THE STATE CAPITAL.
Eepublican Gerrymandering in the
Apportionment Bill.
INJUSTICE TO THE RURAL DEMOCRACY.
Half a Million Appropriated for
the New Capitol.
A VETO tXDER A MISAPPREHENSION.
Albany. May 21. 1ST7.
The galleries of the Assembly Chamber were tilled to
overflowing with "unemployed workinginen" when
the session opened this aiiernoon, but as a lorcc <>t
police wore close at band no trouble was anticipated.
Mr. AlTortl, after the reading of the journal, said that,
at the request ol some of his democratic friends, he
moved thai ibo Apportionment bill be made a special
order lor lo-tuorrow morning. Tbia waa carried, and
Air. Alvord slated that the bill would have beeu con
sidered last week, but the delay was occasioned by the
democrats, and not by the repuolleuns, us has been
charged. There Is every probability that there will
be a bitter light over the question of apportion
ment from tbo lact that general dissatisfaction
prevails among bom parlies. Kvory member, of
course, supposes ibai, once electod to iho Assembly, he
possesses a lilo tcuuro of ortlce, and any attempt to
tnterlerc with the i'odunk or Hquodunk district, as the
case may he, Is au outr igo of Iho most flagrant char
acter. Opinions aro very much at varmuco, too, as to
the wisdom ol the policy of passing an apportionment
bill at all. Woodin's Is so framed that, while It has
Iho appearance of oqmtablo treatment of New York
and Brooklyn, It would be uext to au Impossibility lor
a democratic bcuator 10 be returned west of
the Uudaou Kivcr. Hradley's and Hlarbuck's districts
are hopelessly loaded down, and It U thought ihui
Loumis' and l.atnout's districts are so arranged as to
So secure tor the republioans. This makes a loss ol
tour democratic riouutors in tbo country, ns many il
?ot mors than would be gained ID New Vork or lJrook
lyn. ten*tor Scboonmukor said to me to-day, In speak
ing of the bill, that he thought "Woodin had ai
tempied to do justice to the cities and defeat iho
democratic party )u the State, and has succeeded."
THK CAPITOL APPBOPRJ.rriO.V.
When the bill appropriating f&OO 000 for the new
Uapllol, $100,000 for the Buffalo Mate Asylum and
$JM),ouO lor the Ludson Hlver Hospital waa annouuued
from the Senate Air. Alvord moved that It l>e ordered
to a third reading. Ho said that arrangements had
Been made that $400,000 ol the hull million should ho
devoted to day's work on the Capitol. He trusted that
there would he no objections to giving unanimous
consent to ordering iho bill lo a third reading.
ql SSTIUNS OP PHIVi/.SIIKS.
At this point ilr. Chiids stood up to a question ot
privilege and repudiated the statement in ?n Albany
paper ihst he bad attended a workingman's meeting
?Iter Iho voto ol the Supply bill and said ho was nut ol
ireoru with ino Governor. Ho then proceeded lo duny
s serios ol other statements iu tbs Albany papers that
bo promised lo override the Governor's veto and after
ward voted the other way. lie said that, on the con
trary, wniio he was in sympathy with iho working
nnn ho was not propared to may the rdlt ot the dema
gogue.
Mr. Kcelesino also ross to a question of privilege, and
laid that he would not be buil-ilosed by any statements
nude in regard to his motives in voting on the Capitol
? .li. lie would vole as his judgment and conscience
tlotaicd.
Mr. Alvord Insisted upon his motion that tho bill bo
ordered to u (bird reading, whon Mr. .Spinoiu objected
uo ois uu amendment he waa preparing was put in.
Alvord immediately made a parliamentary tiuuk
movement, to the grout umuretnenl of the repub
licans, scO Mr. spuiola was knocked out ol time.
The prcv.otis question was called lor, and some ol the
Opmocrats who voted last Friday against the motion
to override the Governor's veto hud u perplexing time
making explanations, because the republican* evi
dently hud iho msldu track aud the applause of tbo
tiiqb on their aids. Air. Honliun felt tho embarrass
ment of the siiuaiion and declined lo vote, but, the
tinuso refusing to oxouae him, he volod in the neg

