Riee, the Governor’s private secre tary, with the Sergeaut-at-Anns, then aji peared before tlie bar and drew a message from his pocket. INSISTING ON THE ROLL CALL. Mr. Raines took the floor and insisted that the roll call for an adjournment, which wasjlmlf finished (the Republicans voting in the affirmative and the Democrats in the negative),‘.be concluded. UJJTiie Chair ruled him out of order. Mr. Raines then proceeded to denounce the course of the Lieutenant Governor as arbitrary and revolutionary. At these words the Lieutenant Governor began jiounding with his gavel and the whole chamber was in tumult. Mr. Raines continued speaking but the noise of the gavel was so great that his voice was inaudible five fret away. The Republican Senators shouted to Mr. Raines to prons-d and tlie Democrats called to Lieut. Gov. Jones to stand firm. Col. Rice stood immovable during the uj>- roar until Lieut. Gov. Jones sent his clerk to his side. THE MESSAGE RECEIVED. The clerk took the message, the words of Col. Ric-C; “I have the honor to transmit a message from tlie Governor,” being clearly audible above the din. Lieut. Gov. Jones hold the message in his hand. 3lessrs. Pitts, Vedder, Raines, Fassett and Hendricks, Re publican Senators, began spoaking but no words could be heard. Reaching the message, to Deputy Clerk Kenyon, Lieut. Gov. Jones directed him to read it, but evidently fearing it would bo seized he retained it, and himself began to read the message. Hardly a word was audible, as the Republican Senator* during nearly the whole proceeding denounced the act, rose to points of order and raised ob jections, tlie Democrats meanwhile calling on the Lieutenant Governor to proceed. When the reading was concluded the Ro jmblicans began explaining their votes. JONES DENOUNCED. 3lr. Vedder, Rep., of the Chautauqua dis trict, Raid: “I wish to say, anil I speak it in the name of the free people of the State oi New York, that I here in my place de nounce tlie action taken by the presiding officer of this Senate a* wholly unwarranted, despotic and arbitrary, and an outrage ujxm the [jeople of this State and up in the law, and that it is a disgrace to any legislative body.” Tne President—Tho Senator is out of or der and is not giving his reasons. Mr. Vedder—l am giving my reasons. It is the duty of the jieople of' the State of Now York to prefer articles of imiieach ment against tho presiding officer of this Senate and to impeach him. Mr. Murphy—You will liavo to go to the assembly for that. LEFT NO OTHER COURSE.I Mr. Vedder—Certainly we will; but when tho, power of the representatives of tlie people of this State is thus usurped and their rights denied them in tiiis desjiotie way, we can do nothing else to maintain our dignity than that; and tlie jieople will demand it, and they will accept of nothing short of that. Mr. Pitts, of tho Rochester district, and President of the Senate pro tern., said: “1 et very mu-h what hua taken place in this chamber this morning. Wo had pro ceeded to this time with such good feeling. There had been such an evident desire on the part of tho Chair to rule fairly and cour teously, I say, that in the history of legisla tive liodics no instance can is- found where, upon calling the roll, a presiding officer ar bitrarily and without any authority either of law, parliamentary or otherwise, directed that call to besuspended, and from hi* place at the desk read a communication from any State officer to that body. • BELONGED TO THE SENATE. “Tlie communication properly belongs to the Senate in executive session. This is to lie regretted. 1 regret it if I said anything improper to my aws-iab s in tlie heat oi debate, but I denounce the action of tin presiding officer as arbitrary and illegal. It shows that he is entirely unfit and uu worthy to occupy the place to which he was elevat 'd by the people. The action which was suggi stl (impeachment) ought to be taken. It ought to be a warning to all men who are called ujxm to preside over us that they should preserve the semblance of fairness and courtesy to tlie body over which they ore called to preside. MICIIT HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. “We might have got along with this with out any feeling wliateveror any contention, and the executive would have been treated entirely renpectfully. We can gain no ad vantage ami desire to gain none. I remeni ber once when the Democrats had a major ity iu tho assembly and Gov. Fenton sent, in a message, they would not jiermit it to lie read end lain it upon the table inline dintely, ami they were strictly within par liamentary rules.” Other rnamj*'!-* sjtoke in th* matter. Be fore announcing tlio result on th-- motion to adjourn Lieut. (4ov. Jones started to make un explanation, when Mr. Pitts objected. DENIED A lUOIIT TO EXPLAIN. Lieut, Gov.

