UNE dates the corruption of our Legislature
from the Republican triumph in the Fall OF
1859. That is a grave mistake. IL is now some
sixty years sinco Gov Tompkins dispersed d
Democratic Legislature because OF its notorious
corruption. Bank chaTtering was, through i0rty
years of mainly Democratic rule, as Glarlngly
corrupt as Street Railroad Chartering Is IN our
day. The strongly Democratic Senate Oh
1857 was constrained to cXpel two OF
It's Democratic members for gross
corruption The Republicans first carried
the Legislature. not in 1859, h"t IN 1872
they lOst it In '6v, but rcgained it in 49, In
the Legislature Of 1860, [chOsen in 1881 there
were many more Democrats than in that just
adjourned yet tho jobbers readily passed their
bills over Gov. Morgans vetOes In 1850 but
were utterly unable TO override Gov. Fentons
vetoes in 1867 Had the Republican member"
of this year been as generally rotten as the
Democrats every bill vetoed by Gov. Fentoh
would now be a law.
The giant evil which now demands reform
mdews both parties alike. is deplored by the
better portion Of both, and will be eradicated
by their Joint efforts. The work, we are con
fdcnt, will be nObly initiated by our impending
Constitutional Convention.

IDTTERIES 40 fN.

There is n law of the State of Ncw-foh
which declares n lottery, under whatever
specious name il may be Disguised, "a public
nuisance" and we are not without hope that
if the managers of these enterprises continue
much longer to evade and defy the law, our
citizens may come gradually to the same con-
cllsOn. lt does seem reasonable To expect
that after four or five hundred thousand peo-
pie have been deuded into paying five dollars
apiece for brass rings and twopenny buckles,

CORRUPT LEGISLA ATION-PARTY RESPON-
STRJITTT


The BrOoklyn Eagle gives tongue in the dcs-
perate hunt for Copperhead capital amid the
offensive remains of our late Legislature. Ii
states the case thus:
Legislative corruption has reached such hight at
Albany that the journals published in the interest
OF the party which control ~ compelled 10 denonnce
H. In doing however they make the point that II is
not fair 10 hold the Republican party responsible Tor H.
for the that the Democratic minority are seldom
unrepresented in the votes by which nearons
schemes carried through the Legislature The point
IN opinion, is not well taken. Under representative

the people may have 10 complain Of which IL may be
within the power OF II government 10 remedy"
The doctrine here put forth by The Eagie
is virtual proclamation to the political mi
nority in every legislative OF municipal body
- Steal all you may; sell your votes regularly
"to the highest bidder; he as corrupt, as mer-
"cenary, as rascally as you can for the People
"will charge all the misdoings OF your body to
"the political majority; so that the more
"profigate you are, the more capital you will
"make for your own party" To state this
proposition lucidly is to refute it.
Let us illustrate The Eagle's doctrine by a
ready example Let us suppose the Assembly
to be composed of 68 Republicans and 80 Demo
Gratis. The usual tempters proffer the usual
temptations to venality but the great mass Of
the Republicans, fearing the consequences Of
yielding 10 their party, spurn the lures Of the
Lobby. The great body of the Democrats, on
the other hand, seeing that whatever i'll fame
may be achieved by this Legislature will he
so much capital for their [Democraticl
party, "go in' for all they can make Thus
50 Democrats and 10 Republicans conspire 10
pass all manner Of corrupt measures, in de-
fance of the best efforts Of the 5s Republicans
and Democrats who sternly but fruhlessiI
resist them. The Eagles doctrine is, that the
Republicans should be held responsible for
every bill thus passed, and should be hurled
from power because of its passage. Such
