inches Of snow on the streets Of Washington, and
the stable-men worked half the night to get the
sleigh rea dy for next day. Before daylight the
weather grew warmer and by 10 in the morning
all the snow was gone, and no more fell that winter.
"Oh, WE'LL" said Mrs Fish, "we'n use the sleigh

TO THE MAJORITY At ALBANY.

The Legislature reasScmbles this evening
and with the announcement OF the standing
committees will be ready for the discharge or
its important duties. A few words to our Re
publican friends, who are in the majority III
both Senate and Assembly.
1t lies with you to make a record that Will
help nightly to carry NcwIorll next fall for
the Republican Presidential ticket a short,
wholesome fruitful session, full OF good works
for the people and the despair of the lobby,
will prove weighty campaign document He
serves his party best who serves the people
best Yours is a great opportunity to advance
the Republican cause not only in this State but
in the Nation.
Why not a short session? There is no reason
why all the work that ought to be done cannot
be well done by the goth OF March, or say, the
1st of April But if there is to be much
earlier final adjournment than usual there must
be harder work and fewer rccesscs than usual.
1t has come to be a habit for the Legislature to
adjourn every week from Friday until Monday.
Men engaged in other avocations get along
comfortably with q scm-OccasOnal breathing
spell. Suppose this Legislature should cut
down the number of recesses One-half7 Would
not that amendment render it easy to transact
all necessary business and get away from
Albany before April 7 The people are very
fond of short sessions.
Let the measures of large public concern be
promptly prepared and vigorously pushed.
Every year number of laws are enacted which
are of small value to anybody and purely local
in their character These comparatively worth
less bills consume the time that could be more
proftably spent, stand in the way of legislation
for the greatest number, and thus ncedlcssly
prolong the session. The Constitution prohibits
the Legislature from passing certain kinds OF
"private or local. bills; but the evil is by no
means abated.
A custom has gro yn up for members to intro
duce bills "by request Those who do this
would seem to labor under the idea that the Use
of that phrase abSOlves them from all RESPONSE
bility for the bills covered by it. Many such
bills are absurd, some are worse, and nearly all
are crude and vague. 1t is a good custom to
drop. A legislator ought not to bring forward
any bill of which he is ashamed. Besides, it is
cruel to committees to throw such truck upon
them.
The committees on engrOSScd bills cannot be
too yigilant For obviously if a bill fails TO
be engrOssed as passed, the intent of the major
ity may be brought to naught There have
been scandals connected with the expressing
room the particulars of which are yet fresh in
the public mind. 1t is promising field for re-
form.
We are sure the majority will receive these
suggestions in the spirit with which they are
offered They are submitted because THE
TRIBUNE desires to see this Legislature meet
the high expectations which it has inspired, and
because we desire to see New York lead the Re-
publican column in November.

caucus for Speaker he would probably have
had to struggle hard to get good committee.
A much more significant and interesting con-
test. however, is that between Mr.. Payne and
Mr.. Pendleton in Ohio, which will be decided by
the caucus tonight. Both are men OF high per-
sonal character, National reputation ana
marked ability, and it might be expected tnat
the contest between them could be conducted
on a higher plane than that of the ordinary
scramble for an office. The fact Is, however
that the fight is exceedingly bitter and bad
tempered, and each side is charging the Other
with corruption. The great argument used
against Mr. Payne is that some of his relatives
are connected with the Standard Oil Company;
and the average Democrat dearly hates cor
poration with which he doesn't happen to be
connected. The great charge against Mr'
PendletOn is that he is a Civil Service Ret0rmer,
and it is interesting to see how bitter the Ieel-
ing of many Democrats is Just because MT.
Pendleton fathered bill which may prevent
some of his party from getting clerkships, IL
Democratic President shall ever be inaugu-
rated. The sweeping denunciations of MIR.
Pendleton for his share in the reform agitation
of last winter show how far the Democratic
party is from DclnP TecOuCIcu W any
to stop the abuses of patronage. One Demo
cratic paper in Ohio says it is not " for Payne,
q the millionaire, or for Payne, the relative OF
Standard Oil stockholders, but for Payne,
"whose Democracy was not learned IN Eu-
@ropean academies, and subsequently confirmed
in social relations with the British Minister at
Washington for Payne, whose head has not
"bcen turned with the buzzing of the Presl-
dental bee, thereby Misunderstanding him
q into the originating champiOning and passage
of bastard British Civil Service class law"
There is good deal more of the same sort. Mr.
PendletOn is called an aristOcrat and Anglo
American; he is also called, with terrible con-
temptuousness, "a lawyer" Likewise, "a
class grading American" 1t cannot be denied
that Mr. Pendlcton made a great political mis-
take when he offered and helped to pass the
Civil Service law. That action gave his OPP
poncnts their most powerful weapon Whether
he is defeated or not the incident sheds flood
of light upon the spirit of the Democratic party,
and should be a grave warning to Democrats
with warnings after better things.

