charges shall be preferred to the Governor against the

office, willful neglect of duty, or misappropriation of the
funds of the State, it shall be the duty of the Governor forth-
with to notify the party so charged, and fix a day for a
hearing of said charges; and if from the evidence taken,
under oath on said hearing before the Governor, the said
allegations shall be sustained, it shall be the duty of the
Governor to remove said offending officer and appoint an-
other in his place, who shall hold the office for the unexpired
term of the officer so removed.
