EVENING STAR. INGTON CITY: meant AGE 4, 100R “Tux Stan” 18 PRINTED ON THE Stee ee mone EN Use souTH oF Batti- ORR, ITs EDITION Is $0 LARGE AS TO REQUIRE IT ‘To BE PUT TO PRES* AT AN EARLY HOUR; ADvER- TISEMENTS, THEREFORE, SHOULD BE SENT-IN BY TWELrx 0'CLOCK, M.j OTHERWISE THEY MAY NOT APPEAR UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union, treating of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, says that the dangerous controversy which has so long existed between the two Governments in regard to the true construc- tion of this treaty is now in bere ante ine. isfac| adjustment; that the princip this pe Fo cm have been finally settled be- tween the parties, and that Sir Wm. Gore Ouseley is now in Central America to embody these principles in the form of treaties with Nicaragua and Hondaras; that the sovereignty over the Mosquito territory is-to be surren- dered by Great Britain to Nicaragua, on terms which were satisfactory to the Senate of the United States, when they had the Dallas-Clar- endon treaty before them ; and that the sover- eignty of the Bay Islands is also to be surren- dered to Honduras, to which they have ever rightfully belonged—the American construe- tion of the Treaty having thus substantially prevailed. The Union thinks that the many misfor- tunes that arise from clerical interference in politics, all spring from the mistake of con- founding the two spheres of statesman and moralist, it being the province of one to say what ought be, while the other can only de- clare what can be. The Unton expresses the opinion that in the ease of a European conflict, what it calls the subserviency of English statesmen to the wishes of Napoleon would not want for popular indorse- ment, but that the reaction would place in the hands of the radicals a tremendous power, which they would not be slow to use for uni- versal suffrage, vote by ballot, and the separa- tion of Church and State. The Intelligencer, treating of Central Amer- ican affairs, agrees with the New York Jozr- ual of Commerce, that there is nothing in either the character of the persons engaged in current movements there, or in the manner in which they are proceeding, to give us Ameri- cans any cause for apprehension or jealousy with reference to M. Belly or his companions; and that we have no reason to believe that either the French or English Government is officially represented by M. Belly and Mr. Mahon, respectively. ——_——__- re. U> Four scoundrels were arrested on Wednes- day, near Dayton, Ohio, charged with attempting to throw a railroad train from the track. IF In Baltimore, on Saturday night, James Edwards, convicted on Saturday of burglary, and sentenced to seven years in the penitentiary, came very near breaking jail by digging through the stone wall of his cell. 1” A portion of the McDonough estate accru- ing to the city of Baltimore, situated mostly with- in the limits of New Orleans, was sold on the 2th ult. for $75,000, making of previous sales of the portion allotted to Baltimore, a total of $591,000. Exectiox 1x Cosxecticet.—The annual elec- tion in this State takes place to-day. State officers and members of Congress are to be elected. Upon the result with regard to the latter, the political aspect of the next House of Representatives may depend. . 7 The continued delay of the arrival of the Curacoa, with Lofd Lyons, the new British Min- ister, begins to excite some apprehensions for her safety. She is known. however, to be a very slow vessel, and'it is hardly time yet to indulge in any fears of disaster. > The Philadelphia N Conference, which has just closed its annual session in that city, passed resolutions to the effect that. in the judg- ment of the conference, the offspring of slave mothers held in the church should go free with the mother, and that deeds of manumission should not fix a later period for either sex than twenty-one years. 07 In Philadelphia, 205 builffing permits were taken out during the month of March. Of these eleven were for the erection of four-story dwell- ings; thirty-five of three-story dwellings; thi eight of two-story, one foundry, twenty-three stores, one laboratory. three offices, six factori four shops, two school-houses, one hotel. one church. I~ In New York, on Friday, the suit of Ste- phen B. Dillaye agt. Emanuel B. Hart, for assault and battery, was up before the Supreine Court. * The defendant made no defence, and the plaintiff asked that damages might be awarded by a jury at circuit, on the ground that there would be a political prejudice in favor of the defendant in the | minds of a sheriff's jury. No decision was given by Judge,Clarke. I> The Niagara was taken into the Dry Dock, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, on Thursday and ex: amined. Her bottom is much hacked. About forty feet forward and twenty feet aft of her false keel are literally ground to pieces by striking the bottom in Trinity Bay. A number of bosses in the yard have been dis- charged, and many workmen will also share the same fate, in order to make the £20,000 appropria- tion last throughout the year. | D7 The Baltimore Clipper of Saturday morn- | ing publishes (as an advertisement) what purports | to be a correspondence between Henry Gambrill, | {sentenced to be hung on the *th inst.) and his | old friend Richard Hari Gambrill charges If ris with being the guilty party, and appeals to him to save him (Gambrill) by confessing it, which he alleges Harris promised to do even if it cost his own life. Harris zdmits that he made such a promise, but excuses himself from fulfilling | it by saying that the Governor would uot believe him under oath. | Sanvixta anv Mexico.