ADJOURNMENT.

By "a joint Resolution of both Houses, tie
General Assembly has fixed upon the lst day
of next month. May as day to terminate
the present session. -Four entire months will
have been given to the session and the peo-
pie expect, and rightly too, something of a
beni6cial character, as a result of such an eI-
penditure of time and money. How far they
will realize their wishes, will not be hard to
conjecture, il the remaining three weeks of the
session be spent like those which preceded.
The heaviest and most important part of the
business, requisite, is yet to he transacted ;
and no doubt in the hurry to finish up business,
many things will be left undone, which ought
to have been done.
Among the most prominent of the things
which should occupy the particular attention of
the Legislature is retrenchment and reform"
in the management Of the Public Works. Such
measures should be adopted in relation to
them, as to secure a just and faithful Report
from the hands Of the officers in charge-not
to leave the revenues of our Canals and other
public works fortwenty months to come, to the
caprice of those who use them for party ag-
grandizement-wh for the ostensible purpose
Of misleading the Legislature and deceiving the
people, made up their their accounts on the
l5th of November, and then, between that
time and the date of the publication of the
Report, January lst, drew from the Treasury,
more than $1O7, 900 to be lavished on some
particular party pets, but fOrthe specific Resolu-
tons calling for the information, neither the
Legislature nor the people could have any
means of knowing for two years to come !
While the revenues OF the Pulic Works Of the
State are in the hands of such swindling
scamps, the peoples Representatives should
look well to the public :" "Safes;' and adopt
such regulations relative to them as will secure
sufficient check THERE
This, in our opinion, is PRACTICAL retrench-
ment. But. whether there will be any system
Of policy adopted by which the faith of the
State shall be vindcated, as well as the bur-
dens upon the people materially lightened, be-
fore the adjournment is rather uncertain., Ey,
cry thing that tended to retrenchment, has been
put down by this NOTORIOUS body, and it is not

Retrenchment and Reform. .

A bill was introduced a few days since by
Gen. Eckley, in the House of Representatives
to reduce the salaries Of Executive and Judi,
cial officers, members of the Legislature, &c,
which was opposed by Mr.. Gross, of Hamilton
who expressed himself not only in opposition
to the bill, but hoped that members would moi
suffer waste of time in the discussion of any
such proposition If salaries were interfered
with at all, he Mr.. c. was in favor of increas-
ing them. Of course, no waste of time could
be possible, while considering Mr.. C's. sugges-
ton Gen. Eckley wished to reduce the pay
of members to So day; Governor and Judg-
es of Supreme Court to Sl5Oo; State EngIn'
eer to $500, &c. By this bill, over 100000
dollars in salaries is proposed to be reduced =
OF course, this would lessen the State taxes II
that proportion. MIR. @. was in favor Of S6''
900 per annumn for Governor, S8 per day to
members of the legislature. and the salaries Of
other officers in proportion. No retrenchment,
no relief, may be expected from the present le'
pislature. The bill was defeated, and we are
curious to know in what manner the members
who voted for its reception. will answer to theiI
constituents, for so plain a dereliction of duty

That too, while the receipts have been di-
minishing. The salaries Of engineers, &c.,
have increased in the same proportion.
There are matters connected with the powers
possessed by the Board that should not be
overlooked by the Legislature. They may OF
they may not have had considerable to do with
swelling the expenditures to the enormous sum
they have reached.
The Board have the power TO lOwgssnd in
crease salaries at their pleasure. llesy ap.
point and dismiss their employees at pleasure
Where salaries are not fxed by law. but tneil
amount are made to depend on the win Of the
employer, and the funds out of which they are
paid raised from the public. any one can see
the power thus held by the Board over the Col
leetOrs, Inspectors, Engineers and others In
their employ. H..s
The Public Works traverse majority of the
eighy-eight counties of the State. and it is vel
known fact that the power and influence Of thu
Board have been exerted to retain the contro
of conventions and the Legislature for the pur
pose of securing the election of their own par
tiCular friends,
1t has been claimed for the Board that it car
nominate and elect whom it pleases, Shat by
its organization and control over its employees
and power to make appointments, it can pro
cure the election of delegates to nominating
Conventions, and secure the nomination anC
election of members of the Legislature. Tha
it has not succeeded always to its wish. was
not, we apprehend, for the want of having
made the effort to accomplish its desires.
When we consider, too, the additional fac
that the individual members Of the Board have
the control each of five thousand dollars of {
contingent secret service fund, for the expend
ture of which no vouchers are required, we
cannot but urge upon the Legislature to pro
vide by law some restraint on the Board in the
matter OF appointments, salaries and the use o.
their contingent fund. Senators and Represe IT
atives can see in what is daily and nightly oc
curing about them, in regard to the United
States Senator about to be elected, that the
Board are playing part by no means calcua
ted to quiet the fears Of the people, or satisfy
the public mind with a continuation of the ex
ercises of the powers it now possesses. When
body, with the powers and influence posses
sed by the Board Of Public Works, enters &C.
lively into the political field, to control the nom-
nations and elections Of the Democratic party,
it is the bounded duty of the Legislature to
place such checks upon its expenditure Of the
public funds and its appointments, as well as
I The paying of salaries, as is compatible with the
public interests and the purity of elections.

expected that any thing Of salutary nature
viii receive attention at this late hour Of The
session.
Notwithstanding the cry for relief has gone
up from almost every township of the State,
yet no relief came. Our t,1es have been
vastly increased-the Public Works have been
plundered--tbe faith 9fgthe. State violated )
but they care not for all these. The taxes OF
1853 have been increased over those of 1859,
to the amount of s2149,470. .Y0 how in
different they are about the peoples interest.
What will be the state Of things if this pecu-

without consulting any newspaper information.
