CURIOUS CONFESSION FROM CosrA RIGA
President Mora, of Costa Rica, confirms the posi-
ton taken by Gen. Walker, that he was not driven
out of Nicarauga by the enemy, but through the
capitulation forced upon him by Capt. Davis, Q. S.
N, in his assumed character of representative of
the policy of President Pierce's Administration
President Mora frankly states, in his speech of Oc-
tober 2S-copied in the Cronca de Costa Rica of
October 3lst. and brought out in the last steamer
that Walkers position at Rivas was REALLY su-
perior to that Of the Central Americana"
In explaining the position of the "allies" in this
Girls, the President of Costa Rica says ''The raw
ages of the cholera, which was daily increasing,
and the near approach of the terrible season Of
rains, made the dissolution of the allied army in
evitabe, in twenty d Us; while Walker had still
600 able men, and resources which would have
enabled him to have sustained himself for a much
longer time than has been supposed. In the last
resort he might have at any time forced our weak
lines"

FRIDAY, DECEMBER Il. 1857.
Party Tyranny.

The telegraph announces that Mr. Blu
chanan has removed Mr.. MCKEoN from the
Office of District Attorney for New York,
because he refused to support the sham
democratic nominees in the late municipal
elections in the city of New York. Fer
nandO Wood was the sham democratic
nominee for Mayor. Mr.. McKeon, togeth-
er with large portion of the sham de-
mocracy of the city, supported another
sham democrat, who was regarded as an
honest man, and he was elected. The re-
mOval of Mr.. McKeon shows that Mr.
Wood did not misrepreSent the spirit of his
party-whether illustrated in the conduct
of himself or the President-when he said ::
al know my party well. Were Ito gohoms
and cut the throat Of one If nay family, I
should none the less be elected Mayor Of Neao
York nezt Tuesday by JiUe Moalsaud naajOri-
"tvo' So also Mr.. Cochrane, the United
States Collector of Customs in New York,
understood the spirit of the party when he
said at Tammany Hall, few days before
the election, 'a0ere Fernando Wood a deU5l
L" incarnate, the fact Of his selection as the
" standard-JeGrer Of his party IS enough TO
rally to his support the ranks Of the De
" zaocracy" In the removal of Mr.. Nc
Keen, for the cause stated, Mr.. Buchanan
ratiies and confirms these infamous senti-
ments. There was time when such things
as these would shock the moral sense Of the
people. That they do not do so now, is
an inauspicious omen for the future of our
government. 1t is a symptom of the de-
cay of the high moral tone of the masses
anything but promising to the purity and
long continuance of our institutions. Oh,
for return to the good old days, when,
"Is he honest? Is he capable? Is he
faithful to the Constitution" was the
standard of an officers merit, in the eyes of
the government!

The LeViuIhan.

The second trial to launch the new steamer
'Leviathan" formerly the "Great E,stern") was
made in private, and successful. The London
News gives the following as the cause of the fail
ure. Another attempt would be made two weeks
l1te.:
The hydraulic presses began to pump, the steam
engine was set agoing, and the innumerable
''cTahs" fore and att commenced their revolutions
Every one was on the tiptoe of expectation when
suddenly sullen plasn was heard in the water,
the hitherto "taut" chains dropped down, toats
filled with captains and engineers and secretaries
and inspectors pushed OF to the barge, aud it was
soon ascertained that the memorable city moor
ings, which had securely held successive genera
tions Of Indianmen aud ships, had given way
and that all chance of a launch was over for the
day. On more careful inspection it was discover
ed that one OF the chains from the vessel had gone
along with the city mOorings, aud that, in addi-
ton, the piOling of the hydraulc-press had gone
back several inches the firm earth itself having
proved unequal TO the struggle With the inertia OF
the LeviathaD.

The telegraph has told US of sold Tammany"
being in boiling rage Thursday night last, and
that several prominent Democrats were expelled.
Between one aud two o'clock, Friday morning, the
question put:
''shaI Daniel E. sickles and G. Godfrey Gum

The res ult was as follows: For expulsion, 6S;
against expulsion, 81
During the discussion there we're many exciting
scenes On the question whether the Wood trait
ors should be expelled or be permitted to resign,
the Wood men said this was not enough-''trat-
ors should not permitted to resign, but should be
expelled" Others coutended that resignation was
enough.

Mr. Welcker from the Committee on Agriculture
and Manufactures, returned the the bill to locate
the Division Fair at Columbia, and recommended
its rel ction.
Mr.. Goodpasture offered the following resolu-
ton.
Resolved That the system of banking in Tennes
is founded in error and hatits practical effects
detrimental TO the interest of the people, but
that the present is not auspiciOus time for wind
ing up the State Bank and its branches. That le-
gisatiOn by the present Legislature further than
pealing the Free Banking Law would be useless
aad futile.
ResoJUsa, That we should leave Banks and note
holders 70 be governed by the rights guaranteed to
each 10y existing laws, and in a panic like the pre-
sent, it Is absurd for the people look to the Leg
islature for relief. Lies over)

e1S" The new hall of the House of Repre-
senratiyes was lighted up for the first time
last evening" and numerous persons of both
sexes availed themselves of the opportunity
thus afforded TO witness the effect. 1t was
certainly striking and beautiful, and was con
sidered, we believe, by every visitor to be en-
tirely successful. The open squares in the
ceilings number forty-6ve, disposed in five
rows, containing nine each. Each square has
concentrc with it smaller square, around
which is disposed twenty-eight burners, max
ing ,260 burners in all. But besides these,
which, when a full head of gas is put on,
supply a most clear and brilliant light, the
curved carriers which are used for lighting
the squares may be used, aGgmenting the
light from the square fifth or a fourth. Sew
eral demonstrations of the facility with which
the whole can be Lighted were afforded last
evening, and showed that the entire round can
be lighted in the astonishingly short time Of
twenty seconds. We understand that this
method of lighting is due to the original con
ception of Capt. NJ. q. Meigs, in charge of
the Capitol extension. The whole number Of
jets employed in the lightning is forty-fve
thousand. The quantity OF pipe used On the
skyhght alOne) is nearly three-quarteT5 of
mile in extent. We learn that the lighting
arrangements were manufactured by Cornell
Us IL Baker, Of Philadelphia, aud that the
work OF fitting this extensive apparatus
throughout the entire building, together with
the water pipes &c, has been executed by the
firm of J. w. Thompson & Bro, Of this city,
to whom it is highly creditable, to say the
least.-Adt. Ind.

JUVENILE MURDER.-On Tuesday noon a lad
aged ten years, name John Conrad Heidenreich
was murdered on Eleventh street between Marion
and Carroll streets, by lad OF about the same ace
named Theodore Daujars. The former was re-

piece Of wood and basket of chips, and was with

claimed the wood and demanded it. 1t was ref1s-

force. The other resisted, and was thrown down
His assailint proving more powerful, planted n
knee firmly upon his throat and holding bin helm
