According to the moat reliable accounts the Legislature will stand thus:— Senate. Assembly. 17 Demoerat ; 6 | 13. Republic 60 | 1 America 4 OR cannann se 1 ing the democrats a majority of two in the Se- nate. Sixteen Assembly districts to be heard from. ‘The election in Wisconsin has resulted in the choice of Randall, the republican candidate for Governor, by from three to five thousand majority, and a republican majority in both branches of the Legislature. The proceedings in the Supreme Court in the case | of Mrs. Carrie Woodman were suddenly brought to | a termination yesterday afternoon by reading a let- | ter from that lady requesting the court to stop the: she not being deprived of her liberty, but anxious to return to the home of her parents, in company with ber brother, C. L. Thomas. Both parties seemed | highly pleased with this denouement, but the specta- | tors were evidently taken aback by so unlooked for | an end of this “strange eventful history.” Appended to our report of yesterday's proceedings in the case we give an affidavit made by Mrs, Woodman, in which is narrated the particulars of the intimacy that has heretofore existed between that lady and Mr. Gardner Furniss. ‘A detailed account of the tragedy in Philadelphia on Weduesday, in which « man named Carter was shot dead by the husband of the ward and mistress, as is alleged, of the deceased, is given in to-day’s | paper. Itisa strange tale of passion and terrible revenge, proving that in the walks of private life | there are events occurring that cast into shade the most exaggerated fiction. General Walker has informed General Cass that | he bas not the slightest idea of violating the neu- | trality laws of the United States. He has merely | enrolled 2,500 men in the Southern States as emi- grants to Nicaragua—nothing more. | A meeting of the officers, stock and bondholders of the Erie Railroad Company was held at Jersey City last evening, when a committee was appointed to devise measures for continuing the work upon the Bergen cut tunnel and the company's Long dock. See | our report elsewhere. | Another meeting of unemployed mechanics and workingmen was held yesterday in square and the Park. A committee waited on the Mayor and conferred with him in reference to afford- ing relief to the destitute poor. The Mayor assured them that he would do all in his power to relieve their necemities. The proceedings are given in full in another column. The Board of Aldermen met last evening. Reso- lutions in favor of paying Stephen H. Bronch $2,000 for expenses incurred during the Matsell alienage investigation, and in favor of paying the salaries | through his miserable epoils policy, his party of the Central Park policemen app Wood and the late Superintendent of Streets, were adopted. A resolution authorizing the Comptroller to advertive for proposals for grading Hamilton square, was also adopted. This measure, if carried out, will afford employment for a large number of | laborers through the coming winter. The re port | from the Committee on Cleaning Streets was taken | up, and after some conversation postponed till | Monday next. The Board of Councilmen were in session last evening, and referred the memorial of the unem ted by Mayor | ployed workingmen, adopted at the meeting in the | sand against him. | Park yesterday, to the special committee on ‘the Mayor's Message. A resolution to present $500 each to the Presidents of the two branches of the Com mon Council, for discharging the duty of Health Commissioners, was referred. Mr. Waugh moved | the appointment of a special committee to inquire | into the expediency of appropriating $250,000 for | improvements in the Central park. The matter was referred to the Comunittee on Lands and Places. | He charged the committee with being partisan in their movements, and other members made whole- sale charges of delinquency, A resolution offered by Mr. Hopper, calling upon the Commissioners to | 1 | report the exact amount of money disbursed to workingmen, and also for what other purposes the appropriations have been expended, was adopted. | The Chainber of Commerce met yesterday, but the | attendance was very slim, aud nothing of public | interest transpired. Some questions were asked in reference to the liability of government for goods in | the bonded warehouse, but the members of th Chamber were in the dark as tothe law on the | subject. At the opening of the Court of Sessions yester day, Nathaniel Stimson, editor of the New York Day Book, appeared at the bar to answer an indict ment for an alleged violation of the law regulati lotteries in, puffing a Georgia lottery. He pleaded | not guilty, and his trial was set down for the 16th inst. | John McGill, a youth, was convicted of an attempt | at burglary in breaking into the store of Charles Richardson, 171 Duane street, on the 12th of Aw fost, and sent to the penitentiary for one year. He id not participate directly in the crime, but was the «py for John Tilton, previously convicted on this charge. Morris Lannigan, a hackman, was convic} ed of & tevere aseanit upon Capt. Stone, of steamboat Piytonth Rock, on the 34 inst.

