Albany, Jan. 20-Thc editorial in The New.
York Sun of to-day, with the title of "Is il
Abdicatlon?' p which is attributed TO Charles A.
Dana, and which says that the question Of the
day is whether iy taking the Office of a Senator
IN Congress Governor Hill now abdicates the great
post of leader of the Democracy and necessary
Democratic candidate for President in s92 made
a great sensation here among the Democratic
members of tho Legislature Such Of them as ara
ardent champions Of Goyemor Hill acknowledged
that The Suns" question was one which was
troubling them. In fact, nearly all of them had
opposed Mr.. Hills accepting the Senatorshp, he
cause they feared that such action would lessen
his strength a candidate for President They
had suspected that the Cleveland Democrats would
raise the cry: " 1t is all arranged Hill is Sem
ator, and Cleveland is to be the Democratic can
didatc for President; Hill got what he wanted by
the aid Of the Cleveland men. and he is to aid
Cleveland now TO become the Democratic candidate
for President They Of course deny that any
arrangement Of this nature has been made be-
tween Governor Hill and Mr.. Cleveland. and de-
clare that more than ever, alter his election as
Senator, the Governor will be a rival OF Mr..
Cleveland for the nomination for President.
But what especially troubles Mr.. Hills sup
porters is the thought that the United States
Senate may have special session in March and
Mr.. Hill be summoned to Washington. Would he
resign the office of Governor and obey that sum-
mons? They now say that he would not, but
would hold on to his GovernOrship until Decem-
Der /, when the regular session OF Congress will
begin. Yet they perceive that public opinion would
condemn Mr.. Hill if he should decline to go to
Washington under such circumstances leaving
the State of New-York represented by only one
Senator at that time. He would plainly be hold.
ing two great offices at the same time, and this
is highly repusnant 10 the ideas of American
voters. Perhaps by March 4 even the Hill De.
m0crats will see that the Governors position Is
an untenablc one. As il Is, Mr.. Hill will bs
compelled, as an honorable man, to return to the
United States Treasury his salary United States
Senator from March to December /, if he draws
his salary Governor of the State of Ncw-lork
in that period The salary OF Governor being
exactly double that of n Senator, there is little
question which salary Mr.. Hill will surrender.
The Assembly and the Senate both voted az
noon to-day for United States Senator. The two
houses voted separately, William NJ. Evarts and
were east. The Republicans voted solidiy for Mr.
Evarts. even Mr. Brodsky and the Democrats as
solidly for Mr.. Hill. This the result:

Washington Post: Assistant Secre-
tary OF the Treasury Crounse has
charge OF the payment OF salaries, and
once a month he sends to the division
OF accounts a document addressed to
the secretary OF the treasury in these
words: ''Please cause warrant to
be issued in favor OF BENJAMIN Harri-
son, President of the United States,
for the sum of S4, 1867, with which
he is to be charged and held account
able under the following head OF ap-
preparations" The section OF the
statute is quoted, and the document
signed by the assistant secretary.
The warrant for this amount is then
issued and recorded in the proper
books, when it is sent to Treasurer
Nebeker, who issues his draft on the
United States treasury in favor OF
the president. This DRAFT ig .lla difs
is in the name of the president alone.

is sent to the White House by special
messenger and delivered to the presi-

back OF it the draft becomes negotiable
paper, the same as any other, and is
sent by him to the Columbia Bank
where it is deposited to his credit and
becomes part OF his private account.
If he is out of the city, the draft is
sent to the president by mail. 1t
