The SLoo TREATY.-The treaty Of Col. Sloo
securing him the transit Of the Tehuantepec
route, has arrived at Washington, and Col
Sloo himself is also there The treaty has
been ratified by the provisional government Of
Mexico; but the most difficult part of the bust
ness remains to be done. If we are not misin-
formed, the administration are OF the option
that the Garay treaty should have the prece-
dence of all other claims to the Tehuantepec
route in the settlement Of this question with
Mexico. And we presume that this controver-
sy cannot be definitely settled short OF the re-
assembling Of Congress and the action Of the
Senate upon the subject. For the present. we
should like to be informed whether Mr.. Benja
min and company, the holders of the Garay
contract, have surrendered or compromised
their claims. If they have not, this Sloo trea-
try will demand some further explanation.
