THE LEGISLATURE.


These officers are decidedly heightened r.
Democrats being judges. A prominent Dem
eerat day or two since told us that the
Speaker was Tipperary Trishman who WASH
temperance man by a mile one of the other
officers was whiskey disiiler another was
the proprietor of gin mill in Jersey City,
and third was in some way connected with
the whiskey business-either practiced at the
bar or behind it. Still another is said to be
an adept at the sweat-cloth." This Demo
erat was decidedly disguised. If bis state
