From Washington.

Correspondence Of the Baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, February 23.-An article ap-
peared in the UHion Of Saturday on the subject
of the Dallas-Clarendon treaty, which appears
to reflect the opinions which have been express
ed in the Senate on that subject. The same
facts and views are represented by outside ru-
NOR as having been presented in the Senate.
The principles on which the treaty is based
are rspudiated, and therefore it is idle to pro-
pose any amendments to it at any time. The
treaty was within one vote, on Thursday last,
Of being postponed till next December, as /
already stated; and this fact shows that it has
not gained but lost friends in the Senate, be-
cause, upon a motion for indefinite postpone
ment, some weeks ago, the vote stood 10 for it
to 80 against it.
This treaty being rejected, the abrogation of
the Cla~yton-Bulwer treaty must follow, and
under such circumstances, peace will be ex-
posed to interruption. The Union, in accepting
the hazards of war, only repeats what is un-
derstood to have been the declaration of senti-
ments in the Senate.
Som Of the Northern papers greatly depre-
cate the appointment of General Cass as Secre-
tary of State at this critical juncture, for the
reason that his known or supposed hostility to
England, If it does not sway his own judgment,
will have the effect to put the British Govern
ment on its guard and render it less c~oncilia-
tory In its bearing towards this Government
than it has been. But upon this point it must
be remarked that Gen. Cass has often disclaim-
ed the bellicose propenEities which, in Jest or
in earnest, have often been imputed to him,
and that on the late discussion of the treaty in
the Senate be is reported to have taken special
care to put himself right on This subject, and
even to have declared the continuance Of peace
to be {" inevitable"
Gen. Walker wished to make a treaty with
the United States, and sent a minister here
with power to negotiate it, upon terms some
what similar to those proposed in the Dallas
Clarendon treaty, so far as Nicaragua is con-
cerned. The same terms would have been
acceptable to the British Government. But the
prospect is now that the British Government
and Gen. Walker will settle the question be-
tween them without reference to the United
States.
The deficiency appropriation bill has passed
the House, with the book appropriation of
Sl52,0O Whether the Senate will assent to
the provision is to be seen.
As but few days remain for legislation, it
is much apprehended that the subject of the
corruption investigation report will become an
obstacle to business. An attempt will be made
BY those who support the committee in their
report to bring the matter to a close under the
previous question. II this should not be sus-
tanned, the House will be at sea. ION.

oF MISSOURI.

The resignation Of Hon. TKUsTEN Polk Of
the GOvernorship Of Missouri, to accept Of 4
seat in the Senate Of the United States, to
which be has been elevated BY the Legislature
of that State, has devolved upon the people
the necessity of holding another election for
Governor. We learn from the St. Louis Leader
that the Democratic party have put in nomina-
ton Col. ROBERT N. STEWART, Of Buchanan
county. The Leader refers to the nominee in
the following language:
q" While be has ever been true to the faith Of
bis party and earnest in its dissemination he
has been so courteous and foTbearing toward
men Of all parties, that no man has fewer enc
mics among his political opponents. As these
same men have delighted in times past to give
him their support, % now they will come for
ward and vote for him for the Office Of Cover
nor. None bat violent and INSCRIPTIONS parti-
sans Will Oppose him, simply because he is q
Democrat.
Col. Stewart also possesses talents and ac-
quiTements that render him peculiarly qualified
to ill the gubernatorial chair Just at this time.
Originally Of a brilliant mind, be has cultivated
it BY applying himself to the study OF matters
Of practical interest to his fsllOw-citizens and
his country. He is a ready and able debater
on the stump, and we predict for him an effect
i've canvass against his opponent, whoever he
may be- On the question of improving the re-
sources Of the State by a judicious system Of
internal improvements, Col. Stewart is the pio-
nser. He has given to the subject his most
thoughts and his best thoughts. The friends
Of railroads will find in him an advocate, while
the friends Of State credit may rest assured
that he will not allow our noble State to be
brought into bankruptcy and reputation by
any wild and reckless legislation. In fine,
Robert NJ. Stewart is the man for the times,
and the man to lead the Democracy on to an
other brilliant victory, the end Of . succession
Of triumpbs that have crowned our Efforts with
in the past few months"

In SEARCH OF STATIoNERY.-The following
illustrates the manner in which the valuable
time Of clerks is often taken up. The cireum-
stance occurred in ReddiDg's, the patron being
an elderly lady, wearing a rich fur muf and
cape. and a fur-trimmed cloak:
LGdy-"I want to get a few waters"
Clerk" How many will you have marin ?
We have them in boxes, the smallest Of which
are six cents"
Lady-"0hI bless mel I seal a great deal,
but generally with something besides waters; /
only want a wafer occasionally; | don't think ]
could pay so much money; poor folks haven't
much money, you know; SO do put me up a few,
won't you ?"
The ever-obliging clerk went TO the farther
part OF the store, and taking a six cent box of
waters from the shelf, returned to where the
lady was standing, and carefully depositing e a
few" in an envelop, passed them to his Gus
toner, who blandly replied: How much shall
1 pay you?"
Cerk-"sAbout one penny, if you please"
The lady drew her purse, and abstracting
two quarters and a half dime, handed the last
named coin to the clerk, saying, There's fire
cents"
The clerk returned four whole cents to the
lady, who inquired; shave you any good writ
ing paper?n
Csrk-"We have, marm.v
quire.o
Gerk-"we don't sell it in less quantities
than half a ream.v
Lady" Oh rather on the wholesale plan,
then-ahl yes-I see.o
The penny customer then departed after hav-
ing detained the clerk some ten minutes.-BOs-
