It la not to be expected that they Trill fir only craal -satisfaction, for it la inevitable that ha such a sat1r there should always be more or ktss of personal and political disappointment. The tret tiling to be looked at by the Speaker, in making base appointments, is, ef course, the efficiency and Integrity of public bastnes the second is the proper -djaetaeai of political claims, and the last ia the oatlafaetkm of personal wishes and aspirations on the part of members and their friends. The Speaker had ae gTeat advantage la the present case, as he had net -yremiaed a single position on any committee to any body either in the House, or out of it, so that be was left perfectly free to do whatever his sense of justice tad propriety might dictate.

Ia regard to the political distribution of the honors end responsibility of legislation, I think it will be eaaoeded that he has acted with fairness to all par-' ties. He had throe parties of his own majority to 'look after, beside bis opponents proper. These were, tret, the Republicans, next the Republican Unionists, and then the Democrats who have been acting wttk the others since the Union Convention at 8yra" erase. To the latter Mr. Ratmosb has given two of the most Important Chairmanships in the House Horn.

Lxauxi Ststsox of Clinton, being Chairman of the Judiciary, and Hon. Daxjcs Oodxk, of Yates, of Canals. Mr. Sfxrsos has perhaps scon more public service than any other member of the Assembly, ex- eept possibly Judge Paineis. of Genesee.

He has been a member of Assembly tliree terms, has been a member of Congress, and was the candidate of bis party for Comptroller a few years since. He is universally known as an upright and patriotic clti- aaa. His associates on thjb Judiciary Committee are all osa of ability and character. Mr. WsTiaspav, of Is a young lawier of ability and promise aad was a member of the same Committee last year! lir.

Taact has similar qualifications, and will very rapidly make up for his comparative lack of experience. Unless I am mistaken, he will be one of the aaertaseful and influential! members of the Assembly Sir. Baatlbct, of Broome cjountjr, Is a law yer of char' acter and position, and Is a special political and per- aonal friend, as well as law-partner, ol Hon. D. 8.

Picuancs. Mr. Shsewooi), of Steuben, is a young man of decided ability of great Industry and fidelity. Tour City Is represented by Mr, a young and promising lawyer lnTryon-row, whose ambition is parely professional, and who promises to win distinction at the bar to all practical Intents, by C. 1m BsasDicr, of Kings County, whose practice la mainly ia your Admiralty Courts, where: he stands among the foremost.

He is a nephew and law-part- jserot Mr. E. C. Bsssdict, whose treatise on adml-Talty law is well known to the profession. Mr.

Oops, of the Canal was formerly Canal Appraiser, aad subsequently went as Coiiul to under aa appointment from President Fitacs. He has excellent abilities, a good deal of ambition, and stands high In the confidence of his political friends. The. other members of the Cannl Committee represent the diflerent interests of the Erta, Champlaln, Chemung, Chenango and Genesee Valley Canals, ia their respective localities. I The Comwiittrt on CUtrt, in widen your people hare a larger interest than in any other, has been made up a with primary and paramount reference to entire lt freedom of Its members from even the suspicion of being accessible to any other influences than those which consult the public good.

There was a very strong pressure on behalf of several memlers of the Mew-York delegation for places on this Committee, Sir. Enaoan Joats, of the Twelfth Ward, being more aamestly urged than any other member, Mr. Jones tutmt rreat famlllarirv with Cltv legislation, and Is a gentleman of abllitr. agreeable manners and of (., excellent character. He Is, however, Printer to the Corporation, and has thus an official connection -with the City Government, aDd has claims also pending against the City Treasury for some $70,00 lor extra printing, which the Comptroller has dls allowed.

While there Is no reason Jo siippose that these considerations would exert any undue hi' luence upon his action, it was felt that they might be ao misrepresented as to weaken public confidence In the Committee and put Mr. Jobss himself in a false position before the public. He has a place upon one the most important Committees of the Legislature M' at the present time, in which, moreever, i your City kui very great interest, that of Militia and Public Defence. The Chairman of the Committee on Cities is Hon, Bijij. Faaou, of Genesee, who has served two terms la Congress, Is a lawyer of distinction in his own sec.

tloa, and a man of unspotted and unsuspected purity Of character. Mr. Hosatio Sstmocb, of Buffalo, who is also a member of it, la a lawyer of a man of prominence and influence lu the Democratic arty having been its candidate for Speaker and of high-toned character. Mr. Halsst, of Cayuga, Is ope ef the most sagacious, clear-headed and upright of tha new members, a man of excellent business habits aad of Independent position und Mr.

Fcltok, of Saratoga, adds to these merits the additional qualUica- Hon of haying hd considerable cxperltnre In the Legislature. He has been a member for two years previous, and served with high honor on several lead-Has; Committees. Mr. Pitss A. Pocrsa, of Niagara, well known in New-York, as well as at home, as a i gentleman of the highest character, of so indepen- dent fortune, and, thoagh new to public life, aecsed of ability to win distinction in any sphere.

