TIIE SENATE PASSES THE AQUEDUCT DILLS. TUE DEBATE AND TUE VOTES ON THE CROWS AND RAMAPO MEASURES-REJECTING A MOIION FOR I?*? J REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OP THE TRIBUNE.! AlBANY May l.-The Crotou Aqueduct bill has been rushed through the Senate. Ten minutes after tl-ia waa done the Kamapo Aqueduct scheme was also ????I Ni by the Senate. After only an hours de? bate the City of New-York had imposed npon it an e-tpenditure of at least $30,000,000. This action ?was taken in the face of an appeal by one of New York's Senators, Mr. Boyd, for a postponement of a List vote on the bills till after the citizens' meetiug in New-York to-night. Four Republicans, Senators Holmes, McArthur, McCarthy and Thomas, voted for the Crotou Aqueduct bill on its linal passatre and against the motion to delay action on tin*, bill till to-morrow. On the other hand, Senators Jacobs and Titus, of the Democratic majority, Bided Senator Boyd in his efforts to delay the pass? age of the bill. Before the Senato met tho Committee on Cities had been hard at work on the Croton Aqueduct bill. O. B. Pott** and William Dowd were present as Mayor Edson's representa? tives. Mr. Potter afterward said I " We persuaded the commune to amend the bill by adding to it all the Mayor's amendments with two exceptions. These exceptions are: first jth.tt Ihe C > n:-iisinners are ?named in tho bill; and secondly Ihat tho removals and appointments of tho citizen members of the .Aqueduct Commission arc haMBftet to bo made by the Governor. Our amendment provided that remo? vals should he made by tue Supremo Court and appointments by the Mayor. But they would not accept this amendment; nor that authorizing the Mayor to nominate four citizen members." Ex Mayor Cooper, who was also present in the C >:n mittee room, corroborated Mr. Potter's statement, lie said, however, that there was a single amend? ment adopted which was not iu tho Mayor'** MIL lt is au amendment of Section 30 and is an follows, the new portion hiing in brackets: The work and materials called for hy said commet Khali bi-done ami fiiriiUinU under lin* direction nnd xiii-er ? to the inspection of tn* said aqueduct ririmi!.-?-i<iiier?. their enifiut-,n, reperrlaon eil"!

Wheu thc lull was called BBBBtQt Gi adv Mid thai the Committee on Cities had found that the powers of the Aqueduct Commissioners wero not equally distributed, and they had amended lhe hill in this respect, mi as to give all th" Commissioners equal pBWBBSn This waa a roundabout way of saying that Commissioner Thompson had been given tho lion's share of power and had bo?n deprived of it. Senator Boyd Bald th it it Was the d. sir.* ol evt ry citizen of New-York that an aqueiuct bill should be p.iSH"d this MBaiOB ; but they desired BB I BBBMBBMi T! ? y hal began to think also that th*y Lad better take measures in their own hand-*. They would hold a great mass-meeting in New-York to? night to express their sentiments on tho Aquaduct bill. Tne Senate ought to wait until to-morrow and leam what they do. He would Iheirfore move that the bill be laid aside until the Senator* hail beard the views of the citizBBS. Senator Grady opposed auy paBtpOMBMBt ht BO* thoa on the bill, s'.atmi that thc only difference be? tween the Bl-uatiirs and tao citizens of New-York who were about to hold a nit tiing was that the Committee on Cities named the Aqueduct Commis? sioners, whereas tho citizen* deairad Um Mayor to name them. The. bill as amended embodied BTW v fealurc of the Mayor's except in two pu mui a: s : (1) that Commissioners were named, (2) that the re? moving power was placed in tho hands of the Gov? ernor instead ol the Supreme Court. Senator Boyd said that the -Mating at the Cooper Institute woubl bo in relation to tiiis very nutter ot tlie ina;im r of appointing tho Commission. The Senators ought tulay the bi'l aside nil to? morrow. He would like tu inform the S,?time that the Board of Underwrit-rs protested against Um ie fluctitin of the number ol citiz-n eommiaaionen from four to three. ii. ?? amend* inents atlopt.d in the committee inun.
