Appointments by the Governor.

Governor Brown says he will send to
the Senate when it reassembles tonight
or on to morrow morning his nomina-
ton for adjutant- general. The tobacco
inspectors will be disposed of at the same
time. The Governor says that while a
number of gentlemen have indicated
their desire to be appointed to the office
of adjutant general, the contest has mar
rowed down to the two principal appli-
cants-Gen. James Howard, the present
incumbent, and Col. John s Saunders,
who is member OF the brigade staff.
Both are stronglyindorssd, and the Gov
ernor, in naming the new head of the
State militia, will probably have to de-
eide between personal and military rec
concentrations of the two aspirants. The
local appointments, including the super
intendent of the State House grounds,
the Governor says, will not be made nn-
Ill after the adjournment of the Legisla-
ture. The Legislature will resume its
session tonight.