Maiy Vowob g was undergoing a trial for passing & felt (iee dollar bill on the Hudson County Bank, New Jersey, when the court adjourned. We have letters from Hayti down to the 1th ult. which ccutain very interesting news. Capt. James A. Loot, of the American bark A, G. Washburn, be- longing to Bristol, R.1., had been thrown into prison for driving @ local trapper of foreign seamen from off lis vorsel when engaged in tampering with his crew. Captain Leet was very harshly dealt with, and offi- cial appeals to the Minister in his behalf met with no consideration, The Emperor refused to see the Acting Consul of the United States on the subject, which had produced great excitement. Captain Leet states his case in our columns to-day. The weather was very favorable for the collection of the coffee crop, which would be immense, averaging 90,000,000 pounds, an excess of 20,000,000 pounds over that of last year. It sold at $9 50 per 100 pounds. Log- wood was plenty at $4 per 1,000 pounds. Trade had improved somewhat at Port au Prince, but was dull at Jacmel, Aux Cayes and Cape Haytien. Yellow fever had again appeared at Port au Prince, and Captain Hutchinson, of the American bark Cordelia, with two of his crew, died of it on the 13th ult. Additional advices from Honolulu to the 5th of September state that a clipper ship, with a valuable cargo of merchandise, which left England in the end of May, consigned to the agent of the Hudson’. Company at that place, was expected. John White, a native of Plymouth, England, one of the oldest in- habitants of the islands, had died at Lahaina. He served under Admiral Duncan against the Dutch in 1796. Mr. Draper has not as yet made any communica- cation to the Board of Metropolitan Police Commis- sioners as to whether he will take the proffered seat in the Board. He has, however, sent for a cortificate of his election. The offices of the Commissiouers are all now located at the corner of Broome and Elm streets, the Deputy Superintendent and telegraph having been removed yesterday. We give in another column some interesting matters concerning the Commission. During the panic which so seriously disturbed the exchanges in the interior, several dry goods and other houses in this city, rather than submit to the enormous premiums demanded at the West for gold and for drafts on New York, ordered remit- tances to be made in wheat and other produce, much of which has recently arrived and turned out well. A shipment of spring wheat, bought in Chicago and forwarded to a dry goods house in this city as a remittance, was sold yesterday at $1 per bushel. It was shipped ut Chicago on the 4th of October, the day on whic the New York banks suspended, when gold in Chicago was at a premium of twelve per cent and sight bills on this city could not be had at any price. The sale yielded a sum which fully paid the difference of exchange, or proved equal toa sight draft at par. Had merchants gone more freely into this movement early in the scuson it would have worked well for all concerned. The transactions in cotton yesterday were confined to small lots, making ap aggregate of some 200 a 300 bales, without change in prices. The stock continued to be very issue ofthe nigger agitation, it’ is’ not to,be supposed that the political tide which has thns run out will remain at dead low water without regard to the passing changes of the moon. On the contrary, as the moon controls’ the ebb and flow of the sea, so do our political parties rise and fall from the pressure of the changing events of the times, M Briefly, the events of the last few weeks have decreed a comprehensive revolution in all the political parties, and in all the party issues of the last twenty years, The nigger question, which in all its monstrous shapes has been up- permost through all this long interval, break- ing down adminisirations and parties and fac- tions and politicians by the regiment—the nig- ger question, which 60 lately threatened to maintain the aseendency during the existence of the Union, snddenly recedes into the back ground, under the universal pressure of the money question. Henceforward, then, such practical issues as bank reforms, sub-treasury modifications, tariff amendments and bankrupt laws will take the front rank in the reorga- nization of parties and party platforms, Among the first developemente of the coming Congress we may expect to'sce the beginning of a crystalization of the political materials of the two Houses into four separate parties. First, there will be the conservative administration democracy; secondly, the Southern fire-eating disorganizers, under the leadership of Jefferson Davis, Hunter, Mason, and a few others of the same school; thirdly, the rump of the re- publican party, still vainly struggling to keep the slavery struggle first and last before Congress and the country. But the fourth party will be a