The New York Legislature adopted a resolution
requesting the representatives of the State in Com
gress TO use their most active efforts 10 secure
the revival Of the tenure-of Office law. A motion
introduced by Mr.. Kerrigan, of New York
presenting the thanks of the assembly to Andrew
johnson, for the able manner in which hs has dis
