nominated Nicaraguan Minister to Washington.
How is our government going to settle the ques-
ton to which this appointment viii give rise
Father Will was sent here as Minister by the
Rivas government, and Major Heiss has CONT
nued to exercise the functions ad interim to the
present time.
VIII the Executive confirm Colonel Wheeler's
recognition Of Walker, or will it stand on the old
order Of things, and refuse to receive Mr. Oak
smith, on the ground that Rivas, whom. it recog-
nized as President, is still vested with the SUI
preme power? From the fast and loose way in
which our Cabinet has hitherto dealt with Mica
raguan questions, and the discouraging accounts
that have been lately given Of Walkers prospects,
we should not be surprised if some hesitation
were evinced on the subject. The shooting Of
Mr. Livingston is, however, too grave question
to be trifed with, and we apprehend that it will
decide any lingering doubts that may exist as to
the course which it behooves this country to take
in the issues involved in the struggle between
Walker and his enemies.
