Municipal Corporations.?Seuutor Cochrau has introduced an important bill iu the Senate. It is intended to provide for the incorporation of towns and villuges aud for the government of the same. The bill is quite leugthy, and the effect of its passage will bo to savo the State the expenso of printing incorporation bills from every little cross-road store iu the country, und to shorten the sessions of tho Legislature. It provides that whenever two-thirds of the inhabitants of any part of auy Couuty, not embraced within tbe limits of any incorporated city, town or village, shall desire to become organized into an incorporated village or town, twenty uf the qualified voters may apply by petition, iu writing, to ths Clerk of Court of the County iu which said town is to be located. The petition shall set forth tho mutes and bounds of the proposed incorporated town, and have annexed to it an ac? curate map or plan thereof; tho num? ber of qualified voters residing within the proposed limit.-.; tho name pro? posed for such towu, and the namo of the person or persons authorized to act in behalf uf the petitioners iu prose? cuting the petition. The Clerk of the Court must appoint n day for hearing tho petition in publie, and upon being satisfied that not less than thirty qualified voters reside in the limits de? scribed und that two-thirds of them have signed tbe petition, rauy issue u charter of incorporation. Iu case the Clork refuses to grunt the petition, the petitioners may appeal to the Circuit Judge. The Act goes on to describe tba rights, duties and privileges uf the municipality so chartered, und sets fortu tit(i manner of conducting elec? tions. Tut question ?.:f grunting liquor licenses is left to the qualified voters of the town, to be determined at the auuuul elcetiuu for Towu Council, l'he most prominent feature of the bill is coutaiued in Section 14, which provides that nil elections for innuiui pal officers shall be conducted under tho cumulative system of voting. In all towns where the yearly Iraflic iu cotton exceeds 1.000 bales, the Town Council shall appoint a public weigher. Tho Town Clerk or Treasurer is re? quired to make semi-annual reports of the nuances. After prescribing the duties und powers of tho officers aud regulating the manner of grauting licenses, the final section enacts "that all corporations which existed when the present Constitution of this State took effect, or which now exist under tho provisions thereof, by virtue of any Act of the Legislature, for the purposes of municipal government, and described by any law now iu force, as towns and villages, shall be, aud they ure hereby, organized iuto towns, aud incorporated villuges, with tho territorial limits to them respectively prescribed or belonging, iu the manner following: AU such municipal corpora? tions as iu auy such law are denomi? nated towns, shall bo deemed towns;! all those denominated villages, shall be, deemed villages; to be respectively go | verned as towns, or as incorporated villages, for general and special pur? poses, as provided iu this Act; aud all Acts now of force, for tho organization or govornmout of any such municipul corporations, shall be, and are hereby, repealed: Prov?lcti, That any such re peal shall not bar, or destroy, any right of property, action e>r prosecu? tion which may bo vested, or exist, at the time this Act takes effect." 13('.sini-.ss in Nmv YoiiK.?New York i dry goods houses report business r.low with the commission people.
