Ii all special legislation is prohibited by the Constitution, the most fertile and in deed almost the only source of legislative corruption will be dried up. Year by year, since 1858, the lobby has encroached upon the province of legislation, and secured charters and amendments for monstrous corporations. several of which have attain ed such powers as to be virtually above the operation of the laws. The legislatures conferring these powers have fallen under deserved reproach, for only blindness or bribery could explain such gross disregard of the sound principles of government
 The present Constitution gives authority for all kinds of special legislation; and un- der it three-quarters of the time of every legislature is taken up by personal schemes demanding special legislation and securing 1t by Bribery and corruption. But this is not all, nor the worst. If @ literary socie- 'ty III an interior county desires to establish an Athen@um, it must send a person to Albany to get Q special charter through tho legislature. There are dozens of such things required in every legislature, and the corruptionists make money by demand ing pay for ''not opposing" good. or harm less charters, as we'll as forssQppOrting cor rupt measures. Thus the3obby is main. tained.
 Moreover, measures of great public utili- ty are prevented, because they must have under the present Constitution, special charters, and these are opposed by those whose personal interests are threatened, Why havo we no cabs in New York? Be- cause the omnibus men resist the charter ing of a cab company; so we have always heard. Why have we no steam railroad from the Battery to Spuyten DuvvilP Re- cause the horse railroad companies oppose its charter. The whole upper end of the island remains empty, and half million of people are ipconvenienced, because that which might be accomplished under general laws, is defeated when special legislation is made necessary.
 Again, why do we sec constant applica- tions to the legislature for special privileg- .es to powerful corporations? Because our system of special legislation encourages such applications, and holds out the hopes iof great and unrighteous gains at tho pub lie expense.-N. Y. Eoening Post.
