In the interval the Speaker of the Assembly will have ao opportunity of making up the committees, The New York members, with such of the geutlemen from the country districts as they could induce to joia them, have gone to thecity, and before this you have had tho honor of their company at the Americus Club ball, You havo heard. of remarkable accommodation trains oa Southern railroads, which stopped to allow passengers to get out and pick fruit by the wayside. The present Legisiature is an accommodation Legiglaiure on the same plan, Mr, Tweed and the other Taminanyites who run the machine, or intend to, wished to go to the ball, and the assembled legisiauve wisdom of the Empire State saw no harm in an adjournment to gratily this eminently proper desire. The Legislature of 1563 is acurious one in somo re- spects, and in others will be a very stupid one, A democratic Speaker presides in tho Assembly, backed by a majority of eighteen in a vote of the whole House, It is many years since a democratic Speaker was clected by an entirely democratic majority. This advantage, however, is offset in the upper House, where tho repub- leans are inthe ascendancy. Neither party bas a two- thirds yote, so that a most essential means to prompt and speedy legislation in the matter of *\jobs’’ 13 wanting to each side. In many matters thero will bea ‘dead Jock,” unless the partisans of important measures can contrive to unite enough from both sides to pass them by tho process technically known as “log-rolling”— term, by the way, derived from the primeval pursuits of our early legisiators—wherein, when Smith bad an unusually heavy piece of timber, and Jones ditto, Jones helped Smith to get his log to water, and Smith In turn, very neighborlike, helped Jones. On a joint ballot of both houses the democrats have stil! a majority, apd hence, in the election of some few officera—the Police Commissioners of New York among others—they will be enabled to place their party in power, The Legislature being thus democratic, Tammany Hail bas made a bold push for the control of the whole of its machinery. Tweed bas assumed comman in the teld, aud for chief of staif has the skiiful strat gist, Peter biswarck Sweeny. ihe country members mado an attempt at resistance for a few days, but when tney found they were enureiy powerless to do auything they did the most sensible thing—went over body and boots to fammeny. The election of every officer from Speaker down to doorkeeper was directed by Tain- many, and when a few endeavored Wo be recaicitrant they were quiekly brought to submission, Tammany has the dispensing o: all the legislative patronage of the present sassion, and while some of the members from the upper districts felt inclined to accept no such dictation as tuat which Tweed bas imposed, aud meant to fight out the fight honesty and independenily as democrats, the attraction of the spoils was too great for them, ‘hey saw, as everybody saw from the siart, that tammany had the power, and they knew that in the making up of tbe committees and in such other ar- rangements as ali good legisiators aro desirous uf par- ticipa ing in they would be left severely out in the culd, The Moloch of Tammany was erected and ail fell down to worship. The only opposition which amounted to any/bing aud which had any organization sprang from tha old copperhead democratic spirits, whose funrrai ceremony was performed at your charter eiectiou last Deceuiber. Corpses or skelotous don’t make successful rebels. ‘Tammany, baving thus assumed the reins, issued a Pronunciamiento declaring tts Intention to earn and pro- serve a reputation for spouiess virtuo during the session, Tweed has been around among all the democratic members, and hag taiked to them like # missionary, “Now, boys, no more clyfaking. Let's benave our- seives this year,” A thousand of Greeley’s lectures on the terrible immorality of breaking the seventh com- mandment wouldn’t bave half the converting powers of a few sentences from the Sig Sachem.

Jacob Suarpe has been hanging about the Delavan ever since tue democratic caucus; but not only bas Tweed heid out no bopes for pet scheme, but he bas cruelly asserted w% can’t go throuzh, So it is whit the New York raiiroad bills, the pas- sa. of which would be likely to spoil the present democratic prestige, The frat great move. ment to increase tis advantage contemplates the ropaal of the Excise law and a new one applicable to the Whole State, leaving to the local authorities the adjast- amount for licouse fees, ‘The repub icans gto Make this coucession—indeod, ther Tepent not having moditied the law last winter—and the Gov- ernor will sign the bill, ®0 that no difficulty is appro. hended {rom the want of a majority in the uppor House, They will be hot oppoaeats in ueurly every uther mut- ter—particularly pureiy politicial oves--which may come up for consideration, Ex-Speaker Pitts, the loader of the par: 4 planted bimsell for a square fighs tbrouguout ihe session, and will bea thorn in the democratic #id» whenever be can be so, ibe democrats have, however, been curiously incon- sistent in their professions aud their practice. has been the session, viriuo of an intention to intros very quostiouable kind. of these is to provide for the rebuilding of Washington Market—aa underiaking in iiseif of a most praiseworthy charactor, but ceriaia, under such auspices, to be as prolific a source of cor: ruption and Jobbing as the proverbial new Court House. ‘The other is @ revival of the oid radical scheme of last winter to croate a Wharves and Fiers Commission, which oven the repablican majority dared aot impo: upon New York. But now Tammany bas taken bold Of (he project and 13 t0 force it through, the gift of w fow positions being the bareain by which a majority in both houses is to be secured, The democrats have also starved out with the bauaer ery of retreaciment. On the first day of the session ademocratic motion to cut down the number of officers and hangers-on around the Logisiature was voted dowu ia the Senate by the repab- licax majority. A motion from the republican wide to the samo effvot inthe lower house was vowed down by tho democratic majority.

Why sould tuese ob- structions exist? Why do not the four Messrs, Inspect- ors of Encumbrances, who receive from $1,500 to $2,000 per apnumn, especially to abrogate these annoyances, work with so much spirit that they and all simiur oes should soon be a matier of tue past? True, many of the above obstacles were temporary, and others exist at certain times only; but where sidewalks are encum- bered daring the day, and wagons obstruct the passage of streets during the same time and at night also, there ie but one remedy; that the law whicu has boen so jong a dead tet nould become an animated fact by the unparvial enforcement by those who receive the public moneys for this object alone. ‘The police do not, Or seem bot to observe (he obstructions that dot every business block, as tbey daiy perambulaie past them, Jolling the hours away in mary instances, a4 thousands have noted, Dot iN Lhe pros-cation of these duties, but in tLe more pleasant pastime of laughing with sidewalk loungers, oF kindred spirits of either sex.
