The new constitution which was adopted by the inhabitants ol the Stale of New Jersey a few years ago. forbids special legislation, and declare, that all laws most tie uniform and of equal force and virtue in all parts of the Suie. While the principle which under. Bee this provision of the cooetllatlon it s good one in every sense of the word, yet ' in Us practical workings it has been found to be a barrier In . the way of legislation for the hast interest! of many cities of our Stale.

MBty. Per tnsiaooe. it baa been found that anode of lawa eoitable for the govern, meal of Newark or damdeo, would be practically useless for the government ol Oape May or Atlantic City. The dliea of the State have therefore fallen hack upon their charters for lawful authority to regulate municipal affaire.
