MORE OF THE NICARAGUA IMBRoGLIo-
FnI1BUsTER WALKER.-The Eastern pa
pcrs are filed with notices of dispatches
and gossip from Washington, and Specula-
tons on Fillibuster Walkers movements,
the supposed plans of our Cabinet and of
the English government, &c 1t is very
hard to arrive at any clear idea Of what all
this fuss is about. A telegraphic dispatch
from Washington dated 10th November,
says:
Joseph l.. White has had repeated in
tertiews with Gen Walker, his only object
being, he says, TO ascertain whether Gen.
W. designed, should he be restored to pow
eT in Nicaragua, 10 interfere with the char
tered right of the Atlantic aud Pacific Ship
Canal Company. Gen. w. has given him
the assurance that in such an event he
would respect those rights or any other
American interests. Mr. White to-day
sent note to the Assistant Secretary Of
State, with the request that il be shown to
Mr.. Cass, denying that any Walker fill
busters went to Nicaragua in the steamer
Washington, and saying-that the Company
will not knowingly permit such persons tOI
go thither in their vessels.
MISCELLANEOUS PoLITIcAI NEws.-Vari-
Gus dispatches from Washington Of date
18th November, say:
The numerous assertions and specnlations
in the newspapers about changes to be
recommended in the tariff in Secretary
Cobb's forthcoming report have no fouuda-
ton. All the reports from heads Of bu-
reaus are not yet in and the Secretary
himself has como to no decision, and there
has, therefore, been no action in Cabinet
council on the subject The present in
come from revenue shows a healthy condi-
ton aud growth Of commerce. Taking
certain average Of days from October and
November Of the last three years, and con
sidering the extravagant and flush time Of
year before last, and the extraordinary de-
preston last year, and the present year
shows about a medium income between the
two former periods. 1t is considered GER
tain, however, that there will be no neees-
sity for another loan.
1t is believed at Washington that Doug
las election to the SenGte is not secured
An article ia that rampant Douglas pa
per, tue Press, expresses doubt by saying
the Administration may buy up some Of the
Legislature.
1t is stated upon credible authority that
Mr.. Douglas has written to one Of his
friends in Washington expressing his desire
for the union Of all Democrats upon the
basis Of the Ciucinatti Platform, the Com
promises Of 1850 and the Dred Scott de-
cision
More than usual caution is observed
with the view to prevent the premature
discovery of the contents of the forthcom-
ing executive reports, and especially the
Presidents Message.
The rumors, says an Albany dispatch of
date 9th November, that have been eircu-
lated respecting Erastus Corning and the
Secretaryship Of the Treasury are unfound
cd. Mr.. Corning is understood to have
been called to Washington in consequence
of the desire Of the President to consult
him in relation to the iron interests, ia con-
temptation of q revision Of the tariff, and
also in relation to the plan for the con
struction Of the Pacific Railroad, both Of
which movements it is supposed are to be
promptly initiated by the Administration.
The New York Times has come out for
Senator Douglas for President in lS6O.-
The Courier and Enquirer is out for Sc
ward. The Herald advocates the re-nomi-
nation of Buchanan, and advises the oppo-
sition to unite upon Geu Scott The Post
favors the claims of Gov Chase, or some
Western man. The New York Tribune
is nOn-committal Wenlworth's Chicago
paper suggests Lincoln for President or
/ Vice President.