new party, taking its start from the commercial and financial distresses of the times, and addressing itself to a series of Con- gressional measures in view of the establish- ment of our tinaucial and commercial affairs, and all the industrial interests of the country, upon a regular, permanent and secure system —upon a general system, which will combine the necessary safeguards, checks and balances, to prevent for the future those demoralizing paper bubble inflations, and those disastrous paper revulsions, like this of 1857 and that of 1837, and their ruinous consequences. The nucleus of the new party in Congress will at first be small; but once under way, it will rapidly gather volume and strengih. And as the evils of this revulsion lie beyond the reacb of the limited and conflicting legislation of the several States, the country will certainly expect of Congress, and demand of Congress, those measures of general relief which Con- gress can alone bestow. Thus, the administra- tion, which was ushered into power in the midst of the most violent whirlwind of the slavery agitation, wiN go out of power under a complete reconstruction of par- ties upon the financial and commercial policy of the government, suggested by the light, which tended to check sales. Flour was less buoyant for some descriptions, while there continued to be a great demand from the trade, including parchases for export. Common grades of Western wheat were easier, while prime to choice Southern continued firm. Chicago spriag sold for export at $1 a $101, closing at the inside figure; Milwaukie club sold at $1 08; white Tennessee at $1 55, and amber colored do. at about $1 35. Corn sold at 75c., with some lots from store at a trifle less. Rye sold at 78e. a 80c. Pork was dull, with small sales in lots at $19 75 a $20 for mess, closing at the inside figure. Sugars were in fair de. mand at steady prices, with sales of about 600 hhds. at prices given in another column, Coffee was steady but quiet. Freights were somewhat less active, as shippers were disposed to await the receipt of the letters due by the Canada’s mail. The rates, however, were unchanged, and closed firm for English port | Party Politics at Dead Low Water—Signs of the Times, The present condition of the political parties of the country is like the ocean shore at dead low water, after a tremendous and protracted storm. The water line has receded so far that in some places numerous islands and tongues of land are left exposed, around which frequent relics of broken ships are scattered, and dead fish, and thirsty clams, and many varieties of sea weed, and sea monsters, and curious remains of various sorts that have found a lodgment, af- ter having drifted for days, weeks and months upon the waves. Thus, the great political agi- tation culminating in the last Presidential eleo- wide spread evils of this calamitous revulsion; and thus the success or the defeat of the demo- craty in 1860, with the slavery question under the table, will depend very materially upon the financial and commercial measures of Mr. Bu- chanan’s administration in view of the impe- rious practical necessities for government relief. The heavy falling off iv the popular vote in the late State elections shows that the slavery agitation has lost its iuterest with the people, and that they are absorbed in the causes and remedies of the financial disorders that have so seriously shattered their fortunes, their re- sources of subsistence, and their hopes. They are awaiting the developements of the coming Congress, and with the first which shall assume a practical shape, we may rely upon it the peo- ple, North and South, will begin to show their hands and organize for the next Congressional elections, without regard to slavery or the slave power, and regardless of the party or sectional organizations that have lately flour- ished, but are now dying out from this financial death blow of 1857 to the slavery agitation. Anarchy in Central America—The Fate of the Isthmus States. Civil war is again the order o! the day in Ceutral America. Costa Rica having succeeded in driving Walker and the filibusters out of tion was the protracted storm, and the ebb tide succecding it has brought us to the dead low water we have indicated, and its interesting ex- porures. | In 1552 General Pierce was elected almost by | | the unanimous voice of the several States of the | Union; he came into power upon a swelling wave of popularity, which promised an un- broken reign of the democracy for twenty years to come. And yet within one short year, was split in twain in New York; and through his wretched, double-dealing and treacherous | Kansas policy, by the year 1856 the demo- | cracy throughout the Union were reduced to a | minority exceeding three hundred thousand | upon the popular vote. This opposition major- | ity was maintained in the late