reletlVc 10 the Information which Will soon be
transmitted to the Senate in answer to that
body's recent call on the President for the
facts involved in the affair between Walker
and the Transit Company.
1t is understood that the Senate are anxious
to protect the rights and interests of the Ameri.
cans whose property Walker has seized. Ifit
shall turn out that the Company, as a corpora
ton, have not had completely in Walkers
usurrs,iln Of the government of Nicaragua
that tne completely charged upon it was, as
now alleged, the surreptitious work of the
agents for their ships in New York and San
francisco for their own Individual benefit as
against the interests of their employers, we
think 1t safe to say, that the case of the COM
pany will receive every attention that the Sem
ate aud Executive branch Of the Government
can accord to it. Walker being in power and
having thus within his clutches near 81 900 900
worth Of its property, the company was COM
PEELED to do nothing in Nicaragua against his
government. If it is shown that it merely
acted towards him there, as towards any other
one of the parties who have been temporarily
IN power there, the case with the other re-
quisite mentioned above) will probably be
promptly taken in hand by the authorities
here, and as promptly pushed, until indem.
MITIGATION for the past and security for the fu-
ture be obtained, past peradventure. We
draw this conclusion from the unanimity of
opinion which tho public men outside of the
Administration with whom we have couversed
on the subject, express upon it. They are
very seldom in error when agreeing on any
such point; and We have therefore every rea.
son to rely OF their judgement in this case
