ALBANY April 21.-The discussion upon the Re-
,,oval bill assumed new phase to-day by the intro
Auction by Senator Woodin Of q new bill, consti-
tutng the ChcfJustice of the Court of Appeals and
the presiding judges of the four departments Of the
sunreme Court Commission for the trial Of officers
charged nv the Governor with misconduct or NAL
yersation The day was consumed in an animated
ascus.ion upon its merits, though very weighty
,,asous were advanced early in the argument 10
.how that il was clearly unconstitutional. 1t was
finally referred 10 the Judiciary Committee,
with instructions 30 inquire and report
sarlv tomorrow morning upon the question
AZ its consttutionalty; and, far the
,retty full researches of the Committee went this
,iteaon the question is settled that il is unconsi-
tn,ioaal. There only three of the Committee
pres.nt-Messrs. Robertson. Laning. and 1obey-and
two Of these-Messrs Laning and TObey-state to-
night that there is doubt the bill is in complete
and irremediable conflict with the section of the
Constitution which prohibits any of these judges from
viii report TO that effect tomorrow and Mr.. Wood
IN. MEASURE will be consigned TO the tomb. 1t has
ALREADY served its purpose by securing another days
DELAY and ether devices will be in readiness for the
came purpose tomorrow. In the mean time delays
threaten TO become dangerous; for the testimony
taken before the Joint Investigating Commit
Tee on Canal Frauds begins 10 point more
AMI more direy at COLLISION negligence or both,
Among officials in high place. In the testimony OF
.Sstate Engineer Van Rensselaer, Richmond to-day,
be stated that the contractors had frequently used
their influence with the Canal Board for the ap-
pontnent of en- gneers. The bill has now been be-
fore the Senate nearly weeks and the tactics OF
the Ring men have succeeded in preventing progress
,ocompletely that The solution of the question how
shal the removals be made, is apparently a far
away Is ever.
To-morrov the Governors friends are expected 10
attempt flank movement By Offering again. through
senatof Jacobs, the Absolute Removal oil as sub
stitat4. To support this they expect the aid OF
several Democratic Senators who absent from
the vote on Tuesday, among them Senator's Ledwlth
and Moore. The Canal Ring are moving heaven and
earth to LOld their votes and have kept the screws
tight on those Senators who are allied % them
though not of them. In one or two eases Senator's
who have taken the Iced reformeTs, found vot
lng with the Ring and all the persuasion OF their
colleagues has proved unavailing. Whether the
Absolute Removal bill fails again not, the Gov
ernor's supporters claim that they will gain point
in putting full Senate squarely on the record.
