ACTION OF Our BEAUTIFUL LEGIsIATURE.-
The Tribune closes rather dolefnl article con-
corning the Legislature with fervent wish
that We may never look upon its like again.
We agree with our cotemporary ia the
very correct estimate which he places upon
the action of his own party. For the preseat
Legislature the annals of official corruption do
not furnish parallel. When the two houses
came together, we judged from the character
of many of the members returned that the L.
gtsiature of 1860 would be the worst that the
State has ever known. We warned the people
at that time, that If they were foolish enough 10
expect that these men, bought, and bound hand
and foot, by an INSCRIPTIONS lobby, would do
anything more than attend to private interests,
they might as well discard the idea at once,
as altogether fallacious With the single ex-
ception Of the Central Park biIl-which even
this the Legislature had not the cousu innate
'mpudence to resist all the projects Of laws
for the public benefit have been killed, and q
Wholesale system Of plumber upon the city of
New York has been initiated aud carried
through, to the exclusion of everything else.
All the city railway bills have been passed
over the Governors veto. To enumerate all
the plunder-scheme which have been rushed
through this Legislature, would be quite out Of
the question at this time. Tie rule of the LIE
gislature seems to have been to touch nothing
without there was money ia it; aud we must
say that the members have stuck to their
pledges. Democrats, as well as black repnbli-
cans, are in all these schemes; but the odiam
of them must rest chiefly on the last named
party, who are largely in the majority, aud
might have checked the tide of corruption ct
any time. Notwithstanding, however, the pa.
thetic appeals of the Tribune, they went on
plundering and to plumber. The members Of
the New York Common Council of 1852 are
remembered by grateful people by the
agreeable title of the "Forty Thieves" What
shall we call the Legislature of 1902 The
Albany Buccaneers" is pretty near it.

The WAILINGs OF THE PROVINCIAL PREss.-
The provincial newspapers are in great distress
about the new system of distributing the me.
topolitan morning journals by railroad ex-
press, as may be seen by the wailings Of the
Philadelphia Bulletin and the Troy Times,
which we print in another column. Our subur-
ban contemporaries are beginning to cry out too
soon, for they may rely upon it that this ar
rapgement for the rapid distribution of the me-
topolitan journals is only in its infancy, There
are some eight or ten railroads radiating from
New York to the furthermost points of the re-
publio-to St. Louis, to Chicago, New Orleans
and elsewhere-and we have no doubt that the
came express project will be carried out on
every one Of them before long. When that is
done, the metropolitan papers will be distri-
buted over an area as large as all Europe on
the day of publication; and however mournful
may be the wailings of the provincial journals
the inhabitants of hundreds Of cities, towns and
villages will be very glad to receive the news
OF the world-as first class metropolitan news
paper only knows how to give it-several days
earlier than they can obtain skeleton of it in
the local journals This is essentially the age
of progress of rapid locomotion, of instantane-
GUS communication of facts and ideas the days
of old fogyism are gone, and the metropolitan
press, which has done 30 much to promote the
increase of railroads, the extension of telegraph
lines and the perfection of ocean steam naviga-
ton, is not going to play the laggards part
in the onward movement.

THE SPRING SEASON AT THE CENTRAL PARK
Although we have had as yet but very little
fine weather (spring hereabouts produces more
catarrhs than violets), yet the season has set in
briskIy ut the Central Park. On last Sunday
as many as ten thousand people strolled
through the Ramble, breathed the fresh air.
and enjoyed the charming views from Observa-
tory Hill. In the early morning, from six to
eight, the visiters to the Park have an oppor
tunity to see how far the Park has stimulated
the noble art of equestrianism. The number
Of riders, of both sexes, is steadily on the in
crease, and will be still further augmented by
the effects of the organization of the
New York Saddle Horse Club, which
has been incorporated by the Legisla-
ture. In this city, where everybody
is striving for money with so much earnest.
ness as to forget everything else, and where
debauchery and hurtful dissipation too often
occupies the hours which should be devoted to
healthful recreation; where professional men,
merchants and other wellto-do citizens over
task their powers habitually, there is especial
need of something like the Saddle Horse Club,
an organization of gentlemen who combine
for the purpose of encouraging the training Of
good horses for the saddle only. There is hard
iy any out door amusement which gives SO
much pieasurable excitement as horseback
riding, and as a medicament it is worth all
the pills and potions in the pharmacopeia. IF
all our lawyers, and doctors, and minister's and
editors, and bankers, and merchants were to
take an hours turn in the Central Park every
fine morning, the number of fashionable funerals
would be indefinitely postponed, the druggists
profits would be materially lessened, and the
butchers bills very much augmented. The
opening Of the Park affords splendid oppor-
tunity for amateur equestrians, and that it will
be improved there can be but little doubt. In
every good way, the Park is to be to the peo-
pie Of this island blessing and boon, of the
value of which the present generation can have
but very limited idea

cusation made against the President by bis
well known enemies, be did 30 in an indignant
spirit, and by his own free and uncoustrsined
volition. There were no motives what
ever, under the circumstances, for him to
utter an untruth. He felt and knew the
accusation 10 be false, and blushed to hear
1t even limited that he was implicated in its cir
culation. This is the perfectly natural course
that any gentleman would pursue under like
circumstances. The statement In Mr.. wendells
card is, therefore, entitled to be held as the
only true one. AS regards the opposite state
ment which be has made to the Congre ssional
Committee, 1t is equally as clear that it has
been instigated by feelings of personal malice
and revenge. While Mr.. Wendell had the free
run of the printing spoils and could squander
large sums ofpublic money, he had no word
of complaint against President Buchanan; but
40 soon as the President discovered the enor-
NIFTY of the evil and resolutely checked it for
the good Of the public, Mr.. Wendell assails
him with an exploded calumny, which he had
himself most fatty contradicted. The facts are
as plain as the sun at MONDAY, and speak much
louder than any structures that might be made
on them. Mr. Wendell, therefore, stands con-
victed of gross regeneration; and until he can
reconcile his two irreconcilable statements,
be cannot expect that his reputation can be
materially improved.