In tbe Senate this evening rtonator Danden'a bill to
ilit upon gas in the large oltles of tbe State was con
udorcd in a facetious manner in Committee ol tbo
A'hoio, aud was altogether as entertaining as a rariety
iliow. Senator Baaden urged his bill wun much more
ilcerneas of statement and expression than lie waa
srcditcd wit It being capable of, but the Senators were
letcrmined io have some fun at bis cxpenso, aud they
sad It. As for hia bill, nobody could tell si bat It looxed
.Ike or wnore it stood.
TUK MKT KliCO I. IT All ItSALTII ACT.
Wben tbe farcical debate ended the Governor sont In
two vet nee to the senate, one of which was founded on
a mistake. It was the vutouf a bill o. Senator i'riuce'a,
repealing that part of tbo Metropolitan Health net
of 18?? relating to tbe towns of flushing, Newtown
and Jamaica. It tr several years since tbe ant creat
ing a Metropolitan Homlli District, taking in Hlcbmoud,
Kings and pari of Quocns counties, was repealed, but
by an oversight tbo towns named were not included id
tbe repeal. Although ibeir sanitary aOairs have been
attended to by the local authorities, atill the acteol
Ibase authorities were all Illegal on account ol the
bluuder referred lo, and tbe object of Mr. Prince's
bill was lo obvtato this aud rosloro the towns to ihctr
normal status. Tbe Governor must have been under
the Impression that the Metropolitan Health District I
act wss still uuropealed.

regretted that His Kxeelleucy bad not followod the
ordinary rule ol intimating to the introducer ol a bill
his intention of vetoing It. He rouid huvo satisfied
him Iu a moment tint the bill should bocomo

trict was repealed long ago, so far as it related
to Kings, Hlclimond and Westchester counties.
This haw not boon generally known, and Hoards of
Health acting under It huve been acting illegally.
There ean lie no vory good reason why that law, so lar

[From the London Daily Newe correspondence.]
Ualats, o* the Daxubk, May 2, 187T.
The country between Paskany andJassy Is oloeker,
less lerilis and Ism nicinrosqne than IB tbo valley of
ibe Seroth, and tbe villages am inllnitoly more squalid.
Indeed a village bares bonis seems 10 be a fortuitous
congeries ol wattled wigwams, stack anywhere about
the surface of a bags layer of dnng, and tno contrast
between one? pcrbupe the most ultra squalid-and tne
labored ornament and bisb finish of the boyard's
chateau closo by, was. I fear, but a microcosm of
tbo stute of the rural portion ol tbe Principalities.
Women crept out ol what seemed boles In the
ground, for no side walls wars visible under the
low pitched roots, and stood in their forlorn
dingy tattors to siaro blankly at the passing tram,
and aloth and aluttfchnces bad set their unmistakable
stamp on lbs hamlets. Between Paskany and Jaesy
no soldiers were seen marching by road, tbe routes of
tne marching men lying further to tbe southward, so
avoiding tbe right-angled ddiour which tbe main road
makes by touching Puskany. At a station called Podul
lloii we passod a stationary tolegrapb train, louan
with operatives and apparatus, which had Bent out
working parties along the line to overhaul the tel
egraph wires and make good all defects. Tbey seem
a thorough people, these Russians, going ubout tbo
task they have set themselves tn a steudy, deliberate,
systematic way that argues elear heads and ample
preparation. At and about Roman wero many soldiers,
and another military train was hulled lu the sluing
thore for the mull to pass on tbo single line. At Pas
kany, an hour forthor on. there is a bifurcation, tho
I.amberg-Czora'owitE line, due north, the line lor J assy
striking away to the wostward.
A FHF.TTY VALLUV.
Between Roman and Bukau the Seretb Valley widens
greatly, and tho soensry becomee rather plclurecqua
A plateau, in fact, uncrossed on either side, occuplos
tho bosom of tho valley, uud along this plateau runs
the railway, while tho seone Is closed In ou either side
by tho low, gently sloping ridges which bouud tho
valley on the oast and west. Tho soil 19 obviously
very fertile, and nearly overy aero ta under cultiva
tion. The industry of the poasautry is Intense; It Is
a pity that their ploughing Is not n little deeper.
The villages are etnbowerod in whlto blossoming
lrult trees, and the folk make clean at least me
outside of the platter by painting the exteriors
of tbotr houses a dazzling white or a psle dellcate blue.
The Holds, which ate uoenclosed, are of huge size, und
in one a ooupla ol dozen leums. oxou in the truoea,
pomes as leaders, may be soeu ploughing; in the next,
a fur reaching line of sowtug, tuoviug forward ubreast
fo open order1! The more one sees of tbo Principalities
too more clearly Is It apparent that if their uuauoos
are in an unsatisfactory condition it is from no laok of
natural woalth and terttlity ol production in tho soil.
SuS.ches of the Seretb Valley reminded me o. Kest
Lothian, and In Ftfobhire loamy land such as tho ux
ploughs wore ecrutching in tbo lower slopes would
letch a rental ol t'i au acre.
TRACKS or THK TABBING STORM.
The agricultural work was going on steadily and
stolidly to rather an uuwented acooiupautmcnt?the
tramp of soldiers and ibo neigh ot the war horse.
The smoko of tho blvouucs rose Irom the shellerod
hollows ou the slopes, and the road, running almost
parallel with tho railway, wasdoitud with detaohmeuta
^ troops on the ma roll' Uero and there ou the lea
holds was a place where tho flro trenches and dishev
elled straw showed there had lately been a camp or a
bivouac, and Ibe.a la several cases were oir the roads
homo dutanco, for tbo whole stretch of valley, fairly
level uubroken by ditcucs, and quite unenclosed, is
nerle'cilv practicable lor cavalry, and, Indeed, Inlantry
might wo l wlsh tbey never should have any worse
marching ground. The roads ol Moldavia are admira
ble- oulte as geod as our macadamized roads, which
they resomihie, and .be bridge, on them, sou.o uece.
asnly of great sizo, are noatiy and strongly constructed
ol iroD.
rUBHIXO Til* TBOOFB FORWARD.
Tho train by wbiob I travelled passed along the
lower Seretb Valley in darkness, aud there being no
uoMtblluy of seeing anything, 1 utilized the time by ,
sleeping indusiriouety. When 1 uwoke It was broad
daylight, tno sun was shining bright aud warm, and ;
the train wiis joggiug along the western margin ol a
broad valley In which thero was visible grcat tt-rUllty,
uoi much inundation. At Bakau we ?nooa"ltc"lJ1
tlrst military train, halted to allow the post train to
pass which has the preuedenca according to the con- ,
Won The vans o'r care were so crammed wi h so -
?i.nie ihnr are marked to contain lorty each?that It i
was matter for bewilderment liow the large contingent
Tramping up aud 'down the olnilortu to go tho
iuflfooM out or them couhf be accommodated.
Hut thev squeezed in somehow, no doubt,
uud without a word ol grumblo, lor
the Russian aoldler, so far a-s I 'lu*"
seen of him, is the moat docile and good humorod of
follows, and not only may a child pleywlth him, bu i
ho will pluy with a child whenever he can get ho

