Tax Nicaragua Transit Iuercerio Draw, Ing to 4 Crosz.—‘‘Ion,”’ the Washington respondent of the Baltimore Sun, who, th that journal, the New York Jowrnéhof Cém- ‘and New letter (to the S: pany to which we refer despatched the Wash- ington not long since from New York with some four hundred and fifty rs who had paid for through tickets to San Francisco, with a foreknowledge that the steamer on the other side, the Hermann, could not meet them. Amore apparently wanton effort toinjure the business of an industrial enterprise was never pennedthan is involved in this in- sinuation. Were it true, it would prove that the company, after having invested a million and s half of dollars in their undertaking, had de- liberately: determined to destroy it. “lon’s’ pretence is a surmise that the Washington was sent around ‘‘the Horn’’ without any pro- vision for coaling her on the Pacific side—a falseone. It will be impossible in the nature of things to hear of the Hermann on the Pacific side until news of her arrival at San Juan del Sur comes, via the Nicaragua transit route and the Washington, on the latter's returo trip. The Hermann isa faster vessel than any other on the Pacific plying south of Panama, and as she prodeeds on her voyage without delay, unless some unforseen accident should oceur, whieh there is no reason whatever to anticipate, no other ship could bring news of her progress on her voyage. Thus, the first information that can reach New York concern- ing her will be that she has duly taken her passengers on board at San Juan del Sur, and sailed thence for San Francisco. It is hardly worth while again to explode the equally sinister story of the writer referred to above, that the passengers of the Washington were fillibusters; a desperate fabrication of the Vanderbilt-interest mint,to serve V seperate game. Below we print a letter from New York. which shows that Vanderbilt's game of oppo- sition to the reopening of the Nicaragua route, pluyed under the pretence of desiring himself to obtain a charter for running it, is fairly played out, and that he has at length adopted the policy of selling his steamships on the Pa- cifie side to the Panama Company—s step agreed on between them to be carried out when- ever his efforts to keep the Nicaragua route closed should prove abortive. The $56,000 per month subsidy, paid to him, has been paid on condition that he refrained from employing those ships on the Nicaragua route, and also kept that route closed. Ag the success of the first voyage of the Washington and Merman puts a stop to his continued receipt of the sub- sidy, the Panama Company buy his ships on the Pacific side to enable them to undertake the task of running the Nicarazua route com- pany out of the business, and at the same time preventing him—Vanderbilt—from running an opposition line (to them) era the Panama isth- mus. This is the key to the statements of the letter we publish below, which is from the pen of a Nicaraguan long familiar with the ins and outs of the contest over the Nicaragua transit route, and the combination between the Pan- ama Company and Vanderbilt to keep it closed by the extraordinary means to which thore parties have resorted. New Yorx, Nov-16, 1958. Editor of the Washington Star: 8 t is now noturious that Mr. Cornelius it bas sold to the Pacific Mail Company the steamers Cortez, Orizaba, Uncie Sam, and Sierra Nevada, now laying at San Francisco, and has agreed to place two additional steamers on the line between New York and Aspinwall. So long as it was thought possible by him to obtain a charter fiom Nicaragua, he exerted every intlaence at Lis commaud to procure it No means were left untried to unsettle the minds of official persons in Nicarazua to the prejudice of the American Atlantic and Pacific Sbip Canal cement, which has a past and valid charter: and z fat gion % le pmigen J re im- broglio confusing ¢) ic mind, both here and tn Ni “y i {twas not the charter that he wanted, for any good purpose of working under it bona fide as a competing line tothe Panama route—ti he bad operated at all, he would so bave mat- ters that fhe competition would have been a sham. it is quite an easy matter to work over the Nica- ragua route, and yet keep prices so high that Panama should not be damaged. Bat there are more than ordinary reasons for asserting that Commedore Vanderbilt wanted the charter to keep itin bis pocket; also, to retain the $56,000 monthly stipend in his pocket, likewise, p o- vided he kept down the Nicaragua opposi Every month of delay was worth $56 000 to bin; and ifbe bad obtained the charter, how easy it would be to drag it along for a year. by amend- ments, &c. to besouybt from Nicaragua. and ob- tained bysecret means. Delay was everything to bim; and a little money Lead ged appl ed in Nic- aragua would have procu: i f the Govern- ment cle +: bad had ordinary penetration, this course of Mr. Vanderbilt must have been manifest to them for the past twelve moaths. But that Government is not a acious Government; it is short-sighted—at times it 1s timid to prostra- tior, at ornily rash and pabene. ‘Tae actual opening of Nicaragua line b tbe American Kttantic and Pacific Ship Cansl Company, under its charter, by the sailing of the Wasbington with a full load ef passengers for San Juan del Norte, en route for California, bas brought the concerns of the Commodore and the Pacific Mail Company to a crisis, and compelled them to show their bands; and the public an- nouncement of the sale of the four steamers to the Mail Company is # consequence which surprises noone. It isto be hoped the Federal Govern- neut will now open Its eyes, and admit the neces- sary conclu-ion that monopoly is sought to be strengthened by this arrangement, as the Gov- ernment bas 50 repeatedly been advised. We sball hear very little, if anything, after this, om the question of the validity of the char- ter of the Canal Company—it results, beyond contradiction, that Mr. Vanderbilt Las not, nor ever had, «charter. Matters will resolve them- selves into a roots opposition between rival lines;, Niearagua will be glad to form bonds of friendship with the chartered company, which it is her interest and political security to draw closer to her, instead of placing obstacles in its course and be made the cst’s-paw to enable the tich Commodore to pocket the tribute of $56,000 ® month, paid by the Pacific Mail Company to destroy the best interests of that republic. I remain, sir, yours, respectfully, ane Ocvr Pustic Scuoous.