were passed to submit to vote OF the people
whether a convention be called to revise the
state constitution to grant the right OF way TO
tho San Francisco and Los Angeles Telegraph
Company and to appropriate SlOO,O0O to ald
trans sentimental telegraph lines. The appro-
priations for ordinary state purposes exceed
81 100000 The favorite objects OF the ma
iority of the legislature were defeated by the
governors veto, or by his Withholding his ap-
proval of them. on the last day of the session.
These were the San Francisco bulkhead bill ;
the bill approprating S250000 to build nine
wagon roads over the mountains to the Wash

was to permit newspapers to be sued for libel
in any county Of the state, irrespective Of the
residence Of plaintiff or defendant; and an act
providing for the issue of 100000 Indian war
bonds, unless Congress should sooner redeem
them. This heavy responsibility assumed
was the subject of general remark. The ma.
Jority of the people appear to heartily sustain
the vetoes.
News is received that twenty camels from
Siberia will arrive at San Francisco about
midsummer, and be used instead OF mules for
mountain express and freight business be-
tween California and Salt Lake. Rumor pre-
walls that the Rothschilds have sent out an

CHICAGO, May IA An informal gathering
OF German republicans from different states
took place today, to consult about the best
method of securing the largest support OF the
foreign born citizens for the nominee of the
Chicago convention The resolution arrived
at was to endeavor to obtain from the rcpubli-
can national convention plank in their plat
form, recognizing perfect equality and protcc
ton to all citizens at home or abroad and de
claring against any extension of the present
term OF naturalization, and against any dem
Onstration between native and adopted citizens
as to their qualification as voters
Messrs. Seward, Chase, Lincoln, and Wade,
were the presidential preferences of gentlemen
present. The idea of holding convention
during the holding of the national convention
seemed to meet with no favor.
CHICAGO, May 14.-F. Blair, Horace Gree.
ley, John ID. Detrees, j. c. Vogel, Jas b.
Eads, and DR.. A. Wammer, have issued an
appeal to the delegates to nominate Bates at
Chicago. The main reasons why they want
him nominated are because he lives in slave

The trains to-day have brought large Access

delegates. The arrivals were made the occa-
sion of much enthusiasm and to night the
public buildings are Illuminated. The Wide
Awakes are out in large force and the most in
tense enthusiasm is manifested. Bands of
music are marching with the delegations who
have just arrived, and already the hotels are
filled to overlooking.
CHICAGO, May 14-The weather is beau
tiful, and the excitement and crowd are in.
creasing. Mr.. Stewards friends are very
hopeful relying upon parts of the New Jer
sey, Illinois, and Pennsylvania delegations,
but giving up Indiana. Mr.. Rollins of Mis-.
souri, writes that if Bates is nominated he will
take the nomination for governor, and carry
the state in August on the republican platform.
Mr.. Lane, republican candidate for governor
of Indiana, says that with Seward he and his
party will be inevitably defeated but with
Bates, Mclean, or Lincoln, and perhaps 9TH
ers, he can sweep the state.
The opponents of Mr.. Seward insist that he
cannot be nominated, since the doubtful states
continue solid against him, and to all appear
ances they must remain SO. The California
delegation holds letters from Fremont, posi-.
lively Withdrawing his name.
