Appolptment by the Governor

Hon. Christopher P. Wolcott was appointed
Judge Advocate General,T of the State oflOhio
with the rank Of Colonel. This is an appoint.
mept eminently. fit to be made. The distin-
guished legal ability of Mr.. Wolcott, as ds-
PLAYED in bis brilliant career as Attorney Gen.
eral of Ohio, has made him reputation second
70 no lawyer In the State. ln these times OF
trouble his services as the legal adviser In the
military department of the State, will be hailed
with pleasure by our people OF all parties.
We copy the above from the Ohio STATE Jour
nal of this morning. Itis difficult TO read the
extraordinary puff of Mr.. WoLcorT with grav'
ity. His "brilliant career as Attorney Gen
eral." has been a series of blunders which have
no parallel in the csteeroi any other officer Of
the State of Ohio. Tr,. vf
By following bis lilEc conceived and unlawful
advice In the canal contract cases. the treasury
has lost at least $500, 900, and Is now involved
in troublesome litigation with the Contractors.
By pursuing his advice in the various rescue
cases, in whichit was attempted to put thefu-
gitive slave law at defiance, the State has per
formed part in the sectional strife, which has
had great influence in exciting and inaaming
the people OF the Southern States.
By pursuing his advice in the extfadition cas-
ca, the Executive Of the States has acted in bad
iaith, and is now dragged before the Supreme
Court Of the United States, to show cause why his
constitutional duty was not performed to Ken
lucky, in the rendition Of d fugitive from JUS
tice, on the demand Of the Governor of that
State. H1aF- LEGDIe
The truth ia the administration of Mr. VOL
ooTr has been series of plumbers Of the gra-
vest character, and we may expect in his new
office, continuation of the same line Of policy.
What is there in the condition Of our military
depar tment requiring such an 'adViser" atthia
timel We confess to our Ignorance, and hope
our contemporary may enlighten us'on the SUBJ
ject, confident, however, that instead of hailing
the appointment Of Mr.. WoLeorr at this time,
aud to the place referred to, with pleasure, y
the people Of the State Will look upon it as a
