Albany, May 4.--Assemblyman Morgan became
greatly excited to-day, In the Assembly, over bill
OF his allowing New. York company the right TO run
surface railroad through Twenty-sevonth and Twenty
eighthsts., in that city. The bill came up In It's
regular order and Mr. Hamilton moved to send 1t back
to the cea,mIttee with instructions to amend II.
This made judge Margan angry. and he accused Mr.
Hamilton OF tiying TO Kali the bill because he owned
property In those strnois, which would DO Injured
should tho btu become law @The property was LEFT
To him By his ancestors" sst the Judge, and II no
should lose II he would have TO shift for HIMSELF
Mr. Hamilton said that he owned property in those
streets, but that the OF his antagonsm
to the measure Many other people who own property
In these streets also against allowing railroad
to pass through them This arnendmen. to the bill
he also wanted stricken out or changed.
Such books Of with proofs to cost Of con-
structon and the expenses OF operating railroad may
be submitted by the corporation operating using such
railroad TO the Commissioners Of the Sinking Fund or
other officers authorized ty Inv receive percentages paid
under the provisions OF this act and It shall appear TO
them thereby that in and by the actual operation Of such
railroad such percentage Is unjust unreasonable and I'm
practicable of payment such commission other officers
shall have power to revise correct and reduce such per-
ceniage to fair equitable and amount and
such revision correction and reduction when submitted to
and confirmed by the General Term OF the Supreme Court
shall supersee and take the place Of the percentage az
which such sale made, and shall be the rate Of com
pensaon percentage be paid enforceable thereafter
under the provisions Of this act
Mr.. Crosby did not Like the way that Mr. Morgan
had acted in his attack on Mr. Hamilton, and he
said:
Mr.. Speaker. do cents about this BILL
but when the gentleman iiom the With District tMr
Morgan gets and attacks the gentleman from the xIh
(Mr Hsmilton) I cannot be silent 1t has been the
Of thQ NJ hat
have attempted to and guard the interests OF the
City OF NewYork that they have objected to bad legisla
ion and fIcd TO further good legislation. The gentle
from tho XIth District (Mr. Hamlon has sustained
that tradition honorably and we'll The gentleman from
tho With District Mr Morgan) has not sustained that
tradition. HIS bins general rule have been JOB
lot Of claim bills that have been gathered from the port
folios OF the members years he has
the purpose Of increasing saaries He ia perfectly
worthless member and for him get up and attack the
member from the xIth IL absurd
In reply to this Mr.. Morgan made these remarks
/ am delighted with the consideration OF the member
from the xxIss tMr. Crosby. I en- glad indeed-snd
trust that will be put upon the public records Of the
Assembiy-to know that have been attacked by the
member from the XXIst 1 reyel in the sunlight Of
confidence In which that gentleman enter The
gentleman from the XXIst who claims 10 be the clean
cut member Of the representatives, from the City OF New
York, had not the confidence Of his own district
until he went Police Department ana asked the
police help him through and the majority OF 135
revel sir majority OF the highest member OF any
Republican district the City OF New-York revel In
800 majority and paid one penny to get It, and
never applied to any policeman 10 assist me. That Is
my record Mr.. Speaker. Now. with that leave that
member alone. He is to my mind simply beneath che
contempt OF decent honest man. 30 far az the gentle
nan from the XIth concerned have some respect for
him / recognize his personal interest. aud simply
told the in regard to this matter and never de-.
racted from his character nor honesty OF purpose and
that cannot say for the member from the XAIs@ L
know him too we'll And therefore do not want 70
speak about Il. 1 spew him out OF my mouth.
Mr.. Hamilton's motion carried, however, and
this win practically XIII the BILL because 1t will
hardly get out In time to be acted upon.
1t was noticeable that Mr.. Morgan was somewhat
cxhilarated all the morning and obstrepefOuS
as to be frequently the occasion Of decidedly uncom-
pmentary remarks from his friends