—For several years past our citizens have been continually re- minded that the fund for the support of public schools in Washington is utterly insufficient. Hundreds of children who should be receiving the advantages of these institutions, are annu- ally denied admission, because the schools are 40 fall that they cannot be accommodated, and the amount of money at the disposal of the Commissioners is too small to permit theestab- lishment of additional schools. Some of the schools, too, are looated in sheds andpellars— (called, by courtesy, one-story houses and base- ment+)—for the reason that there is not enough money to enable the Commissioners to make more suitable provision for them. The teach- ers are notonly poorly accommodated, but their salaries are far below what they should be. Yet, in the face of all this, we are told that some among those having control of our public schools propose the carly establishment of a high school, and of night schools. It seems to us sheer nonsense to project any such measures at this time. Why, the entire school fund would not more than suiflice to ¢s- tablish and maintain two good high schools— ope for males and the other for females; and to take from the present schools enoagh to estab- lish anyfhing like a sufficient number of night schools would necessarily involve the breaking up ot several of the primary schools. Under the disadvantages surrounding our present sys- tem, it isapparent that the duty of those having charge of the schools is to make every exertion to increase, rather than decrease, the number of primary schools. It is this grade which ac- comptishes by far the greatest amount of good. The children of poor people can attend these in are old enough out to employment, and obtain in them the ru- diments of education. When that class of chil- dren \@Rage sufficient to enter even our pen’ the necessities of the parents are in a great majority of cases, as to render ‘tive on them to take their children from and place them in situa- where they may assist in maintaining ‘I¢ was for such children that public echools were y provided; and while we are posed to limiting them to any particular cl of citizens, we” equally opposed to that icy ‘which would provide for acquiring a complete English education for the Broportionally few ebildren who would be able to attend high schools; and, at the same time, actually decrease the chances for the children of those in humbler circumstances, to obtain even the rudiments of learning. While there 1s @ pecuniary inability, then, to make even partial provision for all the children in the city, let those who would have their children thor- oughly educated, psy for the tuition they may require, after enjoying all the advantages our existing grades of public schools afford. It is hardly likely that such as are able to support their children while attending a high school, are not also fally able to pay the price of their tuition therein. If, however, there were funds enough to provide a sufficient nusiber of pri- mary schools, grammar schools, and high schools for all, we would be as ardently in favor of their establishment as any body else. 5 It is not our purpose to argue against nigh schools, if the school fand were sufficient to support them, we only contend that the money spent for them would be far more advantage- ously applied ifeppropriated to sustain primary schools; and, hence, while there arg not enough of the latter to accommodate halt the children of the city, we are opposed to their being further reduced, and the money devoted to something less beneficial. As fur making ar- Tangoments now, with the expectation that Congress will comply with the request of our citizens, and make an appropriation fgg our public schools, while we hold that it is right and proper for Congress to do so—that it is, in fact, a duty that body owes to this commu- nity—we are not so sanguine that it will be done as to believe that the time has arrived for providing for the expenditure of such a Prospective appropriation. It would be wiser to get the money first, and we may rest assured there will be no lack of opportunities to apply it, and that, too, in a manner highly beneficial. There is danger, in spending it in advance, that we spend more than we obtain. Fernanpina arp Cepar Key Rainoap.— The Secretary of the Interior yesterday ap- Proved to the State of Florida a grant for 284,- 68 acres of land enuring to that State under the act of May 17th, 1856, to aid in the con- struction of railroads. This grant is applica- ble to the road extending from Fernandina, on the Atlantic, to Cedar Key, on the Gulf of Mexico, one of the most important railroads probably in the extreme south. A considerable portion of it has been in operation for more than a year past; and it is expected that the entire road will be completed and put in work- ing order as carly as the Ist of January next. At both its termini there are said to be good harbors; and it is confidently believed that the improvement will liberally compensate the public spirited gentlemen who originated and constructed it. Mr. Yulee, one of the United States Senators from Florida, is the president of the company owningwthe road, and it owes its rapid completion, probably, chiefly to his energy and business talent. In this connection, we may add that a com- pany has already been organized, having for its object the establishment of a line of steam- org to run from New York to Fernandina, the eastern terminus of the road, which will prob- ably touch at Charleston and Savannah. The same company also propose to establish another line of steamers to ply between the western terminus of the road, at Cedar Key, and Te- huantepec, where they will connect with the route across the isthmus, thus converting the road into a link of the continuowt-route of travel from New York to the Pacific coast. Other lines will, no doubt, be established from Cedar Key to Mobile, New Orleans, Galveston, Vera Cruz, and other ports on the Gulf of Mexico, and even to cities on the Mississippi as far upasSt. Louis. The construction of this road will conduce greatly to accelerate the fill- ing up of that part of the State of Florida, and converting its present wilds into valuable plan tations.
