UORh or TUE LEGISLITTPE

The political contest at Alb1ny has 50 cn-
crossed the attention of the people Of the STATE
that many OF them do not, perhaps, remember
That the session had already cquallcd thc
duration OF the average Legislature when the
Senators resigned Since that time LITTLE has
been accomplished in legislation, cyccpt for
TIE most part, the paSSagc OF measures 10 which
the GOVcinOr was compelled 10 auulv q
prompt veto. The legislative record or
the session is therefore practically COM
pr'od within the period ending with the
lGlh of May. 1t cannot Ice said that tbc
record is a very fruitful one. 1t is a showing
principally Of things that have NOT bcon
accomplished. Bat while it may be truc that
comparatively little advance has been m,do in
the various departments of legislation II !,
also true that few dangerous or douhtru,
measures have become laws; and tbis all
things considered is one Of the most favorable
yerdicts that can be passed upon u Lcgis,,-
ture.
The first concern of citizens of NcwYorI, il
usually to know in what shape the close Of =,
legislative session has left the laws governing,

little to be said that subject. Tho Mo-
Carthy Charter, the only comprehensive neosuro
OF reform proposed at Albany, was smotbered
IN the Assembly Committee on Cities
after passing the Senate. Some of its foa
lures were of doubtful expodiency, but. ~ q
whole, the effect of the bill would have been in
the direction OF consolidating bloated depart
mcnts, and abolishing useless bureaus and
sharply reducing municipal expenses. Its foil-
ure III Committee is much TO be regretted. The
responsibility for the failure is clear enouob Tn
leave no mistake rs to its orig in The rcm,;u-
ing laws affecting the local interests of this
city are comparatively of minor Importance

easily sen That the work of the Legislature.
so iar as the City Of New-lolll is concerned
has been chiefly of a negative character.
The same is true, in great measure resncct

much attention at Albany. The earnest work
OF the Governors Taxation Commission and the

STOCK COMPANIES IN LONDON.

What fever of speculation has come ovor our es-
tecmcd friend, John Bull After having refused
every ncw investment and buttoncd up his pockets
for years he seems to have forgotten al the lessons
Of the past and tobc subscribing eagerly for every
wild sch"me pat before him. The last issue of The
Economist shows that The speculative mania in Lon
don increases and gathers strength. In the precod-
i"g week the proSpcctuSes Of ten new companies
were Issued, involving commitment equal TO
twenty-five millions Of dollars There were gold ana
silver mines, diamond mines. water works electric
light companies, shipping. fishing and agricultural
schemes. The advertisements iii whole sides of
The Times newspaper.

tons for Engiands spare cash. The >onback and

poses to present with each bond fully-paid share

marvellous simplicity if he can be gnllcd in thi,
way and on such terms. There must be some hidden
charm about the scheme, and il appears that the

SPEAKER SHARPA's INGRATlrUDE

If there is man i'll politics in New-Yorl1
who can afford to stand on his own merits
and ask no iavorS of any one, it is Sneaker
sharpe We have not always agreed with him,
and have of late had aayc~.l occasions 10 critciso
with irankueSs his public acts BIT we have
never doubted his ability, his energy and his
popularity before the people. Now that he
has, none too soon, concluded to listen to the
cali OF his constituents and to vote in favor
of the Republican candid ltcs for senator. he
is asSailcd with the ready charge of poriidv to
Mr.. Couhling, 10 which The additional glava-
men of ingratitudc is added The Coniilinc-
Democratic papers are shocked at his conduct
ard shrill in condemnation.
These charges are too ridiculous for serious
rcfutation. The burden Of gratitude lies en-
trcly on the other side. General sharpe has
done ten times as much for Mr. Conklnr in
this state rs MIR. Conkling has ever done for
him. He has been one of his most earnest
and effective supporters, and has been the
brains, the directing intelligence of this long
fight in Dir. Conklings favor against
the public sentiment of the State When
the time came to decide whether he
should continue losing and hopeless conflict
indefinitely. with no advantage to Mr. Conk-
ling and with serious damage TO the Rcpnbli-
can party, General Sharpe chose to sacrifice
his personal preferences and cast in his lot with
the majority of his Republican associates The
only mistake he made was in waiting too long;
but for this no deserves the gratitude and not
the blame OF ;ho Conkling party He is alike
indifferent, however, to their abuse or their
threats. He knows, and all sensible people
know, that he has done more for them than
they ever have done or can do for him; and
so tar "a the future is concerned, the personal
qualities which have won him SO many sue
ccsscs in the past will be Il better reliance than
any help from a broken and discrcdited ring.
He has u habit of running ahead of his ticket
for which he owes no thanks to Mr.. Conklinc
nor any one else.