From New-York, Mr. Cobmsoto has receivevt the appointment He Is a son of JoaTaa I. Cobdik.to, formerly Postmaster of Nw-York is a lawyer by protesslon, and a gentleman of high character and of independent circumstances, llehax aa acnte mind, bJgh eultiratlon, and a dlstOiitlon to take an active part public allalrs. He 4s a Tammany Democrat, I and will protect the interests of his part)- far as vigilance end energy can do it, but will io nothing, aader any tentations, inconsistent wi'Jisuict li.u j-2 xlty and honor. He will be found Utterly ifincrej-siKe i to any schemes for plundering th City, and will warmly aid any judicious reforms tltat may be taken.

Paovixjr, aXter realinj the report, sId I do no! thick, Mr. Speaker, that a debate of that rircwr should rest wilh. ml some a. oa' as art of the llnie. I ther-fore ez the following resoiutivn Wkr-lts, la -onof the Board of Aldermen ef the fKty of New-Tork.

cTtia crave statements mace, embodyii-g iinftitations aj-iunst tUe lr.tKgrltk kf Ue lat mL piesext Legislature there-tore. Restlri. That a Select Committee of ave be ap-polotedjto ir.eslite urii charges, with full power to send tor persona and paper. Mr. liovtSAt.

dil aot iipoe any gentleman from New-York wouia pay any attention to what Aiirmaa Bx.Csv or 'gratify him by the notice of a Special Committee of this House. Mr. rra oppoel the rwolutifa-- tad seen these icvew-gationi. and deemed it be liMta Wie rrharacter ami itigoiiy of the Legislature to investigate sich charges. Mr.

JrtiSS'ja said It has ot to Te the conrktkm very may mea of judgrsveat aad sense in the State New-Ybrk to betievc that our democratic instltutioas have bejrome almost a berlesque and if those en-tertainitig that opinion could become members of mis.Leilalatare.or could hang around the precincts of this Legislature during one aeslon, I Jo not know ,7 nut iity would rasunoa lb rsuenaming uuu otnjoi 1 as can sit here aad eatertaia any asore lnrpcrtasa matter tnaa taai bow oeiora wf I ask if an the bills pat together that aavo yet beea introduced eaa be of such moment aa ine grave maoer wnicn lies at ute oonom 01 au oar wit: legislatiselntegrityT I appeal to sua Honor, the Speaker himself, to say ne na not been regarded as having disgraced himsolf ia becoro wnn mcmoeroi ids oi ovw-York. and If ha has not been compelled to defend aimselt Irowt the caarsw of having consented to be come a member of the Assembly Even humble as 1 am, aave been called on to apologise xwetvo months ago for accepting the position of a member of tha Legislature of this Stale. This is all wrong. Forty yeara ago it was regarded as an aonor to be a member 01 ine ami the records of our fathers and gtwnd fathers, no filled that honorable position, have been banded down from generation to generation as a remembrance to be treasured up and esteemed by thetr successors. I say once for alt, that now to be a member of the Mate Legislature, is an impeachment of a man's standard of r.onety.

I ssk, then, if any more important matter can be before us than a question which aflects the honor and integrity of the body of which we are members, and which seeks to investigate an open cnarge of corruption. I admit that trie mere idle talk and insinuations we hear day by day are not worthy our consideration. But when the anger is put on a speciue act wten the consideration ia specified when the actual occurrence is referred to then it becomes another affair, a vastly diflerent matter. 1 can say from my own belief, that I fear these charges affecting the last Legislature, are too true, and that it was bought up. Any man who is intimate with the lobbvean see the record of those who were bribed on the floor, and of the still larger number of those who, like the harlot who sells her charms in the market, obtained seats on this floor to make a traffic of their virtue.

1 say this is the day and the hour to take hold of this subject, because now we have the time and opportunity to investigate it, which we shall not have later hi the session, and because vastly important matters are coming up, not one of which you will be able to pass if the power behind the throne, greater than the throne itself? says it eh all not pass. And I tell the inexperienced member that we cannot help passing one, if the power behind the throne says it shall be passed. I have just as good an opinion of this Legislature as of any other, but I say here in my place that we are but the registrars of the doings of the lobby. 1 say, then, let us suppress tills evil, if It ne in our power to do so, at once. When a member from Kings (Mr.

Mo-Mcllis) introduced a resolution, some days aro, to Inquire ii.to the proceedings of a certain Boardthe State Military Board I heard around me the whisper, That must be voted down:" But, Sir, let not such advice prevail. Let us investigate thUmat'cr, and let us act the same with all other matters, whether affecting high places or low. Let us see what this Alderman has to say, and let us hear all men alike in similar cases, whether friends or foes. After debate by Messrs. Stxtson.

