Legislation I'm New York.

Among the doings of the hundred DAYS SEES
sion, the Albany Argus recalls the following:
First and foremost, the reelection of Mr.
Seward to the United States Senate. Second
y, and in course, as if part of the programme
and In consideration of Mr.. Stewards new lease
OF ottice-the passage Of the prohibitory liquor
law. Thirdly, and per contra, the church
property bill. Fourthly, the canal and general
appropriation bills. Filthy, the supply or ON
nibus bill-a miscellaneous compilation OF
small and great things, reaching in the aggre
gate heavy sum. Sixthly, the milland-a
quarter tax bill. The bill making cities
and large villages responsible in damages to
persons whose property may be destroyed by
mobs.
We ought not to omit in this category the
string of resolutions put through towards the
close OF the session, and known as the whig
platiorm-being compound, in about equal
proportions, OF aboltionism and anti masonry
Among the lost bills were some of the most
prominent of the administration measures
such as-the bill tolling the railroads for the
benefit OF the canals. The bill taxing banks
railroads, insurance companies, and other cor
porations, including churches with two steeples,
DC. The bill giving to certain individuals and
their associates the repair of the canals for a
term Of years, at high figure per annum.
The bill multiplying the fugitive act, known as
the personal liberty bill. The bill for the in
corporation Of companies to navigate the
canals. Also, the proposed constitutional
amendment, extending to negroes the uncon.
ditional right Of suffrage.
1t ought to be, and no doubt is, source Of
general congratulation that so much Of mis-
chief has been prevented and that no more
can be done, by legislation. The public can.
not but breathe more freely and deeper, now
that their law-givers have adjourned and gone
home. Results, we think, will prove that il
had been infinitely better for the State had they
never met"