The Governor's message, which created all the trouble, whs a mild protest to the Senate against “hanging up” his nomina tions for various offices instead of acting upon them one way or another. The Gov ernor closes his message as follows: “I Reek by this communication to inform the Senate that I respectfully decline to be placed in tiny false position on one hand to the Senate or any injustice or discourtesy on tin* other. If the Senate actually de sires further time to consider the nominations of Messrs. Armstrong and Bucklieo, or is now desirous of confirming them, i am anxi ous to oblige your honorable body.

St. Loris, April 22.—A special from Washington to the Republican gives the fol lowing rather startling information: “Presi dent Cleveland neither wishes nor will ac cept, a renomination.” This will tie startling information to the country,setting at rest the important question of a second ter in,now the subject of interested consideration in political circles every where. The correspondent of the Republican has tho highest possible authority for the statement, however, and it can bo depended upon ns strictly and entirely true. It comes from the President himself, who made a declaration to this effect, on Wednesday to a prominent Democratic Senator from oue of the Western States, who is on terms of es pecial intimacy at the White House. The President spoke with so much deliberate earnestness and such stud ied emphasis that tho Senator with whom he was talking is certain there is no reason to question his iiorfect and en tire sincerity. Ilis manner, not less than bis words, indicated that the declaration was simply the decision of a firm resolution which had resulted from careful considera tion of all the phases of the matter. The President said he had not given any intima tion of his feelings to the representatives of tho press for the simple reason that he felt that nothing he might, say about not wishing or being willing to take a second term could lie believed. *1 hardly expect anybody to believe it,’ he said,‘except my wife, but it is so nonetheless.’ Continuing, he added: ‘Everything I do, every appointment I make, thev think it is to secure re-election. On the contrary, I am counting tho days that remain until my release front office just as if 1 were a prisoner in confinement.” REMOVAL OF THE APACHES. Mouni Vernon Selected Because It Offers More Room. Washington, April 22. —The Apache In dians who were moved from Arizona to Fort Marion, Fla., last fall aro to be removed, l>y direction of the Secretary of War, to Mount Vernon barracks, Ala. They numiier about 450, in addition to Geron imo and seventeen bucks who are confined at Fort Pickens. Tho wives of the latter will not tie removed from Fort Marion to Mount Vernon but will lie permitted to join their husbands at Fort Pickens. Capt. Pratt, Superintendent of the Carlisle Indian School, has gone to Fort Marion to select thirty or forty young Indians before re moval ti i lie inst ructsd at his institution. The removal is made on account of tho crowded condition of the quarters at Fort Marion, and although the health of the Indians has been good, it was thought advisable to send them to a healthier location, where they will have plenty of room ami lie free from the gaze of hundreds of curious people who flock about them every time they appear in public. Mount Vernon is considered as peculiarly well adapted to their needs, lining situated in the southwestern part of Alabama, on the Mobile river, not far distant from Mobile, and consisting of a tract of 200 acres. The barracks there is occupied by two companies of artillery. The Indians will live in tents and it is hoped that they may lie taught to become self-supporting. Gerouimo and his renegades are not kept in solitary con finement at Fort Pickens, but are required to work under guard, THE CARLISLE CONTINGENT. Jacksonville, Fla., April 22.—Sixty four Indians will leave St. Augustine to morrow for Carlisle, Pa., via tho Clyde line to New York. TIMBER DEPREDATION3.
