Ion. Ootkbnor noFFMAN last week astonished bi rond measure the lobbyists au.l politicians of Albany by returning with an indignant and deolalYe veto a private bill. Suoh an notion was an anomaly in the history of State legis lation, for, with the exoeption of Uws whloli tend to cede money b dae tue owe , corporations, no bill of a private nUure Is ever vetoed. The action of the Governor of , New York was not prompted by any dofoot of the bill aa to its merits, but was oooasiooad by a deoisiou on Lis part to put a stop to all suoh private legislation, exoept suoh as was by law ueoesaary. lie says in his message that the power to order many things whuh are ordered by legislative enactment is lodgid In the courts of the Commonwealth, and whenever that power is so lodged he ahull veto all bills in which th legislature attempts ' its exercise. In his action in this matter he , has the warmest sympathy of all honest nun. Let us look at the condition of affairs at II u- , burg by a oomparison with thosa at Albany, and see how wise the action of Governor II off. : man has been. ' It Is conoeded by all that at the capitals of : all the larger States there is an atmosphere of : pestilent corruption. There are of course gentlemen in both branches of all Legisla- ( turea who are entire y honest and j above reproach, who would not sup- j port a bad bill, and who cannot be ap- j proaohed by meroenary considerations. These men are the bulwarks which proteot us from the utter prostitution of all the legislative power of government. But in spite of them there are rasoality, bribery, aul every species ol corruption going on of which they know aothing. Thus, what causes the rush of oormorants to the capital, the presenoe of I lobbyists, and the use of money f On what speoiea of bill is money spent ? It requires no knowledge of the workings of the Legislature to be sure that all these corrupting influences duster around private bills. A general law never oauses any such corruption. People feel an interest in its merits, but never feel sufficient interest to use money to defeat it or facilitate its passage. When, therefore, a general law of really great importance comes up, there is a lull in corruption, and it is oonsidered from some other standard tb.au dollars and cents. Bat it id the private legis lation which draws the lobbyists together, and it is beoause of the lack of real merit in lav of this olass of legislation that secures the ex penditure of money. The class of laws which are uuially assed are of a kind which would not stand the investigation of a court. We do not say that they are bad, but they are all of a character which would not be granted if tested by an examiner of a properly consti tuted court. Let us take the oase of divorces. The law gives to the Courts of Couamon Pleas of the different counties power to order divorce for came. The causes' for whioh they can be granted are so broad and numerous as to cover almost very real ground for the separation of mm and wife desertion, ill-treatonut, crime, and all the other good reasons for demanding that a solemn contraot be set aside. Yet we sea every session hundreds of applioations to the Legislature for divorces. Why do thea parties go to Harrisburg aud spend five time as muoh oorruptly as Is neoessary to get a divorce from the courts, unless it be that their -oases do not possess sufficient merit to seoare the assent of a well-regulated oourt ? This is the true reason. The interposition of the Legislature is neoessary beoause the parties Lava do right to be set fres. Take ft case of the present session. A divorce was granted because a huabtni did not feed the children of the wife by Ler first Lusband on too same food that he ate himself. Can there bo any wonder, when this was the ground for setting aside a sacred contrast, that the par ties should avoid a court and go to the Leg's Uturef This is typioal of all species of private legislation. There Is nearly always a defeot somewhere which will prevent a oourt of Joatloe granting what is asked for; and it Is oa suoh bills aa these that corruption takes place and the lobbyists thrive. Mow the aotloa of Governor Hoffonn is suggestive of a mode of remedying this evil. It is the vetoing of all bills wa oh oan be granted by the courts, irrespective of the merits of the bills themselves. In doing this the Governor, would be only obeying the provision of the Constitution of the State whioh eapeolally fjrblds the inter ference of the Legislature In any case in whioh the courts Lave power. The immediate eflfeot of a death-blow to this species of laws would be the exoluslon from illegal perquisites of both lobbyists and members, aud the oonse quent withdrawal from the Legislature of the element which disgraces it. The exampls set by Governor Hoffman is one of real mrit, and wo doubt not that it will bavo a beneficial effeot wherever it is adopted. Let Governor Geary examine and imitate the action of Lis brother executive of the Empire State.. Wa are glad to see that the Governor has already been Induced to aot in this manner in the case of tue Kutitown Savings Bank. He vetoed that act last evening, beoausa the court. Lad power to grant tho law. Wo hope that he will not make this an exoeptional vase, but rigorously refuse Lis signature to every suoh speoles of legislation. Another I.carlalntlve Outrun;. Tub citizens of Philadelphia Lave submitted to a great deal from the Legislature, but there is a point where patience ceases to be a virtue; and the boldness and impunity with whioh rascality Las been oarried on at Harrisburg this winter Indicate that it is high time that a determined resistance to legalized outrages should be made, and the politioal jobbers, who misrepresent us at the State capital, should be taught that the people have some reserved rights which even legislators are bound to respect. Mr. Hunt-zey has distinguished him self this session as the ohief engineer of most cf the obnoxious measures urged upon the Legislature, aud his last performance in this line is Bii( h a boll aud infamous invasion of the lights of the cllisna of Philadelphia that the very unblushing impudence of the thing excites our admiration. The measure we allude to is a bill presented ly Mr. HcD8ey to incorporate ''The