ALBANY, April 28.-1he Assembly to-day
concurred in the Senate amendment to
the final adjournment resolution fixing
sthe date for next Thursday mt noon. Mr..
Moreland moved to take the resolution
tabled Yesterday from the table, and the
motion was carried by a vote OF SO to 90,
Then the resolution was concurred IN
by the same vote, so that the Legislature
viii positively adjourn sine die on next
Thursday at noon.
Despite tine strong reasons against their
rassage both houses Of the Legislature
to-day passed over the veto of the Mayor
of Ogdensburg the two ripper bills intro
duced by Senator George X. Malby. Inc
bills seek TO make it impossible for the
Democrats ever to get control Of that city
as they have now.
The vetoed bills were returned to the
Senate to-day and senator Mnlby lost
no time in having them passed in the
Senate. II was known that the Mayor
had written Il message explaining why
he had disapproved Of tho bills, but very
strangely the Senate clerk did not read
the message But the strangest procedure
OF ali vas that when the bills were sent
Ito the Assembly from the Senate desk
the veto message did not accompany the
bills. This was unusual enough to excite
comment. While the bills were passed
by a party vo.c. Senators Elsberg and
Armstrong refused to be a party to such
/ contemplate Doti,ics when the bills we're
taken VI in the Senate. In the Assembly,
however, the only Republican to vote against
the bills was AssombIyman Winter
It is believed thnt Gov. Higgins will veto
the bills, for the party leaders cannot see
how he can lend himself to the scheme OF a
man who a few months ago in quoted inter-
views was rowling and ridicullng the Gov
ernor. These leader" also recall the dlSas-
trous effects that efforts to usurp the powers
Of home rule have had in the past. They

the people to have a voice as to the time IN
which elections shall be held are not allowed
to be in the interests of the party in the
State at large, and il IL said that senator
Malby only wants to serve a personal inter-
est in having the time of election changed.
In his message to the Legislature the
Mayor Of OEdcnsh,rg sad:
