CALIFORNIA APPoINTMENTs.-As 1t is not
in our power to give any information upon
this most interesting subject TO our readers,
we append the following from the New
York Times correspondence Of the 2Sth;
Soon after the Senators get away, the
President will be ready to proceed deliber-
ately with the distribution Of patronage in
the various States. The remaining New
York appointments will probably be taken
up and disposed Of first in order, and then
the California appointments, it is thought,
will be promptly made. The President and
Secretaries will have occasion for scrupu-
lous care 10 making their selections Of OH
GERS for the Pacific coast A more desper-
ate set Of bad men never sought to control
Federal appointments, than are some Of
those who seek to be intrusted with Official
position 10 the State Of California at the
present hour. In some Of these California
cases distinct and specific charges Of dis
honesty have been preferred, which the can
didates attempt to parry by producing gen
eral testimonials to good character, signed
by respectable men, who can only testify
that, so far as they know, their proteges
never stole anything, but who do not touch
the point Of disproving the specific facts In
volved in the charges made. OF course
such testimony will not be allowed to over
ride the positive and specific statements Of
reputable men, who Indicate their readiness
to make them good or abide the consequen-
ees. There are good men and true Repub-
licans enough in all the States to GIL all the
ofiees-so that there is no necessity for &C.
cepting those against whom reasonable sus-
piciOn lies. l-.

pleased to greet him on bis advent amongst
Us again, we arc still more 50, coming as
he does with a character undeiled and spot
less, maugre the contcmptible calumnies
and unblushing slanders which we're indus-
triously and 50 unsparingly propagaied
against him for The past two years. The
power Of truth Is Vindieaied fully 10 his re-
gard; and the maligniiy Of those who had
exhausted their Ingenuity Ia traducing Mr..
Stevens fails to be successful. Even tho
stump oratory which derived its oloquenco
from the virulenee Of hate has proved Itself
insufficient to the purpose It advocated ID
enmlty and jealousy. Mr.. Stevens returns
TO bis home and his constituents with the
proud consciousness that bis reputation j.
uhihjured and his Official record undecided
and unspotied. Even now. BIS calumnia.

Col WALLACE ALL R1GHT.-A dispatch was

from Col Wallace, stating that he was well

others to get into other regiments. We un.

Department that he also has full regiment

laiayette the rendezvous for his regiment,
while Col. Meredith will establish his head
quariers st Indianapolis. AS soon as the Coy.
ernor returns from New York, the companies
competing the new regiments will be ordered
into camp. The promptucss with which the
