The Need Of Rstrenohment and Reform.
A day or two before the adjourn
ment Of the State Legislature on the
first of March last, Senator Leslie,
who is nothing if not Radical, made
a vigorous attack upon the State Gov.
ernment, and declared that ssthe Ap-
propri alton Bill alone, if any one
would criticise it truthfully and show
it up as it should be done, would
damn every one" Of tho leaders Of
the Radical party. How far even the
amounts set down in an, Appropria-
lion Bill will cover the expenses Of a
year, none but q Radical official can
know. In some cases, however,
wink is us good as a nod, md as Sena-
tor Leslie sud, without contradiction,
that the cost of the legislative session
would be at least two hundred thous-
and dollars, and the appreciation for
the purpose was just one Hundred and
forty thousand :.oiiars, itis only rea.
souablc to look for large d efficiency
III that quarter, and, also, in other
directions. Indeed, the Appropria~
ton Bill hints that something of the
sort may be expected, auas provides
twenty thousand dollars tx meet tho
deficiency, in the, aapprrNsss. T.ion for
Legislative purposes 10 the preceding
year. But it may not be right to as.
sumo beforehand that the different
departments will spend more than is
authorized by law, and a plain COM
parison of what 10 granted this year
with what was granted forsthe year
J l867 must be fair, and will certainly
be interesting.
The whole expenses {acoording to
the Appropriation BilD of :be year
1867, were So 1850, against (exolu-
siye Of ipteresD $72l,lG9 for the
year now current. This is good

sistance 60 the Aristocracy Of Yacht Own
ership-Reform Meeting In Delnonico's.
In answer 60 advertisement in the morning
journals . largo number OF members OF tho New

present mismsnsgemcnt and desirous OF reform, met
In Delmoabco's, on william street. at O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. This meeting called to In
vestgato the committees mismanagement OF the last
regatta In the regatta before the last the wine bills
were footed by the Club, and the walters manarod
to carry great many things away, which nned the
expense OF the wine alone to 5000. Al the last
regatta, however the committee determined to make
each member pay for his own wine. and the conse-
quence that several gentlemen having ladies' In
their company, were insui,ed by the waters. who,
when asked to get some wine, replied that they bet
ter got II themselves.
Mr. John A. Rollins took the chair. and the Sec
rotary, Mr.. Cortlandt M. Taylor, read . paper con-
tanning the grievances OF the non-yacht owners OF
the Club. The principle point was, that under the
constitution only yacht owners orty nine In NUMBER
have any vote In measures concerning the Club,
while nonyacht owners, who number about three
hundred and bfty, have no vote, although they pay
400 in dues yearly, against 81 225 received from
the owners OF yachts.
The meeting demanded the following amendments
TO the constitution:
