GOVERNOR rI1DKN WORRIED.
The process OF worrying Governor Tden was started
to-day by senator Mccarthy, OF Syracuse The Gov
erDor in his Message asked for an appropriation 10
enable the Attorney General 10 render eectua the in
designations into the canal frauds and especially for
bringing 10 conclusion the actions now IN court The
Governor said that the frauds exposed by the Commits
sion are sheltered by the connvance or completely OF
oihcials whose duty II Is 10 project the State.
Senator Mccarthy, who gives promise OF takinga
leading part IN the proceedings OF the Senate offered
resolution, afer quoting the Governors remarks that
HIS Exceency communicate to the Legislature the
results OF the investigation so lar, the tes-
timony obtained, the objects OF the actions
pending and the OF the officials
charged in completely with frauds against the state
The resolution was adopted with quiet smile of salts
den, said they has been gaining great name
reiormer of the boldest and sncerest type He pre-
tends TO have accomplished wonders with his Canal
Commission. Now we will give him chance 10 show
what he has really done Let him give those
TO which he refers and tell us TO what party they be-
long" After this the the Governor must soon
grow lively One determined effort OF the republicans
is 10 strip him OF his laurels as reformer com
mission TO investigate the Investigators will
in order, and the hope lie wuh the republicans that
they may be able 10 prove the whole canal inquiry a
sad deuson is especially desired that the testi-
: sal Ia var ma
teriay from the reports based IT, and to require
considerable alteration. TO make both harmonize.
There is
that the evidence is being doctored by Secretary
OF State Bgelow. Republicans insist that there
has been earefaced Partially shoTn in the con-
duct OF the investigation, that Jarvis Lord aud
Gated as Belden and Denison, aud yet have
escaped prosecution George d. Lord is not charged
with fraud like the rest, but with bribery.
CASE or rKAYER
The Governor viii have thorny path to travel this
season. In his household OF the democratic faith
he has many who are lukewarm in defending him, and
many who would be glad 10 see his political prospects
irretrievably ruined. The Governor viii most likely
send message TO the Senate next Tuesday informing
that body OF his reasons for suspending Thayer as
Auditor OF the Canal Department On the subject Of
Thayers suspension the republicans feel very sore He
was the only republican ofcial left in the Canal De-
partmcnt, and the democrats have complete
run Of the kitchen. II was an important
and hence the feeling against the Governor. Thayer
demand trial by the Senate bul here arises the
reinstate him and turn out the temporary incumbent
George W. Schuyler. late member of Assembly for
Tompkins? The law is quite indefinite. That which
relates to the power of the Governor the OF
suspending the Auditor Of the Canal Department reads
iollows:-
The Governor may upon the reouison of the Commits
soners Of the Canal Fund suspend the Auditor Of
Canal Department and appoint suitable perform
and thirty days aer The Of any
Of the Legislature II shall be made appear him that the
said Auditor has vioated his in the issue Of
s pos fCs SsrSs @ Ss o. ~ sRe to the pubic
There is nothing said about reinstatement He is
charged with blackmailing contractors, &C but the
ing TO the law, incorporation Of State funds He
on drawing his salary until the end OF his term
for there IS nothing to the contrary IN the statute.
Altogether he occupies quite an anomalous position.
cAvANAcH JACOBS.
Colonel Cavanagh's petition against the right OF
Jacobs TO hold the seat of Senator for the Second dis
trict presented today. IL will be remembered
hatthe original returns gave the seat 10 Cavanaeh by
very small majority Subsequently, the Court assigned
il by few Jacobs Unless Cavanagh makes out
very strong his chances of unseating Jacobs
slim. He Is not regarded as republican who might be
democrat, has the advantage OF long personal
quaIntance with republican Senators, VINO regard him
sort OF good fellow and disposed 10 overlook much
for the sake OF "Auld Lang syne" While the demo-
Gratis would lose active representative the repub
Leans would gain unit with which they are strong

The Honorable John, Senator by the voice Of labor

vided there is imitation OF the currency

Kelly and Tammany Hall and changed the whole face
OF New York politics settled for good and for ave- He
proposes that in future the Common Council alone
shall determine the compensation OF laborers, and the
matter be taken out OF the hands Of the heads Of de-
partments provided the Of the wages shall

graceful and appropriate thing the part OF the Sen

enemies, brought triumph TO HIM.
