TEHuANTEPEc-THE SLoo PRooEEDlNcs.-It
seems Mr.. Sloo is in a complication of difficult
ties none of them very favorable to the success
of his enterprise. Not long since he published
circular to the public, setting forth the pros
porous condition of his affairs, and adding to
the document draft Of the charter of the COM
pany under the Mexican grant. He also allu-
ded to the treaty made upon the basis of the
grant, negotiated by Judge Conklin. which is
now in Washington, and which he assured the
public he had the highest authority for stating
was favorably received by the President, and
would be submitted to the Senate as soon as
that body met Scarcely, however. had he pub
lished his circular, when the following notice
from his associates in the undertaking appeared
in the New Orleans papers -
NOTICE. regret to inform the public that the
charter Of the Tehuantepec Company, to which Mr..
Soo affixed my signature without previously submit.

several provisions opposed to the grant OF the Next
government, and that | therefore deem it my
duty 10 withhold my concurrence with the provisions
contained in said instrument. r. OLARTE,
For himself, and attorney Of NJ. Payne and j.
j. Pesado.
This proves what has been already on seve-
raj occasions stated by us. that the I" grant"
to Mr.. Sloo was on its face not the liberal do
cument its friends represent but, on the
contrary, paper framed with view of de-
priving the people the United States of those
advantages which they possess under the Garay
grant and Of complicating the question be-
tween the two governments.
The statement made by Mr.. Sloo, that the
President viewed the treaty negotiated by
Judge Conkln with .avor, somewhat surprised
us, as it contains, we have reliable information
for stating, precisely the same principle as the
Clay ton-Bulwer treaty upon the Central Amer
lean question, and which was last session re-
pudiated by every democratic member Of the
United States Senate, as inconsistent with
American policy and striking at the
very foundation Of the Monroe doctrine

Mr.. Champlin's mealy-mouthed resolutions,

Is Mr.. BUCHANAN GOING TO ENGLAyD.-The
Philadelphia Ledger of yesterday gives the fol-
lowing paragraph, confirming the report that
Mr.. 3. is going to st. James,
Mr.. Buchanan goes to England, notwithstanding
the rumors of his declinaton of the mission. Pres.
dent Pierce, it is said after an interview with him
in Philadelphia, obtained Mr.. BIS acceptance of the
important trust An amusing incident occurred at
the starting Of the train from Camden, on Wednes-
day, with General Pierce and his cabinet officers.
Mr.. Buchanan was present. taking leave of the
President, when the admonitory whistle of the loco
motive announced that all was ready for start ng.
Still Mr.. B. fingered, having few more " last
words to communicate to the President, and cor
daily shaking his hand, bidding him, repeatedly,
good by" The reluctance to leave, combined
with the reported doubt of his acceptance Of the
mission chimed well, that of the cabinet
officers, in his hurry, loosely cried out, Well, Mr.
Buchanan, if you intend to go, why don't You 60"
The effect was irresistible, the accepting minister

dent pronouncing it wholly unauthorized.
As if to complete the chapter of misfortunes,
Mr.. Falconette, (the agent of the British bond
holders in Mexico who loaned Mr. Sloo money
in order to pay the Mexican government certain
instalments due on the" grant," has commenced
an action for its recovery on the ground that
the time when Mr.. Sloo promised to return it
is past, and yet no money is forthcoming.
We wish Mr.. Sloo a speedy release from his
difficulties, but see little prospect Of his road
being built under present circumstances.

Politics in Maine and the Maine Law

The Maine Law is sorce Of trouble and
contcnion in the Demonratic party OF Maine,
The cquivocal position of Mr. PHisbury, the
Democratic nominee for Governor is rapidly
alenatng from him the support of the friends
of the law, and a call has been issued for a
mass meeting of "the Democrats of the State
opposed to the proceedings of the recent Ban
g1r Convention, to meet mt the City Hall, in
Portland, on Thursday, the 4th of August
next, at o O'Clock in the forenoon, TO nomi-

and to transact all other business which the

2. If not should the law be modified in an!

Mails for Long Island.

The Long Island Rail Road--may it live
forever! Its managers-may they never
grow old Not that the former has yet done
the first thing TO accommodate the public
Intentionally, or that the latter have for a
moment failed to look out first for their own
interest, and sometime after that, for the peo-
ple's, providing it was perfectly convenient
We entreat for them long life, however, lest
when they die, there will be left no perfect
illustration of the EXTREMIST order OF mean
ness.
Here is fact for nineteenth century peo-
pie to masticate. Long Islanders are hav-
ing n solemn time over it now. Heretofore
between $4,000 and $4,000 was deemed
sufficiently carrying the mails on their slow
coaches through the Island. But the Crys-
tai Palace is open; meat has risen in the
market; and the able directors think it worth
50, 900 TO carry ii f1i the coming year. Un.
Gle Sam offers $1,000 for the job but that
won't do So, Yesterday, horse team was
started for the East Eud, with the mails on
board. That is the way the story is tclL us.
For the credit Of all hands, we hope it will
be denied, and with authority.
Well, now what is the extraordinary service
the Road offers to do for the $4,000, without
which it won't carry lcathen bag a rod,
on any consideration? Why, furnish 10
by corner Of its baggage-car for an agent to
stand in,and keep his desk with the lostmans
stamp and carmine dye, and accommodate a
dozen or two mail bags. 1t never stops a
minute past its proper time for stoPpages TO
deliver or receive its malIs,-it never hurt
itself, or intruded a moment on the time ta-
ble on that account
But perhaps we do it injustice. Il is a
great responsibility to carry a mail Many is
the rainy day, whsn passengers are scarce,
and it would be convenient to stop the train
at Matttuck or Cutchogue for the night, but
on account ofthe mail they must run through
to Greenport Here would be u saving. In
Winter,it is customary TO run into snow-bank
and lay there till all the old ladies in the
reighborhood have sold out ther pies and
milk at handsome profits, and to prevent
starvation, they must move on. 1t is bore
on such occasions, to be pestered wiIh the
mails The mail.agent frets, and postmas,
ters along the road are all in fume. Stop OH
the lca,hern bags, and the cars might lie in
the snow.bank tIl The snow thawed out, and
it is doubtful if the management would feel
very badly abou: it, or wake up TO inquire
where the train was delayed.
Good gentlemen, who hold in your hands
the keys to the intelligence of the people, and
can permit or forbid the Dail!es to the Islam
ders, as you will, pray, won't you reconsider
your action in this post-route, and lfyou cam

won't you at least ceas" to grind the public
