The idea of reforming the vices of such Con-
stitution by the tedious process OF Legislative

From our regular Correspondent,
ALBANY, January Q, 1911,
Another collection of " grave and reverend slg-
niors will assemble in the Capitol to-day, TO as
tonish the good people of this State with displays
of ,napproachnble wisdom, pathos and verdancy-

RURp of St. Lawrence, as Chairman, with SANFORD
of your city, and GoRHAM of Otsego, as Secretaries.
On the first ballot, victory decided, unmistakable
victory, perched upon the banners of the Old
Hunkers.'' The vote stood for LITcHF1ELD DO,
HorrMAN IS, scattering 2. Then came the tug OF
war. For Clerk, II. N. WALES, the late Clerk was
in the field, fully panoped for the conflict; but,
unfortunately for him, the odor of the State Hall
WAS found in his skirts In other words, he held
elerkship under FLAGG, and was therefore set down

forward JAMES r. ROSE, oar defeated candidate Tor
the Assembly at the last Election; E. j. PORTER OF
your city, who might better have staid at
home and saved his passage money, and BENJAMIN
WEIGH, the radical ofthe Utica Democrat were also
candidates, but neither of them made much of
raise. On the third ballot, ROSE came out top of
the heap, having nine majority. WALES and hls
barnburning friends felt outrageously mad at this
result but they will be obliged to stand 1t.
ROSE is a young man of respectable talents,
and If he chooses, can make q very good Clerk.
Time will tell. This result, so unexpected and SO
nortifying to the " Barnburners," is the work OF

Chamber, and nominated SAMUEL STEVENS, OF Al
bany for Speaker; GEORGE w. WEED, of this ci,y
for Clerk; DANIEL H. BROMLEY, for Sergeans-at-
Arms and ELISHA w. JENKINS for Door-kecper.
Gye Hon. JoHN c. SPENCER, it seems now to
be generally conceded, viii be Mr., Tylcr's nom.
inee for the place.of Judge Thompson. This we
have anticipated from the first. Thereupon sun
dry journals are discussing recsst OF the entire
Cabinet, making Mr. Henshaw Secretary of the
Treasury. and bringing In Coy. Shannon of Chic
or Mr. Wise as Secretary of the Navy. Others
make a different deal. 1t strikes that i, nay
be as we'll to await the .senate's action IN the
matter of the Judgeship.
Mr.. Spencer's name, we suppose, was sent in to
the Senate yesterday.
