WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Ovn DirFIcULTIRS WITH REFERENCE TO THE Istamus Transits.—The travel across the isthmus trensits having been often interrupted, the Govetyment of the United States has been embarrassed as to the mode it should adopt to keep them open and preserve their freedom to the world. This embarrassment bas resulted not from any want of disposition to preserve their freedom, but from the often communi- eated and generally received principle of inter- national law, that no Government can interfere by force for the preservation of rights which any of its citizens may acquire by virtue of contracts made between them and any foreign Government. The justice of this principle is evident; since, if the contrary were the rule, one Government might by force interfere to control the decisions of another, and thus the latter would lose its nationality by ceasing to be a sovereign Power. Every State, to be sov- ereign and independent, must exercise within its own territorial limits absolute, uncontrolled jurisdiction, in its own mode, free from foreign interruption. But it must be apparent to every man that this rule is not applicable to the cases of Panama and Nicaragua; the rights of transit across either isthmus not being the result of strictly private contracts. We understand contracts to be of three kinds : private, public, and public and private com bined, or “mixed*’ contracts. The Transit contracts given by the Governments of New Granada and Nicaragua are of the latter kind, since, while in each the right is given to a pri- vate company to establish an intercommunica- tion between the oceans, the company is com- pelled, as a condition to the enjoyment of the right, to take the citizens and subjects of ail the nations of the earth on equal and common terms, across such line of intercommunication. Thus it will be seen, that by means of these technically private grants, the whole world has acquired a freedom of transit before then really unenjoyed by any portion of-it. If by these so-called private grants the citizens of the United States acquired a right before not pos- sessed by them, then the grant is to be re- garded as public and private, or mixed. The right having been acquired by the entire pub- lie, the mode of its acquirement becomes im- material No matter whether the public takes it by direct cession from government to government, or by one government to another through the means of a grant to private citizens. It is the right that is valuable—not the specific mode adopted to secure it; and being unce acquired, it is within the power, and becomes the duty of the Government to uphold and protect it— equal with any other national right. If valu- able, the Government is bound to protect it against all interruption or interference on the part of the State from which it is derived. If the public right rests on a technically pri- vate grant which would cease to exist with the failure or revocation of such grant, then it is the clear duty of the Government to protect the grantees against acts of forfeiture or an- nulment not on their account alone, but as a means, and the only means of preserving and protecting the publie right. In the cases of Panama and Nicaragua, pri- vate enterprise and private capital have out- stripped our own Government, and have pro- cured for the people of this country privileges not only important but of a necessary charaec- ter. The least, then, this Government can do is to protect its people in the enjoyment of rights which private ,citizens have secured for them, and which the Government itself failed toestablish. Let us be distinctly understood. While we no not advocate governmental inter- ference for the enforcement of contracts strietly private between citizens of the United States and a foreign government. we do insist that it is its duty (and that it must be held responsi- bie for the omission to perform it) to protect the inviolability of every public right, valu- able or invaluable. no matter by what form or mode of cession such right may have been ac- quired. While we are ready to award great credit to Private corporations for securing to our whole people valuable public privileges. we are not their defenders against a well settled principle of international law. We are ready to thank them for what they have voluntarily done for the country It is the defence of the public Tight that we advocate ; and if this can only be done by protecting private individuals in rights vested in them by contract, we not only advo- cate, but insist on that method (of defence.) We may be considered as announcing a new principle of international law; but interna- tional law springs from international necessi- ties, and the defence Ly each nation of each and all of its public rights is an act of the first and most sovereign necessity. 1f this rule has not hitherto been acted upon, it will be, be- cause it must be.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, yesterday, drew a picture of the Tuffianism, violence, and murder which for the past five years have disgraced the city of New Orleans—and which led w the formation of the Vigilance Committée—as a lesson and an in- citement to popular vigilance in the just ad- ministration of municipal affairs.

