two Houses must legislate without a clear

Its necessity is SO obvious that we forbear
further remark.
The people of this City have great conf

he has fully deserved. We only urge that the
Legislature will forthwith be required to act
on City matters, and members need what we
have suggested to enable them to act wisely
and promptly.

The sweeping change decreed by the People
of our State at their election last November
begins to take practical effect to-day. The
new State Officers assume direction of their
several departments. including the management
of the State Finances and Canals the ma
jority members of our new Legislature meet
to indicate the officers whom they will choose
in their several Houses tomorrow, when Gov
Hoffman will address them in his last Annual
Message. That will be the formal opening of
the session, but substantially and practically
it will be inaugurated to-day.
The Republican majority in both Houses ia
larger than $50 far as we remember) any party
has had since 1887. The opening of that year
saw the Democrats inyinCibe in either House :;
at its close, though the Senate was still
strongly theirs, the Assembly elect consisted
of 100 Wings to % DemoCrats-a larger pre-
pOnderance than the Republicans have now
secured, since the present Assembly num-
bers not moro than 90 Republicans to 30
Democrats. The Senate, however, is also Re-
publican by 81 TO s or thereabOut though one
or two Of those olasscd on this side or on that
were elected IA RefOrmers without much re-
gard 70 National politics. Thoro is no doubt,

CONCERNING PARTY POLICIES.
The st. Louis Democrat thus comments on
MI GreeleY's letter to Z. DOMAIN:

The st. Louis Democrat thus comments on
Mr. Greeleys letter to p. DOnan:
"Mr Greeley thinks the Democrats made mistake,
four wears ago. in not running ChiefJustce Chase as
their Presidential candidate 1t well known at that
time that Mr. Greeeys personal preference was for Mr.
Chase az "a Republican candidate. He had however,
pledged himself in advance to the support Of the nominee
Of Chicago Convention, whoever he might be- From
this letter 1t is manifest that his pledge nsincere
that IL Mr.. Chase. having failed to secure the
nomination at Chicago had been honored with that Of
the New-York assembage, Mr. Greeley would have sup
ported the Democratic candidate.
"In this letter. Mr. Greeley departs from what he
hitherto declared to be this unvaryng rule OF conduct
III declines a nomination. He has always told us that
he neither sought declined such things but felt him
self ever bound to obey the call OF his countrymen.
Now he says he won't take nomination, even when he
has reason TO believe it would result In his election
He says, practically. that he cannot help to
naugurate Free Trade policy by becoming the candi-
date Of Free Trade party yet the FreeTraders will
nut up some other candidate he will give them his
support"
The mistakes in the above paragraph are
amazing. Mr.. Greeley has declined no nomi-
nation whatever. lie has only written pri~
yatey to a Democrat, who proposed him as a
candidate on an independent platform, that lin
his judgmenD he was not the Republican best
adapted to the end in view-that his stubborn
Protectionism would render him unacceptable
TO Democrats, who are generally Free-Traders.
He has given no hint that he would have
supported Chief-Justice Chase as the Demo-
cratic nominee in any contingency. He did
ardently desire that Mr.. C.. should be the
Democratic nominee in 1868, in order that the
stupid anachronism of resisting the admission
of tho Blacks, since they are free, to the rights
of citizenship, should be brushed away. In this
spirit, he has welcomed and commended the
New Departure, without finding therein a
reason why he or any other Republican should
vote the Democratic ticket and he has never
thought of proffering g his support" to Demo-
cratic Free-Trader. But he wishes both
parties to consent, so soon as may be, to Uni
yersal Amnesty and Impartial Suffrage; but
he does not suppose they will thereupon be
fused into one party. On the contrary he
presumes that there will still be parties, and
that they will give more earnest heed to Eco
nomic or Industrial issues than they have
recently done. Heaven speed the day!

however. that tho Republicans are strong
enough iu either House to override veto ;
80 that the responsibility of this Winters
legislation must rest exclusively on them. The
Executive and higher Judiciary remain Demo
cratic save in the State Departments and the
management of Canals.
This responsibility is not a light one. Re
forms and retrcnchments on every side are
demanded Ivy public sentiment; and it is hardly
possible that they can all be effected within a
session Of one hundred days. Stern integrity
and signal ability are required to save the he
publicans from serious harm and loss by reason
of their great and suddenly achieved power.
Unless this shall prove an exceptionally strong
and pure Legislature, they will have harder
work to carry the State next Fall than though
their late victory had been less decisive,
and one House were now against them.
Any Republican in this Legislature who at
tempts or consents to make money out OF MS
position beyond the pittance doled out 10 MIN
by the State is far more dangerous enemy
to his own party than though he had openly
Joined its adversaries. And any jobber VINO
infests the by-ways and purlieus OF the capital
whispering into members ears hints that money
may be made by voting this way or that, should
be hunted out of the C..y as though he were
some deadly reptile.
There is so vast an accumulation of wrongs
to be redressed and crying abuses to be swept
away that we cannot regard the prospect with
out grave apprehensions. TwO-thirds of the
members are new to public life; hardly a
fourth of them had seats in the last Legsla-
ture. Yet 80 many assemble with good repu-
tations and earnest desires to do right that
we regard the prospect with hope rather than
dismay, and in cheerful trust wish our legs
lators for 1872 a happy new year.
