We have stirring intelligence from Europe, Mexi-
co and Central America. The Government have re-
ceiyed the full correspondence between our Minister
in London and Lord Clarendon, on the conflicting IN
Propositions of the Claytoua aud Bnlwer Treaty. The
general result is that the celebrated arrangement IS
no more Ii is by mutual agreement, or rather dis
agreement, explained away. II has disappeared IN a
cloud OF construction and is repudlated by common
consent In the negotiation upon This question, both
Mr. Marcy and Mr.. Buchanan have put forth their
highest ability, and have shown themselves perfect
masters of the art Of dipIomaey-more than match
in fact for Clarendon and Palmerston combined the
latter being, perhaps the most acute and adrolt IN
Europe not excepting the German veterans, Meter
Mich and Nesselrode.
Mr.. Buchanan writes that the British Government,
being pressed by him, under instructions, 10 give a
distinct answer to these demands of the American
Government, has replied that she rejects them With
out qualification.

SHORT SEssIoNs-A FARMERs's SPEECH
The Cleveland (Ohio) Herald brings in Il
seasonabc anecdote, founded on resolu
ton for adjournment in the Legislature Of
that State-a resolution which is invariably
found to be waste of time. The incident
is related to show the excellent practical
sense of Mr.. Leverett Johnson, n member of
the House:
"The incident occurred in the session Of
lS37'-38, Mr.. Johnson then being n new
member. Some four weeks of the session
had expired, when member offered a reso-
luton that the Legislature should adjourn
some time in the month of February ensuing.
The resolution elected warm discussion, and
had pretty much used up a whole forenoon,
when Mr. Johnson rose for the first and per-
haps the only time He said, in substance,
tina he was n practical farmer; that it was not
customary for farmers when they went into
their fields TO sit down upon the plough.tai
and spend the day in deciding when they
would 90 home; but they set about their
work, and when that was dome they went
home. lie added that he thought the House
better follow the example oflhe farmer, and
do up their work and then go home, and not
waste any more time in the present useless
discussion. These views met with the en-
tire concurrence of the body, and nothing
more was said of going hoae until the bus
mess was done"

GREAT PROFIT OF WHIsKgY.-The pres
ent price of raw whiskey in Louisville (ac.
cording to the Courier of that city, is thirty.
four cents per gallon, which yields an cnor-
nous profit to the distier. He pays thirty
cents per bushe for his corn new cornl
grind4 out about -four hundred bushels per
diem, which makes upwards of sixteen hun.
dred gallons of new whiskey, or rather more
than four gallons to the bushnell Thus Il
bushcl of corn costing thirty cents, Yields to
the manufacturer, upwards of four gallons of
whiskey, which at thirty-four cents per gal
Ion, amounts to the snug sum of S544 per
day. The nett profit on this single days
work of converting corn into whiskey is full
ly $3.50, or upwards of $500 per week, pro-
vided the work is suspended on Sunday.

The EMPEROR OF FRANcE.-Fath in his
star is his all-domnatng conviction. Louis
Xl. had no lirmer reliance on his leaden angels
than Louis Napoleon on certain "Iucky
penny" he got from Norwood gypsy, repre-
senting herself as the granddaughter of that
zingaro who foretold that Josephine would
be an empress. Describing his acquisition of
that enchanted coin, one day, shortly after his
escape from Ham, when very disconsolate
looking man about town here, and being asked
what he thought would become o; him! he
replied, he had not the smallest doubt the
prediction of the iortune-telcr would be full
filed, that no should become Emperor of the
French, the arbiter of Europe, and die by the
hand of woman! How ridiculous, you ex-
claim Well, is it any more so than his whole
career for the last seven years would have
sounded spoken of as a thing of possibility
seven years ago!

ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR THE EoMlxArioy.-
Commodore Robert T. Stockton has written a
letter to a committee of Americans at Tren
ton, New Jersey, in which he takes strong
ground in favor of the principles and doc
trInes OF the American party. We quote the
closing portion of it below, with the remark
that the Commodore may now be considered
| in the field for the nomination:
The crafty engineers of political specula-
ton see no danger and never will see any,
which does not threaten to arrest their profita
BILE control of parties The doctrine that
"Americans alone shall rule America" design
ed to restore the government ms it was in the
days OF Washington, to the hands of "Ameri
cans alone, is stigmatised by the organized
cabal Of politicians who WELD the machinery
Tor manufacturing the incumbents of office
from that of the Presidency downwards, as
pestllent heresy, and those who hold to this
ancient American doctrine are denounced as
traitors The progress of events is rapidly
bringing the country to the condition when
but two parties will contend with each other
the one the American party and the other
the Foreign party. The American party will
seek the restoration of the government to
American control, such as IL was when it
came fresh from the American people The
iorelgn party Will seek to propitlate the for
egn element, pander to its insolent ambition
and aspiring prcdomnnnce, contend for the
continuance and extension of its privileges
cringe with servlity to its dictates, and offer
new brides for its friendship. The simple fact
that the next election Of a President of the
United States may turn upon the assertion of
the remuneration by the American people of
the doctrine that "Americans alone should
rule America" should be sufficient TO nstonsh
and alarm us If the doctrine be renowned,
it will be owing to the overpowering force of
the foreign element in our population. The
mighty power OF that element has been

lied to it. They have measured its length
and breadth, its height and depth, and they
are willing to stake their destinies on its ON.

to annex cypher to the answer when there
is no remainder and when there is a remain
der, whatever it may be, annex a to the

will be 1880; divide the same number by 2

BRITISH IGSoRANcE.-The English press
are as ignorant of our politics us they are of

itself by saying: 1.-THE alliance between Old

must be stronger than the Union which the
Northern aud Southern States are alike and
simultaneously threatening to dissolve. Mas.

contemporary should remember that though
we may have our little domestic squabbles, il
is always dangerous for Il stranger TO inter

Europe bleeding at every pore, and its thrones
tumbling into deserved decay, before she
would permit foreign insult to South Caro-.

IYvEYrIoN FOR SHOOTING MOLTEN IRoN.-One
of the engineers at Fawcetts Foundry, Liver
pool, where they have been making some
thousands of shells for the Crimen, has in,
vented coating for the inside of shells which
will enable them to be fired full of molten
iron Each she'll, in the manner he proposes
to make them, will contain fifty pounds of
iron in state of fusion, and where the shell
falls, destruction extends around it; if on
damp ground, no man can lie within fifty
yards of it, thus making the invention one OF
great value and power. The filling up each
hell with the molten iron will take about
twenty five minutes.
