The CROwD-The avalanche Of doctors from
a distance now upon us-some six hundred we
hear, in all-make lively times around the va
riOus Washington hotels. Take them all in
all, they are a body of great intelligence. We
doubt whether there ever assembled elsewhere
so many gentlemen. IN such an errand, SO
highly cultivated and accomplished. Willards'
hotel appears to be their head quarters. Hun
dreds OF them put up there, and the balance
appear to congregate in its spacious and agree
able halls, which they use for the nonce as q
sort of professional exchange

The NICARAGUA TREATY. Editor of the
Star: See the Walker Filibuster organ OF yester-
day,for the following disin.eres.ed and refresh
e words:
",
honorably opened and the leg itima e treaty rati-
fed and sustained; but, we do not believe the
President or the country will sustain the iniqui-
tous rider"
Surely, ''the President or the country must
f. e. most grateful To the flibuster organ for its
SO dIStHtereStsd advice, for the benefit of either
and both; the more especially as the said organ
IL the pretentious monopoly of all the knowl-
edge on Central American affairs, to be obtained
by either 'the President or the country"
Bat, note, meanwhile the ridiculous incon-
sistencY, absurdity, and folly of the organ afore
said.
Ii has uniformly held the Cass- Irisarri treaty
t" be capitally good for ''th- President or the
country but, the people in Niraragua were too
tickle aud feeble to he relied ON for its ratifica
ti0n; that event was hopeless; the wishes and
views OF THAT organ being father to the thought"
Now, however, that the ratification has snuffed
ont It's light as prophet and priest in Central
American Affairs IL discovers That the ''StebbinS-
ilsdftl contrdrt' Is 4 ''vampiTe rider" and that
even the treaty itself is OF no especial ad vantage
After repeatedly advising, lecturing and coax
ing 1.-The President, the organ devOtes much OF
its time and space 10 abuse Of the "yampire ri
der lowering its tone, day bv day, as to the
worth OF the treaty itself, until it Is now on the
eve of opposing that achievement Of 'sthe Presi-
dent's' diplomacy. While its editorial, OF yes
teTdaV, still feebly auds this act Of 1.-The Presi-
dent II soon discloses its disparagement Of his
diplomacy therein See the learned suggestion
that 1.-The treaty IS over-rstimated, in the SHppo-
sutton that any positive protection is granted to
citizens in person and property, other or more
than has been stipulated in most Of our Spanish
Amer ican treaties.'
Assuredly ''the President or the country or
both, is becoming much indebted to the Ill bus
ter organ for the exclusive learning. profound
search, and disinterested advice with which it
patronizes them
The senate, too, must feel grateful for the same
gratnitons patronage Of advice and light and
knowledge.
