iFrem the Panama Star, Nov. Al
We learn from private source, that letters have
been received by the authorities Of this province
giving the particulars of an outbreak 10 the Pro
vince Of Veragua. AS far as we have been able to
gather information, it appears that an effort had
been made to supplant Gov. Lucas Augpla in his
authority The movement going on in the
North, headed by former Governor. or Governor
pro fem OF this province, and who had aroused the
people, and armed and equipped them. Governor
Apgula has raised about loo men, fro n Tabias,
Parita and Nata, and On the 9th ult went out to
meet the insurgents. Some firing, and shooting,
and noise, were heard ia the direction taken by
Governor Angula, but no :hiug definite was learned.
The outbreak commenced on the 22d ult large
reward was offered for the leader of the oluton-
ary movement, whether taken dead or alive.

A decision Of great Importance to every Ameri-
can, and possibly to every foreign resident upon
the lsthnus, has lately been made by the highest
court of judicaturs in the Province of Panama.
i no case went up from an appellant court, where
the decision was in favor of the plaintiff who ap-
peared by his special attorney or agent The ap-
peal was taken, not on the merits Of the case, but
on point of law. The point of law reserved for
the decisien of the supreme court was, whether an
american citizen possessed the power to prosecute
the defendant through his agent; that agent being
atoreign resident and not native of the Province
The merits Of the case not denied. Judge
Arosemena gave It as his opinion tia, meri ,an
citizen, and consequently other foreigners, cannot
appoint fellO w-cOuntry as an agent to prose-
cNte suits or transact business legally, nier the
laws Of this province, and remanded the to the
lower court TO be tried de moro, thus leaving it op
tional with the agent Of the plaintiff to dismiss the
suit and pay the costs, suffer gun snt for costs
70 be entered up against him, besides subjscting
him to loss OF his rightful claim, the Justice of
which was no; denied. The decision of j Judge Aro-
semena is based upon law of the court, denying
the right to native citizens to appoint foreigners
their factors or agents. and he contends that If TO-
reign residents here permitted TO appoint their
fellow eountynen their attorneys in fact, agents
or factors, IL would be conceding to them right
not enjoyed BY native citizens themselves, and
sequently they would possess privilege above the
citizens Of the country
At hrst glance, the opinion of the Judge would
appear specious, but we trust he will examine tho
grounds OF his Argument, and come to opposite
opinion. And We trust he will permit u.s. as an
d,attus Cnrf9, TO point out the provisions of the
thirteenth article of the treaty between the repub-
lie OF New Granada and the United States, which
says =
Both contracting parties promise and engage formally
to give their special prot ecton TO the persons and
perty of the citizens of each other ali occupation
who may be in the territories subject the jurisdiction
OF one or the other. transient dwelling therein leav
ipg open and free ts them the tribunals OF justice for
their Judicial recourse the same terms which
u,ua and customary with the natives citizens the
country.
If this article of the treaty had stopped here tho
decision of Judge Arosemena would have been in
accordance with the law and the treaty; but it
goes to point out the manner how the citizons Of
each country may have judicial recourse. The
treaty specially provides that American appear
before the tribunals either in person. OF By "citl
zeEs or aSents"-the words "agonts clearly indi.
catipg that other than "citizens were Intended -

The treaty here gives them the right to select tho

tors, and notaries, who be no other than citi-
zens OF the country,-or they can appoint agents

Of the treaty, and is intended, in our Judgment, to

We sincerely hope Judge Arosemena will review
bis decision, and come to of opposite charac-
ter, as more IN accordance with justice, IL not
strictly legal in his opinion. The Judge must see
With bis clear mind, the hardship and Injustice his
decision is calculated TO work, not cnly upon

tion
With such n decision, foreigners will be very

a correct one, the sooner the law is repealed the
better It will be for both native and foreigner,
