LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

LUJhE E:s ELLIuEHUE.

ing about the Capitol yesterday were not
numerous. A lively little wrestling match
for the position of State Gardener attracted

techer says there is no personal inharmony
in the Board whatever, and that all the dit
ferences are those Of judgment as to the
best policy to be pursued. The opponents OF
Mr. Stoneman's bill object to it as not com
Prehensive enough. 4 bill will be introduced
to day in both Senate and Assembly which.
it Is thought, viii so the extent required
1t will provide Tor the organization of
the Commission by fixing the salar-
les, providing for clerk and fixing
his salary, declaring who shall serve
the process Of the Commission, and generally
giving it the means of proceeding with its
work. Some popular error exists as to the
functions Of the Commission and the neces-
sary legislation to set it into operation. The
facts are that the Constitution expressly linn
its legislative interference with the Commits
sion. 1t provides that the Legislature may
confer "such further powers on the Com
mission as shall be necessary to enable it to
perform the duties enjOined on it. The Com
mission is branch Of the Government, pos
sessing independent legislative, executive and
judicial powers, and standing on an equality
with the other departments of State Govern
ment.
