"The statement first published in
Washington, and communicated by
Washington correspondents to North.
ernj journals. that Governor Wells has
been appointed Provisional Governor Of
this State, has moi been confirmed, thus
Jar By any official notification to the
Gopernor. He has received no intima.
ton OF his appointment, except what is
stated in the papers. There is dificul.
ty in the way Of Gov. Wellss appoint.
ment which we imagine is the cause el
the delay, and is a source of no little
embarrassment. His present tenure
rests upon the election held under the
Constitution Of 1864. In his first pro
clamation, issued after his return from
Washington, some two months ago
Gov. Wells recognized the Constitution
oflS64 as still binding upon the people
OF the State, and has made his appoint
ments and shaped his administration ac
cording to its provisions. His appoint
!, mens as Provisional Governor, on a foot
. ing with Governors Sharkey, Perry
and Holden, would be a virtual set
ting aside of the Constitution of 1854"