Presidential | election, but between the Fremont and Fillmore | | divisions Mr. Buchanan was elected, and thus | he commenced his administration with a balance | | of the popular vote of over three hundred thou- | the brief margin of nine months by the power- | ful influences of a straight-forward and honest | policy on the part of Mr. Buchanan. The left wing of the opposition forces has been very nearly annihilated, aud the right wing has suf- fered, like the Russians at Sebastopol, in almost every sortie it hae attempted. The 80,000 plu- rality for Fremont in this commonwealth, last November, has vanished like a shadow, and the reunited democracy, resting harmoniously upon the administration of their new President, are well nigh restored to their ascendancy in the Empire State. In fuct, from the results of this and the other State elections this autumn, taken all together, one would suppose that hencefor ing it have nothiug more to fear from the dimin ished, disorganized, 4: inoralized and broken | fragments of ihe late opposition camps, Let not the administration aod the democra cy, however, be deceived by any such false ideas of easy security, The honest Kansas poliey of Mr. Buchanan has had much to do with the apparent upward tendency of the democracy in our late Northern elections; but in this State, at least, local issues and local cor- ruptions exerted @ paramount influence against the Seward oligarchy at Albany. Admitting, too, that Mr. Buchanan has made a satisfactory’ reparation in this State and to the North for the blunders and follies of poor Pierce, and that the subetential settlement of the Kansas imbroglio in favor of the free State cause, and through a fair enforcement of the law of popu- lar sovereignty, settles the last practical Nicaragua, now shows that she is determined to tuke possession of that country, or at least a part of it, for herself. Col. Cauty, having been recently promoted to the rank of general, is ordered to besiege and take the fort of San Carlos, the key to Lake Nicaragua, from the icaraguan forees that now hold it. Her spe- cious plea for this conduct is, that Nicaragua is incapable of defending it from an invasion of the filibusters, We have had hitherto some respect for the little State of Costa Rica. With a population that is only equal in numbers to that of one of our fourth rate towns, she has made sacrifices and evinced a spirit in her recent strugyle that do her honor. She had, too, presented formerly a favorable contrast with many other South American republics. With a well organized government, an industrious people, no debt, no army and no military aspirations, «he pros pered aud received respect. All this is now changed. Her people have been drawn from their labors to form an army. She has involved herself in debt which she has ho prospect of paying, she has created a set of ambitious and greedy military leaders, who already talk of securing great rewards and power for life; and she has now entered upon an unjust war for territorial aggrandizement, which can only lead her to ruin. However she may endeavor to retrieve her errors, no other fute is in store for her, for she has followed the course of so many other of her sister repub- lics, and has created a governing class whose sole aim in life will be power and military achievements. To this may be added another, and a very great error, which she has committed. A tran- sit company, formed of American citizens, ac- ceding to the invitation of the government of Nicaragua, had established a route for travel between the Gulf aud the Pacific Ocean. Ame- | rican capital was largely invested in steamers, warehouses, roads and implements, under the direction of Amorican citizens. During the civil wars in Nicaragua the government has always respected this right of property, as was proper that it should do, though, using the higher power vested in it, it had made use of the means of transit afforded by the property of the company. During the late war Costa Rica took possession of these to prevent the enemy from using it for obtaining encoor. This was proper; but now that peace is restored, it is her duty to return this private property of foreign citizens to its rightful owners. Instead of this, she has retained possession of the steam- ers and implements, and endeavored to sell them. After sending several agents here for that purjcr\, she has now despatched her late Secreta:y ct Treasury, Don Napoleon Escu- lante, (othiseountry on @ like mission. This uiwice act, ax wellas her war with Nicaragua, demonstrates the «ptrit of the men who govern her councils, We entertain no very high idea of the gov- ernest or the people of Nicaragua. Her mix- ed and debased races, their want of industry and cternal domestic broils, the continual quar- rele of a few men calling themselves generals, and the utter incapacity which that republic has