nor does appear possible in the nature OF things to
establish permanent and safe commercial highway
between New York and California, until this malady

part of the Administration. Transit charters are at
present mere waste paper, and will continue 10 be

powers, in violation Of the laws and policy OF the
United States and of all civilized Governments, Will
in future be prevented by the military power OF ths
Government.
Very odd and amusing communications make their
appearance occasionally as pufis for the frssarrl
A. Al I,, A
and who is probably the "fat boy" of the Transit
charters informs the public, in The star, that
"Varderbilt is aiding Walker" The species OF
"aid" which the "vulture" of the Accessory Tran
sit Company, 40 he is kindly designated BY The
Star correspondent, would give to Walker, would
be very like what the Sheriff gives TO the con-
demned murderer, i. e., to help him to rope.
This new Canal Company, whose putting machine
gives this judciOus guess at Vanderbilts position
asserts that "Gsrrson q Morgans steamers have
been purchased by the Company" land paid
for in time bonds" Certainly not in any other; for
it can be said of this Company as OF many Others:

The abuse of poor Charles Morgan by this CORE
spor dent is really unkind. Why should he say
'neither Vanderbilt nor Morgan are in tt G., In
this Company. Dir. Morgan is, by all accounts,
respectable and worthy gentleman, and 1t must be
an aggravation TO him. after selling his steamers to
this new concern, on time bOnds'-an act of re-
markable courtesy, and showing his confidence In
their ability to pay-tO have the pubic informed
that be lis not in it." as if he were some dsreputa
BILE person-especally when the fact is patent that,
having sold all he had in the world for parcel of
of time bonds, he is not only in 1t, but clearly
Z" in for il" steamers and all.
Tho numbering of our families and the desOla-
/" ton of our hearth stones by Walker" which The
Star correspondent signing himself - Nicaragaan"
complains of, is dreadful disclosure. Can 1t be
possible that this formidable bandit has extended
his butcheres to the homes and firesdes of New.
York, and the public know nothing of it, Can this
have been accomplished through the cOnnivance OF
YOUR formidable "MayOr WOOd!" Let us have the
facts. Perhaps the smash of Nicaragua Transit
shares, in Wall street, just after the seizure OF the
Transit lake and river boats, may be the murder
ana desoation' alluded to, which visited "our
hearth stones" ,
This "Ncaraguan, whose grief for the DESC
aton of his native land is so touching just throws
in, as it were "by the way" and accidentally, an
alusion TO the fact that the In.erOceanic Com
psny have quantity of shares to dispose Of The
par value of these he thinks should be $40, 400,
but, prior to the revival of the Company they sold
"for few hundred dollars each" I" suppose
SAYS this patriotic Ncaraguan, they are mostly held
"by the thirty or forty gentlemen composing the
"present Atlantic and Pacific Ship Canal Com
"pany" "Save us from England" cries this ell
eauent Ncaraguan, "whOse mortgage on Costa
Rica," &C., &c. This is a kind of prayer or sup.
plcatiOn to any person whom it may concern.
Seriously speaking, this is the most wretched and
contemplate piece of pufiery for initiating new
stock iobbing concern it has been our fortune to
meet with yet If thirty or forty gentlemen"
have actually secured grant from Nicaragua, they
have shown some wit, some talent; but their shares
can never have any value if they thrust them under
peoples noses in such bold, beggariy fashion. 1t
il clear that Morgan and Garrison have made
paper arrangement with White and Yrissarrl, and by
virtue of that arrangement give the concern some
degree of responsibility. They have put in their
steamers as a nest egg with the ability to withdraw
them at pleasure. The share peddlers meanwhile
are sweating off their paper fast as possible before
the receipt of any bad news which may arrive IRON
Nicaragua.
IfMr. Aliens negotiations in Costa RIGA turn out
fortunately for Mr. Vanderbilt, and it Notwithstanding
appears that the Yrssarri contract has been actually
confirmed by the Ncaraguan Government to Mr..
White and bis partners, Messrs. Garrison and Nor,
gan, the proper course will be compromise and
union of interests. The continuance OF the war BE-
tween Costa Rica and Nicaragua is not probable,
notwithstanding the calculations OF Walker ana
Henningsen ON the detection Of Martinez Had
Walker been popular man, he might have kept
party for himself among the natives in Nicaragua;
but he seems to have been generally hated. The
Yrssarri contract WILL inthe case supposed, have
caleaable value in dollars; the "thrty or forty gem
tlemen" (for which read FIVE or six) who actually
control this contract, if they sensible men, will
say to their rivals "Will you pay or sell, and how
much shall it be- This will save a monstrous
amount of lying and pufery, and reduce the Whole
business to a decent and manageable shape. q. s.
PSI have by me some old notes furnished BY
friend, touching the earlier and later transactions
of Messrs Vanderbilt, White, Morgan, Garrison
and others, in Transit affairs, particularly Aces
