THE DISPOSITION OF THE SENATE.

| ALBANY, April 14.-Thp great importance of the
measures now under consideration for giving power
10 the Governor to remove and punish offending
State officials is conceded by every one in the Senate
and the interest which each individual feels in the
character of the bill to be passed is enhanced on one
side by the terrors which Ring men feel and on the
other by the uncertainty as to the sentiment with
which constituencies may look upon a bestowa
of too much power upon the Governor. The
preliminary discussion of to-day indicates very
clearly that policy of silence is deemed the safest
nv q certain class of Senators, who have been
enabled to-day to conduct their fight over the sEou
ders of Messrs. WOodn and Robertson, but who will
have 10 talk or at least vote, perhaps, Tomorrow
private canvass among the Senators, after the
discussion to-day, resulted in the discovery OF
strange diversity Of opinion. 1t must be
remembered that Senators who thus take
occasion to express their views, are not
placed thereby upon the official record and hold
themselves entitled TO entertain very different
opinions tomorrow. Notably is this the case with
Senator Lord who with startling prompttude, an
nounced himself AZ favorable to vesting the absolute
mower in the Executive. Senator LOwery said
that he was in favor of strong BILL but is
NOT certain that he wishes the Governors power
IN he so absolute Senator WOOdn Will not
consent to give the Governor 30 great
mower. Senator Cole says he is opposed to it,
Mr. Middleton has not yet made up his mind but
will consent to favor the bill giving the Governor all
the power if he is convinced that 1T is the measure
most imperatively demanded. Senator King says
that if the Governor had the power of appointment
he would favor giving him the power of removal
hut az il now is he is opposed. Most of the Senator's
40 non-commttal, and are generally waiting for
another indication of the public sentiment.
