Interesting Intelligence Trouble among the Demo-
cacy-Gag La,c-General Jackson's Fne-Nec
York and Erie Railroad SC. SC.
Samuel Jones and Michael Ulshoeffer were to-day
appointed Judges Of the Common Pleas A long
list of appointments for some of the western coun-
ties. The Governor is going into the work with
zeal, and few more days Of such work will leave
but few more appointments to be made. The prison
officers for the State prison at Auburn, have been
appointed, and those for Sing Sing are to follow in
a day or two.
This has been an exciting day in both branches
of the Legislature. In the Assembly demonstra-
tion was made by one of the subterraneans in the
conservative or reasonable democracy" as they
style themselves, during the debate on the bank
commissioners bill. 1t was from Mr.. L. Sherwood,
of the county of Madison, and was mainly in reply
to the speech of General Davis, on the same ques-
ton. delivered day or two since. This speech of
Mr. Sherwood's was most bitter and severe, and
created no small excitement. He alluded to the
legislature of 1886, which created some ten millions
of banking capital, and which was styled by Gene
raj Davis, as a " reasonably democratic one" in
terms of the most unmeasured denunciation, and
secuted the idea OF It's democracy. He avOwed his
determination to speak his own sentiments at all
times freely, and at all hazards and ridiculed the
idea advanced by some men-men who were any
thing but what they claimed to be, democrats that
by so doing the integrity of the party would be
dangered. He said there was no danger of that
the bank conservatives would stick to the demo-
cratic party as long as there was any thing to be had
like burs to the fleece of a sheep. He said these
men were the cause Of the recent overthrow Of the
democratic party in this State. They started off
with their leaders, Rlves and others, but they
stopped at sort of hallway house, when they
thought they saw storm gathering, and afterwards
reJoined the party, there to destroy It II they were
permitted TO rule the roast as they wished and now
sought to do. He avowed himself supporter of Gov
Bouck, as long he supported the principles on
which he elected, and no longer and considered
II one OF the most radical principles OF the democracy
to strip the Executive of all possible Influence. He
was particularly severe on banks in general, which
he styled rotten and corrupt institutions &c &c.
The wings are chucking nightly over this speech,
and think they perceive in it the evidence of grow
ing dissention IN the ranks of the democracy. Gen
Davis has the floor, and will reply to Mr.. Sherwood
tomorrow, when we shall hear the other side of
the question. General Davis is no small antago-
nis and an equally bitter and severe reply may be
expected.
On the commencement of to-day's sitting in the
Assembly, quite breeze was kicked up by the
wings, on account ofwhat they considered the en-
forcement OF the gag yesterday on the vote on the
resolutions relative to the fine of General Jackson.
Mr. Willis Hall, and others, insisted that they were
not hostile to repayng the fine to General Jackson,
but az no time was allowed them for consideration,
they were obliged to give the votes, which they
did under protest, and this last fact they wished
stated on the journals. After considerable debate,
this motion was put down.
In the Senate after the reports OF committees
had been received, all succeeding orders OF bust
ness laid the table, and the bill to aid in the
construction Of the New York and Erie Rail Road
was taken up. Mr. FOSTER brought in amendment,
striking out all after the first two sections and SUBJ
stiutng others similar in substance, but move
guarded in any expression of the State taking up
the works session was held at four o'clock,
when, after considerable debate, and the rejection
of several amendments, among which was one to
make the road State work, by vote of 5 TO Il,
the bill was adopted in committee of the whole, &C;
cepted by the House, and ordered to be engrossed
for third reading, by vote of Is too. The title
was then amended so as to read An act in rela-
ton to the New York and Erie Rail Road,' in
stead of " An act to 'aid' in the construction &c.
And the Senate adjourned. SIMON.
