For The National Wing.


Mr.. EDIToR We observe by public notice
that the agents Of the State Of Maryland, and
the other agents and stockholders OF the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal have made complete
change OF the directors Of that company. The
State of Maryland, and the District of Column
bia, as well as all the friends OF that work may
feel glad OF the change, for had board Of
business men been put in charge Of the work,
when Maryland took il in charge, as State
work, il might have been completed many
years ago, for less money than has been paid
for it, and been in full navigable condition al
this time, with an income OF over million Of
dollars year If any person shall doubt that
fact, we refer them TO the report made to the
Board on that subject, and sworn to on the
22d Of January, 1886. We hesitate not TO say
that if the person who made that report, and
swore 10 it, had been removed at that lime, the
State Of Maryland might now have been receiv-
ing from to 100000 year from the canal,
enough 10 have paid the interest on her State
debt. And all the other stockholders to 10
per cent. on their stock, and coal would have
been selling in the District cities al So rs cents

Peace Rssmorss--On the 2Gth ut rumors which
the Republican, calls ivory alarming" were in circu-
laton in the capital It was said that the Mexican
Government had acceded to the mediation Of Eng
land; that the English Secretary Of Legation had
been down to Puebla and returned on the 24th that
the object Of his visit was to negotiate with General
Scott treaty Of peace; that the terms agreed upon
between them would be the surrender Of the Calol-
mans to the Americans the recognition Of the indie
pendencer of Texas, and the acknowledgment of the
line Of SO degrees the northern boundary between
the United States and Mexico. This line would

THE RUMORED TREATY:

We sincerely hope for the country's sake
for Mr.. Folks sake-that the rumored treaty
Of which an outline from the Republicono
newspaper is given in another column, has no
truth ia ii. We should feel humbled 10 the
dust, to know that so much precious blood has
been spilled, so much treasure has been ex-
pended. 50 feariully and SO fagrantly has the
constitution been violated, TO obtain strip OF
territory which could have been purchased for
few trifiing millions at any time. Better far,
If there be any truth in this rumored treaty,
that we had taken not foot Of Mexican land.
In that event we should have retained our self
appreciation and made good what the Presi-
dent has so often proclaimed that the war was
not waged with view TO territorial conquest.
With the line which Trist's asserted treaty
gives US, we gain nothing, and lose all lose
our national character for truth. But we are
prepared for any thing from Mr.. Folks admin
issration, however disgraceful to the country.
From the beginning there never has been about
any Of its actions the least show Of elevation Of
thought, Of nobleness Of purpose, Of patriotic
feeling. All, all, has been little. And its little
ness has been and is SO little, that il begets con-
tempt and ridicule. Hence, while we hope
for better things, we shall not be surprised if
the Mexican war shall be brought to The igno
bic close, which rumor assigns il in the last adj
vices from Puebla.
