AuuNY, May 30.?In one important particular the
Legialature of 1873 did ita woik better than auy of
ita predeceeaore liavc doue for aeveral yeara. Ita
finaneial legialation ia immeaaurably superior in
completeneaa and economy to anything of the kind
done at Albany aii-ce the war. For thia one excal
lence credit ia Baa to Mr. I). P. W.vod of OnondagaCo.,
Chikirnian of the Ji'inanee Committee of the Peuaie.
Tho puhlio treaaury will bo the rieher by aeveral
hun.lred thotiaand dollara, through tlie audacity and
parliamentary atrategy of the 8yraenaa Serator,
aaaisted hy Mr. I.owery, tho Seuator from Onoida.
It ia neceaaary to explain that Mr. Wood, through
the macl.iuery of a Couference Committee. actually
carried hia point againat the oppoaitioti of a majority
of both the .Senato and Aaaembly. What ia more
cunoua Htill, thia Couference Committee, acci.leiit
allv appoiuted by Seuator Alleu. who temporanly
occtipicd the cliair, waa made up of men wliom
the Kcnatora who have dictated the aetion of
the l.ieiiteiiant-Governor had determined not to ao
pomt. The f loalanaa. flinanwr according lo hi*
own atatement, made puhliely to the Senate, had
promised to appoint a very differcnt comuiitteo on
the Supply hill. wh.ch committee it waa intcnded
ahould have overruled Mr. Wood aud kept a number
of appropriatioua iu tho hill which had no right to
be there. Mr. Allen happened to to b? in the oliaif
when the meaaage from the Aaaembly came up. A
paper happened to he on the deak containing
the name* of MertaTB. D. P. Wood, I/owery,
and I-ord aa Couference Committee on the
Supply bill, and Mr. Allen ineontlnently
appointed tliem, to the great disgust of the, advisen.
of the, Lieiitf iiant-Coveriior and that oflieial. Thia
aet iileut savt-d tlie tax-payera a goo<l round aum,
and givea the Stato an uncomtnoiily lnuieat aud
Btraightforward Supply hill. The foregoing muat
not l>e underbtiMxl aa written in dirrpaxagemeiit of
Mr. Fork, the Chairmau ol the Committee of Ways
an.l M.-ana of the Aaa.-nibly, or of any of the mem
Irera of tbat Corumitte-e. To Sp< akt r Cornell ia due
the credit of having made np his committee.*, gen?
erally in aiieb | way aa to aecurc all tho aaaiatance
which good committees can give to houcat legisla
t.uii.
Whatever may be thought of the qnality, no com
plaint can be made of the .juautity of railioad legin
lation which haa been ground out thia year. The
t.ill for two additional tratka forfre.ight traina aloug
the. Central Railroad failed to get through the As
acinbly, it ts tnie, buL the reusons for the failure aro
of a kind with wlii.h tho public have no reaaon to.
t>e iliaaatiali.-d. Mr. Vanilerlult waa in fact not will
iug to l.uy voUvi enough t<. |0M hia bill. and, moie
over, tn- f.nitifl tliut ln- could build the road without ad?
ditional legislation. Thia wae a great diaappoint
lnent U> at leaat 60 or 70 membera t>f the Asaembly, to
eay nothing of Senators. Tho Third-ave. Company
ljillforaiielevat.il railroad failed to paaa the Scn
;tte, an.l (.ardineFa War.lioase aud Railroad bill
Btopqed in tbe A.-aembly, but alinoat all the reat of
tbe rayid traua.t ateam and horae railroad billa
went through without __ny oppoaition to apeak of.
The Railroad Couiniitteea in both the Senate and Aa
aombly were mutie up of rnanagcre, directora, and
attorneya of railroad corporat.oua, which arrange
inent certaincy bad tho arivantage of eav.ug the
Companiea fn.m being hlackmaied.

|0 ba added that the charlt-r of iie;ir!y every other
city iu tlie Stato liar* been reiundeled either thi.- ) . ar
or laat. Thoiisanda of acrea might bo coverotl witli
tholcaveaof the writteu and priutcd bilia which
have emanatod from tbe Coiumitteea on Citiea.
I hose cominitteott havo, beyond a doubt, doue more
niiachi.-f within the laat 10 yeara than all the other
etiminitteen eoml.itiod, and if anything ha*1 ataa done
for New-York City by tlio pre-t.-nt 1.. gi. lature litll.
thankrt are dne to the CommitteO on Citiea.
The Canal legialation waa not very diilcrent from
wliat it haa been of late yeara, though au effort haa
be-ii made to ecouomize by cutting down appropri
atniii- Ln the noii-paying Lateral ditchea. Th.- (tfo
pooition tol'und tbo Canal and t.cnen.l Fuud dt-bta
into 40 year live jier c*_nt bouda haa been iud.iraed
by both Houaea by the paaaage of the lirat prelitni
uiuy coucurreut reaolution for aubmittiug the tiuea
tion to the people.
Tbe actiouof tbe Aiwembly on the bill to change the
U.-uirv laws imist have Heeni.d very atiango io all
oliMi-rvcrr). The \iew_ of licntham aud John Stuart
Mill were for once enforced by something mtitiitely
more patent with our legialatora than logic, an.l hatl
the preaanre boen niuintaiiied there would have lieeii
mich a nioditication of tbe penaltiea aa waa pcapowd
by Seuator Winslow. Ilut the advan.eil thinkei..
withtlrew from tbe tield and left Mr. Speakt-r Cor?
nell the houor of a victory. The Judii-iary Coui?
niitteea carried through aome good billa of a gcneral
natiire amendatory of the atatutea, and Mr. Prince
a.s I'liairnian of tlie Aaaembly CiiimitttM', maintitiiiH
hia previoua oxctdlent reputation aa a well infornied
antl conacientiouB member.
1 he Legialature of 1873, taken aa a whole, may be
an improvemeut on the Legislaturea which were
ownetl by Tweed, but it is generally conceded that
tlie ..-utcmbly was by aeveral degreoa leaa hon?r.t
tlian that of laat vear. while at tlie aame time there
waa more good material in it; that ia to aay, if
ono were to pick out the 80 beat men in each
the Aaaembly of 1873 would not sufl'er hy the
coniparisou. In the Senato there haa been for two
yeara back a Bmall prepoudtTanco of men who are
knowu to be above making mouey by aellitig their
votea; but thia preponderance ia very auiall thia
year. Without atteinpting further tv diacriminate
if is an undoubtcd fact that the New-York Legiala
tui?- ha-. sttil a fiuiiily reaemhlauce to that of l'enn
aylvania.
