Everybody is now for reform. All
unite In denouncing the rascally trans
actions of our State Legislature and ad-
ministration. Even those who were the
authors of all this wrong doing, hasten
to declare their purpose to perform the
very unpaternal function of Old Saturn,
and are impatient to devour their own
offspring: The obnoxious bills which
have inflicted 80 much misery and op-
preston upon the people, to say nothing
OF the disgrace involved in the modes Of
their enactment, are to be repealed i'm
rnediately the Legislature assemblies.
SO We are assured by the organs of
the two parties which compose the Rad
ical party and the government of this
State.
There will be lively and brisk race
which shall do most for the relief of the
people. 1t is rivalry 80 laudable and
commendable that we will agree to &C.
cept the fruits without reference to the
past.
But how is it to be done We have
had many such promises, and We are
sceptical enough to wait for some per-
formance.
Accepting the declarations of the Re-
publican, as the authentic manifestations
of the Governors purposes, we shall ex-
pect of him the following recommends
tions:
/. A repeal of the tax bill, so as to ar
rest the present enormous diversion Of
the revenues of the State to the enrich
ment of Office holders and favorites.
Q. The abolition of the State assessors
ships and the adoption of the city as
sessment by the State.
3. The reductioR,of tho enormous pa
tronage and appointing power of the
Executive.
a. The notifications of the Metropol-
itan Police Bill 90 as to reduce the ex-
penses thereof to one-half the present
figures, The other side might 90 a step
further and abolish the whole system
and remit the control of the police to the
city government.)
5. The reduction of the expense of the
Legislature to one third the cost of the
recent sessions.
6. The rigid adherence to- the consti-
tutional limitation of the debt of the
State-already reached.
2. The repeal of the various charters to
~o6Ao va ANCAA WI RoIAttUNHs dsIu Glf0 au-
nuinent of the grants to them.
8. The entire overhauling of the
printing bill, so as to prevent the news-
papers being made party organs at the
cost ef the people.
6. The enactment of severe penal
avs against all persons who are guilty
If any sort Of bribery, venality, corrup-
Jon or extortion in Office. /
There are many other recommends
ions, all tending IN the same direction,
% purge our statute books of the vast
of special, corrupting aud
,dions laws, which, we are given to un-
lerstand, the Governor will embrace in
MS next message. Of course tho mem.
hers of the other faction, viii be- impa-
'ient TO accept and adopt the same. We
shall hardly be satisfied of their good
faith and sagacity, If they do not add
others to the changes and reforms pro-
posed by the Governor. Nous perroas.
