sCITY REFORM,

The bill reported by our City Delegation to
the Assembly has passed that branch un-
amended but we trust it cannot so pass the
Senate. We stated on its presentation that it
was defective. and will here indicate some of
its more glaring vices:
/. II does not concede to our citizens speedy
radiance Of their present disgraccful Common
Council, whom they are heartily sick of and
wish to supersede. This bill keeps them all
in Office till next January, in spite of their ex-
posture and the Indictment Of part of them.
2. 1t provides for a Special Election TO pass
upon the Amended Charter, not in April or
May, when our citizens are all at home, but
in august when twO.thirds of the Taxpayers
are usually absent. The object OF this can
hardly be mistaken. 1t means that the Alder
men and their dependents shall have the game
in their own hands If not, why not wait till
September
g. 1t foists the Mayor into the Board of
Aims House Governors, thus destroying the
Political equilibrium which is vital element
of the constitution of that Board and making it
a party engine and its trusts the Spells of
Victory When the Wings were in power
they voluntarily shared with their opponents
the government and patronage of the Aims
House Department, dividing its Offices, which
we're previously theirs alone; and it would be
alike unjust and uDgenerous for their adverse
ries now that the power has reverted to them,
to destroy this adjustment and eject the Wings
still employed in this Department.
There are other objections to the City
Delegations prclect-one of which (the crea-
ton of four new Municipal Judges We have
already indicated. Our City prays for deliver
ance from oppressive taxation and plumber
and, instead of the bread she Graves this stone
of useless and expensive Offices is thrust upon
her. Will not the Senate do something for her
relief

THE MAINE LAW AT ALBANY.

We believe this day has been designated in
either branch of our Legislature for the con-
siderstion of the bill reported TO each by the
appropriate Committee, in accordance with
the views of the friends Of Temperance, and
designed to put an end to the legalized Liquor
Traffic.
We do not expect much from our present
Legislature, and therefore IRE quite unlikely
to be disappointed. III we ssk is straight
forward, manly show Of hands. Debate is a
manifest futiliry, for every Member knOws
whether he is for or against the principle of
Prohibition, and that is the matter in issue.
Fifty speeches would not probably change q
vote, and there is now no time remaining for
speeches, as but = week of the Session
remains.
Gentlemen Of both Houses be good enough
to toe the mark Do not evsde the question
do not wrigele out of your seats when il
comes up. Just give US each your Yea or
Nay on the principle of Prohibition, and You
shall have our thanks. We viii trust the
People for all that should follow.

Justify his caution is nearly al in the hands OF
the Bank and its special friends; they would
have had ample opportunity TO shuttle aud
cover up by that time; the plaintiffs lawyers
would be eloquent in depicting the atrocity OF
bis publication and the eRormity Of the damage
iphicted-the Judge would charge, as judges
almost always do charge, strongly on that side
for the Bench hates an outspeaking Press
and the defendant might consider himself lucky
ifhe got of wish $1,000 damages Even were
the Bank to fail during the tendency of these
proceedings that fact would be quite as likely
to apgrayate as to mitigate the verdict; for
the publication would be represented as the
cause of the catastrophe it foreboded.
We do not believe Mr. Thompson has ever
undertaken to give his readers timely warning
of every Bank explosion likely to occur; If he
did. be has undertaken difficult and danger
ous lob. which we advise him TO abandon as
soon as possible And if our correspondent
imagines that he can, BY taking any Bankers
Journal be forewarned against all Bank taa-
ures, be will yet wake up and find himself
mistaken.
The efectual remedies against such explo-
sions as those of the Woodbury. aud Eastern
Banks are /. Free Banking, with ample Stock
security rigidly exacted for every note issued.
.. The confinement of the circulation of all
Bank Notes good or bad, to the section where
in the issuing Banks respectively are located.
and where the character Of their managers
may be known The simple fact that two new
Connecticut Banks were vomiting their issues,
no matter by what proxy, in Wisconsin, should
have suficed 10 condemn them. That was man.
ifestly no legitimate Banking operation, but
some hitting, shinplsstering process, sure to
end in blow-up. Our correspondent will
probably be wiser if not richer next time. Ed.

CONNECTICUT.

In the good old days Of slow and steady To-
comotion, we used to collect and receive the
Connecticut Election Returns by Horse Ex-
presses and always had them in season TO let our
readers know the result Of said Election the
morning after its occurrence. Since Tele-
graphs came in fashion, and we have been
within three minutes hail of nearly every
County, we have never once had the luck to be
able to announce decisively the result Of
State election in Connecticut the morning
after it's occurrence Either the wires are
down. or the weather is unfavorable, LAS yes
terdsy) or some other botheration interferes,
to prevent our receiving dispatches as we
should.
In the present case, we can better afford TO
wait than almost ever before. We know the
voters did not nearly all turn ont and face the
chilly, rainy North Easter of yesterday-we
can guess which side mainly staid at home.
The Wings were in disorder or paralysis, and
the rampant Democracy was stimulated
to energy by the yet undivided Spells
in immediate prospect and had the mighty
Rum power at its back. We consider
the State gone as last year, Gov. Seymour
and bis colleagues on the State Ticket re-
elected by the People, MessrS. Pratt, Seymour,
IDgersoll and Belcher elected to Congress,
with Democratic and anti-Temperance ma
jority in either House Of the Legislature. If
the returns should afford US any improvement
on this prospect, we shall consider it just so
much clear gain.
So o'clock A. M-We have actually a
couple of dispatches from New.Haven They
do not differ from our anticipations, except
that they show the strength of the cause of
Liquor Prohibition with the People more
clearly than we had hoped. Connecticut, dis
entangled from the meshes Of sterile and out
worn craftsmanship would give decided ma
jority for the Maine Law this day. Gentlemen
of the new Legislature dare you trust that
question to direct vote Of the People

r. II has been reported that the rafters pre-
pared for the Crystal Palace at Reservoir
square, had proved on trial to be too short, and
that the completion Of the edifce must accord
ingly be delayed for new ones TO be made We
learn on inquiry, at the Office of the Company,
that this report is entirely false, and that no
such cause of delay exists. The Directors
are straining every nerve to get the exhibition
open in May, but the novel character of the
building renders its construction comparatively
difficult, so that il will not be possible TO have
it finished on the day first appointed. Still the
delay will not be great, and we are assured
that at all events the opening may be expected
by the first Of June. From this, one great
advantage will be derived, namely, that the
Exhibition will be more complete and splen-
did than it could be made at the earlier date
at which it was first proposed TO open it,
