Albany. June s.-Govcrnor Hill suddenly laAj
this evening decided to make public his final
action upon the bills left in his hands by the
Legislature Yesterday it was stated at the Ex-
ecutive Chamber that the report would not he
disclosed before Monday. in accordance with the
custom of past years. The New-Yorlz public will
be glad to hear, nevertheless, twenty-four hours
earlier than they have expected, the fate of tho
important New-York bills left in the Governors
hands. Among the chief bills which the Gov
has left unsigned and thus indirectly vetoed
is the Gable Railway Companys bill, giving that
corporation seventy miles Of the streets Of New
York. Many people in and ont Of Albany who
have received stock for using their influence in
favor Of this infamous measure will feel that they
have been swindled in two directions.
Then, also, despite enormous political pressure.
the Governor found it impossible for him to sign
John OBriens bill to give the suits Of the Aque-
duct contractors of Ncw-YOrk the preference on
the calendars of New-York courts.
The Governor also vetoed Senator Ivess bill
for raising the bridge Of the New-IOrk Central
Railroad Company spanning tie Harlem River, and
compelling the raising of the tracks in Harlem. II

have had TO eXpcnd 81 100000 upon the improve

road with the New-lorlI Central al the Grand
Central Depot Assemblyman Cornell's bill for

Island, which may be considered a New-York
measure also vetoed. The Governor also felt
compelled 10 veto Assembyman Martins bill for
the erection of gigantic soldiers and sailors

ninth-st. The Governor appends a memorandum
10 this bill which is obviously intended for the
eyes of the leaders of Tammany Hall, and assures
them in advance that no rapid-transit commission

authorities of New-Yorl to reduce, if they should
deem it just. the percenta ages which the street
railway companies have promised to pay for the
use of their franchises. This would have been

rejoice that the Governor vetoed the act.
