Militia Called Ont

BUFFALO, N. Y. Aug. 15.-The only
event that relieved the daylight monot-
ony OF events on the Buffalo & South
western yesterday, was little episode
which occurred next to the lumber yard
just east of the Elk street crossing.
About 4:3O p. m. an engine was pulling
q freight train into the city when twenty
or thirty of the striking switchmen
came up from behind the lumber yard,
boarded the cars. set the brakes, stalled
the train, pulled the coupling pins,
threw pins and links into stagnant
pool at the side Of the track and disap.
peared. The engineer ran down to a
crossing, got new supply of pins and
links, and hauled the train in with po-
licemen on, every ear. .
One OF the strikers said he would to-
morrow morning prefer charges against
three policemen who had boarded a
train and set the brakes to frustrate the
work of the switchmen. The two Buff
falo switchmen stationed in Buffalo
Creek junction were ordered out by
the union to-day. Others stationed at
Seneca street adopted q like course of
action
The Sixty-dfth regiment has been

The Legislature.

The leading members of the gen.
eral assembly that adjourned last
Wednesday morning met eight weeks
ago with a pretty clear idea of the
work they had come to do. They
have come nearer than legislators
are wont to do to a realization of hopes
awakened. 1t was good legislature.
1t did some very good positive work,
and some it did indifferently well; it
prevented the doing of some very posi-
tive evil work, and so in negative way
it acted wisely for the states best in
terests. Some few things it did which,
as we view them, will be injurious, but
the lawmakers as a body have so much
to their credit it would be ungracious
to point out an unfortunate fly that may
be suffering in the ointment of the
general satisfaction.
Our readers have been well informed
as to the worthy measures that have
been enacted and the bad measures that
have been defeated, and they should be
measurably familiar with our estimate
of the rank and character of the various
propositions it has been proposed to
build into the laws of the state. We
have been fairly outspoken in our ad-
Vocacy or opposition to the questions
we have discussed. The general result
the WATcHMAN regards with satisfac.
ton.
Governor Fuller has indicated the
wisdom of the choice OF the freemen Of
the state. He has gone about his du
ties in quiet, unassuming way, disarm
ing the prejudices of super heated
campaign, making new friends and con
firming the faith and confidence of thu
old ones. In his methods, business
system and military precision appear
Every thing he does is we'll done ant
done in season, without fret or haste
Over all is a clear intelligence, goo

sense and sound judgment A digni-
fed, affable and popular chief magis-
trate is Governor Fuller.
Lieutenant. Governor Stranahan has
won golden opinions in the chair of the
senate's presiding officer. He is at
ease in his official station, presides
with grace and quiet dignity, having
always the air of man who knows just
what he is about. His self-possession,
business efficiency, entire familiarity
with the duties of the chair, with fine
presence and strong cast of features,
render him most admirable head of
the small but mighty senate, and are
displayed to fine advantage in the
larger arena of the joint assembly.
Speaker Stickney was born to fill the
chair TO which he was unanimously
elected. His coup d'etat in the matter
of the appointment of the committees
showed the stuff he is made of. That
remarkable feat was no squirt. He has
sustained, indeed has added new luster
to, his record every week of his occu
paucy of the chair. He has kept the
house business trundling. There has
never been a blockade on his desk. In
the despatch of business he has daily
run limited express. He isn't so hand
some as his official superior Of the
senate, but he gets there just the same.
Speaker Siickney can read his title
clear to the official headship of the
house so long as he chooses to hold it.