exhibiicd to accept the progress and civili- zation of the age, entitle her to a very low place in the scale of nations, The war thut has now broken out between these two States must debase igem still more. The fruits of whatever industry they possess will be consumed, the arts of peace driven away, and they will go on de- stroying each other until some stronger power, obeying the impulses of the age, to open paths for the commerce of the world, shall step in and give peace to the transit route and the country upon its borders. The finger of fate points unmistakeably on whom that duty shall devolve. The proximity of these countries to our shores, the increasing travel and trade between our Atlantic and Pacific empires, the civilizing missions which the leading Powers of Europe have tacitly accepted and consented to —Russia for Northern aud Central Asia, Frauce for European diplomacy and African empire, and Eagland for India and southern China—allfpoint to this country as the con- trolling Power in America, not for her own aggrandizement, but for the common good of all the world. The only question is one of manner and time for the exercise of this ,influ- Shall it,be,through the direct action of ence, the government, or by the enterprise of private citizens invited to take a part in the domestic r broils of thosefeountries! Shall it be} no The same questions are pertinent to Mexico also, andfif they are not eoon decided by the government they will be by the filibus- ters. Everywhere we see the same poli- tical incapacity and civil di-union—the same waning of civilized communities and ex- tension of the way of the savage Indian, or the strong but sensual black. it is a question pertinent to the very exist- istence ot the white race now inhabiting those countries, and however galling it may be to their self respect to confess it, they will be forced to do soferegmany years have passed by the very "progress of the barbarous races within them. If these countries desire to preserve themselves trom filibusterism there is but one course open to them. They must invite the government of the United States to take pos- sersion of the trausit routee—Tehuantepec and the San Juan river must be opened to the world under the peaceful guarantee of this country. Let Senores Robles and Molina and Yrissarri and, Evcalante think of this, and looking the,inevitable future boldly in the face, take such acourre as will weld them to our vitality before ihe Apaches from the Sierra de los Mimbras, or the negroes from Mosquitia, and their fellows, have swept their countries from existence as ¢:vilized nations. Tus” Mavouatty.—A city paper thinks that Fernando Wood may pe deteated as candidate for Mayor if all his opponents coalesve without respect to party. This isa pretty good idea.

Rioters —like other people—have heads to be broken, and bodies to be perforated with ball and steel; and as our militia would make no scruples to shoot down any quantity of Irish and Germans or other people who proposed to rob or riot, we tuke it that the peace will be preserved, and people may sleep in quiet. Riots only occur suddenly, when they have not been foreseen; a few days ventilation in the papers explodes the best laid conspiracy. Ninto’s Sanoow—TWALwERG's Cowcenr—Mossrs.

Wasuixaron, Nov. 5, 1867. ‘The State Department is in receipt of despatches from Mr. Wm. Carey Jones, but nothing of importance roiativo to Centra! America. Mr. Jones is perambulating froin place to place without accomplishing anything. The ad- ministration have despaired of any good resulting from his mission, and speak of detailing som one to bring him home. ‘The Nevy Department has received despatches from the Pacific. The frigate Independence arrived at the Navy Yard, Mare Ielaud, on the 4th ult., in fifty-nine and a half days from Panama, Not having raised the funds to pay ‘off the crew before the sailing of the steamer of the 6th ult., she was to remain there until the 20th ult, Her officers and crew were well. The John Adams was at Panama on the 17th ult., preparing to return to the United ‘States. Everything on the Isthmus was quiet. Important despatches were also received from Wash- ington Territory, -J. W. Nesmith, Indian Agent, gives an account of the murder of Col. J. N. Ebay, at his residence on Whidby’s Island. The Indians who perpetrated this outrage were from the British possessions to the north- ward of Puget Sound. Thoy ure fierce, warlike and ath- letic—superior in every respect to thie other Indians on the Pacific coast. They have large canoes, some of which will carry one hundred men, and in which they proceed to sen in perfect safety. For several years they have been in the habit of visiting the settlements on Puget Sound, sometimes for the purpose of trade, and at other times to commit depredations upon our people. The British traders supply them with arms and