known all oyor tho state us a. gen

ost integrity. Col. Low is North
ern man, and bears q very high
character both for honesty and
capacity. Mr.. Cavendor is an OK.
cellent business man and his repu
tation for uprightnoss is said to be
quite good. Altogether, tho gov
ernor seems to have made n most
excellent choice, and VIC feel as.
sured that no claims will pass the
board without first undergoing a
most rigid scrutiny.
1t will be remembered TINT the
legislature, at it's last session.
passed bill similar to that unCer
which tho present commissioner 8
aro appointed. Among other OBJ
jectionable features, tho bill named
the commissioners-thrce indiyitlu
ais, at least two Of whCm had not

governor vetoed that bill, and tho
legislature passed the present one,
which is free from tho obnoxious
provisions. The commissioners
