FIGURES.

We lave given already some decutVo o'loohco
of tho estimation in which we hold the pro-
ceedpas of the late Legislature Of this State aad
have condemned INTERESTINGLY where we thought
condemnation was called for, irrespective CT party
considerations. We do not think, however, that
irna,taty re Ir;res that we should be silent under
Injustice, nor pass over in silence the sweeping
charges made in The Journal Of Commerce OF yea
terday morning. That cor scientous sheet, which
knows Only one side in politics and morals, and
that the wrong side, holds the Republican party
responsible for all the corruption of the Legislature,
and especially lays at its door every wrong
done to this city at the late session. II assumes
that as members of one soft have done badly,
that members of another sort have done well; that
as some Republicans have betrayed the truss
reposed in them by the people, that oil tho Demo-
erats have given evidence of immaculate public
' rtue. We cannot accept this logic, however
much it may be in accordance with the philosophy
of The Journal Of Commerce. We DO not accept IL
az sound doctrine that of three rogues engaged 10
burglary, the two who did two-thifds OF the WORK.
and are caught and held responsible, are each twice
a. guilty as he who did the lgater share and
escaped. 1t happens in this case that the Legsls-
ture, when weighed as Republican aud Democratic,
though numerically superior on the Republican
side. carries the heaviest weight of guilt on ths
Democratic. We do not suppose The Journal will
permit its readers TO see the figures; We neverthe-
less present them to the consideration Of ours.
For instance:
The Avenue d Railroad was passed over the
Governors veto. The veto in the Senate was Re-
publican, yeas, -, nays 8. The Democratic vote
was yeas, nays /. Ia the House, the Republican
vote was 81 yeas and 81 nays. Of the Democrats,
80 voted yea, and 5 only nay. Oh those not voting
there were Republican Senators and ~ Assembly
men; of the Democrats, there were none absent In
either House Oftbe City Delegation, on the same
vote, there were no Republican yeas and nay in
the Senate, and only yeas and nay in the House;
while there were Democratic yeas in the Senate
and ii in the House, and only nay in the Senate
and 2 in the House. In other words, the percent
age in the Senate was Sc per cent Republican, and
SO Der cent Democratic; and in the House, 81 per
cent Republican, and 85 per cent Democratic
This is not only fair specimen of the relative
characters of the two parties in the Legislature,
and an equally good specimen of the fairness of
The Journal Of Commerce, on which it prides ITSELF
We give below the details Of the vote on this bill,
with the name of each vote.
