road bill has been vetoed, the bills to toll tn
railroads crushed in the bud. All this is great
Improvement upon the last Legislature, and the
present body is entitled TO public gratitude in
conse auence. We notice, however, that bill has
passed the Assembly legislaiing the present City
Chamberlain into Office for series OF years. This
BILL il must be hoped, will be killed in the Senate.
All such legislation is opposed 10 the wi-hes and
adverse the interests Of the people of this city
What the people of New York want is to be let
alone by The Legislature at Albany They don't
want one man legisated into or another man
legislsted out Of Office They want the whole
business of our city Offices let alone, until new
city charter can be framed on large and enlight-
ened principles, by people who have nothing but
the public good at heart. So far as we can
learn, the public have no particular prefe-
renee for any one of the candidates for
the Chamberlaincy The present incumbent
would doubtless be as good man as could be
found, if he were out of business II is therefore
with no view to assist the aspirations of any indi
vidual that we appeal to the Legislature to post
pone the passage of the bill which has passed
the Assembly until the whole subject of our city
government be fairly brought before them. This
is undoubtedly, the wish of large majority of
taxpayers in this city.
