In closing his remarks on the extra
session of the New York legislature,
the editor of the New York Tribune
makes use Of the following language:
Zone OF these days, it will begin to
be suspected that q man may be quite
shrewd horse7jockey or serviceable
tapster without being exactly the man
for a law-maker. 1t may come to be
asked whether an ambitious youth who
never spent a single day in studying
and rejecting on the principles of Leg
islature is fit to make laws, merely be-
cause he is sin with the keepers Of two
or three popular grog'shops, and SC
is sure to put through his ticket at 4
primary meeting. 1t may even b.
suspected that the State cannot afforC
to take the greenest sort Of apprentices
10 the law-making business, even a
the low price Of SO per day. W.
know such day is yet at a distance il
the future; but this Albany dodge has
brought it much nearer than it seemed
week ago. Work and wait"
