California Appointments

Much doubt and uncertainty prevails in
5egard 10 the appointments for California
reported on the arrival of the Orisdba.
The Bulletin says that the intelligence is
reliable, and San Francisco gentlemen has
telegraphed to the State Journal, that they
may be, on their report being correct. They
are also endorsed by the Globe Of the 23d'
The State Journal contains the following
extract from letter from W. r. Garrison,
Esq Agent of the Nicaragua steamship
line, written to a member af the Assembly.
Mr.. Garrison says;
"No appointments had been made when
our steamer left The old gentleman &C. Il.
Garrison) telegraphed to Washington on the
morning OF the sailing Of the steamer, to
learn what appointments had been made, dut
none Rad transpired, This as the rery Ia
test"
The Journal also, has the following in re-
ply to telegraphic dispatch to reliable
gentleman in San Francisco :

CORPORATION LIMrTs.-We are disposed
TO complain Of the very limited corporate
boundaries of Orovile Many of our BUSH
ness men, who are deeply interested the
prosperity Of the town, and whose property
will be taxed for corporate purposes, have
their residences outside of the boundaries,
and. consequently will not be entitled to
vote at the municipal elections. This Is not
only the ca Sc at the lower end of town, but
is also found to exist at the head Of Mont
gomery street, where the bluff intersects the
river. Men who have chosen their residcn-
ces remote from the dust and business Of
the town, are not entitled to voice in the
city government.
This is to be regretted, and we hope that
a change in the boundaries of the corpora
ton, will be deemed advisable, and effected
at the earliest opportunity. The result of
the present boundaries of the town will be
a very light municipal vote, and not fair
representation of the qualified electors in
OrOvile.

SETTLERS ORGANIzATIoN.-Thes settlers
on the Bolton & Barron claim, embracing
the Mission lands Of San Francisco, held a
meeting few days since, for the purpose of
forming an organization for mutual protec-
ton. The recent confirmation Of the grant
by the IT, S. District Court, has naturally
excited considerable Indignation Several
committees were appointed, and series of
resolutions ives adopted, of which the follow
ing will indicate the spirit
Resolued - That we, the undersigned,
hereby associate ouselves together for mutual
protection, and will defend against any and
all persons who may attempt to invade our
rights or trespass on lands now in our pos
session.

QUARTZ CONVENTION. We learn that a
call is about to be issued to the various
quartz miners throughout the State, to meet
il Sacramento sometime during the first
week in June. The object for such a meet
ing is for consulting as to the most practical
Bile means for extracting gold from quartz,
aud the expression of the views of the mi
ners generally. There are several large op-
orators in quartz making extensive arrange
ments for calling the convention. meet
ing of this kind would doubtless be a very
large one, and of highly interesting char
acter.
