The CITY of New York has occupied far more
than its share of Legislative time. Except the Regis
hy Law, which was proposed early n the session,
and finally killed by veto, add possibly the Har-
Dor Encroacbment BILL the honest portion OF the
people of the City asked for no special leeslsti IN
for this locality. Yet there has been constantly
1T the Capitol one Of the most numerous aud uu-
scrupuleas lokbes that ever haunted Legislature,
nearly all of them haliog from this City, aud all
ferociou. for some pet scheme of political or Pecu-
mary plumber IL is fortunate that the Press has
closely watched them, aud, backed by the people,
spplied such pressure that the Senator's and AS
sembl, men dared not lend themselves to their
peInicious schemes. The new Charter including
the Police disOrga nizing BILL the Broadway Rail
road, and the HtllGate enterprise, are all dead,
as they deserve to be. The bill returning foreign
psupers and criminals was also lost, more for
wan. of time to perfect it than otherwise. Among
the local bills that went through We notice that
concerning Harbor EncrOscbments, by which five
ConmisaoIe rs are TO be appointed to tn exterior
pier lines, and report to the Legs azure such
matters as they may deem important to the Hir-
Dor An act providing for the better regulation of
the Nen York Firemen provides for the election
of i've Commissioners of exempt fremen, who
shall investigate applications for the organization
Of companies look into complaints, ard make
rules and regulations The Common Council are to
pass laws to prevent all persons excep! fremen
or policemen from approaching the vicinity Of
fires. We have a very necessary act authorizing
eur Common Couacil to take testimony, compel
the attendance of witnesses, and do other things
Necessary in conducting Investigations. Another
act provides for increasing the supply of CrOton
water by laying large main through the Eighth
sv., and by lowering the grade in the Fifthsv.
Builders must hereafter properly protect excava-
tiops, and secure adjoining buildings at their own
expense. In actions for forfeited recogbizancss
the Cityis hereafter not to be charged for costsor
fees The bill regulating the number of ballot
boxes, prescribing the order of canvassing, and
directing the inspectors to proclaim the result Of
each box as soon as known, We think is law,
though We do not recognize its title. Our Super
yisOrs have been authorized to fix the salaries of
Judicial officers aud certain efforts in that line of
lest year are lsgalized IL order to prevent treas
pas upon fields near the City, all captains of ex-
curtiOn boats are hereafter to make record Of
the names and residences OF people going on pic
MICS or other ftolics. We have q ne y Gas Com
