stitutional Convention, approved
by Gen. Reynolds, A. McGowan,
Mayor, r. p. Pulley Recorder, and
J. c. Lord, Marshal, Houston, Texas,
arc removed by Gen. Buchanna

gathey, appointed Recorder and
Edgar A. Metcalf, City Marshall
to ill the vacancies thus created
]. s. Batchelder is appointed Mayor
of the city of Houston, vice A.
McGowan, removed.
We regard these removals as a
great mistake on the part of Gen
Buchanan. The gentlemen removed
are the best men for their positions
that can be found in the community
all old citizens of high character
and every way efficient, rcsponible
and reliable. Mayor Mctiowan,
moreover, was quite as good 9
Union man as Gov. Pease, and
much better than Fayle. When
the recommendations of such inter
lopers as Fayle can remove such
men as McGowan the times are
are indeed out of Joint.

lucky; also Michael Hahn Of Lou
isiana.
Bill reducing the army, came up
in regular order in the house, and
by test-vote, was referred to "a com
mittee by majority OF four. This
kills it for the present.
One section of this bill arms tho
loyal militia of the South.
Bill arming the Southern Militia
and recognizing the Conventions
of Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas
is undoubtedly dead until after re
cess.
The President nominated J. j.
Johnson rs Collector of internal
Revenue for the third Louisiana
District; Dorsey B. Thomas as Col
lector of Customs at New Orleans.
Quite an exciting time was had
in the Senate last night over the
amount duo Southern Senators.
Mr.. Trumbull's motion gave each
some. seven thousand dollars, but
the rule as it eventually passed gives
them about four hundred. Some OF
them spoke in their own behalf on
this important subject and were
about to vote in their own behalf,
but the rules of the Senate checked
them.
The Senate is in session tonight.
The House meets at 9 o'clock in
the morning and the affair closes at
II o'clock on Monday.
No further legislation affecting
the South is possible.
The President nominated AleXan-
der Cummins of Pennsylvania as
Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
The funding bill has passed both
houses.
The bill reorganizing Mississippi,
Virginia and Texas, came up in the
Senate.
Mr.. Buckalew took the floor to
argue it, when Conkling said it was
tabled.
A bill passed, removing disabili-
ties from Nelson Tiff. Gen. Young
was seated as reprcsentivc from
Georgia.

There is SO much confusion it is
impossible to give the position OF
several important bills; but all af-
fecting the South, of an aggressive
character have failed.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-Tift, of
Georgia, was admitted to seat in
the House.
Funding bill passed the House by
1O2 TO 32.
Simion Corley, Representative
from South Carolina, seated.
The Senate confirmed Gen. Ros-
encrans as Minister TO Mexico.
The President called no special
session of the Senate. This leaves
many important Offices vacant.
Tie President was at the Capitol
from half past ten to twelve. All
bills were signed except the fund
ing bill, which, however, the Presi-
dent can sign at any time within
ten DAYS.