Pxisolx, Smith aad Oobkh, tha resolution was amended so as to refer the subject to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, Instead of a Special Committee, and then adopted. Ayes, 119 Nays, 3 Messrs. Boan, Cowlis and Smith. There was a long discussion on the resolution not to pay extra compensation to the officers of the House. It was opposed by Mr.

A regular meeting of this Board was held last evening, the President in the Chair. Printed copies of the annual report of S.

S. Ram. ball, the City Superintendent of Public School, (presented at the last meeting of ldl,) ere distrib uted to the Board. The report gives a gratifying re Mwnt of the condition of the Public Schools, and of their operations during the pat year. Notwitlistand ing, says the Superintendent, "the immensely in creased expenditure necessary to the fitting out, sup porting and maintaining of upwards of forty regi ments of armed troop and the care and support of their families at home.

$1,500,000 hns been expended In the support of our Public Schools, and nearly an equal amount has been raised for t'leir maintenance during the ensuing year. 620,000 have been paid to the teachers, male and female, who have conducted the operations of these school; 76,000 for school apparatus, and for buihiine, remodeling; and furnishing school-houses, and upwards of for the support of the numerous Evening the Free Academy, the incidental exponas of the Bonrd of Education, and the salaries of its officers. One hundred and sixty thousand children, between the axes of 4 and SI, have boen under instruction for a irreater or less period during the year, in the several public and day schools, exceeding by netirly 12.000 uie nuniocr muiu uurmx inc preceding vear wntle in the 40 evening schools, to tight during a period of itve months, from 15,000 to 20,000 pupiiS were under Instruction. The average daily attendance of pupils in me several aay scnoois, tiring me year, was upward of exceeding by nearly the average of the preceding-year aud in the evening- schools tlds average amounted to about 10,000. Scven'i-in hundred teachers, about 1.000 of whom were fcmnlos, have been in daily attendance upon these schools, and a large proportion of them have been engaged in the tuition of the evening schools.

What a striking rontrast to the condition of afl'uirs in this repeet i.i presented by the infatuated poop'e ho have luted up their parricidal hands against the sacred ark of the Unlan Not content ith sweeping away every vestige of public education existing within their boundaries, and confiscating the funds heretofore devoled to Hs support, they have ignoniinlously and bsrbnrously exjxlled from their Confederacy every Northern teacher suspected ol the slightest degree of patriotism, and of attachment to the Union, and have publicly denounced the entire system of free public instruction as utterly and radically at variance with the institutions ai.dttie Government which they ek to establish, as an interferer.ee with the rights of the owners of wealth, and as a sinister and unjustifiable means of undermining the foundations which alone, in their jurmenf, society can be bastd. However applicable these conclusions aiid results may be to the frame-work of Southern institutions, as modified and developed by recent experience has not so instructed the loyal States ol the North and they will be slow to exchange their tried and cherished system of Free Schools and universal cuueation, even under the heaviest burdens of a desolating civil war, for the narrow and aristocratic policy which would conitne the blessings of education to the sons and daughters of luxury and ealth. The report refers to the discontinuance by the Board of the Normal and favors Hie project of a High School for girls, with a Normal Department connected therewith for the education of teachers, as a subs'Jlate for the old Normal Schools. The Committee on the Free Academy presented a report; sc. companied by a resolution, to memorialize the Legislature for an appropriation of $100,000 for the construction of a fire-proof library for the Academy.

A petition was presented from P. H. Vernon, scttlnjt forth that rudimental schools had been established at Fort Monroe, Hatteras ami, Port Royal, for gtvins instruction to contrabands vho Lad been deserted by rebel masters, and asking the Board for a donation of such books as were of no further use for the public schools of this Citv. Several me 11.be rs objected to the petition, and a motion was made to lay it on the table, hich as lost, 26 nays to 10ay. Mr." Tvcxsa was surprised that any member of the Board should object to giving away the old books that were of no further use to the schools, for so praiseworthy an object, and he declared that if the Board rejected the petition be would pay for 'M the books required out ot his own pocket.

Mr. Robinson, Mr. Davenport, Mr. Farr and Mr. MacKean advocated granting the petition, and Mr.

McCarthy and Mr. Ol P. Smith opised it. The petition wxs finally referred to the Committee on Repairs aud Supplies'. After disposing of some other papers, the Board adjourned to (lie first ednesday iu 1'e ternary.

While meetings in the surrounding cities and towns have Indorsed the action of the Sigel Committee acting here, the German Societies of this City have partaken energetically in the work.

