Gorernor Ciark's Appointments - III. Adjufani

rship.
Governor Clark's appointments 70 his military
staff etc, excite universal dstrust In both branches
Of the wing party. AS Engineer in Chief, he hiss
appointed Joseph J. Chambers, OF Westchester, the
same gentleman whom IL Ia said was elected from
the Grand Council OF the Know Nothing Society
which convened in New York city last October.
Mr.. G. came there With credentials AZ a delegate
from Albany county, while 1t was claimed and de
cided that his residence was in wcstchesser. This,
II i presumed Ia the first cause Of the bogus "boly
at Utica; and as Mr.. Chambers has rendered the
incoming Governor excellent service he Il rcpId
for II by The appointment Of Engineer in Caief 90
the stat, and the important position OF Private
e%crstsry 20 his Excellency. We say important
position, because the knowing ones say that Cnam-
krs " TO b. Governor for the next two Jears.
Wei, he IL an energetic fellow, and wouldn't make
bad mag istrate, although a. politician he shoad
b. much diEtrusted. a. all politicians are becoming
wofuHy queer In their movements.
Judge ,. II. Hammond, tbs editor OF the Stat
Rgisfer, was . candidate for the appointment Of
AdJutant General. Gov. Clark repaid him iof the
ao he dered In the recent canvass rejecting De-
Ieyser, of Dutche@ for that oloe. Toe R,gist.y i'm
advocating Mr.. ClrS's election has lost caste With
the native Americans here, and as general thing
-ouahout thc STATE. and falling Of gssting the
adJutsn grreralship. Mr.. Hammond has fallen be
tween the Two, and u left high and dry o, the rocks
Of expectancy. II 10 also alleged that, during the
canvass, when the Register cana out ore morning
more Clarkish than usual IL was considefed 20 good
an uRument In favor Of his election tbs, the Erer-
INK Jcuyr0i Office procured five thousand extra
cGpies Of II, and circulated them. AL this aided
MI. Cs elec.isn; IL b. not ungrsteful 70 give the
Attorney GensrHlship 10 Depcyster, when Judge