amraunition. Mr. Nesmith recommends that one or two small armed steamers be stationed in his agency and on the coast for tue protection of the inhabitants, ‘The Indian office received to-day despatches from Gov. Brigham Young, the first received for twelve months, and dated subsequently to Major Van Vieit’s visit to the Great Salt Take City. After giving details at great length, Goy. Young says: If 1am to have the direction of the Indians of this Ter- ritory, and am cxpected to maintain friendly relations with the Indians, there are 4 few things which I most re- spectfally suggest to be done. Virst, That travellers omit their infamous practice of shooting them down when they happen to see one. Whenever the citizena of this Territory travel the roads they are in the habit of giving the Indians food, tobacco, anda few other presents. The Indians always expect some such triffing gift, and are emboldened to come up to the rows to receive such presents; when, therefore, tra- vellers from the States make their appearance, they throw themselves im the way with the same views, and when they are shot at, and some of their number killed, as has frequently been the case, we cannot but expect them to wreak their vengeance upon the next train, Secondly, The government should provide more liberal appropriations to be expended in presents. I have proven that it is far cheaper to feed and clothe the Indians than to fight them. Ifind, moreover, that, after all, when the tighting is over, it is always [ollowed by extensive pres- cuts, Which, f properly distributed in the firet instance, might have averted the fight. In this cave, then, the ex: pense of presente is the same, and it is true in nine-tenths ‘of the cases that have happened. Third, The troops must be kept away; for it is a preva- Jent fact that Wherever there are the most of these we muy expect to find the greatest amount of hostile Indians anc the least security to persons and property. If these three items coulu be complied with, I have no hesitation in saying that, so for as Utah is concerned, travellers could go to and fro, pass and repass, and no Indian would disturb or molest them or their property. In regard to my dratts, it appears that the Department ts indtsposed to pay them, for what reason I am at a loss tweonjecture. Jam aware that Congress separated the office of Superintendent of Indian Affuirs from that of (Covernor—that the salary remained the same for his Gu- bernavorial dutics, and that the Superintendent's was one thonsaad five hundred dollars. 1 do think, inasmuch as 1 performed the duties of both offices, that 1’ am entitled to the pay appropriated for it, and trust that you will s@ con- sider it.

THE GENERAL NEWSPAPER DESPATCH. LETTER FROM GEN. WALKER TO GEN. CASS—2,500 EMIGRANTS ENROLLED FORK NICARAGUA, Wastmyeron, Noy. 5, 1857. General Walker, in a letter addressed to the Secretary of Stato, says, that “so far as any violation on bis part of acts of Congress is concerned, he denies the charge with scorn and indignation, and will not so far forget his duty as an officer of Nicaragua as to violate the laws of the United States while enjoying hospitality within its limita. As the military organization is abandoned, about 2,500 men from various Southern States have enrolled as emi grants to Nicaragua.’ . Arrivel of the Caneda at Boston, The steamship Conads, Capt.

WEBSTER AND ALLEN IN THE NORTHERN COMMODORE VANDERBILT AGAIN IN THE FIELD. Having obtained an inkling that some grand move waa on the board relative to the Nicaragua Transit route be- tween Commodore Vanderbilt and Mr. W. R. C. Webster, on one side, and the Nicaraguan or Costa Rican govern. ment od the other, and that agents were to be sent out secretly from the residence of Mr. Allen, on Staten Island, opposite to which the steamship Northern Light, under the charge of the Commodore himself, was to liv to for them until they were taken on board, we despatched ‘one of our special reporters to learn the facts and ac- quaint the readers of the Hxatp with as correct an ac- count of the same as possible. The reporter took the Staten Island boat about 12 o'clock, noon, and arrived at Staten Island, where ho | waited on the lookout at the place where the steamer—if | the report was true—would lie to and take the parties oa | board. After waiting some time he discovered the | steamer coming down the bay under full head of steam, and bearing off to the right towards where he was. She soon arrived, and, sure enough, hove to. He soon saw persons approaching in carriages, whom, from thoir | baggage and appearance, he kuew to be on their way w the oteamer. Ou approaching nearer to the parties he revoguized Mr. W. B.C. Webster, Wm. H. Jelliffe, Faq., of Jersey City, (bis counsel), Mr. E. C. Allen, son-in-law of Commodore Vanderbilt, and others who accompanied them. After some allecuouate adieus between