The London Times has remarkab BILE arti-
Gle upon the difficulties between The United
States and England, in relation to Central
America and practically comedies that the
American terpretation of the Clayton and
BuIwer treaty is Just. 1t recommends the
abandonment of British possessions in that
quarter. The Times says:
! . Let us take our stand on the literal construc-
tion OF the Clayton and Bulwer treaty, which
accomplishes for us all that we can rcasona-
bly, desire in Central America. Lntu frank
Iy give up our questionable right TO the Mos
quito prOteCtorat te and the Island Of Ruatan
and. by way of delivering ourselves of the
whole embarrassment a once and forever,
throw the worthless settlement of Balize in
to the bargain. In return, let US call upon
the American government not only to OBJ
serve its portion Of the treaty, in respect Of
which we have hitherto had nothing 10 com
| plain, but also to root out the gang of pirates
and murderers who have taken possession of
the state Of Nicaragua, and hold it in def
ance of the will of both countries. Such an
example would do more to carry out the in
tenion of the treaty, than any amount of
protection to drunken savages Or occupation
of worthless islands"
The Philadelphia Enquirer says that Gov.
Seward, Gov. Chase and Judge Mclean are
spoken of in connection with the republican
nomination for the presidency. The Spring
! field (Mass.) Republican regards Nh. Banks
as the most available candidate We think
the name of Francis P. Blair deserves place
among those suitable as candidates.

WAsHINGToN.-Th Washington correspon-
dent of the N. Y. Tribune, writing on the
23d ult, says
Intelligence was received here Yesterday
from Missouri, giving assurance that the from
tier counties were disposed to submit to the
proclamation of the president, and to iorego
any purpose that may have been entertained,
Of interfering with the people OF Kansas.
Gov. Shannon was instructed by the presi
dent TO visit these counties personally, and
to state the presidents determination 10 en-
poy the military power at his disposal, in
resisting any invasion or aggression The
same instructions were given in regard 10
." lnSurrectiOnaly movements" inside the ter
ritory. And the utmost caution has been en-
joined upon the Gov and the commanding
officers in regard to the use of this force un-
der any condition of circumstances. 1t is
understood here that the president has asked
the southern senators and representatives to
stand by him in this determination TO re-
strain incursionS from Missouri, and that SO
far as they have been consulted, no indispo-
sition has been manifested.
So far as the proposed convention at To-
peka is concerned, the present intention is
TO obtain a civil process Of arrest against
such state officers as may undertake to exer-
else authority, upon the ground that they are
violating the law of the territory in assum-
ing functions to which they have not been
properly elected or which were not legally

the process, then and then only will the mil
titary be called in. But there is no good rea
son to apprehend any serious trouble if the
precautions which have been taken on both
sides are fairly carried out. The free state
men started messenger on Wednesday, adj

meet, organize and adjourn without attempt
