Trenton. Marrh ll.-The lawyera are aa far a?
ever from agreeing on the JudMary CoostltU
tlonal amendments. Senator Voorbaea la a strong
bellever ln the plan prepared by Colllna and O-r
bln. with the changes made by Frank Rergen.
and he wlll try to push that
Oovernor Grlggs la favorable to the blennlal
eesstons propoaltion. It ls right ln llne with hi?
recommendatlon to restrlot the leglslative out
put, and b<-sldes it is estlmated that the State
wlll save $100,000 every other year by the change.
That blll to uncover the police protectlon of
the Mgruea_O0-_-M gwtadlon ln Jersey City has
p*ae?d both House.- and now goes to the OOT
ernor. After lt become* a law an Immedlate and
searchlng lnvestigatlon should be made.
The flght over the Anti-Trolley Frelght bill has
developed a pecullar condltlon of affairs In the
attltude of the Pennsylvnnla Railroad Company.
That corpiratlon naturally does not wlsh to en
c-rurage frelght competlilon on the part of trolley
companleo. but there are some of its heavy Btock
holders who an more deeply Intereated ln trolley
proaperity and a few are dolng all they can to
protect the trolleys from belng blocked out on
the frelght buslness._
A number of lawyers ln Burllngton County
asked Charles C. Hendrickson. ihe other day.
whether or not he proposed to continue practislng
law after taking hls place on the Court of Errors
and Appeals. He refused to satlsfy thelr curloa?
lty. Now they want the Senate to reject his name.
There ls a strong surrplclon here that the oppoel
Uon is realty a renewal of the old flght between
Governor Abbetl and ex-t'ongressman Smlth.
who are both dead. I'nles* Senator I'arry ob
Jects the nomlnatlon wlll be approved by the
Senate.
Lobbyists from the Kearny thread mllls were
ln the Capitol to-day trylng to push along the
blll annexlng Harrison and Kearny to Eaaex
OOunty, and they almost succeeded ln gettlng the
blll out ot commlttee. Assemblyman Queen,
Mayor Wansc-r and other representatives of Hud
ton County were alert, however. and they suc
ceeaed ln havlng a hearlng flxed for next Mon?
day afternoon.
Before this Le-glslature adjourns it mlght be
well to pass a law abollshing the absurd and
antiquate.i system of havlng bills engrossed. The
-..rk could be done better, cheaper and more ex
pedltlously by printlng.
Lawyan who ought to know better say that
they have serlous doubts as to Senator Voorhees's
ellgiblllty for tha offlce of Chancery Clerk under
this clause of the constltutlon:
"No member of the Senate or General Assembly
ahall, durlng the time for whlch he was elected.
be nomlnated or appolnted by the Governor. or by
the Leglalature in Jolnt meetlng. tO any clvll of
floa under the authority of thls State whlch shall
bave been created. or the emoluments whereof
shall have been Increased, durlng such tlme."
Of course. anybody knows that* the emoluments
of the Chancery Clerk have been decreased. not
Increased. The special plea of the critlcs ls that
the State does not now pay the offlclal any
thlng, while the new law requlrea an annual
ealary of $6,000. The purpose of that paragraph
ln the constltutlon was plainly mad- to prevent
legialators lncreaslng salarles for thelr own bene
fit. In the case of the chancery clerkship there
has been a materlal and substantial reductlon
of salary. _
The passage of the blll abollshing l?y Judges Is
ln accordanco with a pledge of the Republlcan
party. Whlle the Democrats COntroUed the ap
jaointlng power there was a steady outcry fr >m
Kepublicans against paylng salarles to "wooden
Judges" ln every county in the State. and the
abolition of these useless appendages was among
the reforms promlsed as a result of Republlcan
suecess. The party wlll lose a lot of patronoge,
save the State $10,000 and fulfil a solemn promlse.

The Jersey Clty police have ln custody a colored
prlr-oner who was arrested for frtghtening women
ln the stre.t. There is a vague au.-picion that the
prls.r.er may have been the aasallant of Mlss Sul
llvan, who was kllled at Paterson. The fellow con
fesaed ta having been in Paterson, and betrayed
greal narrousneaa when queatloned by Chlef of Po?
lice Murphy. The prlsoner la Hlchard Scott, twenty
six yeara old, who. when arreated, sald he llved ln
Klghty-second-st., New-York, but who later posl
tlvely declared that he had arrlved from the South
only a few wceks ago. and that hls home waa at
No. 1.110 North Seventeenth-st., Rlchmond, Va.
' Scott's arrest waa made at the inatance of John
H. Crawford, a special offlcer. Crawford waa in a
grocery atore at Summlt-ave. and Newklrk-st.. Jer
mey Clty, late on Tueaday nlght. when an affrlghted
woman entered and asked to be allowed to remaln
there untll a pollceman paaaed. aa a negro had BC
COSted and followed her, and ahe aought refuge tn
the store. fearlng that the fel'.ow mlght assault her.
Crawford saw the negro walking up Summlt-ave.
and followed hlm. He saw two women run acros*.
the str.et as Scott met them, but he dld not attempt
to follow them. A ahort dlstance further the negro
met another woman nnd evldently spoke to her. for
Bhe uttered a suppressed shrlek and alM darted
acroaa tha street. Near sin-ave. the negro atepped
in the BhadOW of a tree and jumped at another
woman U she passed. She returned and ran up the
avenue. The n-g.ro did not pureue her but turned
??? I ahouted at I'rawford that he would gel hlmseir
Into trouble lf he dld not cease foilowing hlm.
Crawford shadowed Bcott untll he met Bergeani
Bulllvan to whom he told whal ha.l happened. i ne
Scrgeani arreated Bcotl us a dlaorderly person.
rhlef Murphy senl for the prlsoner Yoalerauy
mornlng and questloned htrn cloaely for aa bouror

thal he showed palpable signs of fear when aaked lf
