Claims for French spoIialiOns.


ment of the righteous and long-deterred
claims of American citizens on their own
Government for their claims originally
against France but assumed by the Union
in the Treaty of 1900, for spoliatiOns on
our Commerce by France prior to that
year, having passed the Senate, now lies
upon the table of the House. 1t is hoping
almost against hope, yet we trust that bill
will yet be taken up and passed in the
course of the week.
We do not happen to know single
human being as likely to be benefited by
the passage of that bill-the last one we
did know as claimant on account of these
Spoliations having died pauper in lu-
natic asylum last year. The only interest
we feel in the payment of these Claims is
based on conviction that perfect Justice
is the first duty, the cheapest and surest
defense of nations. Having bullied France
into the payment of similar Claims arising
from Spoliations since those which our Gov
eminent assumed, and having fought and
partitioned Mexico on account of like claims
arising from SpoliatiOns at still later day,
we do feel that common decency requires
that our Government should treat our own
citizens as Justly as she compels other Gov
ernments to treat them-or, at all events,
something near it. The bill now before
Congress is an approximation to this-a
timid and feeble approximation. 1t only
processes to pay our despOiled citizens the
principal due them over half a century ago,
though the interest which ought to have
accrued meantime amounts to four times as
much. But it is the best that could be
carried, and we do desire to see something
done before the last of the original claim
ants is carted in pine box to pauper's
grave. And if that is to be done, it must
be done soon.
AS to the Justice of these claims, and
the obligation resting on our Government to
pay them, we defy any man to read Gov.
SEwARD's lucid and mastery Speech
thereon to the Senate and not feel that it
is beyond question. Other able and con-
vincing Speeches have been made at this
Session, as cogent Speeches and Reports
had been made before to the same purpose,
but we never happened to meet any thing
before which placed the whole subject in
so clear light, and so irresistibly demon
strated the sacredness of the National obi
CATION. And this is not our judgment mere
ly, but substantially that of the American
Press. From New Orleans, from Wiscon-
sin. as we'll as from New-York and New
England-from The Southern Press as
we'll as from journals naturally well in
clined toward the authorize signal abili-
ty and force of that Speech have been en-
phatically acknowledged. The Press did,
indeed, declare itself nevertheless hostile
toe the Claims, but we cannot remember
another journal which, after the perusal Of
that Speech, has indicated such hostility
We believe the sentiment of all but Re
pudiators is in favor of paying these
Claims. at least to the extent stipulated In
the Senates bill, and we entreat the House
not to adjourn without at least taking Il
vote on the passage Of this too long de-
feued act Of mtageI justice.

received news from Carthagena, including files OF
La DemOcracia, La Republics and Ell POrreu'T' to

very low and exports high and scarce. There
has been more shipping in the port within the
last three months than in the two previous years
Carthagena is very healthy, and has become
resort for invalids among whom are many re-
turning Calilornans. A large number OF Amerl'
cans have visited the place within the last few
months. Santa Anna and his family are now re-
siding there, and the General was issuing invita-
lions to a grand cock fight when Capt. E. left.

From DAVID L. WHITE, Esq, OF this City
who arrived on Saturday from Central America
we have obtained some interesting Intelligence
in relation to the Nicaragua route to California
Mr.. White left the city Of Granada on the 9Th oil
January. at which time the engineers had nearly
completed the survey Of the road from Rio Lagos,
on the western shore Of the Lake, to the port OF
San Juan del Sur. in the Pacific. The distance
between these two points is Attraction overt~
miles, and the highest elevation to be overcome
only forty feet. This route. from ocean to ocean
is very much shorter than that at first proposed,
BY way Of Lake Leon and Realejo. the distance
from San Juan de Nicaragua to San Juan del Sur
being about $50 miles
The arrangements for completing the cham oil
communication on both sides are nearly completed
The steamer Director is now running on Lake
Nicaragua and doing most profitable business
Her receipts during the month of January amount
ed to $50 O0O She plies between the city OF Sra
NADIA and the rapids Of Castillo Niejo, 10 the San
Juan River-a distance of $50 miles. The jour.
rev from Granada to San Juan de Nicaragua is
now made in 4s hours. In a few weeks three
more iron steamboats, will be placed on the River,
10 run between San Juan and the rapids, thus
forming complete steam communication from the
Lake to the Atlantic Twelve miles Of canal will
be sufficient to make the river navigable. When
the regular lines of steamers are established on
both sides, in connection with the smaller steam
ers on the River and Lake, it is expected that the
transit from Sea to Sea will be made in "a hours,
and the Journey from New. FORK to San Francisco
in 81 days.
After completing their survey of the road to san
Juan del Sur the company under charge OF Mr.
Chids, formerly State Engineer Of New York.
will proceed to a careful survey of the San Juan
River. At the time Mr. White left the country,
there were three American steamers at San Juan,
the Crescent City the PrOmetheus and the Merlco
The report of the election Of Don Jose Sacasa,
as Director Of Nicaragua, was premature. The
electors have been chosen but the Electoral Col
lege has not yet assembled, and choice is con-
sidered doubtful. The principal candidates were
Sacasa, a citizen of Granada, named Paneda'
and Senior Binrago, the Secretary of War. The
prospects Of the latter candidate were considered
favorable Parties of Americans are still passing
through the country on their way from California,
but the prices Of provisions, which were lately so
exorbitsnt have greatly decreased
Nicaragua, politically, was quiet, as well as
the peighboriDg state Of Costa Rica. There was
no further development Of Chatheld's curious
