EVENING STAR. — WASHINGTON OITY MONDAY Noricx To MEMBExs oF ConcREss.—Members of Congress can have their speeches printed with neatness and dispateh, at the Star office Price, for 5,000 copies of a sixteen-page speech, one cent and a balf each; for 0,000 or more, one cent each. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Uuron examines the recent speech of Count Cavour, the head of the Sardinian Min- istry, as illustrating the position of the liberal membersof European Governments, as opposed to the theories of the Red Republicans. It thinks that our people, at leasi, should begin to draw a distinction, so far as our transatlantic brethren are concerned, between the advocates of revolution—which seems to be a mere joint- stock enterprise of a few wild adventurers—and the sober-minded friends of liberty. . In another article, the Uniun represents the sppointments for reinforcing our army in Utah to be most ample and thorough. It praises the material which makes up the force, saying: ‘Its officers are the men who led the forces evhich won so many laurels for our national brow upon the plains of Mexico; its men are the soldiers who won the many brillant battles there, who conquered a new empire for our eon- federacy.’’ And it goes on to predict that the conflict on the plains of Utah “ will be an en- counter between a thoroughly-disciplined corps and an impetuous and courageous militia. The relative numbers of the combatants will be about two to one, and the advantages und dis- advantages on either side being duly consid- ered, the match must be confessed to be about an even one.’’ The quick passage of the appropriation bill argues, in the judgment of the Uwion, prompt dispatch of business for the remainder of the fession. The Union also proclaims the backbone of the Republicans broken and their fires going out, on the Kansas issue. The utelligencer discusses the joint resolu- tion now pending in Congress, authorizing the President to use force in the settlement of our difficulties with Paraguay, and not regarding it as a coercive measure save in the event of a contumacy which would argue a determined hostility on the part of the Paraguayan Presi- dent, is disposed to think that its adoption by Congress would be little likely to pass into a dangerous precedent for the future, and accord- ingly advocates its adoption set] _—- Sovrmern Generar ConreRence.—The gen- eral Conference of the M.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Tax Nicaragua Treatx.— The following dhising expose concerning the oppotition to the ratification of this treaty be te of the United States is from the New YoritHerald of Tuesday last : 3 Tue Cass-IRisaRRt TREATY. EW. we. Ton Losey AND WALKER FILIBUSTERS FIRING ur.—With the settlement of the Kansas question the factious ayitators at Washington are driven to the alternative of casting about them for some other issue w which to keep up their fire against the Administration, and from the article Which we transfer to these columns from the Washington States, it will be seen that the fac- tionists and lobby interests represented by that paper bave lost no time in finding a new subject 0 quarrel abont. In the outset Maj. Helss ir ood enough to say that inthe new Nicaragua treaty Mr: Buchanan bas “ made a grand and noble stand towards the emancipation of our inter-American relations; but then we are told that “there 1s a corrupt in- trigne behind it,”’ ‘an invisible rider,” a + dis- honest monopoly of a scheming cliqne of North- ern speculators, who propose to throw tna garri- sou of three thousand abolitionists to colonize the country for their uliar benefit,’? and that un- less the treaty shall be “ relieved from this invis- ible rider, smugyled in by White, Irisarri & Co., it will not pass the Senate." Now, between this view of the case and that which we also give to- day from the Richmond Enquirer, there is a very Temarkable difference; buat it may easily be ae- counted for. The Richmond editor locks at the question simply in the light of an important inter- national treaty. He is not mixed up with Walker filibusters, nor with the Nicaragua stockjobbers; and he is therefore ina position to discuss the subject fairly and candidly, and without the prejedice of a disappointed filibsterorspeculator. ‘The interests embodied in this treaty consist of two classes: First, the reciprocal, political and commere'at interests of the high contracting par- ties, the United States and the state of Nicara- gna; secondly, the interests of the T.ansit spec- ulators aud stock and lobby jobbe clusively to the local government agna. In regard to the future international relations be- tween the two countries, even the States admits that this new treaty ‘‘ will remaina bright and abiding landmark of Mr. Buchanan’s adminis- tration ;”” but Major Heiss does not seem to com- prebend the fact that we cannot treat with Nica- ragua as a sovereign and independent S:ate with- out conceding to her the exclusive jurisdiction over her local affairs. Thus, the government at Washington has no right to interfere in the busi- ness contracts of Nicaragua concerning her ‘Tran- sit routc, except only to see that these contracts do not infringe the general stipulations in bebalf ef Americon citizens and American trade. We have no legal power tosay whether this coaperk or that company shall have the monopoly of the Transit route. We must accept the company which has secured, or which ay. secure, the privilege from the government o| Nicaragua, whether Joe White, Joe Black or Joe Brown shall turn out to be the Incky man In this connection we apprehend that the clamor of Major Heiss against this new treaty. because it makes ‘‘no demand for restitution,’ ‘no mention of past blunders, and the confisea- tion of th: rights, charters av ‘operties of our citizens,”? wiil amount to nothing. And why ? For the siniple reason tbat the jurisdiction over these matters was and is with the government of Nicaragua, and that the United States cannot be heid accountable for the losses which this party or that party may Lave suffered from the revolu- tionary changes of that «overnment. For {n- stance, we cannot recoynizs Gen Walker and his filibusters when they claimed to be, and Were admitted to be the government and citizens of the United States. Should they, in this con- nection, demand indemnity for their losses ax American citizens, they must be set aside as out- laws; and, on the other band, their only claims for restitution rest with the government of Nica- ragua. ‘When the government at Washington some two or three years ago complained that { be steamer North Star was