—The ramored collusion | between Sardinia and Mexico, acco-ding to which, 4 Miramon contracted to cede to Piedmont some | Mexican provinces for five millions of dollars, is | denied. Three ycars ago an agent of the Mexican | government, says the Eco d'ltalia, proposed to the Sardinian Legation in New York to cede cer- tain territory to Sardinia, but the offer was not accepted. The Italian colony that has for the Past two years in Mexico, is said to be an un- dertaking wholly independent of the Piedmon- tese government. * Pvoitive Stave at Harrisscre —Considera- ble excitement was created at Harrisburg, Penn- sylvania, on Saturday last, by the arrest of a co!- ored man named Daniel Dangerfield, by Deputy United States Marshal Jenkins, asa fugitiveslave. He is claimed to be the Property of Mrs. Eliza- beth Simpson of Virginia. He was arrested quiect- ly alittle before seven o'clock in the Morning, at the market, and placed in one of the cars of the seven o’clock train for Philadelphia, when irons ‘were put on him and be was carried off without WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. pene iesreriiaees Tne Presextuents.— wpa geteed es grand for this District county, ad- ed <P weeks, without indicting Messrs. Cullom, Seaman, and Duvall, whom they pre- sented on the day before. In the ease of Mr. Cullom, three previous grand juries had inves- tigated the allegations against him, without being able to find aught in the alleged testi- mony criminating him. Two select committees of the House of Representatives have also duly considered the same evidence, and the result of their investigations was his exoneration from the suspicion of dealing dishonestly with his trust as Clerk of the House of Representatives. The action of the present grand jury in the matter has, therefore, surprised all here except those personally familiar with the pertinacity with which he has been pursued by two or three personal enemies, before the congressional com- mittees and grand juries. He doubtless rejoices that they have at last accomplished as much as they have; in the belief that the result will be a public trial, in which he will be able to show that malice towards himself, rather than a just regard for the public interert, is at the bottom of the course of his accusers. But, unfortunately for him, there exists no law, the provisions of which make what they charge against him, if proved, an offence punishable at law. On the morning of the day the presentment was made, he (General Cullom) received a dispatch noti- fying him of the extreme illness of a member of his family. So, after going to Judge Crawford and proffering bail, he started immediately for Te ee, to return to Washington as soon as possiblo. ee Lanor anp Caritau.—The reader will find below a well-considered article from the Cin- cinnati Gazette upon this theme, over which demagogues no less than philanthropists and political economists have puzzled their brains for centurics past. We transfer it tothe Srar’s columns as being replete with just public spirit : ‘All the specnlations of political economists have failed to introduce or preserve constant harmony in the relations of capital and labor. In truth, it is no easy matter, in precuct: to balance the scales of justice very exactly between the em- ployer and the employed, or at least so that the uilibrium will appear perfect to both parties. The conditions are constantly varving. and wages have to be occasionally readjusted, in the same way as prices go up or down, in accordance with the subtle, yet inevitable laws of trade. Forcible interference with these natural laws, or resistance to them, in the one case as.in the other, can result in no substantial good. All tampering of this sort, and all outside attempts, either by lezisiation or special organization, to fix the wages of labor. we hence regard as worse than futile. Combina- tions of capitalists or of laborers, to force these re- lations out of their natural course, while they show, indeed, something wrong on the one side or the other—some actual violation of the natural law— are not the best means to remedy the evil. In- deed, we believe they will invariably be found to afford, in the long ruin, no real antidote at all. “We do not doubt that there is commonly some- thing wrong on the pt of many of employers of a particular class of workmen, when the latter combine ina general strike. If the last instance of this sort in our city were fully examined into, as to its causes and circumstance, we should un- donbtedly find that it was not simply an act of wanton discontent, but that it was provoked by real evils. We may allude to one prevalent practice among employers—not by any means untversal—which operates as a hardship and an injustice to the Inborer. We refer to trade pay- ments. The cash standard should obviously be adopted, in