Mr. and Mrs. Allen aud Webster had given some little further instructions to his counsel, and bidding each other a warm good bye, Mr. Webster, Mr, Allen und the others embarKed ina boat, and were soon on the deck of the steamer. She immedi. ately put off amid the cheering and swinging of hats and handkerchiefs, bound for Costa Rica—was soon down the bay and outto sea, Upon further inquiry we learn that the steamer goes some three hundred miles out of hor regular course to land Mr, Webster, My. Allon and the others at Greytown, and that they take with them tho pecenvary heip and means to proceed directly to Costa Rica, and aiso to block the game of other interested parties who ure trying to get the transit grant, Webster aud his counsel contend that if Messrs. Garri- son & Morgan, through Harris, had acted the true part, that the grant which Webster obtained about three months age from Costa Rica in the narae of * Webster & Harris could have been placed in successful operation, and Garri- son & Morgan could now have reaped some of the bene- fits arising from this (soon lW be) great highway between the Atlantic and Pacilie States. “Messrs. Garrison & Mor- gan having neglected to 1 out the $250,000—« part of the proposed terms of the t—or even to aid Mr. Web- ster inany of his annoy he determined tombake them off altogether, and open negotiations with those parties who have not only the means to put a great cuterprise Like this through at once, but who hive the will to do so, when once it is undertaken. Mr. Webster and Mr. Allen go out so fully equipped, net only with authority bat with ready means, that the route will probably be secured to the Cominedore, and his ships will soun be plying in connec- ten with the gr nl Muportant thoroughfare. The fact of Commodore Vanderbilt's negotiating with Mr. Webster on se and respo invested him with ample ity to carry the negotia- ons throngh at all hazards, pues veto Xe ace on the thousand-and-one silly tales uttered by other interested parties Our goverpment have most undoubtedly come to the dectvion that it will have nothing to do with the private Tights of Costa Rica and Nicaragua as connected with the future transit, and will abstain from exprossing any opin- jon touching the right of any partics or protended clam- ate, leaving all parties to fight their own battles. This being 0,8 it was at once evident that those only who could secure the control of President Mora in relation to the grant, he having @ great influence and control over Nicaragua, need ho, obtain this important prize. ‘This was evident to Commodore Vanderbilt, and ax Webster had already ob- tained from Mora two grants, one for himself and one im company with Harris, the Commodore has undoubtedly supposed that he was the very man to get a third grant, and se has sent him out with all the necessary papers and bis own son-in-law, just as Commodore Morgan sent him out before with his son-in-law Harris. In tue mean- time, Messrs, Morgan, Garrison, Harris, Spencer, Kirk- patrick, Perkins & Co. will have to wait here with patience tuntil the return of the negotiators. ANOTHER STATEMENT FROM MR. YOUNG ANDERSON. ‘San Jose, Costa Rica, Oct. 10, 1857. Eprrons oF THe Paxama Stan any Henatp: Having casually seen your paper of the 23d ult., in which you republish from the New York Hanauo of the 6th, « letter from Mr. Kirkpatrick, reflecting injuriously on me; and as you think I ought to answer it, I beg leave to offer the following comments :— Be pleased to refer to my “Exposition,”’ published in Your paper, and subsequently, on the 4th of September, im the New York Henaup, and you will ad 1 distinctly state that shortly after my arrival in New York I was in. formed of Mr. Webster's charaeter; consequently Kirk. patrick’s statement that I pretended not to be aware of it At that time, is perfectly gratuitous. The “hints” which Kirkpatrick says he gave me were rather broad. Thay not only related to what he had heard whilst Wob- ster was in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, bus embraced previons transactions of a highly div ful and criminal description. 1 knew nothing ogalnet Webster until I arrived in New York, when | was put au by Kirkpatrick— who proiessed to feel @ most disinterested volicitude that I should not suffer from the machinations of that | | | and unprineipled man. Above all things be cautiong ng, against putting my hand to paper for him. Or course f wns meh obiged to Mr. Kirkpatrick reasons Which induced me to remain i after obtaining a knowledge of Webster's } nse tgr } fully set forth in my “ Exporition.” I was actuated by @ hope of being able to transter the grant of the Transit from Webster into purer hands, and to secure # loan tor Cows Rica, which she still urgently requtires, beyides «hich ,] waa further induced te remain by advice ia a letter from an in- thought cannot reeuver.