Marcy’s train bad been cat off by the Mormons. Ratuer Tart.—A fair correspondent sends us the following criticism upon Southern eulo- gies of the late Rey. Mr. Tyng, Dr. Bethune’s defence of the South, &c. : Some time since, a clergyman of the Church, in a Northern city, rose in bis pulpit a Sabbath day, and delivered a political bara denunciatory of the South, interlarded with viru- lent ana vulyar abuse of the then Executive, and filled throughout with 1a: lage of she utmost ss and violence. This wanton desecra- fiod’s day and God’s temple dixgusted the congregation before whieh the display was made, to such a degree that, on the next Sunday, out of the hundreds usually in attendance, scarcely fifty were present. ‘The affair ended by the cler- gyman being compelled to resign his charge, and the congregation supplying tieuueives wi a rector who Would have more regard for the time- honored practice of the Episcopal Church than to use the | spe for fanatical stump speeches. A few weeks ago, the “ freedom: shrieking” parson died. and—would it be believed?—the readers of the Southern Churchman, a religious paper pub- lished at Alexandria, Va., were regaled, week after week, with the praises of a man who had so slandered the South, and the President ‘whom the South delighted to honor,” as to disyust even a Northern congregation into separating from him. Column after column was filled with ac- counts of all he said and did, and all that every- body around him said and did; in short, it seemed to be the editor's intention to Tynz his readers to death. All the more singular does such a course appear, since it was never known, before, that the deceased was a great man. He suppostd, by those who knew him, to pos- s the weak ss of character of bis distinguish dl father, without being so fortunate as to have in- herited bis abilitie The Southern Churehman sbould have given but a bare announcement of the man’s death; or, better still, have passed it vy without notice It is insufferable that one cannot take up @ professedly Southern paper, without fiuding it filled with laudations of a brawling abolitionist. If it be said that a spirit of Chris. tian forgiveness dictated the editors course, it will be dificult to make any person of sense be- lieve that religion obliges a man to go out of bis way to kiss anybody's shoe Religion never made a man mean-spirited, since the world be- gan; and no mau can excuse his own want of self- reapecton that score. Bot the Churchman is not the only one who has pursued an utterly sepuleive course on this subject. Some one, emboldened uo doubt by bis example, advertised that there would be adis- the life and death of the abolition U7 At Piedmont, Va, a few days since, the ise im the north branch of the Potomac was so great as to overtiow a large portion of the town. ‘The citizens were obliged to leave their houses in hog-troughs, or on rafts, and one fellow who, in spite of the remonstrances of his neighbors, per- sisted in remaining at his house, was finally com- pelled to abandon it by swimming, with bis wife on bis back. ‘Ihe fellow came near losing bix life by the operation, and was only saved by clinging to jogs and planks which bed been sent to him by those on the shore.

They are all required to work ten hours a day.” ee ‘Tue Sgarcn vor Savers —The vigilance cf the British naval officers in violating treaties aud international law by searchiug vessels under pre- tence that they suspect them of being slavers,has aroused the indignation of Spain, it is said, and the Spanish Legation in this city is reputed to be in receipt of information that the Governor Gen- eral of Cuba had adopted measures to prevent British violations of the sovereign rights of Spain in entering the harbors and Waters of Cuba to search vessels. ‘The war vessel Isabella II hed been dexpatcbed for this Purpose.

Truly, one would think the editor rather favored Northern ignorance and impudence, as regards the South, than otherwise. Listen to the brainless blusphemy of a commis- serator of the South, which a Southern journal can suffer to rest umcondemned on its pages: «Rev. Dr. Bethune deprecated the idea of no fellowsbip with slavebolders, for that vas ¢x- com ing them from the Churca of God; and thus the unhappy South was prevented from Aawing the Gospei le thought the devil never instituted heme so traly malignant as this prevent the spread of the Gospel. The wo: cannibals in Africa, the natives of Congo, wonld have the Gospel preached to them : but the extreme wen of the North would first deny the South the Bible, and then deny them the tract. Wha’, then, was tobecome of these mil- tions? Were they to be permitted to go down to hell because these extreme people willed it? God forbid !** Powerful people these extremists! The power of excommunicating has been believed, by one Uranch of the Christian Church, to reside with the “successor of St. Peter,’’ at the Vatican, and by the other branches, not to reside any where. But it seems they were both mistaken. According to this Dr. Bethune, the extremists ot the North hold the keys of heaven and hell! Now if there was but one La er in the North, be might ay to inspire a little terror by bis threatenings, but as there are any guenuity, “of popes there, it is to be feared that their ‘ excom- munication”? will not scare the South much. They are too plenty. In certain latitudes, the people generally do not hold blark-berries in very high estimation. And then, in, how is the South to hold in proper awe and respect a million or so of popes, who will allow a man to tell them to their faces that they are as‘ malignant as the devil?’’ If people—popes as weil as others— wish to be respected abroad, they must begin by causing themselves to be respected at home. “« What, then, is to become of these millions,” asks Dr. Bethune; why, if their fate depends on the fiat who are as “ malignant as the devil,” as he says it does, it is very easy to tell what is to become of them. ‘Are they to be permitted to go down to hell? ‘To be sure theyare. Bat, badinage aside, what is the name for the imbe- cility of mind that can cause a man to assert that the well being, eternal or otherwise, of the hap- piest, wealthiest, most refined and delightful portions of America, if not of the world, with it innume-able churches, colleges and schools, its myriad homes whe e may be found the fatle-t beauty and pride of comfort and spirit of social life, and, above all (so faras the North cerned,) its King Cotton and Qneen Su nds on any thing that any set of people in the North ean accomplish. 1s therea straight jacket in the world straight enough for such a prodigy of craziness Wasttinc roNIENNE. Wasuincton, May 39. Tue Mexory or tae Deap.—We had be- lieved that everybody, possessing ordinary humanity, would sufficiently respect the mem- ory of the deceased to suffer the grass to grow on their graves before seeking to use the in- fluence they may have possessed for the further- ance of selfish or partizan purposes. Thi-, we find, is a delusion, for there are those in this country professing to be “Icaders in all that elevates and ennobles mankind.” who are will- ing to violate this decent regard for the feel- ings of bereaved and sorrowing friends. Of this a melancholy instance is afforded in con- nection with the late Thomas Il. Benton. The New York Tréhvue and other kindred journals Were so anxious to avail themselves of the authority of his name for the promotion of their political heresies, that they did not even wait for the corpse to be clothed in its burial habiliments ere they invoked his alleged con- versations to give effect to their attacks on the Administration ; and asserted, too, that he ut- tered the sentiments attributed to him while in a dying condition, and when it is fair to presume his desire was to be at peace with all mankind. The transcendental philosophy and higher- lawism of those journalists may justify them in such a course, but to ordinary common sense people it is disgusting, and to the friends of Mr. Benton really offensive. The aggravation is also augmented by the refiection that the object sought to be accomplished could have been equally attained by withholding these publications for months to come. For ou™ present purpose it is immaterial whether the statements were true or false. If true, they were calculated to awaken unkind feelings on the parts of those friendly to Mr. Buchanan towards Mr. Benton, before they had even paid the first tribute of respect to his memory. If fulse, feelings of bitterness against the tradu- cers would be thereby intruded into assoaia- tions sanctified by mourning for the recent dead. That they are false, however, no one doubts, who knows anything of the circum- stances attending Mr. Benton's life; but our design in adverting to them was only to protest against such hyena-like invasion of the solem- nity of the funeral rites with contentions and eriminations growing out of the alleged words or deeds of the departed. No ordinary cause can justify such heartlessness. Tar Diviston or GeorGetowN Question — The following letter comes to us from an intel- ligent Georgetown correspondent. who for many years past has been perhaps the most useful citizen of that Corporation, so far as effective attention to its interests before Congress is cor- cerned. Under such circumstances, it is our duty to call the earnest attention of the Star's Congressional readers, especially, to its state- ments and suggestions, as follows: GEorGETOWN, June 3, 1858 Editor of the Star: Somebody made a very er- roneous statement in the Star of last evening. As that paper bas a much larger circulation hee than any other one, (iarger, indeed, than all the other papers together published in the District.) and is read, too, by every member of Congress, I hope you will allow me to correct that statement That correspondent says, in substance, thgt many years ago it had been hoped that Georgetown would ome a place of commerce and trade, ** but that such reasonable expectations then en- tertained are no longer entertained,” and that it is proper that the town sboula be so far broken up as to cede away to the * country”? a large part of its territory. It is to be reyreted that any man who lives among us, and is in anywise identified with our interests, would have allowed himself to make such a groundiess statement Now, what are the facts. At the time he men- ‘fons, we had a population of less than two thou. sand souls The surface of our site presented little else than uumberless immense hills and valleys, which had to be cut down and filled up at a cost and labor that is almost incredible. Every thing was in a rugged condition, and these natural obstacles had to be subdued by the arm of judustry. That, in a word, was then our condition—what is it now? We have a popula- tion of twelve thousand happy and respectable people; we have tive immense tlouring mills, one of them, in its capacity, exceeded only by two others in the United States; we have a large cotton factory ; an iron factory; we ship three hundred thousand barcels of flour a year, and liumense quantities of other produce. We have paid, during the last ten years, about three hun- dred thousand dollars for duties into the nations treasur ndalarger body of prosperous bus’- ness men, trading upon their own hard earned capitals, with high reputations at Lome and abroad, than we ever had before. The hum of honest, untiring industry is heard in every di- tection. ‘That is briefly the s y of affrs mow. Such is the place that is represented by your corres- poudent to be a fixed fact failuce—a place to be walled in as an obsolete idea, a mere spectzcle of superannuation and hopeless decrepitude. He uts his statement in the hands of our best friends u Congress, who are laboring at this very time to get an appropriation of 861,000 to deepen our channel for the express purpose of facilitating the commerce of Georgetown. J regret that we should have even one internal foe, when we have so many elsewhere. H. A.
