So fer irom desiriag to possess toe power of Yuspension aud removal the Governor regards it as very undesiravle to bimsel! and to his succes- sors. But itis his purpose neituer to decline nor to seek suco #n iuvidious .responsibuity. He knows that, as any Vacancy woulu be filled oy toe peopie at ine next succeeding election, tuere is Bo real power involved io tne removal. No ambi- tious Governor coula Gesire to possess such a barren and offensive authority. Patrovage re- Bides in (he pewer of original apporatment. Tne ullar scheme of the constitutions of 1821 and 846 Was tO separate the power of appointmens und removal, making te orginal choice by election, and vesung a power of oval iu the Governor or some other State ona thority, The device oy whicl the conventions of 1821 and 1446 ventured tu Make so wWaay vdices e@iective, was the creation of tuis independens power of removal. Notoirg ts more avsard, Shereiore, tuan to set up the act of an election as @0 objection to the exisience of a mode of sum- | mary removal. PERMANENT REPORM CERTAIN. Finaliy, the Governor says that tne matter is Dew; tue minds of the people tad not been or@ubt to bear upon it when the Senate and As- sembly were elected. He bas deemed it gis duty to suggest what he thinks to ve the most use.ui measures, and ne has acquitted pimseif of his auty. It now belongs to the Lewisiature to take their share of tue responsioilities. The Governor ? is Of opinion that, whatever may happen, we cause will not fail, It will gatuer new sirength from temporary eteat.

He said he thougnt a rreshet naa broken away the dam belure it was completed. Couusel showed thac a relief bill was passed by the Legislature allowing the contract prices to be raised, Walch had the effect of neary doubling the original estate. WHAT A COMMISSIONER KNOWS.

He satd the salary of these oMicers bad been fixed at $4,009, and he was opposed to this addition. Speaker MCGUIRs sustained the amendment, call- ing attention to the tact that bills had been passed creating new oftfces and increasing salaries.

Speaker McGving moved to amend by providing that the State Engineer may remove engineers only lor incompetency, misconduct or matversation 1b otice. He proposed tbls a8 & Compromise, as ne thougat there was a diversity of opinion as to the propriety or the Engineer having tue sole appoint- ing power, ‘bis amenament would prevent political removals. Mr. T. C, CAMPBELL accepted this amendment and it was adoptea. Mr, ALVORD moved to add at the cud of sec- tion 7, thatall contracts snail be at an end when- I) ever the whole amount of money to be paid a cou- tractor is earned aud received by him and his work is Gone; excep? that the ten per cent addl- tional provided for in tis section, may be taken as a part of the contract price. Mr. HOGAN moved 10 strike Out the first section of the bill, and proceeded to argue that all the re+ sponsibuity necessary vr requisite for an honest admin.strarion of canal affairs Was now in exist- ence, Botn the Canal Commissioners and tne Canal Board are fully respousivie, Was lar better to leave the matter as it is, holding state officials bonnd by iheir oath of Office, than to (rast to sabordinates, Mr. PAGE said the bill had been thoroughly dis- cussed. 1t was understood that it was intended to concentrate the responsibility. ‘That was its main or chiei ieature, and he hoped it would re~ ceive the unanimous approval of tac House.

SENATOR FOX’S POLICE JUSTIORS BILL. The bill introduced vy Senator kox Incr the number of police justicas in New York likely to pags. It 18 stated, in measure, that the present justices have entirely too much business to attena to, They are com- pelied toexamine cases hastily in order te et through with business, and frequent hard. ships to prisoners Cousequently follow. The Stockvis cage i4 pointed out as an example of this stave of affairs, Formeriy civil justices and Aldermen had the power to sit as polic: justices When occasion required, thus trequently relieving the regwiar officers wnen overworked. Now no such relief can pe obtained. The present bill pro- vides for the appointment of three en Magistrates to hold Special Sessions—two to be appointed of the Mayor andone by the Board of | Pottce Jastices, If this is a correct statement of the facts taere can be no just reason why the Dill should not become law. THE REMOVAL OF CONGRESS HALL. ‘The interminable controversy as to the remova of Congress Hall occupied about two bours ot the Assembiy to-day.
