tho measure
contend that it would be better policy to have the mo-
ton to disagree made without call OF yeas and
nays, so those who not very strongly opposed to
the bill will be forced make fight II at tho
start BY this means they say that the bill can be
ferrcd TO tho Committee OF the Whole without much
trouble. However there
THIS DIFFICULTY
about the matter lfhe yeas and nays not called
when tho motion Is taken from The table, a decision on
q by q simple count would be rather unsaiisfac-
tory, for, II the motion were defeated tho op-
popents OF the bill would have their idcn-
tty pretty much hidden in the general
crowd 1t may be stated IN this connection that Mr.
wenze who madc the first motion Friday TO recon
sidcr was not, as enormously announced Sat
urday absent when the order OF third reading OF bills
had been gone through with. lie distinctly stated
a thin house that he deemed 1t best not TO
BRING ABOUT VOTE
on il that day. He present when the tight took
pace over the adjournment and is recorded as having
voted in the negative.
What has become OF Kian is, as Lord Dundrcary
would say something that "no fellow nnd ont " at
least no fellow up here. II has been stated by his
friends that he very sick the night the Railroad
Committee made their report, and that he left the
Assembly chamber acr being assured that the report
would be made until the following day. But he
did not show up all the cay and apparently
in good health early on Saturday morning. when he
he was passing the Dclavan by Of the clerks
TnE PLEA SICKNESS
Is rather lame account for his absence the
tire previous day. His return here II he is in New
York and intends return is looked forward to with
considerable interest as everybody is anxious 10 know
how he can explain his apparently nexplicablc
conduct At any rate, " his intention by abscntng
himself without leaving word for any ono to a
reconsideration CT the the report OF the Rail
rrad Committee was TO the defeat OF the bill
that night, nc has signally failed. II Is now too
late for an entirely bill to be introduced
which would he effective for instance the proposed

road Committee il could not be considered unless Ivy

ron now pending concurrng in IT Is carried tho good
features of tho Bcrgh bill be offered in the shape of
amendments, or the bill itself be offered as sub
