The party majority i'll the present
legislature, III conjunction with Il
few corrupt Democrats, have acted
so notoriouSly bad that their con-
duct will long stand in the history of
the state as of matchlesS infamy.
The passage of the Recorder bill is
specimen of partisan and ring legis-
lation Of the worst type. BY Its
provisions an old and obsolete law
in Philadelphia is revived, giving en-
larged control to the Recorder and
his under-strapperS over the mel-
cantile appraiSementS and the APP
pealS thereon. The powers of the
Recorder are enlarged to dangerous
extent, and the emolumentS of the
office are now variouSly estimated at
from $4,000 to $50.00G n year. Now
