be reauired. No request for special legislation
sbould be listened to for q moment 2UDN
There IL another thing which the supporters
of the new law ought to be careful about
that is in giving heed to ill-considered re-
ouests for amendments to it. Many people
seem to think because competing road
across the State has not been built imme-
diately that the law is failure, and searching
il TO find the cause they conclude it must De
in the restrictive provisions in reference to
the issue of bonds. The law forbids any COM
pany organized under it to borrow money In
excess of its paid up capital stock, ana re-
gures it to give a mortgage for all sums
borrowed. on its lands, privileges, &c. This
provision it is contended, prevents new
company from securing capital. 1t certainly
would not have that effect if capitalists were
convinced that there is sufficient demand for
a new road. Until they are so convinced it IS
the best of proof that no such road would
pay The revelations of the past few months
have shown pretty cOnclusively the folly OF
building railroads upon bonds alone, and we
can but regard it as one of the wisest rcstrlc-
tons of the New-Jersey law that it prevents
such fallaciOus enterprises
DeSueS Tie uucSiiou tho hoot
pOrtant subject for the consideration of the
Legislature will be the constitutional amend
ments. Nearly if not quite all of them seem
to be sautaIy. Those which remove the
necessity for special legislation by the sub
stitution of general laws are eminently de-
sirable. Special legislation has been the curse
of New Jersey, rs it has of every other State.
Let general laws be enacted and there will be
no necessity. for the Legislature to meet
oftener than once in two years. Such
result would be beneficial to the State In
many ways. There is no reason why such
legislation "a we have mentioned AZ desirable
may not be expected. The members are more
evenly divided politically than they have been
for several years. Each party is anxious to
win popular favor, and each ought to have
wisdom enough to see that it can do this only
by faithfully sustaining measures of reform.
New-York tribune., 1873-12-25
TIE YEW.JERSEY LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature which meets at Trenton on
the second Tuesday in January will assemble
under peculiar circumstances. Its previous
sessions have been lifted into national prom
inence by the struggle between the people
and gigantic railroad monopolies. Last year
this conflict ended, leaving on the statute
book General Railroad Law, an eloquent ex-
ample of the power OF aroused public Opin-
ion. 1t seems hardly possible that so soon
after that disastrous defeat the enemies of
free railroads will venture to renew the fight
to regain what they have lost. Yet there are
unmistakabe Indications OF such purpose.
That it will be an open attempt for the re-
peal of the law, no one who IL con-
versant with the sbrewdness Of railroad
officials will for moment suppose. They
are too wise to court defeat in that way.
What their course will be can be readily per-
ceived from advertisements which have already
appeared in the New-Jersey newspapers
notices of applications for supplements. The
line of reasoning can be easily predicted. The
old companies do not require new charters
under the law and they will oppose the grant,
ing of any to new companies, arguing that
these latter must organize under the provis-
ions OF the General Law. SO far they will be
perfectly right; but mark the conclusion. The
old companies desire additional privileges
which are not provided for under the General
Law. They will urge therefore that they must
have their supplements, that is must have
special legislation for themselves, while 1t Is
denied to new companies. The first request
may be very small one. say for permission

way for others, until the General Law will in
directly and imperceptibly be deprived of the
very powers which make it most desirable. r
T, The way to prevent this result is very
simple. Let the friends of free railroads allow
no supplements of however slight import
ance, to be passed for special charters but
supply all deficiencies by supplements to tho
General Law. II is just at this point that the
struggle will come. aud tho utmost vigilance

self, among other things, to the abolition Of
| fictitious debates. We find in The Congress
sionat Record of Dec. 20 speech on the
Salary bill by the Hon. Jasper Packard of Hi
nos, ostensbly delivered tho day before in
the House of Representatives. 1t was never
spoken at all. 1t is written essay which
MIR. Packard obtained unanimous consent to
inject into the printed report Of the discus
sion after the labors Of the day were over,
and it has no more business in what purports
to be an official history of the proceedings OF
Congress than any other composition OF Mr
Packard's on public affairs Indeed, its ap-
pearance in the false character OF speech Is
especially Objectionable, inasmuch as Mr..
Packard alludes by name to two OF Dis col
leagues, who, being ignorant of what he was
going to pretend to have said about them, OF
course could make no answer.
This discreditable business ought to be bro
ken up There are scores of abuses aud nui-
sances connected with the public printing

there is any more offensive than the falsllica-
ton Of official records by printing discussions
which never took place. Ii is an abuse which
swells the enormous volumes of inflated de-
bates, Obstructs the prompt dispatch OF the
legitimate work of the printing bureau, ADDS
an inexcusable burden to the taxpayer, ana
encourages a sort of literary dishonesty. 1t is
strong inducement, moreover, for members
to vote for the restoration of the franking
