1>U. MORGAN DOES Not DENY IT.
The Rev. Pr. Morgan, when he wai pen at
hia home at ?a ? East Forty-flfth-at.. by ?
Tribune reporter yesterday, made no attempt to
conceal the fad thai he had made us? of the
?ermon of the lit-? Dr. Putnam, but he asid
"1 dictated the termo-i, which I preached on
Raster morning;, after carefully reading the eer?
mon which had ?.? published That waa con?
trary to my usual cuat< m. bat I was worn out
and exhausted bv mv labors during Holy Week
and r d<d'not have the time to prepare an origi?
nal sermon. 1 vr> much regret that the aer
m.'n was published In The Press.' Cleigymen
sometime? have t< take Ideas fmm published
w .tits, but this is th.? ti;-?!t time ! ever made
use of a previously published sermon in that
way."
"How did The Press* ?>?? such nn accurate
report of the sermon which you preached?"
th?? reporter Inquired.
"My secretary, to whom I dictated thi sermon,
furnished a copy t.> the newspaper," ?as the
reply.
"Was that lone without your ronrent?"
?'I consented that a report of the sermon
should be tent b) her; nut I underst.? that
onlv a summary would be published "

ASPr.Mnt.YMEN RECORDED AGAINST IT?
THE DILL NOW GO^S TO MAYOR
STRONG FOR APPROVAL.
Albany, April 7 (Special).?Another cf the
great mcntMircs of the year va.? disposed of by
the Legislature this morning, when the Assem?
bly, by a vote of 8S to 43. passed the New-York
School Reform bill. Th? vote by which the
measure was passed was on party lines, with the.
exception of two negative votes east by Messrs.
Aiiler ani On-gory Republican*, 0? New-York.
Th? hill now gO?fl to Mayor Strong.
In anticipation of a long debate, the Assembly
rr.et this ? .rnlng at 10 o'clock, ?nd a little later
It took the bill un 1er consideration. The Tam?
many members, who In both 1 ranches of the
Legislature have atrenuously opposed the mea*?
lire, as it la + blow at the patronage Tammany
Hnll derives from the present tmstee system,
ai i| ted their usual dilatory tactics of offering
nirendment after amendment only to have them
rejected as regularly as they were submitted.
Ea^h amendment Introduce 1 ?fforded Its In
troducer an opportunity for ? ?peach, and nono
of these opportunities were neglected by the op?
ponents of the MIL
One of th? most Interesting inciderti of ?h*
debate was the reading by Mr Stanchfleld, who
made the principal epee^h for the opposition, of
a letter received by him frnn Mr*. Elward
Lauterhach, wife of th? chairman of the Re?
publican County Committee of New-York, urg
? lng Mm to make an appeal for a further hearinf
1 on the bill on behalf of the citizens of New
\ York. Mr. Stanchfleld made the appeal which,
while cjeflci'ent In argument. dlJ not Ivk In
' oratorical groe?, ar.1 the Assembly rejected It.
j One of the most Interested listeners of the speech
of Mr. Stanchfleld was Mrs. Leuterbach. It I?
worthy of note in connection with the letter
r.ad by the Ira 1er of the minority that the fa-?*
Of Mr*. MortOCt'S l..t?rest In th? success of th?
bill Is as well known as Is the o-,.position of Mrs
Lauterbach and the passage of the hill mcy he
tak?n as a signal victory of the wife of the
Q v-rnor over the wife of the New-York leader.
MR. O'ORADY'S ELOQUENT APPEAL?
The debate on the bill was closed by Mr.
O'Grady. the Repuollcan letter, and the speech
In which he naked support for the bill was one
of th? clearest and most logical addresses heard
on the floor of th? House during the present
session, it Is acknowledged by both RepuhUcaae
and Democrats that M-. 0*Grady in his speech
of to-lay eclipsed his prev.jus efforts.
In answer to the arguments put forward by
the opposition that tiu. passavie of this hill waa
to satisfy a society fad, Mr. O'Grady cited the
fact of the unanimous approval of the bill by
th? press of New-York City. He paid a glowing
tribute to the press as a register of public opin?
ion ani referred to several "lit-rials which hai
appeared In The New-York T*Ihune In advocacy
of the bill. He also defended the action of the
Governor In submitting a message fa vorab!?
to the Mil. Mr. Stanchfleld had assorted that
this act on the part of the Governor was without
| precedent. Mr. O'Orady pointed out to Mr.
