SMALL PoTAToEs.-Our present Legislature is
engaged in little the smallest business that
any deliberative body ever yet was caught in
1t seems that some Of the small potato lawyers
that infest the purlieus of our courts, have
found fault with our county clerk and register
for charging fees for their services, and 80 have
made this the groundwork of an attack on these
officers, alleging they exact illegal fees. Now,
instead of suing these gentlemen for their extor-
ton, If they are guilty of any, and getting them
indicted, too, as they may do, by the revised
statutes, they set up howl in the shape of a
petition to the legislature to abolish their fees
altogether. The Legislature being nearly all
elected out of Office, of course feel somewhat
wolfish, and are disposed to vent their i'll feeling
ON some body This petition affording fine
opportunity, these officers are selected as their
first victims, and forthwith bill is reported in
the Senate to take away their fees from them,
and give them to the poverty stricken city of
New York, whose resources will thereby be in
creased the enormous amount OF some few hun
dred dollars year! The bill is passed in hot
haste, and sent 10 the House, where it sticks,
and we hope--for the honor Of the State-it will
continue to stick, till doomsday. This bill was
intended to finish our city officers; but wishing
to make large hill of small potatoes, another
bill is reported in the Senate to use up the coun-
try county officers also. We understand, how
ever, that the wings in the House, not wishing
to have anything to do with such dirty bust
ness, have united with a portion of the demo-
Gratis to put veto on the whole affair.
Verify, this is small potato concern for the
legislature of the great State Of New York !!
cutting up the two-and-sixpenny offices Of the
poor fellows who have worked and toiled for
wears, and made all kinds of sacrifices for their
party! As to Conner and Osgood, we right
eously believe, if the fees of their offices should
be increased four fold, it would not reimburse
them what they have spent for their party. And
yet their own party strikes the first blow. The
Commissioners of Practice and Of the Code will
report to the legislature shortly and, in all pro-
liability will upset the whole system ofpractice
and pleading as it at present exists. Then will
be the time to pass laws to regulate the fees Of
county clerks. Agitating the subject now seems
like petty personal attack. So, gentlemen le-
gislators, if you wish to be considered fair and
sensible men, don't do any thing at present but;
just wait until the commissioners send in their
reports.
