ITEoM HE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF The TRIBUNE.
AGBANY Jan. G--Thc Legislature apparently has
little fear Of the Charter Commission before its eyes,
judging from the rush Of bills here and coming 10
rcorganize and rc-rcorganze the act Inch reorgaH-
lied the local government Of the City Of New-lork.
The most important If those introduced in the As
scmbly this morning was that of Mr. Fish
Of Putnam, which derived its chief import
ance from the fact that a few moments
aicr. its sponsor was announced AZ
the head II the Committee Cities. This bin re-
ates solely TO official salaries, and fixes them at tho
following figures For the Mayor, $4,000; Con-
troller, $4,000; President Of the Board of Alder
men, 81, OOO Counsel 10 the Corporation, $4,000 /;
Commissioner of Public Works, IS, 900; President
Of the Board of Police, 50 900; each of the other
Commissioners of Police, 5000; President of tho
Department of Public Parks. $1,000 President of
the Fire Department, $1,000; each of the other
Commissioners of the Fire Department. $1,000
President OF the Department of Public Charities and
Correction, - 600 each Of the other Commission
crs of the Department. $1,000 Presidents of the
Departments of Health, Taxes and Assessments and
Docks, $1,000 each; 10 the other Commissioners OF
the Departments of Health, and Taxes and Assess
missioncrs of Docks, $1,000; the Superintendent of
Buildings, 5000.
As n specimen of the intelects which are now put
at the service of the State at the rate of ~ 800
year, il may be well enough to quote the bill i'll
troduccd to-day by Mr. Joseph p. Fallon Of New
York:
All laborcrs employed by the Mayor, Aldermen. and
CoIumoualLy OF tie city of York, or by any de-
partmcnt bureuX thereof shall be paid a I'm form
rate of said compensation 10 he fixed aud
determined by the Board of Aldermen OF the City OF
Ncw-YOrk at rate not less than " per day.
Mr.. Muller and Mr.. Gavin of New-York introduced
bills with the design, but had sufficient good
sense TO set the limit above which the wages
should not go, and not to name rate which they
should not fall below. Mr. StIahan introduced
bill rauc ing the rate of interest Of taxes
and assessments from twelve per cent to seven. Mr.
Schellcn introduced bill providing that the "act
provide for the better of pauper and destitute
children" shall not apply 10 the City and County of
New-York. This bill is designed to arrest the dis
tribution Of children who would otherwise 90 To the
Chdren's Nursery Blackwelrs Island among
asylums and other institutions where they are
heavier charge upon the State. When tho bill was
under discussion in the last Legislature il stated
that il was intended 10 pauper children from
the demoralizing influences of the county poor
houses, under which they almost invariably matured
int riminas or drOnes.

WASHINGTON.
THE SENATE DEBATING FINANCE.

DEBAl1NG f1NANCE.
AN EAGER But GooD-rEMPERED DIscUssIoS-Is
THE CURRENCY PARTY QUESTION f-sENAToR
SHERMAN EXPECTS LARGE SURPLUS REvENUEs.
lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNEI
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Finance is already under
consideration in the Senate, and five hours wero
spent to-day that subject. Mr.. Morrill, Of YER
mont delivered his carefully prepared speech, occu-
plying two honIs time, and then to show how eager
the Senators are TO begin the discussion, spirited
and interesting debate arose on a simple motion to
refer Mr.. Morr1lPs legal-tender redemption bill to
the Finance Commit O.. This debate showed that
at least three financial speeches are already pre-
pared, namely, one each by Mr. Bogy, Mr.. Bayard,
and Mr. Eaton; and the drift of the speeches seemed
to be not so much to gain light on the currency
question as To draw party lines.
Mr.. Eaton thought that finance should not be a
party question, but common cause for the benefit
of the country. To this Mr.. Edmunds retorted,
that the Democrats have made it q party question
since 1869; the Resumption act passed last Winter
did not receive single Democratic vote. Mr.. Thur
man then came TO the rescue of Mr.. Eaton, and
called attention to the factthat the in question
prepared in q Republican caucus, from which
Democrats were excluded, and that it was rushed
through both houses without debate or a chance
for amendment.
The discussion was goodhumOred in tho extreme,
and many excellent hits made on either side Of
the Chambet The innationists neither side, ex-
cept Mr.. Bogy, took part; but the Democrats all
held that there is surplus revenue and that there
is not likely to be any. Senator Sherman said the
surplus for the year is ten more mIOns; that
next year. with only cutting and pairing here and
there, it may be twenty millions and the year after
forty millions. Mr. Morrill, took occasion TO tell Mr.
Bogy that the finance question would be uppermost
all Winter long, and that there cause for pre-
cipltatiou now.

Washing Muslin Dresses.

Muslin dresses even of the most deli.
cate colors, can be cleaned in ten min.
utes or quarter of an hour, without
losing their color. Melt half q pound of
soap in gallon of water; empty it in a
washing-tub; place near two other large
tubs of clean water, and stir it into one
quart of bran. Put the muslin in the
soap; turn it over and knead it few
minutes; squeeze it out well but do not
wiring it lest it get torn; rinse it about
quickly in the bran for couple of min
utes; rinse again we'll for couple of
minutes in clean water; squeeze out
dry. and hang it between two lines. A
clear dry day should be chosen to wash
muslin dresses. Half a dozen may be
done in this way in half an hour. The
last rinse may be prepared in the same
way as the rinses for wooden fabrics. A
colored pattern OH white ground must
not be blued. The bran may here be
dispensed with. When the dress is dry,
make the starch; for colored muslin,
white starch and unboiled, but made
with boiling water is best for muslin
dresses. Stir the starch with the end of
a WAX candle; dip the dress; hang it
again to dry. when dry, rinse it quick
ly and thoroughly in clear water; hang
it dry again; sprinkle and roll it up,
sfterward iron it with hot irons. Hot
irons keep the starch stiff. This rinsing
after starching is called clear starching;
none of the stiffness but much of the I'm.
sightliness, of the starch is removed in
this vav.