PERSONAL,

The Hon. Leopold Morse attributes his success
full financial career to the fact that he has never
invested dollar in speculative stocks.
The Hon. David Sanlley, who died on Saturday at
Newcastle, Penn. age seventy-fve years, was
the father of ira d. Sankey, the evangelist.
1t was remarked in Philadelphia, on Saturday,
that Secretary Lincoln, who then paid that city a
short visit, was looking unusually thin and care
worn.
Colonel j. /. Nevin Editor Of The PittsbWg Leader,
whosedeath has just been announced served with
distinction throughout the war as officer Of
Pennsylvania volunteer troops, For two years
after the war he was Editor of The PsbHg Dispatch
and then became connected with The Sunday Leader.
He was of the founders of The Evening Leader in
1871.
Ex-senator John Pool Of North-Caroina, who
labored hard to break up the Ks Klux Klan in the
Southern States while in the Senate in 1869 and
1870, is making q moderate living practising law
in Washington. The Senator did more, perhaps
than any other Republican to build up and lead the
Republican party TO success III the Old North State
after the war.
Mr.. Matthew Arnold Is said to have been much
pleased with his visit to Richmond, finding society
in the Virginia capital very agreeable. Phiadel-
phia, too, impressed him as a comfortable and
charming town. Evidently he prefers the mild,
quiet climate Of inland regions to that of the north
ern seabOard, for 1t is said that he has described
Boston as hill covered with granite boulders with
a bleak sea wind always bowling among then-a
condition of affairs not pleasing to his taste.
Mr. Hart, the millionaire stakeholder of the Third
Avenue Surface Railway, is seen IN the neighbor.

SLAVES md HORSES.

The Georgia statesman who lately set up de-
mand for payment for Southern slaves out of the
surplus revenue seems to have started consider
able discussion, not all of which is unfavorable to
his views The Montgomery lAla.) advertiser is deter
mined at least to have the satisfaction of arguing
that President Lincoln had no right to free the
slaves. 1t frees its mind in this way;
It may have been a necessity have the authority Of
tme-honOred maxim to the effect that necessity knows
no law and assert that the President OF tine United
States had any constitutional, legal, moral right
abolish slavery is 10 assert selfevlCent absty. That
President Arthur has just the right to take the
horses OF the Illinois farmers that President Lincoln had
to take the slaves OF Southern men Is proposition that
has negative side.
Little evidences like these Of the unchanged and
Interchangeable character of Southern sentiment on
war issues have their uses

BACK IN T4VNANY HAIL.

Ourod friend General John COchrane has returned
to the Democratic party, and on Saturday evening
was enthusiastically elected a member of the Cen
eral Committee of Tammany Hall. 1t is rumOred
that he will soon celebrate his rcconyersion by
making speech. The report lacks confirmation,
but there is nothing ntrinsicaly improbable in it.
General Cochrane has been reminded by an oficiOus
reporter that he made a speech in Tammany Hall
several years ago, and declared in it that he
would vote for the devil incarnate if he was Onthe
Tammany ticket" But the craftsmanship Of those
days, remarked the General with an air of sadness,
was very different from that of our degenerate
times "Thcn Fernando Wood was running for
Mayor, and Isaiah Rvnders and | were making
speeches on the same platform" Well, upon the
whole we do not wonder that the General was
ready tovote for the devil under those circum-
stances.
AS for his later carcer-we mean General
COchrane's-that, according to his own declaration,
has always been directed by the principles of
Webster Calhoun Fernando Wood and Captain
Rynders. During the war the Republican party
went over in a body to General COchrane, and it
continued to act with him up to the close of his
term of Office as Alderman of the XAIst District.
Then the party went wrong. 81 have not left the
Republican party" says General CoChrane, lit has
left me-" This statement, we fear is true; and
since our old friend has been left we do not know
what better he could do than accept Mr.. John Kelys
hospitality and step in ont of the cold. The Gem
eral and The TRIBUNE used to work together very
pleasantly once upon time; he is q good fellow in
the main, honest, earnest and with the best intcn-
tIOns even though he does believe that the Re-
publican party has proved recreant to the princ-
pies of Captain Rynders and we hOpo that Nj.
Kelly's boys will treat him well, now that they
have got him back.

POSSIBLE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS.

BY coincidence the only Senatorial contests
now attracting the attention of the country are
between Democrats-thOSe in Kentucky and
Ohio. In the former State two eminent ex-
Confederatcs Senator Williams, the present
incumbent, and Congressman Blackburn, are
struggling for the prize Senator Williams is
chiefly remarkable for the fact that he fought
at the battle of Cerro GordO in the Mexican
war. A year ago he attracted some attention by
the declaration in the Senate that when the
Republican party saved the Union and freed
the slaves, its mission was ended-a remarkably
frank admission that the Senator and most of
his fellow Democrats had been wrong on these
great questions. General Williams's speech on
the Civil Service Reform bill Is also well re-
membered, in which he said it might bother us
q little coming inn Mr.. Blackburn is remem-
bered for q great many things prominent
among them being his announcement few
wears ago that the Democratic party proposed
to sweep every vestige of war legislation from
the statute books "a programme which up to
the present time has not been fulfilled. Behind
these two stands as possible compromise can
didate Speaker Carlisle, who could apparently
be elected without difficulty If he or Mr.. Black
burn would but say the word. Mr.. Carlisle Is
also talked of good deal now US q free trade
candidate for the Presidency, the argument
being that the issue for 1884 has been practl-
cally fixed by his election as Speaker, and he Is
the most available man to represent it on the
National ticket. This Is good illustration OF
how much success counts for in our politics,
where sudden promotions arc so common. If
Mr.. Carlisle had received few votes less in the