The Social Reform Verein met last evening at No 261 Grand-street, and appointed a committee, and re solved to attend the Cooper Institute to-night in a body. The jNew-Yorker General Singing Union, at Nos. 156 and 160 Hester-street, took similar action. The Melomanen Singing Club and the Concordia Association foj the relief of the sick, met at Frederick's, No. 94 Essex-street, and determined formally to participate.

At all these meetings, as in the Gen. Stud Committee, tho dispatch which appeared in some of the City papers yesterday contradicting the statements lately made relative to Gen. Sioxl's resignation, was vehemently: denounced as a trick to divide and defeat Cermuh sentiment cn a point which they claim touches the patriotism and honor of adopted citizen The Mgel Executive Cowtmirtcc.

A lively debate arose, during which the course of certain journals in publishing and indorsing dispatch purporting to coatru-th-t the report of (Jen. resignation in disiiiistwas warmly reprobated. While Skisl's own nearest relatives and contidcntinl friends In this City knmo all the fact in the cae, th publication referred to could only be regarded as a fresh attempt to divide and emharrass German senti-meut. This attempt, it was declarl, would utterly fail. It was only an additional affront.

The inclemency of the weather prevents the attendance of a large audience at the Cooper Insti-fite, last evening, on the occasion of the lectin of William Davis, the contraband. Those who did, however, were amply repaid, as well by the matter of the address as by the attendant embellishments of vocal and instrumental music. Mrs. Pasxjioust at the piano, the Waters vocalists In several patriotic sonxs, and Mr. Rosiunot in a solo, drew considerable applause.

Rev, Mr. Locxwoon, of Fortress Monroe, previous to the lecture, made a statement of the condition of the contrabands," which had collected at that post. He described the efforts of the released slaves to acquire Iknowlcdge, their eagerness to legalize their parental! relations by embracing the institution of marriage, which had been denied them in bondage, and thevgtberal improvement in tl.iir condition.

It had been thought best that one of them should come North as a representative.

He worked at arming, and served as a sort of tier fence, keeping the cattle from getting into the corn.

They often forgot to give him meat, but they never forgot blm ben he let the cows get in the corn. (Laughter. When he got to be thirteen years of age be got tired of being whipped, and rebelled against the overseer. But that overseer was turned away, and the next overseer was worse. (Laughter.

Finally, the overseer struck one of the darkies, and the darkey jumped for blm, and he jumped away from the darkey. For himself, his master took a liking to him because i he -said he would not let anyone strike his master. He was promoted to do work about tho bouse, aad fiaally made head over tho rest of the hands. And then tne hands foaa4 fault with him, and said be was worse than the overseer. Laughter.

Next year, however, they took more land. The boys felt free, and did more work than ever, and had more time than ever for themselves.

Tho heirs put his flocks ia their pockets, but it tore his heart when they put his dear little children in their pockets. Sensation. He had five children in the hands of the Secessionists, and his nusiuess here was to try and get the ladies and gentlemen to think of these things, lie bad coma through what Mr.

I.ocxwoob called the bole that Gabjusgn knocked into Slavery. Laughter. The lawyers got his mopcy. his wife was sold, and five out of his seven children were gone- He ed them, would they not, like Moses, say, let tlie people go The speaker gave a most inimitable and unreporta-ble description of his lee'ings on being shaved bv a white barber, and said, On, Lord, if tS-is is what freedom does, give as freedom all the time." This, and his energetic illustration of the bustle, and hurry, and industry of the North, as cor.trsstcd with tlie lassitude of the South, brought down tha house in roars of laughter and rounds o( applause. He said that the arming of the slaves, an i their fighting against the North, was done solely on corn pulsion.

It was jnst as slaves were often made to fill the place of the whipping-master. The North was losing its cause because it would not avail itself of the efforts of those who would go forth conquering and to conquer, applause but, if they would not let tlie nlsyers light, would they not let them go (Cries of Yes. yes." He stood before them their slave the slave of the Government would they let them go Cries of He spoke of the advantages of education to the slave, and the eagerness with which the contraband children learned. They thought It was so much like the way master's children used to be treated that they believed they were getting- white. He described his feellnes at the exercises of the contraband" children near Fortress Monroe, in terms of not only impressive; feeling, but in many cases, of real eloquence.

He compared the scenes of the last New-Year's day with that of the previous New-Year, when he was present at the hiring and sale of slaves and one of them his own child I The Southerners said, let Slavery alone and it will die out" Yes, but when? When the Southerners themselves die out ves, when the South was desd. Applause. For himself, he was 47 years of age, and was considered as worth $1,600. When a slave was sold he brought $100 or $-200 more If he was a good Christian Selling the grace of God But he rejoiced in God that there was a day when they would be released from the yoke of Slavery a day in the distant future. In conclusion be reiterated his hope that the Government would let the people go." After a statement by Mr.
