1t seems to be understood among the Demo
Gratis politicians, hat the reply of Mr.. Blu.
chanan to Lord Classndon upon the Central
American question, Which Mr. Si:kles is cred :.
tied with having brought to Washington, has
been the subject Of consideration in two or
three Cabinet meetings, wherein it has been
received with great favor. We feel assured
that no one in Washington, outside of the
Cabinet, has as yet perused it; nevertheless al,
impression is universal here that, az q State

the punishment inflicted upon the free hooters
and land-pirates of Greytown have invested
the Central American question, between the
United States and Britain, with intense present
interest.

He and John Mitchell, of the Citizen, have

without inquiring whether the fiery liquid

is downright falsehood, "humanly speak

its head was immersed, its legs hanging over
