There something of excitement about the State
House this morning created by rumor since confirmed
that Mr. Crenshaw Register Of the land Office had been
removed and L. Sigur appointed in his stead Accord
ing to the terms of his commission Mr. Crenshaw still
two to go on but 1t that Gov Hebert has
to the conclusion that he is the Chief Magistrate
the State, and that all the Offices belong to him lie
therefore declares them all vacant and fills them with h
own particular friends The Lone Star is decidedly in the
ascendant and shines out bright light Of hope all it,
worshppers-that is II getting all the Offices will give
them hope as suppose it will An undecided feeling
with regard to this particular and peculiar order is
doubleday, of the Of Mr. Crenshaws removal
As for his being democrat one ever denied 1t
has any denied that he good and efficient Off
Ger. So far as have hesrd Of him,
has made complaint against him the latter score
while have heard 1t said that he rather too much Of
democrat. But the Governor had to take care Of Mr.
Sigur and turned good officer out to put another In
his place What excuse be given for this singular
decapitation divine is it supposed that
any will be given 1t being generally un
derstood that Gov Heber wants to let the people that
he has say in matters and things and that his say
is law 1t is said that Mr. sigur has been appointed
the Governor that he may advise and direct him in his
governmental sort of Prime Minister the Throne
but opne that His Excelency will only take Mr. Sgur's
opinion when 1t comedies with his As both of them
are pretty hard-headed they won't get along very
moniousy Perhaps too after all Mr. Sigur will not sue
coed in being conrmednot by the Senate for tn is an
affair faitebut judiciay for Mr. Crenshaw intends CON
testing the right of the Governor to remove him. There
is an immense amount ut stake and it will not be given
up without struggle 1t is certainly the best Office the
Governor has in his gift, understand from good
authority, that the first of June the fees have
amounted to upwards Of twelve thousand dollars So you
see that Mr. Crenshaw has strong resisting
operation of the guiotne which will cut him of from
such nice revenue
Legislation is getting little more regularly now
The hot weather is beginning to set in and members
anxious to get home. Still have idea that an ad-
journment will take place until time in May-prob-
ably the tenth Nearly all the bills of any general impor-
lance have been passed but the calendar is still very full
and will not be finished before the time have mentioned
1t might possibly the House. but the Senate coach has
slow driver who gets twelve dollars day, and very
willing to put up with all the Inconvenience of country
residence for that nice little sum. That Gen Davis Ito
whom alude) conversant with all the routine Of his
Office Gas Gov. Farmer testify, for have seen him
take pains to prompt him than oncefor which he
got thanks) no will deny Having been Secretary
for thirty years he would be very dull il he was not
but that he is slow, pompous and melancholy looking in
the performance Of it, there is question His reading
of the Journal is piece of consummate slow indifer-
ence-almost inaudible and when he announces the
startling fact that the Secretary of the Senate is about
to proceed to the House to inform that Honorable body
the Of the Senate to bill originated in that
Honorable body entitled Act for the relief of the As
SCISSOR of the Parish Off he has an imposing and
martial appearance very striking to be sure but the
time terribly lugubrious and indolent This is
fast country and legislators should be fast to keep up
with it. and Secretaries Of the Senate should be little
fast too That is so all the democrats say herethe
sequence of which is that Gen Davis will have to
tent himself in future with the salary Of Adutant General
