Col Hofinan had an interview’ with several chief, treat. i ey aceptengen ry ‘and telling them that he should at a future day say what the United States required at their hands.

Mary Ann Billman is now on trial in the Twelfth District Court for the murder of her husband, Albimus Billman. A negro named Tate was gent to State prison for life, hav- ing been found guilty of murder in the second degree for the came homicide. Mrs. Billman is a woman of the worat stamp—one of the most degraded of her sex. She was married to deceased only two months when he was mur- dered.

The wandidates for the offices about becoming vacant are re- solved to urge their claims energetically, and rally their friends with unflagging resolution. The principal fight will be for the gubernatorial nomination. The democratic ranks furnish four aspirante—Weller (the present incum- bent), Denver, Nugent and Latham. For Congress there Bre numerous candidates, but it is probable new mon will be selected by the administration wing of the party.

Necessity of Lights on the Eastern Coast of Honduras and Moiquito—A Suggestion for the New York Board of Un- derwriters, de. Of all the ocean tracks there is probably none more dan- gerous than that off the eastern coasts of Honduras and Moequito. For several hundred miles sunken coral reefa extend, rendered the more dangerdus by variable, strong currents, Thege reefs lie in the direct course hetween Cape St. Antonio and Aspinwall or San Juan, and all gail- ing vessels and steamships pass among them in golag or returning. Within the pasttwo years not less than ahalf cozen vessels have been lost on gome one of these banks— the Sueno, Serrana, Rencador and others. A lightbouse on “ Split Rock,” Old Providence, would have saved many, if not all of the lost veeeels; but there is not a light between Cape St. Antonio and Aspinwall.

General Lamar’s Last ‘Treaty Not Approved at Washing- ton—Iis Identity with the Gore Ouseley Trealy—Character f General Lamar—Somehing About Mr. Manning— President Mora’s Views and Policy—Parties in Nica- rayua—Walker Loock«t For—No Chance For Mont. Belly, de. I wrote you in my last that General Lamar had made a successful treaty with this government, but since then, from my convereation with Ran Runnels, Keq , late ap- pointed Consul at San Juan del Sar, who arrived ‘at this place en the 21st inst , with deapatchos to the Gene- ral,I have gleaned tbat our government is not satie- fied with the treaty, and ae Genoral, who intended to take passage with us to San Juan, returned again to Mana- gua on the %5th inst, for the purpose of negotiating addi- tional articles thereto. Tho English, it is said, have made atreaty with Nicaragua which from report is word for word, verbatim et lieratim, with that negotiated by Gen. Lamar. Gen, Lamar is not, as some Correspondents represent, 20 constantly addicted to drinking that he is renderea un- fit for work of apy eort. Thathe is getting old and un- suited to the business in which he is now employed js, DO doubt, very true; buthe is fn gentleman of the old schoo), of whom there are 80 few at the preeent day that I do not wonder he does pot meet with the entire approbation of raw-headed Young America. But the people ure not deal- ipg with General Lamar socially. When politically he nas not apswered the purposes of our government, and ehould have been recailed yin and long ago, am some more proper person gent to fili bis place, The only way to deal with ihese people is right straight upand down. The backing and Ailing to-get a man’s- yote fashion of our country will not answer vur purpose here. If a man is easy to be soft soaped the Spanish are the people to do it; their language is replete with compii. mentary and flattering remarks, and they aro ever careful to say nothing wherewith you can hold on, Dissecting their letters is like climbing up a greared pole. 1 seo from late files of your paper which reached mo at this place, that Mr. Mavpng has been figuring very con. spicuously as the Engiish Consul here. It is a great rais. take. Mr. Manning is not, nor bas be ever been, Consui at this place. During the time of Walker's supremacy here he (Manning) bad charge. of the archivee of the Con- rulate, but he never acted in the capacity of Consul. Mr Gerald Perry is H. B. M.

Ms 1 The French Admiral arrived at San Juao del Sar a week ago; he took with him President Mora, of Costa Rica, and his suite, to witness the ia-augura. tion of Mons. Belly’s affair. I was arranged that President Mora, Mons. Beliy, aud the President of Niearagua were with their own hand to lay the corner ‘stone for the cepal.. President Mora is on the most friend. ly and intimate terms with the French aud English go- Yernments, and not so with the Americans. There are two parties now in Nicaragua—the liberals and conservatives, They are about equally balanced, 1 doubt not, however, that after ashort time the former willcome into power. The people here are kept in utter ignorance of the movements of the government: that is, ‘the President and Congress; and there bas never been a treaty made by this government that its people have any knowledge of its nature at all—they are entirely of no consideration whatever in regard to the will of the ‘pow. ers that be.” ‘The people here are looktng every day for the advent of Censral Walker; many cf them will welccme him if he does come. 1 very much suspect that we shall have some fun here after a while—between the French, Engliah and filibusters something must ‘turn up.” There is, 8 present signs indicate, no chance of M. Belly’s contract being ratified, and thoes who were to take such promisent parts in laying the corner stoue for the canal moet return to their respective domici!r, and brood over their disappointment.

The electora Jaw for the States, of which I wrote in my last, has been signed by President Ospina and promulgated. It divides each State into circles, and the circles into districts, The Senate, the Chamber ot Representatives of the nation and the President bave the power to each select from each of the eight States nine persons, who aro to constitute an electoral council for the regulation of the elections, This council appoints seven persons in each circle, who are called an clectoral junta, and this junta appoints five per tons for each district, who are to be the judges on olec- tion day, For Panama the Chambers have already select. ed their six, of course all of them being from the adminis. tration or conservative party; and these six are the most voscrupulous, thick-headed and servile ef that party, They are already in the field as candidates for senatora and representatives, and having the whole managemont of the ballot box their success cannot be doubtful, although the liberal party are largely in the majority in the State. It appears to bo understood that the members of this Electoral Council throughout the confederation are to be retarned to the Chambers, and the Chambers io torn seratinize the votes for President, and thus, of course, elect him. 80 you will see the whole thing is ia tended to perpetuate the party now in power, and to vir- tually make the federal system, which hag been in forco one year, give place to centralism.

His murderers, though known, are still unarreated, as the government is afraid to show severity to the already vacillating and insubordinate army.
