mittee OH territories, bill 10 provide, in Tho
usual form, for the admission Of Kansas into the

lanls shall be ascertained by census to be not

Kansas question 'fbs migration into the ter
rllory during the coming summer and fall will be-
very large, especially i! this bill should pass

Mir. Clayton again demonstrated in some re-

preten.ions ir Central MISUNDERSTANDING The
construction that the provisions of his treaty
were ''prospeclive,o and disprovipg the aIleea-

The debate in the House on the Kansas ques-
ton still continues, and is likely to continue as
long as members who are in vavor of the reson-
ton Of the committee on elections for sending
TO Kansas for persons and papers shall desire
TO speak. The anxiety TO speak on the ques-
ton seems 10 be increasing.
The debate has, on The whole, SO far been
orderly in its tone, and very creditable TO ,hs
new House in point OF ability.
Gen Walkers las; cogp d etat is the suhec.
OF considerable comment. and ia The opinion OF
some our government ia tound 10 interfere for
the protection otthe Transit Company whether
that company, in the present controversy, 10
right or wrong But this is a very erroneous
view Of the matter, for even if The company
have good grounds FOR complaint, our govein-
ment is under no Obligations TO relieve lheol
On late occasion, when the United States
f1evn inia tfc tl,,G
ter movements OF the Nicaragua Transit Com
pany, the plea set UP by that Company was
thai the COMPANY, holding its ehar,ol from The
government or Nicaragua, was not responsible
to the Government OF the United Slales. OF
course, then, the Company eas 10 righ. TO
| claim protection from the government Of tho
United States. 1t is matter bel weer private
Company-a corporation created by NieaIaeus
and the Government of the State ffoin Which

II Walker had selzed the ocean steamers of
the Transit Company which, by a special act
Of Congress, We're nationalized and designate
by name, aud permitted TO bear the United
States flag, il could have been very different
matter Bat General Walker has cancelled The
charter 81 The company on the ground thar tho
company had BOT complied with its terms
The t.uesti0n, therefore, is one which is to be
settle ay the laws OF Nicaragua alone.
II last advicas trnrn San Juan show that
Cen Walker Is IN avery critical situation, and
Is exposed to The unfelentng enmity OF The iour
allied Central American States, and xlsa Of this
dlssfscted Niearaguaus. No government
that relies solely on force for its maintenance
can long be upheld. Batthe people Of Cen
tral America have manifested for more than
twenty years an incafacity lar regular aud Of
Jely government, and Walkers advent has
heen senalized by a temporary suspension OF
their Interval strife. They have, each and all
Ofen offered 10 put themselves under the pro-
lection Of the United States and colne INTO TIE
federal Union. But they do not like 10 hs
Americsnised by force. If Walker should be
embraced by them as reformer and leader he
would be the means OF their civil re-genera-
ton.
Recent development IS indicate that the De-
mecracy of Ohio are for judge Douglas, as
their first choice for The Presidency.
