AUSTIN, July 2l.-The Governor sent to
the Senate to-day the name of John Court
AIDE for Director Of the Pcnitcntiary, sup
posed TO be on the recommendation OF Sen
ator Mills. 1t was confirmed unanimous
ly. Daniel D. Claibornes name was sub
united for Judge Of the Victoria District.
lie Was dominated before for the Dallas Dis
trici, but the nomination was not con-
6rmed. There is less likelihood of con
frmation now.
The consideration Of Tie Southern Pacific
Railway veto was postponed till to-mor-
row. 1t is feared thai the Governors veto
will be sustained. Senator Latimer will
probably vote for il. This will tie up all
further legislation about railroads. 1t will
also prevent funds being voted for any dd-
mihisiration measure. There will be no
money for militia or other such measures.
Has the Governor not been short sighted
in making so many appointments from the
Legislators Their successors will all be
Democrats, without doubt. Wells Thonip-
son will beat Major Vaughn in deceased
NJ. X. Forbes District. In Cherokee, Co.
billiard will most nssuredly overtop Col. a.
T. Monroe, and Afford will probably have
no opponent in his District, and SO come
back. Besides these three, Petitts must he
filed, as he becomes Superintendent OF
Education. Where will the Senate stand
after the fall elections, being Republican
now by only one vote? This is only the
Senate alone. The Constitution calls for
an election and il must be held.
In both Houses the School bill is the or
der Of the day tomorrow morning. 1t &C.
cupied almost the entire morning session
in the House.
In Committee of the Whole on the School
bill, Mr.. Slaughter was in the chair, and
must say have not seen business move
along so smoothly any time before. George
is emphatically Republican, but / do not
think him quite SO rabid as some | wot or
