ALBANY, April 10, 1878.
The disputes between tho two democratic factions
Of New York city represented at Albany threaten 10
perplex the deliberations OF this ssiature quite
much as those Of former Legislatures per-
verted by them. rammany and anttTammany
strive for the mastery, the difference
between the struggle and the struggles
In former years being that each side endeavors 10 do
good instead Of evil TO the taxpayers and tho
most good politically instead oil pecuniarily Tor II
self. Each side hard to secure tho alliance OF
republicans and country democrats Last week Mr..
Fish and Mr. found with Mr.. Avord. and Mr..
l. l. Hayes In company with Mr. Brooks Mr.. Grady and
the Tammany members in the vote the Public Bur-
dcns biL bill which Mr. Fish was induced at the last
moment to substitute Tor tho original Salaries bill In
his charge The Public Burdens bill has snce
got a black eye. This week Mr.. Fish, Mr.. Aston
and other republicans dad themselves cordially
voting with Mr.. Daily, Mr. Fitzgerald and
other ant -rammany members In favor OF the Croton
Water bill, measure advocated by the Comm ssioner
oil Public Works ana decidedly opposed by Mr. Kelly.
Mr. Aivord sim sticks Tammany. being disposed 10
advocate home rule for New York repre-
scented by the Board OF Estimate and Apporton.
mont MT Fish seems now inclined TO dispel
the notion that he IL affiliated with either
unto OF the common political enemy. He took pains
to-day explain himself 70 this effect, ana IL is pre-
sumcd that whom tina amended Public Burdens bill re-
turns to the Assembly from the Senate, the Chairman
u the Committee on Cities will not be unwilling TO
consider II In guise.
In a despatch last week which summarized and re.
riewed the most important New York bills passed
pending the Assembly and their way 10 the SEN
Alto IL was intimated that all or most OF
them would DO subjected TO jealous scru-
tiny ana considerable amendment THIS view
Is sustained by Tho activity Of both the
friends and opponents OF bills and by .he
pressions Of Senators and members OF the lowor
House. The Public Burdens bill, the Finance bill, tho
Bonded Indebtedness bill and the Dock Department
bill have all to gaDtet OF uncertainty, IN which
zach is likely to receive excavations more or less
severe.
