ing him whether certain alleged statements of
Mr. Toombs concerning himself Davis were
true, was the gentleman selected by his polit-
ical friends to meet Mr.. I. on the stump. His
version of the personal remarks of Mr. Toombs
was certified as correct by the clerks of three
county courts, who were present during their
delivery. Gen. Davis, therefore, only wrote
the reply to Gaskill, which produced the re-
joinder of Mr.. Toombs, on such testimony as we
describe above showing that T. had used the
language imputed to him. twill be recollected
that the latter, in his rejoinder, denies the
truth of Gaskiil's version of his remarks, and
makes it's alleged falsity the ground of his
disparaging remarks concerning General D.
HONDURAS ASSExArloS.--We have satisfied
ourself that the newspaper story saying that
the Honduranes have applied to this govern
ment to annex their country to the United
States, is incorrect. No such application has
been made. However, years ago, Central
america did make such proposition. 1t
would he godsend to any such people Or
government to become thus identified with
us, doubtless; if but for the guarantee of
peace with their neighbors and freedom from
internal commotion which would surely be
incident to their political condition thus al
tered.
New YORK Custom HoUsE.-We have every
reason to believe that the new collector of
the Port of New York, will soon commence to
make very clean work, indeed, of the three
hundred Wings yet holding Office under him.
| They were spared by Judge Bronson who was
| far less hostile to them-nearly all of them
being Silver Greys-than to the Softs. 1t is
said in New York papers that many of the
| Hards in that establishment, will also be made
as it is more than likely that Hardsm van
ished from the New York Custom House when
| Bronson was removed.
ANDREWS REPORT ON THE COLONIAL AND
| LAKE TRADE.-There has been serious ques-
| ton of late as to the right of the Government
| to pay for the balance due for the compila-
ton, &C., of this elaborate and really useful
| document, owing to the conceived failare of
to appropriate for its cost, after having long
before ordered the work to be done Original
| y, both the Secretary Of the Treasury and the
Attorney General, are said to have been under
the impression that Congress had placed no
money in the Department. for this purpose. We
learn, however, that the LIST Comptroller of
| the Treasury has of late made thorough in
vestigation into the subject, and has reported
that ample authority for the payment exists
So We presume that Mr. A. will shortly receive
from the Government the balance of the
| 1000 due upon the work in question.
