THE SENA TORS AND THE RAILWAY
TRACKS,

THs GRAND uprising Of City Councils and OF the
people against the in 3idious legislation designed
to postpone the removal of railroad tracks from
Broad street has brought the State Senators
from this city to their senses and impressed
them with lively sense, of the Importance of
making AN effort TO fee from the wrath to
come. When the bill was originally considered
In the State Senate, the people of this great
city had but a single champion. The men
who were ready candidates to
pr0Eer lip-service to their constituents speedily
forgot their promises and their obligations when
the projectors of the last outrage appeared upon
the scene of action. Yesterday, however, wa,
day of penitence. Henszey, who, to his credit be
IL said, had opposed the obnoxious bill, offered
resolution to recall it from the House, when, rs
the teIegraphic report informs us, SENATORS
McCandless, Nagle, and Connel expressed their
desire 70 have the bill recalled and defeated on
the ground that its real purport had not been
apparent when it had originally been passed"
We fully concede that repentance is ''better late
than never" and that ''while the lamp holds out
to burn the vilest sinner may return" but il the
maxim that blunder is worse than crime II
ever true, 1t is applicable in this instances and
If we take the three Senators at their word, their
confession that they did not understand the
purpOrt of legislation in which their constituents
were deeply interested, reflects but little credit
on their sagacity. Hereafter it may be set down
