Governor Parker, OF New Jersey, has been known
the whole country over as the war Governor. He
was steadfast opponent OF the 'Let US have
peace candidate He Is in chronic state OF per-
turbation over tribes When his message to the
Legislature was purloined he was angry, very
angry with the press for being "t0o s0On," but
when he saw the names he supposed should be
kept for a time at least dead secret, in yester-
days HERALD, he shook his shaggy locks and de-
clared war hencefsrth against that journal.
The representative Of the HERALD was notified Of
the disastrous consequences that must ensue, and
the reporter is accordingly about to transfer his
d0micile to spot two miles outside the city OF
Trenton there to remain till the anger OF the great
Joel OF Monmouth is appeased. One serious effect
OF the publication OF the names was change OF
base which the Governor was compelled TO adopt.
he was approached by several prominent men,
who denounced some OF the nominations II was
combination OF lawyers and railroad men against
the agricultural, commercial, manufacturing, edu-
catonal and all other interests OF the State, and
such 1t virtually remains. Yielding to the press
ure, however, he cast to the whale the following
son, Jacob vanatta, Senator Williams and Dudley
8. Gregory.
The amended list OF gentlemen to frame amend
ments to the State constitution Is as fOllows:-
First Congressional district, BENJAMIN Carter, SAM
uel II, Gray Second district, Chief Justice Beasley,
john Bah Fourth Matn Ryerson
Jacob L. Swayze; Filth district, Senator Cutler.
Benjamin 7. Buckley; Sixth district, Chancellor
| RunyOn, Senator Taylor; seventh district, ex-
Chancellor Zabrlskie, Attorney General Gilchrist
| The Senate met OF twelve O'Clock and went into
.ttxync tSn
! going nominations, but, recess being taken, they
were not acted upon till two O'Clock In the after
No other business WA" was transacted, and the most
noble Senators incontinenty bundled up their
papers and started to the railway depot for home.
| Among those who led the van in this rush Senator
shepherd was conspicuous. HERALD reporter
kept up lively gait to overtake him, but was left
ever, and set forth the very reasonable
proposition that IL he had any disclosures to make
thereon the HERALD would publish it plain and
unvarnished. The following conversation then
Have you any objection to state your position
.We, ali | can say is that time win bring out
.'Bnt have you nothing to say in your own be-
II win think over the matter, and may set
''The term Of Court is fast approaching, and
aon't you think that this is the most seasonable
II will think over it, after pause.) But sup.
| pose nothing should come out OF it, can't then
| have statement publishedS"
| "YOur statement will not then be necessary, for
the press Will have possession OF all the facts in the
case even without your permissiOn.n
As the Senator was very unwilling to communi-
cate anything the reporter entered the opposite
camp and ascertained that proofs strong as Holy
Writ are forthcoming against somebody. The
"Natonal' men are as perpleXed about the affair
as the Tom Scott men and will use every expedi-
ent to effect compromise OF some kind. How
they can achieve that in charge OF
| this deep criminal dye does not seem at
all trfing. On Shepherds side it is charged that
the "NatiOnal' men prOffered brides and there Is
not doubt OF IT., and that whatever he did in his
/ dealings with that class was done at the sugges-
tion OF Senator who is Tom Scott's brgadier gen
eral, to place the socalled free railroad men In q
| fix. On the other side it is charged, and will be
proven in good time, that committee OF tive from
shepherds district was constantly in Trenton to
conduct negotiations on behalf OF third party
and Of q character the reverse Of legal or honor
able. The trial, II 1t takes place. will develop some
facts Of q positively startling character.
