reasoning Of Banks with the empty defamation Of
Floyd In Wall street, and the home thrusts Of Gen.
Wilson upon the main question with the labored
twaddle Of Seward upon fictitious side issue;
and the difference between practical men and
foolish politicians and agitators will be seen at
glance. Martin Van Buren,, although an old par
ty fossil of the Saurian epoch has yet, while en-
dorsing Buchanan and the niger policy Of the

GEN. LANE OF KANSAS AND HIS TERRIBLE
CHALIENGE.-Our readers will find elsewhere in
these columns very remarkable manifesto from
Gen. Lane, the free State military champion in
Kansas. It very interesting document, as far
as it confirms the atrocities Of border rufianim
as contrasted with the humane, defensive policy
of the free State settlers, and 1t Is very encour
aging to be thus assured that the administrative
policy Of making Kansas slave State by force
of arms has thus far been signal failure. But
the most remarkable feature in this letter is the
novel proposition Of Gen. Lane for the settlement
of the question Of slavery or no slavery in Kan
sas.
He proposes, instead Of another Dor
der rufian invasion, that they adopt the old
plan of the days of chivalry-that is, . decisive
fight between limited number Of champions on
either side. He thinks that hundred men of
either party would do, and that they fight the de-
cisive fight in the presence of twelve members Of
each House Of Congress, one half Of whom shall
be selected by each party, with the mutual agree
ment that the blood Of the parties shall settle this
question, and save Kansas from further outrage
The Horatii and the Curatii-Lane himself vo-
unteering to be the first Horatius
And why should not this plan be adopted by
the border rufians? 1t is exactly in their line.
It proposes their own policy Of fighting it ont,
and to make short work Of it by picked COM
pany Of combatants and single decisive battle
The North, we doubt not, could furnish the re-
quired hundred martyrs to save their country,
and the administration democracy, with such men
as Brooks, Wise, Keitt, Herbert, JEFF Davis,
Atchison, Pierce, Stringfellow, Buford, Titus,
Forney, John Van Buren,, Slidell, Floyd, Captain
Scott, Toombs, Quattlebum and others, could
easily make up their hundred. And suppose not
. man on either side should survive the fghts
Would not their loss be the country's gainf The
fact Is, II Pierce Atchison and Stringfellow, who
have already had their feathers clipped by Lane,
should refuse this proposition of picked COM
pany for decisive fight, they had better retire
at once from the field. Let us hear from them.

TIE MEXICAN BoNDs.-The last news in re-
ference to these bonds is that the British govern
ment has forwarded strong remembrance to the
government Of Mexico, insisting that the customs
duties appropriated as collateral security for the
payment of the interest shall not be applied to
other uses, but shall be collected under the
authority Of Mr. Whitehead as the agent of the
b0ndholders.
So far as this goes there is no harm done.
England has right to say what che Likes, and
no doubt her government viii feel inclined to
speak plainly to nation which has shown such
very bad faith as Mexico. As to the appoint
ment of Mr.. Whitehead as co-treasurer of Mexico,
we doubt it very much President Comonfort
could hardly consent to such an arrangement with
ont serious sacrifice of real power and apparent
dignity and the chances are that this will occur
to him directly. We should not be surprised to
hear that he has answered that he will have
nothing to do with Mr.. Whitehead otherwise than
to pay him his interest; that he will do what in
him lies to make these payments regularly-as
the confscation Of the church property will
enable him to do; but that, for the rest, if Eng
land De not satisfied, ne cannot help II. An
answer Of this kind would place the British in a
dilemma: they would either have to back down,
or to threaten. The latter course would rouse
this country, which, Of course, win never allow
an European Power to interfere with the indie
pendence Of Mexico and in the end, John Bull
would probably find the former plan the most
sensible.
It's pity, of course, that people who borrow
money should not always repay it at the right
time but public sympathy should not always be
on the side Of the injured creditor. The English
men who lent their money to Mexico were not
compelled to do 50 by law, or by force, OF by any
other reason than the uncommonly fine chance they
thought they saw Of making money; they pur-
chased the risk with the bonds. Why should
they howl so much about it now? They made
their bed let them sleep on it.

About forty Of the two hundred engineers en-

in consequence Of the refusal of the company to
rescind or modify rule, adopted by the Board of
Directors, discharging any engineer who allows his

The engineers also demanded an increase Of wages,
and the privilege of free passage for the employees
Of other railroad companies over the road both Of
which propositions were likewise rejected. The
strike, however, did not cause the slightest embar
