NEW YORK ArrolrrNKNrs.-Rumors, as thick

New YORK ApPoIyrMRNrs.-Rumors, thick
as backberries in summer, were current here yes
terday, concerning the appointments for this city,
authentic from at Washington. 1t was stated in
Wall street generally that ex-Mayor Brady had
been appointed Collector, Hugh Maxwell, Sub
Treasurer, ex-Alderman Davis, as Marshal, and
Mr. Bowen, as Consul to Liverpool We believe
that all these rumors of appointments are prema-
ture. We have authentic intelligence from Wash
ington, stating that none Of these appointments will
be made for week or ten days to come. Mr.
Ewing Secretary of the Interior, has just returned
from Ohio but two of the other members of the
cabinet are absent.
Ourprivate accounts from Washington, disclosing
the movements of the ofiice-beggars and their
agents, are quite amusing. Thurlow Weed has
been there, moving heaven and earth for the Sc
ward influence The Hon. James Brooks has been
there, oppos ng Ex-Governor Young and tns ''orl-
pinal" interest. Half dozen of the newly elected
members of Congress have been busy with their fin
gers in the pie. Ex-Governor Young also has been
there, looking aiier his own interests; but ire
mendous set has been made against him by the
Seward men and all their cliques. The contest Is
so anmating and amusing about the collectorship,
that no attention is paid to foreign missions or home
marshalships. We will, therefore, have another
week of agony lying, intrigue, duplicity, cheating,
pushing, squeezing, and abusing, among the vari-
Gus cliques of Office beggars.

LINES OF ELECTRIC TE1Ea RApH.-There are be-
ing erected two or three new lines of electric tele-
graph between Washington, New York and Boston,
by different companies and individuals From the
appearance of things, there will, we fear, be a
great deal of quarrellng about these new lines A
new enterprise of the same character in the West
has been stopped, and is now sub ect of lltiga-
ton; and we much fear that similar proceedings
will take place concerning the Atlantic lines, before
matters are settled down, and the companies or in
dlviduals who are constructing them will be per-
miued to enjoy their own rights or inventions
Professor Morse certainly, thus far, has given good
evidence of the originality of his invention, and
was the first TO carry it into practical operation
and although it might be advantageous to the public
to encourage rivalry in this business still it ought
to be done with due regard to the rights of sri-
ginal inventors.

EMIGRATION TO CALIFoRSIA.-The increase in
he emigration to California by sea and via the
Isthmus, amounts to some twenty-five thousand
persons. According to the Western journals, the
number of emigrants goiny by the overland route,
Is over twenty thousand. If we add to this large
number, the additional Adventures that may spring
up during the next six months, we would not be
surprised to nearly eighty thousand emigrants
in California, by the first of January next. Such a
population, united to that which the territory al
ready contains, will entite them to become State
at once, and send a constitution to Washington
before the meeting ofthc next Congress. No doubt
California wilfobe erected into a State at once
California will then go ahead Individual distress
and ruin may be occasioned by the crowdng of
emigrants and the rivalry of adventures, but the
State, and the new great seaport on the Pa
cifc, will make wonderful progress, out-rivalling
and surprising anything that the history of COM
merce can furnish, from its first dawn to tn pr
sent time.

JEW WEBp AND TIE GOVERNMENT JEWELS
Another CANDIDATE A FOREIGN MISSION
We announced the arrest of Jem Webb a few
days ago, Just previous to the conviction of Tom
Hand, and his commttal to prison, on the affidavit
of Mr.. George Wilkes, or of Mr. Stewart, Clerk
Of Police, to whom it was alleged Webb had con-
fessed his guilt in the robbery of the government
Jewels. We now learn from Washington, that Mr.
Jcm Uebb has been liberated from custody, on the
ground that the Acknowledgements made by Webb,
of has g,rt, to Mr.. Stewart, ,eere made under the
protection of the government, and that such state
ments of Webb alone, uncorroborated b other
testimony, could not be used against him in order
to procure his conviction. Therefore, Mr.. Webb
is as free as the air again, and no doubt, will hold
himself in readiness, at short notice, to execute
any express business or government secret service
that may conveniently come to hand.
Hereafter we would advise candidates for the
special favor of the government, if they wish for
success, to 90 to the Patent Office and steal the
Jewels. What moral spectacle Here is an I'M
doubted burglar 1T out of custody second time,

The trait in General Taylor's character which u

same admirable tact which characterized him in
leading armies, and conducting the late Presid,n

sayings and doings during his recent tour. Wholly
unused, by his profession and habits of life IN sH
dressing public assemblies, he, nevertheless has no,
uttered single indiscreet or unwse sentence In All
his harangues So far from H. all his speeches arc
marked by that good judgment, that unaffected ain
