tain thing that such legislation as Congress
granted the Union Pacific and the Credit Mo-
blier, In deroeation OF the rights OF the people,
could not have been obtained without personal
profit to the members who voted for the

There was a member from New York, shabby
fellow, who here for two OF three consecu-

Tweed Co., and held at one time a municipal
ofice OF considerable emOlument. Indeed, am
not sure that he is not still enjoying the fruits
Of his Ingenious MANAGEMENT. This enterprs-
ina legislator contracted to deliver the votes OF
something like dozen Of his city colleagues, at
the rate Of 500 apiece, and actually received
the purchase money. But the commercial gen.
tlemen whom he had sold like sheep In the IN ar
ket refused to recognize his bargain, and as
their support Of certain measure was indls-
pensable II became necessary to buy them all
over again. This was done at an advanced price,
the agent In the original trade keeping all the
money he had received.

Among the acts passed by the present

raises the Court Of Common Pleas and the Su-
pcrior Court Of this city and the City Court of
Brooklyn to equal power, and consequently
equal dignity, with the Supreme Court, giving
them coextensive and concurrent Jurisdiction
Herewith at law and In equity Of all civil actions
and Of all special proceedings Of a civil nature.
Henceforth the processes Of these courts will
run over the whole state instead Of being CON
fined as heretofore to the counties I'm which the

OF tho pressure from the Supreme Court

sidoration Of the many complex questions aris-
Ing out OF special proceedings, heretofore prin-
cipally had In the Supreme Court, more equally

Another important provision OF this act Is that
by which the Supreme Court may, on proper
grounds shown, remove into itself and to any