Commer cial Weighing Company of Philadelphia," and it la proposed to give the said company the right, viifmiit the consent of City Councils, to erect and use public softies upon or in any ttreet in the city of l'hilalelphia; the oom pany to pay into the City Treasury annually the sum of one cent per ton for each ton of coal or other merchandise weighed. All coal fold or delivered from any coal yard, railroad siding, wharf, or landing is to be driven by the owners to the scales provided by the oom pany, and receive a certificate of oorreot weight under a penalty of not less than three and not more than five dollars. The company is to charge a commission not to exceed ten cents per ton for each and every ton of coal or other merchandise weighed, and is to collect the same from the parties selling or delivering, in such a manner as may be provided for in the by-laws of said oompany. The company is to charge ten cents a ton and is to pay the city two cents for the use of the streets a very profitable operation for the stockholders in the concern, certainly; and when it is remembered that the profits are doubled and tripled in tho weighing of the pame articles as they are transferred from time to time, the beauty of the scheme must Btrike every citizen of l'ailadelphia with awe and admiration. We scarcely thiuk it possible that the Legia- 10,'u,0 ua luo ""-ery io pass mis bill now that tu,J aUantlon of the public has been called to it, or tha'. Governor Geary will sign it if it is parsed. Some of the members of the Legiolatute ave desirous of reelection; and while it may be natural that they should desire to make their sojourn in Harrisburg a3 profitable as possible, common prudence would suggest the expediency of not for getting entirely the fact that the people Lave something to say about matters of this kiad as well us the lobby. A few hundred dollars in Land are tempting; but the proverb that "a bird in tho hand is worth two in the bush" docs not hold good iu all cases. the '-Congressional (alobe." The contract with the present publishers of the proceedings of Congress expires on the Cth of March, and both branches of the National Legislature are just now agitating the sub ject of making a change in the business. From a report presented to the Senate by the Printing Committee of that body, it appears that the estimated cost of publishing the pro ceedings of the Forty-first Congress, ino'.uding the Daily Globe, and the bound volumes known as the "Congressional Globe," by Rives & Bailey, the present publishers, will be $38f,4d5. To have the same work done at the Government Printing Office, it is esti mated, will cost (270,405; while Mr. Joseph T. Crowell of New Jersey offers to do tLe work for about f 201,149. If Mr. Crowell is a responsible bidder, tLe job should cer tainly, under these circumstances, be given to Lim, especially as tLe Government Printing Office is already so overloaded with work beyond its capacity that the regular Govern ment documents, valuable and worthless alike, are almost invariably delayed in their publication for months, and frequently for a full year or more. But whatever is done with this branch of the subject, a reform in another direction is certainly demanded. Under the present sys tem, members of Congress have access to the proofs of the Globe, and whenever any one of them Lurla at tLe ears of Lis colleagues a long winded or abusive harangue, he makes it point to drop in at tLe Globe offioe to straighten Lis syntax or ton down Lis asperity. In this way tLe most rambling and dig jointed nonsense Is " twisted into readable Knglisb, and tLe official record of tLe two Louses Is frequently purged of tLe most offensive words wLlcL are uttered In tLem. For the credit of the nation and its legislators, this isoertalnly an advisable privi lege; but the evils attending it are very serious. A member of Congress is thereby enabled to unburden himself after the most ridiculous fashion, aul yet to make a decent chow before Lis constituents and te country at large. While it is actually an impossibility for him to stand on Lis feet and put two sentenoes together aocording to tLe dogmas of Lindley Murray, Le appears before tLe world in tLe light of a man who knows bow to talk good English. Then, again, Le may descend to the very depths of positive blackguardism, and yet appear in the Globe as one of the most amiable and gentle manly of men. This is all wrong. The words that are spoken in Congress should be printed for the world to read just as they are spoken, word for word, without addition or elimina tion. Not until this is done will the oountry be able to measure the capacity and decency of its representatives at Washington. If the true measure of all of them oould be taken, It is quite probable that not a few of them would And their occupation gone. Ill Indian Inlqnltr. That "foul nest of thieves," tho Indian Bureau, is likely to remain intaot for an inde finite period. The Senate yesterday, hr voie oi o io a, rejeotea an amendment to the Indl'n Appropriation bill, proposed by Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, transferring the Bureau from the Interior to the War Depart ment, uenoe tuere Is not the remotest nros pectofan end being put to the wholesale swindling of the Indians and the Government until the Forty-first Congress cets into work Ing order, and not even then, unless a obanire should come over the spirit of the dreams of a score or so of Senators. The diffioultr aa pears to be that the transfer of the Bureau would dislodge from exceedingly warm and profitable berths a Dumber of gentlemen who are intimately associated with oertain Senators by ties of blood or other, aud equally paramouut interests. During the debate whloli preoeded the rejection of the amendment, Mr. Klmuads of Vermont, one of the ablest aud most caudid men in the Senate, stated that, although he had previously voted against the proposed transfer, he "had since obtained further light on the snbejet," for whioh reason La deemed it Lis duty to favor the measure. "Further light" is as accessible to the other Bdnators as to Mr. Edmunds, and it is to be hopd that a few glimpses of the utter rotteuuess of the present Indian system will dawn upon their minds before many more months pass by.
