JUDGE SAVAGE.
There is some cavilling between the Albany

the latter spoke OF Judge ). when announcing his
intention TO decline the appointment of Treasurer

Chronicle in commenting upon the paragraph, de-
clares:
But we are authorized, by Chief Justice sa-
wage himself to-say, that this article inserted
I'm the Argus, not only without bis having been
consulted in relation TO it, but entirely without his
knowledge, consent or appreciation.
We know that between Mr.. Adams and Gene !
