STREET NUGsANCES.-We have at least qulre Of

day dedicated to our deyerance from monarchs,
although not alas from mud. We suppose that
then it attracted very little attention; that some
people thought the writer to be needlessy irGscbe;
While others imagined that he had strained point
merely to make d paragraph. And yet, by the
3lst of July following, the city was in panic;
every body had run away who could run away; the
streets were deserted; the theaters were closed;
business was almost entirely suspended; WORK
ships were quarantined at nearly every domestic
port, and the bills Of mortality up TO about 100
deaths per diem by cholera. Before the end Of the

WAsHNGTOE, Friday, May -, 1857.
Information has been received in this city by which
it appears that the difficulty in entering Austria is now
increased by the new passport system, which makes
it necessary that passports shal be given up at the
frontier. Travellers WILL therefore, have to enter at
the principal routes if their passports be not in proper
form.

Legation in Frankfort, unless the passport has been
already verified by the Austrian Minister in Washing

courtesy, when it has the wise Of American Minis

Until we get Capt Dsyis's own account II Is
impossible exactly to make out the share which
that American commander had in the capitulation
If Walker. The representations gwen by the hih-
busters would seem rather difficult TO reconcue
with that view of his own duty and instructions
which this same Capt Davis took, in letter OF his
which we published some time ago. addressed TO the
commander of the Nicaraguan forces, TqnSIng 10
interfere to prevent the landing of tlbusters from
San Francisco at San Juan del Sur Ii it was con-
trary TO bis orders TO interfere to prevent their
landing. how happened it that, consistently with
those orders, he could interfere to help them OF
1t is plain enough, however, with all tho
clustering of Hennngsen and Walker about having
capitulated to Davis and not TO the Costa Ricans,
that the capitulatOn in substance to the Allies
and the fact that the name of the Allied General
was not signed to the capitulatlon is explained by
the statement in this mornings TRIBUNE of gen.
tleman who arrived in the city by the Illinois, and
who came direct from Gen. Moras camp. He
states that Gen. Mora refused to degrade Central
America by signing his name to paper to which
Walker was party, and previously he refused to
have an interview with Henningsen during the
negotiations with Capt Davis, because he looked
upon him as bandit chief. Ii is evident that tho
fllibusters owed their lives to the anxiety OF tho
Central Americans to put an end at once to the
war and the disposition, which, on the whole, per-
haps was a wise one, to let Walker and lienning-
sen escape with necks unstretched rather than pro-
tract the contest for the mere privilege of hanging
them.
Over the exact share borne by the notorious Titus
in this affair." as well over Capt. Davis's part in
ii. some doubt also hangs According to one ac-
count Titus, deserted three four days before the
surrender According to his own account, this al
legged desertion was only visit to Capt. Davis to
prevail on him to interfere to save Walker life.

The State of Pennsylvania was, some two or three
years since. impelled to make provision for County
Superinteudents Of SchOols-a most important and,
in proper hands, most useful class of officers.
The respective Counties were allowed by the act to
elect and fix tie pay Of their respective Superin-
tendents and to modify that pay from time to time
as they should deem just and polite. The new
Report Just issued shows what salaries are now
paid respectively and rejoice over the fact that,
so far as they have been changed, they are generally
higher than the rates first fixed, though still gem
orally quite low. Wealthy and liberal Lancaster
heads the list with a salary of $500; while Ale
sheny, which includes the great and hourishing
cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny and has scarcely
less than 100000 inhabitants, pays but $1,000,
along with Bradford. Bucks Chester, Schuylklll,
Wayne and York. Wayne and Bradford are our
neigbbors, aud their relative liberality makes US
proud Of their yicinagc) Old Berks began, we
believe by paving a paltry $3.50, but she has
raised the salary To 1912 which considering
that she is old Berks is very fair, though we
suspect several superintendents of her coal-mines
or iron works are paid twice as much. MOntgom-
cry and Tioga pay $500 each, when the former Is
better able to pay $500 than the latter is 5000;
and in fact -, OOO would be but fair salary for
Montgomery to pay for such service. Armstrong,
Cambria Centre, Erie. Luzerne and Washington
pay $500 each, which, for the three last named,
seems little enough For Cambria, the sum strikes
us as generous. Lebanon pays 500; Blair, Clear
field, Clinton Crawford, Cumberland, Hunting
Union, Warren, each 5000; Indiana, $3.50; Bed
ford Delaware, Franklin. Jefferson, Juniata, Law
renee, Lehigh. MOntour, Nenango, each $500;
Somerset Si75: Adams Carbon. Columbia, Elk,
Northumberland, Perry. each $500; Greene, Si69;
Beaver, $3.50; Butler, Clarion DaHphin, Fayette,
Lycoming Potter, Sullivan, each $500; Mexican,
$3.50; Fulton, SNYDER, each $500; Wyoming,
$50; Monroe, Pile each 500 1t will astonlsh
some readers that the County of Dauphin, which
pays her School Superintendent less than hostlers
wages (incuding his board), is old and rich, in-
Guiding Harrisburg, the State Capital, city which
contributes to the support of blacklegs and grog-
shop keepers not less than One Million Dollars
year. She actually pays her School Superintendent
$50 less than the poor backwoOds County Of Elk,
whose population is not fifth and whose wealth is
not twentieth that Of Dauphin. Can't the SCAT
ters Of Elk get up subscription toward paying
the Dauphn Superintendent decent salary
We should like to shame Fayette, LycOming,
Wyoming and Monroe into paying salaries which
would indicate that they consider the education of
their children matter of as much Importance rs
the docking Of their horses, but We viii wait an
other year in the hope that We may by that time
chronicle some amendment.

call, to get the required forty votes, AID SO the
ordinance was laid ON the table to give time to
drum up recruits-a special meeting being ordered
for last night. Meantime, the Mayor discovered
the presumptuOus amendments The ordinance
which was to make him unquestiOned lord and
master over all appointments and removals had
been tempered with. The leaders were at once
convened, the absentees brought in, and all and
singular got piece of bis HonOEs mind. The
consequence was that the independent leaders of

lowing all their brave words, and gently cringng

A serious conflict between State and Federal
officers occurred in Green County, Ohio. A Dep
uty.Marshal of the United States, with eleven as
sistans, went from Cincinnati on Tuesday to arrest
four persons in Champaign CountyOn charge ofhar-
boring fugitive slaves nine months ago. The arrests
were made on Wednesday, when writ of habeas
corpus was procured but before it could be served
the Marshal had got out Of the county. Another
writ was procured in Green County, and served by
the Sheriff The Marshal resisted and several
shots were fired but the United States officers were
at last overpOwered, taken prisoners and conveyed
to Springfield for trial the charge of resisting the
Sheriff while in the performance Of his duty The
affair very naturally creates intense excitement
The Secretary Of the Interior, application of the
United States Marshal at Cincinnati, has sent pr-
vate instructions in the case and Judge Leayitt OF
the United States District Court has granted writ
of babeas corpus to bring the arrested officers be-
fore him at Cincinnati. Should resistance be Of
fered, it is said the Government troops will be
ordered out
