One of the first cases that went to the Court of Appeals after the de- cision in the quarter-sale case before described, was that of Van Rens- selaer vs. Ball in 1858. In the decision in that case the right of the manor proprietors, or purchasers of their interest, to maintain actions of ejectment was put upon a statute passed by the Legislature in 1805, authorizing grantors of lands to have the same remedies for the recov- ery of rent as if the reversion had remained in them; this opinion was written by Judge Denio, who then proceeded to apply the statutes of landlord and tenant to the cases. This decision so shocked the public conscience that the Legislature of 1860 repealed the statute of 1805, so far as conveyances executed after that time were concerned. After that statute was repealed the feudal rent litigation was renewed, and other cases which had passed through the lower courts were carried to the Court of Appeals where they were decided in 1863. That court then took new ground and held that the statute of 1805 was not neces- sary to the maintenance of the actions, but that the statute of 1846 abolishing distress for rent (a statute passed in the interest of landhold- ers) supplied the place of the statute of 1805; this opinion was written by Judge Henry R. Selden. After relying on the statute of 1846, as
.
118
Judge Denio had on that of 1805, to sustain the actions, Judge Selden undertook to uphold them on the strength of an opinion expressed by Sugden in his work on Vendors and Purchasers, and on a few contro- verted English cases. But neither Sugden nor the disputed cases even hint that there can be a forfeiture of land for non-payment of rent, out- side of the relation of landlord and tenant. It may be broadly and safely stated that no case can be found, English or American, where re entry, or ejectment for default in the payment of rent, has been had or allowed, except where the relation of landlord and tenant existed, or was supposed to exist. Of the eight judges of the Court of Appeals at the time Judge Selden wrote his opinion in 1863, it is noticeable that two of the most distinguished refused to share in the decision. Upon that remarkable decision hung all the later merciless exactions of the proprietors or purchasers of their interest, against the landholders and the many instances of dispossession and suffering with which citizens of Albany county are familiar, and for which space cannot here be spared. The working of this injustice has thus been pictured by Andrew J. Colvin, who has given much study to the matter:
Ejectment suits are brought to recover one year's rent claimed to be due-gener- ally the last year-and recovery of possession of the farm for non-payment. The landholder, on prosecution, goes to the office in Albany to pay the year's rent sued for, and the costs of the action. Payment will not be accepted unless he will also pay all rents claimed to be in arrear; it may be for fifteen or twenty, perhaps thirty years. The landholder remonstrates on the ground, as often hap- pens, that he has only owned the farm a few years, and should not be asked to pay longer than he has owned. He is told that that makes no difference : the farm is lia- ble, no matter who may have been the owner, and he must pay all rents claimed or lose the farm. On inquiry as to the amount claimed, he is startled to learn that it exceeds the value of the farm, perhaps, with all the buildings and other improve- ments. That result is brought about by charging the fullest prices for the wheat, the fat fowls, and the days' service with carriage and horses, with annual accumula- tions of interest on each. It is the old story ; the successors of the old patroon chas- tised the landholders with whips; the adventurers chastise them with scorpions.
This depressing subject may be concluded with the following sug- gestive statement of claims made upon the Board of Supervisors for services in the anti-rent difficulties rendered as late as 1866 :