regulating the rates of compensation for work. When thus fixed, let the payiment be made accordingly, that the laborer may use his earnings to the best advantage, and accor ng to his own discretion. By the trade arrangement, a icton at least will be constantly excited in his mind, that somehow there is a pont derived by the employer, on this trattic, which really comes ont of the stipulated wages. The convenience of this method to the employer is obvious enough ; | but its inconvenience an annoyance to the em- ployee is still more manifest. It isa just cause of complaint, the removal of which would leave one less — of discontent between such partics. | part With the socialistic problemn of a general ¢ or- | ganization of labor,’ we do not now intermeddle. | Tt is involved with the question of such an entire | remodeling of society, a8 no one now living is very likely ever tosee. Partial ‘guild’ organizations | and strikes, it is certain, are aneviland a mischief in society. Ultimately, they benefit neither the icipants nor any one else, unless as every such directly produces beneficient results. The relations between the two parties, in this case, should always be of a cordial character. Where the right spirit prevails on both sides, there is no danger of any great injustice being done. Where such a mutual confidence is not found, viole remedies will be resorted to i By creati antagonistic sentiments and_ reciprocal distr manent injury is inflicted upon the less power- 1 party. for which a temporary increase of wages il be found no adequate compensation. “Strikers should remember, too, that the power ey usurp—both contrary to law and to natural right—over others of their guild whodo not yolun- tarily join them, is of precisely the same nature as that which is so justly condemned when exercised by despots, who have, nevertheless, a show or tra- dittonal authority. Those whe would redress wrongs of their own, should be careful to respect | the lawsand theindividual rights of their fellows.”’ | ———>—_—_. | Nrearacoa.—Ran Runnells, Esq., the newly appointed United States Consul for San Juan del Sur, leaves Washington this afternoon for | his post, bearing dispatches as mentioned in | Saturday's Star, for Gen. Lamar. The seclec- tion of Mr. Runnels is an admirable one. He has lived in Central America for ten yours past, | knows the race among whom he resides thor- | oughly, and is admirably fitted to get on har- moniously with them, while a more thorough and fearless North American, in all his attri- | butes of heart and head, docs not live. He is, indeed, just the man to protect tho rights and interest of the United States, and their citizens, | 4s they may be involved in the threatening as- pect of affuirs in that quarter of the world. Of that aspect, wo have to say that we are not pre- pared to believe half the strange stories of English, French and Sardinian Nicaraguan treaties and protectorates which the newspa- pers are now airing. As for M. Belly, his prince-secretary, and the O'Gorman Mahon. | who are said to be figuring at a great rate in Nicaragua, they will doubtless prove to be (as Belly always has been) mere windy adventu- rers without the countenance of any govern- ment except the crazy one of Martinez. Our belief is, that official information when re- ecived, will disprove nine-tenths of the buga- boo stories concerning the state of affairs in Nicaragua, including that of the transfer of the boats of the American Transit Company to M. Belly. If not, it can hardly be that the Government of the United States will longer refrain from compelling Martinez to respect American rights. S << Tae Cvna Question Zarly in the year, when Spain was represented as being extremely indignant at the prospect that this Government would make a proposition for the purchase of Cuba, the opposition press supposed that in- dignation to be a proof positive of the imprac- ticability of the scheme. The latest news from Spain conveys the impression that her anger has subsided, and she has received our new minister with great cordiality; but it seems from the following from the New York Tribune that this is only another proof of the impossi- bility of buying Cuba. The Trisune says: *: The cordial reception of Mr. Preston at Mad- rid disappoints expectations here, and destroys any attempt at rescue. The subject was brought before the House of Representatives at Harris- burg, and some exciting remarks were made. what little remained of the prospects of Mr. Sli- dell’s Cuba scheme”? That this scheme is impracticable is certainly Tea The New Mexican mail of t Mexican mail of the 13th of & most remarkable deduction, capable, it seems, March has arrived at Independence. The Gazette office at Santa Fe was burnt on the 15th and was almost totally destroyed. It was the work of an incendiary. The Kiowa Indians had been driven from the station at Pawnee Fork, but were otherwise trou- Ddiesome. The people of Upper New Mexico were desirous of annexation to Jefferson Territory. A despatch from Leavenworth says that infor- mation had been received from Washington that the Government designed placing several compa- nies of cavalry along the route the protection of emigrants. of being drawn from whatever circumstances that may exist.