ainn soldier not only salutes bis officer, hut looks as if

the sulute punctiliously, but looks as il It **rc

emtio along tn lonso order, straggling all over tne
chauatdc, at a pace of oloso on four mile* an hour?a
long, dogged, atoady irarnp. eluinay to look at, but
unueniahiy lusting. Iho r.iuk una lilo in but few
caeca were tall men. bat were burly, square-set fellow*,
broad in tbe shoulder*, deap In tbr cneat, hut olean in
the flanks, aa 1 have noticed most Hussion* are. They
wore a kepi ul French shape, blue with red baud
round It, blue tonic, longer mid looser in the skirts
than our* or the i.crmau nunc, and had
thoir loose bluo trousers shoved into lung
boon reaching over the calf of the lug
qutio up to the kueo. The knapsack was ol tho
Herman pattern, neallkID with Ibe hair li t on, badly
carried or cross beita over the ches,. I hu rtllo was the
llcrdan, und the rriou marched with fixed bayonets,
although they carried bayonet .-enbhurds. The Kus
siun lufitnlrymau carries uo awori, aa dort me
Gorman comrade. Hi* belts are ul olaek leather
and eo be eecapee being a chronic victim to
pin eel ay. The fen/* d'u/m' was carried in throe
pieces, and every uian carried his own kotllu on ibe
back of Ins knapsack. A certain proportion ol tbe men
carried entrenching tools, and nearly evury ooo bad
aoiuo extra weight dangling about bim. One a pair of
new boo!* strapped ou his knapsuck, another a liuudl*
coin.lining who knows what? A third a billet of wood
lor the camp fire, and so on. They curried ihnlr heavy
brown great coats rolled over the loll shoulder, In ihn
sumo manner the Hermans do ibtlrs. The doiai hmont
had inarched some llfieen in ilea in heavy marching
order, aa 1 have described, with three days' ra
tion* In Iboir haversacks, and not a m?a had
fallen out. I.orU Aihciuarlu saya that in bie
hiich'a campaign every Russian olflcer had his ou
leciiio, and journeyed luxuriously. Kacli baiiallon was
followed by two large wagons, drawn by lout horse*
harnessed abreast, containing the baggage of tho oill
cers. There was an nmhuluiico wagou, or rather a
carriage, conveying tho battalion surgeons' stores,
ins.lrunionis and' medical appliances, a couple of loragn
carls, and this was all the Ira n of two battalion*
marching to commence a campaign that, put the lltna
ns low as you will, must he measured by month*. Of
course 1 dou't include ammunition wagons In the
train in tbl* sense. Tho men looked Ipird, brown und
bcaliby. A? they swung along with those great strides
of theirs they made light of their heavy kit, and snug
with wondnriul lusie and great vivacity. In fine, 1
never saw soldiers in boiler condition and bettor heart
for the varied phut-en ol a campaign?(lurching, cam
paingniug and lighting.