employed by the Vanderbilt Company in the illegal transportation of filibus- ters, Mr. Joe bd at in the plea that the only jurisdiction admitted by the company over this iuatter was that of the State of Nicaragua. And. so it happened that when President Walker con- fiscated the Vanderbilt Transit property, and the Commodore appealed to Mr. Marcy for redress. tue sly old fox referred him to the State of Nica- tagua, as alone possessed of the rightful juris- diction. But the truth is, that under this Cas: Irisarri treaty the set of speculators who were lucky enough to begin inthe right quarter, Nica- ragua, and in the right way, will probably secure the Tiansit monopoly, to the defeat of all the rival cliques of inttizuers for this profitable job; and this is where the shoe pinches Major Heiss and his party of stockjobbers and ftilibusters. We apprehend, bowever, that the Senate wili appreciate the solid value of this important treaty in its peculiar reciprocities between the two countries, and the preposterous absurdity of re- jecting it because one set of speculators have been too sharp for all their competitors in secur- ing from Nicaragua the monopoly of the Transit route. But of what value are the disappoint- ments of speculators, stockjobbers, lobby Jobbers and filibusters, so long as the great interests of the people of the two countries are subserved ? Theie can be no valid objection, on this ground, to this new treaty. As we are at liberty to with- draw all guarantee and protection whenever the persons or company undertaking the control of the Transit route shall fail to provide the neces- sary and impartial regulations concerning the incidents of transportation, one com pany to bevin with is just ax good as another. And as for the “abolitionists’* and “abolition colonists,” if we could not keep them out of Kansas, how can we pretend to keep them out of Nicaragua ? Apropos, of the abolition bugbear to which the Mere/d refers. There is nothing whatever in it. The company with which the State of Nicaragua has contracted to run the Transit route is a company of business men, not poli- ticians. Not a man of them, by the by, is aught politically but a staunch opponent of abolitionism, which al! know well is not a fa- verite with the business men of New York city, where they all reside. The idea that they are about to engage in anything in Nicaragua but to transport passengers and freight across its isthmus, is the most preposterous nonsense con- ceivable. No member of the Senate of the United States is stupid enough to be coaxed into opposing the ratification of the treaty by its repetition. The company is after making money by legitimate business—not by dabbling in politics, and will of course run steamers fro:n New Orleans, as before, and any other port of the southern United States, if it will P2y so to do. They will have powerfal opposition from the Panama route. the Tehuantepec route, and the overland routes ; so it will bo necessary for them to run their steamers at the lowest possi- ble rates of fare and freight, and to offer as many facilities and accommodations to all,as possible. Common sense will teach all this fact. The company have no colonization privi- leges whatever, and know too much as to what pays and what does not pay, in business like theirs, to permit polities to become mixed up with their concerns. ENLARGEMENT OF THE CarrToL Grouxps.— We have already noticed that Senator 3 ight, from the Committee on the Public Buildings, reported a bill a few days ago providing for the enlargement of the Capitol Grounds. [t is proposed in this bill to extend the enclosure to the two Second streets east and west, and to the two C streets north and south, and condemn all the property necessary for such enlarge- ment within the space designated. The bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to make application to the Court of Claims, and re- quires that Court, upon such application and in such mode as it shall adopt, to make a just and equitable appraisement of the cash value of the interest of each owner of property to be condemned. It also provides for the payment of the appraised value of the same, reserving in all cages of dispute of title, the amount awarded until the title shall be established. It like- wise makes provision as to the manner and time of taking possession of the property. There are unusual and summary features in the bill, and it will probably undergo some radical amendments before becoming a law. For instance, it recognizes in the Court of Claims a jurisdiction hardly contemplated in the creation of that body, by making it the ap- praiter of the property condemned and the adjudicator between the owners thereof and the Government. Again, it imphes a right on the part of the Government to take the Prop- erty at a “cash” valuation, and that, too, after that value has been fixed by an instrument of the Government—the Court of Claims. This is surely a supersedence of that clause of the Con- stitution which declares “ private Property shall not be taken for public use, without just compensation.”” Now, a “cash valuation’’ of the property is ! vety seldom #“‘jast compensation’’ to the owner, but especially does it fall beneath that y when the latter is subjected to com_ pulsory deprivation of his possession. In such cages the owner expects something more, and is justly entitled to what a jury of zens may see fit to award. We the action of the Court be governed by strict rules of equity; but, under the provisions of the bill, it is prohibited from awarding more than the is a matter of intercst to our citizens, we have thought proper to al- lude to the only objectionable features of the We hope, however, that these may be removed by amendmeiits. and that the bill may then become a law. of Claims w “‘eash value.”’ contemplated act. Mr. Maynarn’s Propositios.—Mr. May- nard, of Tenn., proposes what he terms a more liberal rule to govern the admission of others than members of Congress on the floor of the House hall than that now existing. The new rule excludes almost all but members and offi- cers of the present Congress. proposes to admit hereafter all ex-members of Congress who will certify that they are not claim agents. If adopted under the change nearly all the ex-members who were formerly known as lobbyites will be pretty certain to renew their business on the floor of the hall to the great embarrassment of the business of legislation and the greater detriment of the Year by year, until the new and wholesome rule was adopted, the army of ex-member lobbyites inereased until it tairly stank in the nostrils of the country.
