On Wednesday last Mr.. Clingman proceeded to
discuss, at length the merits Of his mediation reso
lutions, and to show why they should be adopted.
He argued that this nation was losing some fifty
millions per annum on exports, In consequence Of
the European war; and, therefore, we had a right
to offer mediation, without being charged with
being meddlesome. Again, he contended that the
belligerents had expended in naval ornaments aud
other equipments for war at least $500 000 and
this enormous amount OF capital, he said, was as
much "lost to the world as II 1t had been in the
Arctic, and sunk to the bottom of the ocean," This
was singular declaration on the part q the honor
expressed by the Secretary Of the treasury. when
he suggests that an appropriation for the con-
structlon OF additional ships for our navy,
d sSs 'ns
into circulation the amounts thus appro priat-
ed. He certainly never dreamed that money
spent In the increase OF our navy would be mu,h
capital lost to the world. This discovery was left
for Mr.. Clingman to make. ] had supposed thatthe
money spent by the bellgerents in this war was 20
much dead capital drawn from national vaults, vlv-
fed and again given to the world as an active cir
Mr.. Cingman has been treated very scurvily by
the administration, in not being informed of the
fact thst the mediation Of this government had
already been teneered TO the European powers, and
had been spurned, as telegraph you last evening.
Mr.. G. was permitted to go on and prepare speech
upon the subject and actually to deliver it, in the
House, before he heard 1t hnted that his object
had been anticipated. In self defense he must now
change his resolution to calling on the Presi-
dent for ini0i nation. This will open up an other
batch Of the interesting correspondence which now
crowds the shelves Of the State Department.
Of the administration, / understand from reliable
source that the President acknowledges the Ostend
Congress to be his legitimate offspring but Mr..
Marcy still declares that the part acted by Soule
was wholly without the sanction knowledge of the
State Department, and that Mr. s. was an inerloper
at Ostend. IL also appears that the resolutions of
inquiry were referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations tor the sole purpose Of suppressng them;
for, as Mr.. Marcy says, the President would have
been compelled to decline furnishing the corres-
pondence which would have created distrust abroad
and perplexities at home. Thus We are at the end
of the row, for the present, on the Os,end Con.
that this Congress was not " all mo0nshine" as
represented by the Union, but that 1t was something
real, serious and extraOrdinary-butw what that seme
thing was the President will not communicate.
telegraphed you last evening that the Commit
tee Of Ways and Means would bring in bill on
Tuesday next, reducing the present tariff. This bill
was determined on yesterday, by the democratic
party Of Congress, in caucns assembled and IL de-
signed to meet the views Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury.
The Bounty Land BILL nov under discussion in
the Senate continues to excite the interest Of the
"child or children having been stricken from the
bill, 1t is calculated that az least 300, 100000
OF acres Of public land will be given away
under It's operation. This is precisely the object OF
the friends Of the bill. 1t Is TO dispose Of t1is
furd OF fraud and corruption by distributing IL as
bounty, in order to AVOID the exc e,udve veto BY
this distribution, too the old States will come in
for large share of the spots, which would aot be
the case under the operation Of the Homestead or
Lsnd Graduation bill.
In the Supreme Court yesterday, Justice Wayne
delivered the opinion OF the Court in the case Of
J. w. Raymond vs. VIVA. Tyson, on appeal from the
Nortbern District of Notwithstanding the de-
cree OF the Circuit Court, With costs, and remand.
ing the cause with directions to dismiss the Dnel.
The learned Judge stated the law of the case at
considerable length, and cited many ancient and
modern authorities, showing that in the case of
charter party, the owners of q ship have lien
upon the cargo for the amount Of freight due, un-
less by the terms OF the charter party, expressed
fairly implied, the owners haze surrendered such
lien, taking in lieu thereof other and different sc.
curfty In that event no snch lien exists, and,
therefore, every such case must depend upon its
own peculiar circumstances. IL was considered in
this case decided that this lien had been surren-
dered by the owners and the Court decreed ac-
cordingly. E.
