ington Star Of Feb. 5th says:
I'VE arc inclined to believe, from the
signs in the official horizon, that an execu-
tive proclamation will soon be issued, warn
ing all citizens of the United States against
the infraction Of our neutrality laws by
participating in armed expeditions to settle
in Central America. The advertisement
Of Mr. Buslrod W. Forbel for volunteers
for the Kinaey expedition, seems to be ta-
ken to be the basis for the expected official
paper. The proclamation in question in
forms the required colonists that they are
expected to hold themselves in readiness
to serve for the protection of the govern
ment about to be established" &c. As,
according to the reading Of the United
States government, there is no portion Of
Central America without legitimate gov
ernment, de jEre at least, the idea Of an ex-
petition from this country to establish q
government there is supposed to be judged
by the authorities here to be an infraction
Of the United States neutrality laws"

VANDERBHT's PRoPosED LINE OF EURO
PEAN SrEANERs--Corneliu Vanderbilt has
addressed letter to the Postmaster Gen
eral, covering proposition to run semi
monthly line of steamers between New
York and Liverpool, in alienation with
the Collins line, provided that government
will pay him for his mail service the sum Of
$4,000 the round voyage This is $4,000
less than half the sum paid to the Collins
line for each voyage, and in the course of
the year would be $43O, 900 less than the
sum paid to the Collins vessels for like
service. Mr.. Vanderbilt says that he only
asks this subsidy so long as like subsidy
is granted to Messrs Collins and Cunard,
and the moment their subsidies are with
drawn he is ready to plant himself upon
the great principle of free competition,
neither asking or taking any aid whatever
from the government If his proposition
is accepted, he says he is satisfied us to his
ability to carry out his enterprise with ad-
vantage to the country and without loss TO
himself.

CAEME.--A gentleman has sent US commnni-
cation on the subject Of dogs, and the " suiferins
which is intolerable," Of certain parties IN the
neighborhood Of Seventh and streets We note
the fact for the benefit OF all parties concerned,
though somewhat reluctantly, for dogs" 10 q ten
der subject with many, from which fatality we are
not altogether exempt.
We have dog--a dog as is dog. "We have
treasured him long, h woolly prize" and lived for
months in the awful apprehension that his fair pro.
portions would excite the cupidity of some one of
the juvenile organization of dog steaers But what
makes the case more aggravating is that the laws
do not recognise him as property to the extent of
aifordng reliefin the event Of his being stolen,
and at the same time does recognise him to the
extent of demanding So license per annum.
Now, =" fair is fair" Il ia bad rule that don't
work both ways, and We now give timely warning,
that il in the course Of human events, the
"goose question" shall have been settled, and
there should be no greater question before the
people, We shall demand the opinion Of every can
didate on the dog laws.