Of the history of the thirty years that have passed since the close of the war there is little to record that is not found in later chapters. The population of the county in 1870 has already been stated as 133,052; that of the city at that date, 69,422. The increase in the next decade brought the number of inhabitants in the county to 154,890, and in the city to 90,758. In 1890 these figures had reached respectively 164, 555, and 94,923. There has been a considerable increase since that year, the census of 1892 showing the population of the county to be 167,289, and of the city, 97,120. While these are substantial gains it must be recorded that most of the towns in the county have during the period under consideration, lost slightly in population, while the cities and large villages have gained. This result is observable in most counties of the State and in many other States.
By an act of the Legislature passed April 19, 1867, the Albany and Schenectady Railroad was incorporated, and authorized to construct a railroad on the Albany and Schenectady turnpike and Washington avenue, in Albany, the cars of the company to be propelled by horses or dummy engines. The promoters of the project abandoned it.
The Boston and Albany Railroad was chartered November 3, 1870, for the consolidation of lines constructed many years earlier. The new company effected a combination of the Western Railroad Corporation, established by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in March, 1833; the Castleton and New Stockbridge Railroad Company, incorporated in this State May 5, 1834, the name of which was changed May 5, 1836, to the Albany and West Stockbridge Railroad Company. On November 11, 1841, a permanent contract was made for the operation of the last named road by the Western Corporation. On May 24, 1867, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts passed an act consolidating the Western Railroad Corporation with the Boston and Worcester Railroad Company. Further legislation by Massachusetts and New York within the next three years effected the consolidation of the Boston and Al-
120
bany Company, the Albany and West Stockbridge Company and the Hudson and Boston Company, under the name it now bears, the Bos- ton and Albany. The road is an important factor in the transporta- tion facilities of Albany county.
An act of the Legislature of April 6, 1870, annexed small parts of the towns of Bethlehem and Watervleit to the city of Albany. The boundaries of these sections may be found in the session laws of that year.
During this period considerable legislation was enacted affecting the Albany county Board of Supervisors, some of the acts of which board also possess more than ordinary interest. On April 13, 1857, the office of supervisor was made a salaried office, the annual salary being fixed at $100 and the usual traveling fees. InMay, 1871, this salary was raised to $350 and has so remained. In the year 1875 the powers of supervisors were considerably enlarged, particularly in re- spect to their control of county property, their agency in the erection of county buildings, etc. On the 14th of May, 1878, the term of office of supervisors was extended to two years, the act taking effect at the first election of 1879.
In the proceedings of the board for 1863, the county clerk reported that in pursuance of a previously adopted resolution of the board, the work of reindexing of mortgages had been completed covering the period from 1856 to 1863, and condensing what had filled eight books into two, for which his charges were $10, 623.
During the session of 1864 when several calls for troops had recently been made and a draft seemed imminent, the board took prompt and liberal measures for the payment of large bounties, that a draft might be avoided. At that time there had been almost $2,000,000 disbursed in the county for bounties. The amount of bonds issued during the war period was $2,540,200. The county budget in 1865 was $766,- 094.89, or nearly double what it was at the beginning of the war. This sum was gradually decreased to a little more than $500,000 within a few years, but recently it has increased again to more than the figures above given. By resolution of the board adopted November 21, 1871, resulting from a communication received from several leading lawyers and judges, the salary of the county judge of Albany county was raised to $5,000.
On the 15th of April, 1887, a law was passed making provision for
121
the erection of an Armory in Albany. This resulted in the splendid structure now in use, which is more fully described in a later chapter. In the following year (1888) an act was passed by the Legislature ap- propriating $25,000 from the State funds for an armory in Cohoes, provided a suitable site was furnished by the supervisors.

State Senators .- There have been many changes in the senatorial divisions of this State. Under the first Constitution the Senate con- sisted of twenty-four members apportioned among four large districts. An additional senator was to be added whenever it was shown by a septennial census, that the number of electors in a district had increased one twenty-fourth, continuing thus until the number reached one hundred. The census of 1795 made the number forty-three. This arrangement was soon proven to be unequal in its operation and in 1801 the Constitution was amended so as to fix the number of senators at thirty-two, which number remained unchanged until the Constitution of 1894 went into effect, January 1, 1895. The Constitution of 1821 divided the State into eight senatorial districts, each of which was enti- tled to four senators, one being elected each year for a term of four years. Under the Constitution of 1846 the State was divided into thirty- two districts, in each of which a senator was elected each odd year. Albany county formerly constituted the 13th district, later the 17th, and finally the 19th. By the Constitution of 1894, the State was divided into fifty senatorial districts, of which Albany county composes the 29th. The senators chosen in 1895 hold office for three years while
125
their successors are to be chosen for but two years. Following is a list of Senators from this county :

Members of Assembly .- The State Assembly originally consisted of seventy members, which could be increased one with every seventieth increase in the number of electors, until it reached 300 members. When the constitution was amended in 1801 the number had reached 108; it was then reduced to 100, with provision for an increase after each census at the rate of two annually until the number reached 150. The constitution of 1821 fixed the number permanently at 128, but the number was increased by the Constitution of 1894 to the present num- ber, 150, each of whom is elected, as has always been the case, for one year. Under the various apportionments since 1801 Albany county has had in 1802, six members; in 1815, four; in 1822, three; since that year it has had four members.
