The Candidates for Spcakcr---Gem. ZOI-
IicOfferss Interrogatorfes

The readers of yesterdays Patriot doubt
less read with much interest the replies of
the candidates for Speaker of the House to
the interrogatories propounded to them by
Gen. Zollicoffer. Although rendered some
what confused and unintelligible by the tel
egraphic reporter, it is evident that the re-
ply of Mr. FULLER, the candidate of the
National Americans, was the most satisfac-
tory as it was the most manly. He has
placed himself upon an impregnable plat
form, and We hope not one of his support
ers will abandon him for another. Nobly
has he indicated their confidence in him.
firmly and devotedly should they stand by
him to the end.

THE DAY FIxED.-The Democratic Nation
al Convention met tins morning, according to
the call published throughout the country
some time since, at the National Hotel in this
city, every State being represented. The Hon.
ROBERT NJ. MoLANE, of Maryland, was in the
chair.
"rhe only business whatever approached
was the question of the best time for the meet
ing of the next Democratic National Conven-
ton at Cincinnati. Many suggestions were
made, and conversational debate took place;
some gentlemen favoring as early period as
the last week in March, while Others desired
the time of the assembling of the Convention
to be put off until July. Finally, the first
Monday in jane next, at u NJ, was agreed on
unanimously. The Committee then adjourned

WASHINGTON May 8.
The Washington Herald's correspondent
writes:
The conduct Of the British war authority Of
San Juan, on arrival of the steamer Orzaba, a.
bout the middle of last month, in surrounding
that vessel and exercising power over her pas
sengers, is deemed by our Government as a
fagrant breach of duty.
The State department las sent to New York
and procured afidavits Of all the facts, prev-
Gus to calling on Mr. Champion to account, as
it was under his orders that the Or5aba was
interfered with. The result of this proceeding
at San Juan has led to tho determination to re-
co2nize the administration through its repre-
sentatives.
As soon as Judge Evans can obtain the floor,
he will deliver speech in favor of the repeal
of our neutrality laws, and take strong grounds
for the immediate recognition Of Nicaragua.
Those in the confidence of the Administra.
ton say that the new minister will be received
as soon as the next steamer arrives, should Ger
Walker still be in power The Marcella pre-
diets that Walker and his men have all beer
hung before this.
