Concerning Mr. Champions neglect,
to read and report Lord Clarendon's
dispatch. proposing arbitration, the
London Ae,cs Of the 18th ult, re-
marks:
With this injunction to communicate
the dispatch to Mr.. Marcy, Mr..
Champion did not comply ill the eth
OF last month. In the letter to Mr..
Marcy with which he accompanied it,
he says: 1.-The truth is, the last para
graph Of the dispatch escaped my at
tention until / referred to it lately land
as was aware that the negotiation of
the question regarding Central Amer
lea was in Mr. Buchanan's and Lord
Clarendon's hands, l considered the
dispatch as merely meant for copy
of Information as to what was going
forward upon subject in regard to
which you were already informed"
In other words. Mr.. Champion did
not take the trouble to read attentively
dispatch received in November,
1856. till "lately;" and when he did
read it he took upon himself TO dis
obey it, on the assumption that the
intelligence il contained must have
been transmitted through some other
channel. 1t is pretty clear that Mr..
Champion is not man to be trusted
with important business; and we can
not see how the English government
can do otherwise than recall him.
It's possible, however, that Presi-
dent Pierce. not satisfied with sim
pie recall, will insist upon having the
reason for it expressly stated; and that
the reason assigned by the English
Government will be arediinefiicienI
by the President. So the question o.
punctilio between the two Govern
ments will remain exactly where il
was, with the additional embarrass'
ment to the English Cabinet, that
while, on the one hand, to recall Mr.
Champion at this moment might have
the appearance Of sacrificing him FOL
doing what he was instructed to do,
on the other, not to recall him would
be to overlook grave ofense, and re-
pose confidence in one who has shown
that he does not deserve it.

was awful, enough to bring tears to
the eyes Of the besotsed topper, who
accompanied each whack Of the hatch

its" One case in particular we will
digress 70 mention. A walking illus
tration Of a whisky barrel was with
doIeful conntenance looking on at the
destruction Of bis favorite beverage,
and could not resist the involuntary
exclamation of "Shame! It's a
shame !" One OF the ladies who
heard it stepped up to him and hold
ing out her Ratchet, remarked THAT
they had come there to TAP everything
that had whiskey in it, and that il he
had any regard for himself he had
better be leaving r Such a splitting
Of sides that ensued was caution to
weak ribs.
The next visit was to friend ''Kolb, f"
a man among the men OF his calling
One who had always lived on terms
Of acquieseence to the laws and rights
Of his neighbors. Here compromise
ensued by acceding to the request to
"sell no more. The pledge being
satisfactory his property was spared
and the procession moved off, rejoicing
that they found ''man" and gen.
tleman that had saved them the neces.
sity Of spilling more Of the 'critter. .
They next visited German by the
name Of s'Shivley," whose wife had q
baby yesterday before noon," and who
protested that he did not keep the car.

barrel discovered hid in a stake
and ridered hog-pen. and its contents
went the way Of all the rest. They

pus. the same shall be directed TO the
Sheriff or Coroner, commanding him
to bring the parties before the court
for examination. 1t does not assume
to pass upon the constitutionality Of

simply provides for the efficient exc

Democracy have seen in this simple
measure dissolution Of tho Union, and

endangering the peace and perma'
