NEW YORK. The annual session of the 

 Legislature of New York, for 1871, began at 

 Albany on the 3d of January, and continued 

 with brief intermissions until April 21st. Dur 

 lag that time 1,352 bills were introduced, and 

 1,226 were reported from the various commit- 



tees. Of these, 1,302 reached a third reading, 

 but only 807 passed. Upward of 150, in- 

 cluding a large number for the incorporation 

 of savings-banks and trust companies, were 

 vetoed by the Governor. A contested election 

 case, which occupied considerable attention in

 trict of New York City, in which Horatio N. 

 Twombly contested the right of John Carey 

 to hold the seat, on the ground of frauds prac- 

 tised in securing the election. There were two 

 reports on the subject from the Committee on 

 Privileges and Elections^ The majority re- 

 ported, as the result of their investigation, that 

 Mr. Twombly had received 1,984 votes, and
