The Appointments.

Below is list of appointments of Off
GERS on the public Improvements made by
the Board of Canal Commissioners as far
as we have learned them. We believe
they are as satisfactory as any set Of ap.
pointments that could have been made
under the circumstances, and we know
that all are capable of performing their re-
spective duties in a manner creditable TO
themselves and the Canal Board. 1t will
be perceived that the duties and response
bilties of uperintending the Portage Rail-
road have been divided, and that FRANCIS
r. WEST, Esq, has been appointed Su-
perintendent and WIN. S. CAMPBELL, Esq.
Supervisor. This division has been
deemed necessary by the Canal Board,
and made with view 10 the large increase
of business which will be done on the
Portage in consequence Of the connection
between 1t and the Central Railroad. We
know Capt. WEST 10 be gentleman pos
sessing all the qualifications necessary TO
make a good riniendent-energy and
perseverance and determination to do
his duty-and we feel confident that he
will perform the duties of his Office with
ability and zeal. We believe him to be
above factional prejudices, and that he
will make his appointments on the road
purely with an eye single to the best in
terests of The State
We do not believe there is man in the
State whose well known business qualif-
cations and intimate knowledge of The
Portage Railroad, better qualify him for
Office of Supervisor than VIM. S. CAMP
BELL. He knows what is wanted on the
road to put it IN a condition 10 transact the
business of the coming season, and we
know he will have these wants supplied
to the best of his ability. The contest is
now over, and we are free to say that he
made one of the best paymasters and most
able Superintendent that was ever on that
Road. We know him well, and such is
our confidence in his integrity and sterling
honesty that we feel confident that he will
perform his duty faithfully in whatever
capacity he may be placed.
1t is expected that this division of the
Office and duties of experimenting the
Portage Road between such men as WEST
and CAMPBELL, Will be productive of har-
mony, not only in the administration of It's
affairs, but also to the democratic party OF
this county.
