Ipr TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD I

ALBANY, Ja1 15, 1871
The House had brisk session OF about an hour this
evening; General Spnola the spcuous feature
OF the proceeding. He moved that his resolution Of
ered several days ago concerning the reduction of the
debt OF city New York be referred TO the Com.
mittcc on the whole. Avord objected to such refer
being out OF the regular order OF dong things,
and oved to amend by referring ii to the Committee
on Cities Other amendments sought TO have It
to the committees Judiciary and General Laws,
bu; through all Spinola amed for his original
reference till the House down HIM by sending II
10 the Committee on Cities Again the irrepressble
war horse OF Tammany Hall made his voice heard,
when the House in Committee OF the Whole, by
proclaming that there was no quorum, and
quenty legitimate business could be
transacted. Hustled motaphorcally picked up
and threw the burly Spnola every time
he tackled him on a parliamentary point until tho
doughty General bruised all and rather an OBJ
ject Of merry dcrsion to the House Members shook
their heads and thought If this thing is to continue
times In the Assembly must finally grow red hot, and
the farce of The Devil to Pay at the Turnpike Cato"
will be totally cclipscd.
