A European officer apparently of very supe-
ror military education, is now actively engaged in
different States Of the Union, in enlsting officers
for some unknown military purpose. Only officers
of artillery and engineers able to direct the con-
struction of Notifications are wanted. These en-.
listments are made wit the Ostensible design of
forming standing army in Central America and
putting that country in efficient state Of defense
against any future attack of filibusters. Accord.
ing to statements made in connection with these
proceedings the FIVE Republics of Central Amer
lea are TO be transformed into one monarchy. The
plan is TO be carried out with the aid Of political
party In Mexico and the landing of military force
is to be effected in one Of the ports on the Mexican
coast south of Coatzacoalcos The whole intrigue
may be in connection with the movements of Santa
Anna. though it would appear that the immediate
destination of the officers to be enlisted is really
Central America as it ia known that the individual
engaged in enisting them has lately made tour
through the State of Guatemala.

The decision of the Supreme Court on the sppli-
cation for an injunction against the sale Of the Main
Line Of Public Works of Pennsylvania was deliy-
cred yesterday. The points decided were as fol-
lows: /. That the Legislature had constitutional
authority to authorize the sale Of the Main Line.
2. That the Pehnsy lvania Railroad Company may
lawfully become a purchaser at such sac. 3. That
the Legislature have constitutional authority to re-
peal the tunnsge tax. A. That the Legislature
cannot bind the State by contract from imposing
equal taxes, ard that the condition Of sale to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in that respect is
void ard an injunction to that extent is granted
But, s. That in all other respects the sale may go
on and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company may
bid and purchase on the same terms as othercorpo-
rations or individuals.
