ChRDozO SAVED FROM IMPEACHMENT.

ALBANY, May I, 1871.
The near approach of the day fixed for the
assembling of the Democratic and Republican State
Conventions Is giving new impetus to legislation
in both houses, and the members who expect
10 go to Rochester or Elmira are doing
their level best to whip up the drones so
that the final adjournment win take place
Ivy Friday or Saturday next The Assembly
In particular IL putting forth the most strenuous
cndeavOrs to accomplish the desired result and.
although the odds are against the tolers it may
be that success win finally crown their Efforts
The greatest obstacle in the way Just now is the
Senate, whose members seem determined, regard
less OF consequences to do much useless talking
as they possibly can The resolution TO adjourn on
Friday, which passed the Assembly to-day and was
ut once sent to the Senate after its passage was
passed for the purpose OF squirting the
Senate on more than anything else. Up to
the present time the Senate has kept ahead OF the
Lower House in the transaction OF its business hut
during the past few days the buncombists have
ruled the roast, and the consequence is that the
situation has been entirely changed for the worse
The adjournment cannot, however, 1t is believed
take place before Wednesday week.
In pursuance of the resolution OF the Assembly
last evening the New York city charter was made
the special order to-day. The chairman OF the
Committee on Cities, Mr.. Judd, stated that no
material amendments had been made to
u, and that the few amendments that
had been made were merely TO improve
the phraseology OF some OF the sections. Mr..
Cayuga Brown then offered his hobby amendment,
prohibiting donations OF money to sectarian
schools This brought Mr.. Tilden to his feet He
denounced the amendment as mischievous and as
frebrand that would kindle partisan
strife, which all patriotic men should
studiously work TO avert. Mr.. Alvord
1rfnca thntt ha
charter If the amendment made part OF it, Mr..
Pen. who, like his friend Cayuga Brown, prides
himself on his devotion to the sectaran idea de-
cared that the amendment should be inserted, and
ne Tor one would vote to carry the BIZ over
IL because OF the amendments and, when Mr. Pen
announced the fierce determination, he sat down
and looked about him as though he expected the
galleries TO come down handsomely but he was
disappointed and the only man in the lobby who
looked as though he felt particularly jublant was
MR.. DEXTER A. HAWKINS,
who came here bright ana early this morning to
push the amendment along and help Mr.. Pel to
make hit Mr.. Brown not to be outdone by Mr..
Pen. again got the floor, and, as usual by way OF
preface for a minute or two busily engaged him
SCRATCHING MS HEAD
before gathering his scattered senses. Turning to
wards Mr.. Alvord he screeched that he had good
ground for stating that the Governor would sign
the bill with the amendment in 1t as Old Salt had
for stating that he would not sign IL. He then, in
his usual clawfish way, drilted into talk about
Alvord's
GhOUND AND LOFTY TUMBIING
in the sectarian business, and wound up 10y de-
claring that the people demanded that the sectaran
question shonld be settled now and for all time.
Mr.. Alvord did not condesccnd to answer these
remarks, and Of course Brown looked very
happy. Mr. Pell then offered his substitute prohibit
ing the donation oil moneys to any institution under
the Comptrolers management Of any sectarian
or UNCONVENTIONAL society, or the selling OF any
property to any sectarian denominational So
ciety, unless sold at public auction 10 the highest
bidder. Mr.. Hustled declared that this amendment
would certainly doom the charter. Mr. Pes motion
was declared of order when Sppnk
Mr Judd make an appeal TO the House not to

THE MILLER CASE
IT Will be borne IN mind that the last
night ordered 10 he reopened to-day in order that the
testimony OF SoulhwIck the clerk, who it was said
had been the go-between between Wood Parsons 4
Co. and Miller, might be examined. However,
when the committee met 10 take his evidence this
morning, IT was learned that he had precipitatcy
left town shortly after midnight or course this
threw the committee into CONSERVATION and confu.
zion, and so the chairman, when he into the
House. at once explained the situation and asked
that the case be made the special order during the
evening This motion was adopted, and at half.
past three O'Clock the discussion on the report OF the
committee and the concurrent resolution TO re-
move Mr.. Miller was begun IL is useless 10 detail
arguments pro and CON, as almost every member
seemed anxious TO have say about the matter
Mr.. Tobey opened the ball, and spoke at great
length in advocacy OF the resolution. He was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Hart against IL, and then the Speaker
consumed considerable time in denouncing Miller
and the wealthy presidents and vice presidents OF
Tie insurance companies who ne conten 9c Were ,
orphans and widows, and upon men who trusted
:leir money to them. Mr.. Twomby opened the
a.
resolution, in view OF the fact IA he believed, that

Snythe tnen followed In advocacy OF the resolution,
aud he was followed by Mr.. Hustled, who offered as
substitute for Mr.. Tobeys resolution
