ed at Washington by Mr.. Herbert, member
of Congress from California, publishes the
following card:
WAsHrNeToN, June a, 1856.
A report has been extensively published
that the honorable p. F. Herbert, had given
to the wife of my late brother, Thomas
Keating handsome dwelling and money to
educate her children. If the intention Of the
author was to create public favor of Mr.. Her
bert, deem it my duty TO deny that Mrs.
Keating received any such favon from him.
There is no foundation whatever for such re-
port. And have never heard any person say
that he ever expressed any regret for the act
by which widow and two orphan children
were left solely dependent on the charity Of
the world.
There has been generously presented to the
widow, the sum Of five hundred dollars sub
scribed by the guests of Willard's Hotel
BY publishing the above YOU will confer
great favor, aud an act Of justice on the fami-

Col. Walker.

The New York Tribune cannot repress Its ex
ultation at the reverses which Walker and his
little band of adventures have encountered. We
do not understand how any American can view
with complacency the slaughter of his own coun
trymen by foreigners no matter though his coun
trymen may fall in a bad cause, which we are not
prepared to acknowledge Col Walkers cause TO
be- But It is perfectly nauseating for negro
thieves, like the New York Tribune, or wholesale
land robbers, like Great Britain, to pirate and
whine about the dishonesty of fllibustering.
Lord Clarendon, in a secret sneaking way, may
take q hand himself at flbustering in Central
America, but that's all right. Walker, openly and
above. board, engages in fllbustering, and some
of his own countrymen rejoice in the prospect Of
his determination

marks that at the request of the Revolutionary
rulers of France, President Washington did no,
hesitate to recall from Paris Governor Morris
who had committed real offence, and whose
abilities and communications Washington priced
above those of any other Minister abroad. In 1888
he gave formal notice to the foreign Consuis that

enlistment of men, natives or Inhabitants of the
