Pomaoroy, who moved to-day, After consultation with the best Inwyers here, nelvding Chief~Judge Folger, of the Court of Apupeals, Gov, Cornell found that the notification of the Senatorinl resig- natlons sent to the Assembly on Monday evening did not meet the requirements of the law, and that the Senate mustalso be given oflicial notlce of the fact before an election could be had to fill the vacancles, Accordingly, after adelay of three days, he sent the following communiention to Loth branches of the Legislature this morning, al- though the Assumbly had been previously notitied: £ To tne Leghlature: Tha Texislaturoe Is heroby r('spcclmur notitied that tho two Scnatorint of« fiees by which tho Btate of New York Is entitied to representation in tho Congress of the Unltnd Htates arn now vieant. by tho resignation of tha Inte incumbents, Aroxzo B, CORNELL. TUE UEXERALLY-UNDERSTOOD DETERMINA- TION of the Senate not to allow the joint letter with its reflections on Judge Ilobertson to go on the journal deterred the Governor from gending the Conkling-latt explanation of thelr resiznations tothat body. The major- ity of the Senators consider the document an insult to the Legislature, and especially in- sulting to the presiding ofllcer of the Senate, Jndge Robertson, A notlon not to receive the document It 1t hnd been presented by the Governor would : have been adopted alinost unanbmously. The Legislature having now been officially notifled, the election of. tho successors of ex-Senators Conkhng and Platt will take place on the second Tuesday frotn to-tay, which will be May 31. To-morrow the Legislature will adjourn over until Mon- day night, and ‘no new developments are looked for until the beginning of next week, Many of the members of the Legislature will visit thelr homes on Saturday and come into contact with THELL CONSTITUENTS, They will then lenrn that fully nine-tenths of the Hepublliean voters of the State ap- prove the course of President Uarfield, and are opposed to the return of Conkling and Plattto tho Senate.

They miss Mr. Conkling with n sense of relief, 1t has become known that some of the Repub- Ilean eaucuses which Mr. Conkling attended were quito stormy. “Conkling isa champion bulldozer,” sald n Western Senator to-day. *‘The day the New York nominntions were withdrawn he took me nside, and sald he hnd heard that even I was agalnst him. . *Yes,” I repled, * I nm—thatis, I am go- Ing to vote for Robertson’s confirmation, 1f Lever get achance.

D, C., May19.—The letter of Gen. Grant to Sonator Jones, of Nevada, was given out by Senator Conkling In the only newspaper of any consequence in -the United States that has given him any sympn- thy,—the New York Hgrald,—and that puper 20,13, | [ - gives signs, by a doubje-leaded dispatehfrom Albany this morning, conceding Conkling’s defent, that it is about ready to -ubandon Ita champion. This letter was furnished by Mr. Jotles to Senator Conkling personally, and 16 1s not belioved that Mr., Jones desired to have it published. The results will most certalnly show that Gien. Grant will very much regret that it was published, as 1t will place THE GREAT GENERAL. who now is almost Conkling's only ally, grossly In the wrong, The letter of Gen. Grant shows that It s a very imprudent thing for a man, even with a remarkable moemory, to write lettors a thousand miles away from the record. Gen. Grant has forgotten mauny thingy,—so many, in fact, that his letter con- tains many misstatements, Theofliclal core respondence between Mr. Nicholas Fish, for instance, furnished by the State Depart~ ment to tho general press to-night, will show that Gen. Grant's letter on that subject makes a false statementas to facts, It appears that Mr. Fish resigned to Mr, Evarts on Feb, 17. His resignation was not, therefore, part of that ususl courtesy customary at the beginning of an Admninistration..: ‘The letter which this Administration dld recelve was- simply a du plicate of tha letter serit to Mr, Evarts, amd Mr. Flsh's friends had given out that he wished to come home and enter upon the practice of the lnw Lefore he grew too old. HOWKEVER, the Administration did ask if he would accopt the mission to Denmark, cortatuly a dlstinguished position for so young a man. ‘When Mr. Fish telegraphed back declining it, but statime that he would accept Berlin, Tis answer had too much of the arrogance of Lord Roscoe about it to be acceptable to the Admiulstration, and ho was retired.
