ENCAMPMENT.
Trenton n j., MAY 1o.-There is a lot Of unavallng
talk over the next campaign for Governor, although
the election does not until the fall OF 1872 Iheie
seems to be a particularly strong desire among the
Democrats to know who is to succeed Governor ADDett
and it has been stated by Democrats Of authority that
conferences Of the bosses have already been held
has all along been supposed that Senator WertS was
in the direct line Of succession and that when the time
arrived he would step ont OF the Senate into the
executive chair without any trouble whatever III Is
by no means certain that this plan has been abandoned
and Mr. Wers evidently thinks 1t has not; but there
are many indications of trouble among the bosses and
q disposition to treat Mr. Wertss claims lightly Is
manifested by such potentates Of the Democracy
as James Smith, IT, OF Essex Andrew Kirkpatrick,
Judge Of the Essex Common Pleas Is said to he MI.
smiths candidate senator AdInin Is also mentioned.
He comes from the district ruled by the DUDE OF
MIddlssex Miles Ross. E. F. C.. Young, OF Jersey
City, Ia again brought forward He was the railroad
candidate for the place when Governor Albeit was
nominated, and there are shrewd men who say that
he will be nominated next year. and that Albeit Will
20 to the United States Senate unopposed as con-
sequence. The reason why the matter comes up so
much earlier than usual is that the Office is OF super
advc importance to the party now. The powers have
been enormously increased and not only the State
offices with autooratic control, but In violation Of
Democratic principle, give the Governor prevailing
influence over local affairs in the big cities. The
Assembly redistricting has made the Democrats CON
adent Of holding the Legislature; but to lose the Gov
ernorship now would put them in the worst possible
position The Republicans simply waiting to
how their opponents develop their game.
Complaint OF the juries heard from all parts Of the
state In Essex County, In Camden and especially in
Hudson the feeling is strong The recent miscarriage
Of Justice IN the McDernit in Essex has caused
speolaI criticism the that Judge Depue had Just
previously declared he wanted nothing 10 do with
the panel in tire trial Of civil cases. In Hudson Judge
Knapp hos lectIred the Grand Jury with severity.
The law for Jury commission, Independent Of politics,
was in force for year and the effects We're good but
the act was defeated by the Democratic Legislature
and the power Of selecting jurors restored 10 the shers
The campaign against the speculative beneficial
orders has going actively in the lover part Of
the State and several OF the fraudulent concerns have
been obliged to close out Proceedings against Others
have been taken by the Insurance Commissioner, and
in Camden the Grand Jury will be asked to take action
upon some Of the wost cases.
While handling this matter Of beneficial" orders
tire Legislature Is pretty certain 20 be called upon to
alter the laws In reference TO business corporations
The developments in the New York Senate inquiry and
the placid statements of interested parties that New
Jersey is 50 much easier in tax laws and In its method
Of supervising great corporations that they naturally
ny hfther have attracted general attention 1t is seen
that while it may be desirable to attract caplta by
favorable laws, there is reason why capital should
escape taxation because ii is in corporate FORM and
that while the loose corporation laws may be handy
for the legitimate companies they are alse extremely
encouraging 10 wildcat enterprises.