Stanchfleld that his "patron saint," ex-Governor
? Hill, pet formed similar acts on several occasiona
I during his term of office.
THE FIRST AMENDMENT.
When the bill was called up thia morning the
first amendment offered was hy Mr. Davidson,
providing that ?he ou.-stlon of the advisability
of the bill shou! I be submitted to a vote of the
people. Mr. Davidson regretted, he said, that
the bi'l had not beep recommitted to the Cities
Commi::? > for a h-arlnc The bill was not
wanted by the city of New-York. The people
there had met In mass-meeting and denoun ?? 1
it. It was promulgated by aristocratie people
who knew nothing of the deslr??? of the masses.
Mr. Trainor supported the Davidson referen?
dum amendment The bill, he said, was In the
intere*: of the aristocracy of New-York city,
who did not allow their children to mlnglo
with those of the common people, but sent them
to preparatory schools. The tul, be said, legis?
lated ?gainst the nonni: school girl or boy, and
thus the Legislatur? proposed to ignore the
verj people they had educated. Those who
had advised the Governor to recommend the
paesane .if the bill before the lions?? had con?
sidered it had used the Governor a.-, a tool.
"The gentleman is out of order and unpar?
liamentary in his speech regarding the Gov?
ernor," Interrupted the Speaker.
Mr. Trainor apologized for bla language, and
?tated that. In referring to th? Governor, he
had not meant that the Governor had been
used ae a tool.
FINN TUEN? REFORMER.
An amendment was tr.cn offered'hy Mr. Finn,
who ask.d f.. r th" attention of the Civil Ser?
vice reformers while it was read. It provided
that the proposed Superintendent and Assistant
Superintendent should pas? competitive ex?
aminations, th" examinations to be conducted
by professore of the Normal College and the
College of th? City of New-York.
H. T. Andrews favored the till, and oppose^
the amendments. The bill h- declared, would
elimina*'? politics from the school system.
T. F. Donnelly opposed the bill because of the
ah-litlon of Ward Tr?U?s\ An attempt had
been made, he said, to depict the Trustee ?s a
politician who generally atood In ftont of his
favorite saloon with a weed stuck In his mouth
at an angle of forty-five legrees. An attempt
bad aleo been made to prove that the teach?r
whom the Trustees appointed was of a similar
calibre. This was unjust and wrong. The
Trustee and tbOM*Maned by him wire the beat
class of citizens. Never did thry use their office?
for personal ends.
It would be difficult to find one teacher in New
Y. rk City, Mr. Kempner asserted, who opposed
the present school system or wanted a change.
It was inadvisable for the bill to be passe 1 now,
os the cons ?Illation of Brooklyn and New-York
would soon make necessary a chcr.ge in the
school svstem.
An argument for the bill was made by Mr.
Lalmbeer. The schi ol system, he said, was now
run by a elione of politician? who did ss they
?.-i?.? line?te', fr oui Tammany Hall. Mr Lalmbeer
narrated his UMIK cessful attempt to be made
a School Trustee, and explained that his failure
W?a due to the fact 'hat he was not politically
affiliated with th? echool powers.
?is one of those who had received a public
school education In N*W-Yorfc? Mr. Gr.-en opposed
the measure
Mr. Austin eaid he proposed amendment of
Mr Davidson would make the bill unconstitu?
tional The Civil Servie? amendment had been
Introduced, not to improve the bill, but to kill It
if possible Mr. Austin bad not been born In
New-York, he said, but he would place his
knowledge of what was wanted In New-York
City against that of any member from Tam?
many Hall. The papers in the big city favored
the measure, and the people wanted reform In
the school system Several item* from papers
favoring the bill were then read by Mr. Austin.
? What a spectacle we beheld to-day." said
Mr. Butti In his speech. Republican? had been
Instructed to vote for the bill and there waa
little doubt tha. they would be controlled by the
