New DIRK lMPRovEMENTs.-- The New
York correspondent Of the National Intel
ligencer of late date says The most
important document which has made its
appearance since the annual message of
Governor Seward, is a report from Mr..
Verplanck in reference to the financial
interests of New York. The report gives
a picture of things based upon facts, and
most favorable to the prospects of this
great and growing State. Notwithstand-
ing the heavy debt New York owes, she
has abundant means 10 meet it. Any fu-
ture deficiency is considered highly i'm
probable in the report, even in the COM
pletion OF all the important internal inn
provements which have been contemplat.
ed. The enlargement of the Erie Canal
is spoken Of as a work which may increase
the revenue, upon the ground that il will
diminish the rates of transportation very
materially, and add much to the funds of
the State to be derived from tolls. The
report shows that ten millions Of our debt
has been expended upon works as yet I'M
productive, because unfinished. These
works finished, and cautious movement
made in reference to others, Of course we
shall have clear and good shedding.

THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL %, IsaI.

THE SUCCESSION. --General Harrison
was lnaugurated on the 4th Of March, and
died on the morning Of the 4th of April
thus having discharged The duties IF Chief
Magistrate, barely one month. His death
is the first instance OF such visitation, in
the Chief Magistracy Of the nation, since
the foundation of the existing form Of
government. The office of Vice PIesi-
dent was devised and created by the franz
ers of the Constitution, with a view to this
or a similar contingency. The present
National Union went into operation on tie
18th March, 1889. And it is only in the
case OF the ninth President, in the four
teenth official term of the Presidency, and
in the fifty third year Of our existence as
united people under the Constitution,
that the demise of President Harrison,
calls into action the distinctive and distn-
guished attributes Of the second officer OF
the Government. By virtue Of a consti-
tutional provision, the office of President
of the United States devoves upon Vice
President john TYLER, Of Virginia-an
honorable and honored son of an Ancient
Commonwealth. By another provision f
the Constitution, in case of the death or
other disability of bo.h Presiden, and Vice
President, Congress is empowered to de-
termne the temporary succession. In pur-
suance Of this constitutional provision, a
law was accordingly passed by the first
or second Congress, declaring that in case
of the removal, by death or otherwise, Of
the President and Vice President, the
President pro tenn. of the Senate, or if
there be no such officer at the time, then
the Speaker of the House of Representa-.
tives, shall act as President, until the dis.
ability be removed, or a President be
elected. Ball. Pat.
