joins a. COLLIER, who was last winter elected
Comptroller of the finance. of the State for the
gular of three years ensuing. has Just been re-
moved from Office by the masters of the State
step authorized, indeed by the Constitution but
wholly without precedent i'll ON history. The l.c-
gislnure is empowered TO remove the State Officers
bya Concurrcn, Vote, with the obvious intent that
the power should be exercised only III cases of NAL
icasance, incompctency and corruption. ct no
shadow of objection is raised Us to the ability, IN
| tcgritv and uSsidutv with which Mr.. Collier has
discharged his duties; but. when pressed for a
reason, Mr.. PAIGE stated that 8. Mr.. Golfers views
of Finance were hostcto those of the majority
That is to say Nh Collier believes that il is bet
ter, wiser and more economical 10 prosecute the
State Works to completion than nbaldoa them Ia
dllapldation and rain, and that the money may be
obtained 70 complete them. Mr. Flagg believes
the contrary OF this; and so John y. Collier is re-
moved from his office, and Azariah G. flagg elect
ed in his stead This result is brought about by
the votes of New York, .ANany Oneida, Omom-
dag0, Caynga, Hayne, Jefferson, and other
Canal Counties, we'll as those of most Of the
Counties primarily interested in the completion Of
the Erie Railroad We simply record the fact
as also that ORvILLE L. HoILEY has in like man
ncr been removed from the office OF Surveyor Gen

patrona &c, and Nathaniel Jones of Orunsc-ono
of the senen Members from New-York and only
twenty-seccn from all the Free States who in 1910
voted toimpose the Gag-Law on the North, and
to stite the Right Of Petition.


SAMuEL YOuNG and AZARIAH c. FLAGG are
elevated to the most prominen, places in the Gov

This is in Just keeping. These men have for wears
been the bitcrcst enemies of the Improvement.

John Bowman in the Senate on the last day OF the
session Of 1924. and Bowman instantly offered
