JUDGE LAMONTS SUCCESSOR.
A sIPONG MAN NAMED FOR The VACANT PLACE on

CHARLES DANIELS IN HIS BEHALF.
lpRoM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE rGIBUsEI ]
ALBANY, Jan eff the Senate, in the attempt
to force the Governor to divide the nominations for
vacant Offices between the two parties, should reject
tho nomination Of Mortimer NJ. SOuthworth, named
for Judge Iamont's vacant seat, they would inliict
an undcserved slight upon a worthy man
and an excellent lawyer. Mr. South
worth has been Distiict-Attorncy of Niagara
County for five successive terms 3 years., Re
publican until 1872, and has since been twice
Democratic candidate for Congress The summary
way. however, in which n man so blaneless and SO
descryedly popular as Mr. Schuyler was rejected by
the Senate leaves little hope that Mr. Southworih
will be confirmed unless he receives strong Ropub-
Hcan support from tho outside, or an understand
ing between the Governor and the Senate IL reached
That there is such Republican sentiment, perhaps
the following strong letter from two wellknown Re
publican Judges of the Supreme Court may serve to
