there is pump, and the stone of the pump
on Tuesday evening, about o'clock, an elder of the
Mormon sect commenced preaching the doctrines of
Joe Smith, and prasing at great length the land of
promise, Salt Lake city. He had been at his work
about quarter of an hour when, in answer to a
question he denied the system Of poygamy as being
praised Brigham Young as saint, etc. This ap.
peared to be too much for the Shefelders assembled
and they pushed him from his rostrum. He got on
again, but received the same treatment. Again he
arose till at last few strong arms laid hold of the
elder, and quietly placed him under the large pump.
In instant crowds rushed to the handle and pump
ing on him. There were plenty Of Mormon elders
and Mormons standing by, who, seeing the reception
that being given to their leader, made hasty re-
thinking no doubt he had had enough for one day.

THE RIGHT COURSE. Our American friends at
Washington, perceive, are insisting upon the hold
ing Of inquests the bodies of the victims in the
recent riots. This is right, and we hope they will
push their investigations to the utmost extent in the
taking of testimony and the showing up of the guilty
parties to the public We have no fears for the re-
suit We not only court but strenuousy urge them to
ferret out the matter and shall take great pleasure in
crimes of the ruthless invaders No backing out Let

Gen. Walker and the Nicaraguan Transit.
The Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun
thinks Walker visits Washington to obtain some sort
obstacle to the of his power Ncar
aqua. he says, in regard to the transit:
The several parties to the Nicaragua Transit dis
pute have each made representations to the Govern
ment- Mr.. Garrison has made some propositions re-
Gently to the Government on this subject But il ia
not at all probable that Gen. Walker is coming here,
as has been intimated in some quarters, to aid his
siness and their great losses for it is well understood
that OF Late they had ceased to fulfil the conditions
OF their grant, and had withheld their aid and
tenance from Gen. Walker.
There are at least three prominent competitors for
| the right to the Nicaraguan transit. Commodore
Vanderbilt was the holder Of this franchise when it
was taken from him by Gen. Walker, together with
several steamers which, in the fell into the hands
Of Costa Rica- he has the receipt, of the Costa
Rcan government, he says, for this property, and
also claim upon Nicaragua for damages and losses
| to which he had been subjected MI. Webster, an
English subject, holds the grant Of the Costa Riean
government for the exclusive use Of the ranst and
Mr. Grnnel, of New York is, it is stated interested
Garrison Morgan have also claim for restoration
to their franchises derived from the late Walker
Rivas government. ,aS ~
The latest phase which this matter assumed was
that of coalition Of interests and influence between
I Mr.. Webster and Mr.. G. X. Garrison both Of whom
were recently here, and who made sofne propositions
to the government looking to resumption of tat
passenger and freight line the Isthmus under
| the joint guaranty Of the United States England
Costa Rica and Nicaragua for the future security
their interests against hostility from any qnarter
The consummation Of such scheme, would frus
trate any libuster attempt upon Nicaragua, except
througha combination between the transit company
and the invading parties. l..Y.'. :.
