The CAss-H ERRAN TREArY.-In another co
lumn we publish an extract from the govern

an opposition journal relative to the probable
fate Of the Cas- Hcrrau treaty in the Consti.

Thc opposition paper says that the Senate will
certainly adhere to their notifications, in which
case the treaty will be virtually defeated for
the United States government can never accept
them. The government organ, on the contrary,
predicts. and IL is probably correct, that the
Senate will ultimately recede from its position

THE NEws From SAN DOMINGO The last
news from San Domingo IS important. Daez
has capitulated 10 Santana and retired from the
country. The appearance Of the American
frieate Colorado, Commodore Mcintosh in COM
mand, on the oath Of May, brought his unsafe
condition to crisis, and be at once surrender
cd. This event strikes a severe blow at
European intrigues in that Island. Baez was
but the instrument Of certain European inte-
rests The favorable light 10 which the United
States was regarded by the Santana party was
cause of much jealousy, and with the assist.
ance Of Spanish influence, through the medium
of segovia, the return Of Baez was brought
about since which time the island has been in
a state Of war. Immediately on the capitula-
ton Of Baez, Gen. Santana sent to Commodore
Mcintosh kindly messages, promising to extend
tvery favor and protection 70 the jaIer,ss ol

MONSIEUR BELLY AND THE TRANSIT ROUTE
The news from Central America by the Noses
Taylor leaves the object and results of Monsieur
Belly's mission as much in mystery as ever.
After intriguing with the leading men of Mica
ragua and Costa RIGA he returned TO Aspinwall
and sailed TO Havana-it is said by some on his
way to New York to hold conference with
Commodore Vanderbilt as to uniting their inte-
rests in the Transit route, and by others IL is
declared that he is returning direct to Europe
What he has succeeded In doing with regard to
q grant for the interoceanic canal or railroad
no one seems to know. As TO the New York
Commodores, all their participation In the bust.
ness is complete mystifcstion. They are
always incorporating each other and calling
hard names. On the one hand II Is claimed
that Vanderbilt has secured the grant for the
Transit and on the other that White, Stebbins
a. Co. have got IL in their breeches pocket. One
thing, however, is apparent-that the whole
question of the Transit Is as much 10 fog as
ever, and we advise every one who may be
invited 10 invest money in any of the schemes

THE News FROM MExIco.-The advices from
Mexico which we published yesterday would
seem 10 indicate that the fall of the Zuloaga
government was imminent. In view Of the con-
dition Of the contending parties in that repub-
lie, 1t would seem that such an event must de-
pend in great degree upon the result of the
military operations at San Luis Potosi. The
forces of the reactionists had been concentrated
there under General Osollos, to the number Of
5000 or 5000 men, and were to operate against
the forces from Monterey, amounting to about
5000 men. under Zuazua and Zayas. II Osol-
los is defeated, the Zuloaga government will
probably fall at once; but II not, it may hold
on several months yet

JUDGE RUSSELL AND THE AFFAIR OF THE AGA
DENY OF MUsIc.-A motion was made and argued
before the Recorder in the Court of Sessions, on
Saturday last, to quash the indictments found
by the late Grand Jury against Judge Russell,
other officers of that court, and Mr.. Bernard
Ullman, the manager of the Opera house, for
their prompt and praiseworthy action in expel-
ling and causing the arrest of two persons who
went to the Academy of Music, short time
ago, avowedly for the purpose of creating a
disturbance. The grounds on which the motion
was based were: first, that Judge Russell acted
in his magisterial capacity and as a CONSERVATION
Of the peace, and that, consequently, no action
could lie by indictment even it, as was not the
case here, he had exceeded his jurisdic-
ton; that q manager of q theatre has q
perfect right to exclude whom he chooses
from his house, and that the parties who tried
to force their way In on this occasion were
acting Illegally; and finally, that there was
such an improper tampering with the last
Grand Jury as vitiated their action in this mat
ter. The motion was ably argued on these and
other grounds-the argument occupying the
Court from noon till six o'clock in the after
noen. We present to-day heightened report
of the argument on both sides, which, on &C
count of the novelty and Importance of the case,
well deserves careful perusal.
Judging from the observations of the Re-
corder in the course Of the argument, there can
be very little difference Of opinion as to which
side of the case the law and the facts arc in
favor Of We hope and expect to see, when the
motion shall be decided, that that decision will
convince the law breakers of this community
that they can no longer hope to continue their
reign here; and we believe that it will also add
new laurels to the brow Of the most efficient
and independent criminal Judge this city has
been ever blessed with.

AN EXAMPLE 70 BE FoILowED-On Saturday
last, at Washington, D. c., the convict and
murderer Powers was duly executed according
to the sentence of the law. Every exertion had
been made to induce the President to commute
his sentence. The mother of the culprit had
literally besieged the President, thrown herself
at his knees, and with all mothers energy
begged the life of her son. Persons of humane
character, though weak instincts, had repeatedly
solicited the like favor, and had brought con.
siderable influence to bear. Mr.. Buchanan
withstood all appeals, replying to one inter-
cessor who drew his attention to the youth of
the prisoner, "Sir, nearly all the murders and
crimes ofviolence 90 frequent of late years have
been committed by such young mem" and the
murderer was duly hanged.
Here is an example which State Governors
should read, mark, learn and inwardly digest.
Here is lesson by which they should profit.
No one can doubt but it was very painful
duty for Mr.. Buchanan to refuse to grant the
prayer of broken hearted mother; but he had
duty to perform to his fellow citizens and he
performed it manfully. He proved that he was
worthy of the station he holds and that he had
the nerve to do his duty, at whatever cost to
his feelings.
Had our State Governors shown the nerve
and frmness of Mr.. Buchanan this would
be quite q different country to live in,
and the criminal records of our large cities
very different affairs. In such cities as this
criminals are perfectly aware that the chances
of capital punishment are infinitely slender,
and that imprisonment for term of years is
merely nominal They know that even If the
courts do convict them-a very rare occurrence
now days-a weak Governor will not be able
to resist the appeals of some weeping female re-
lation, or the petition of faint hearted philan-
thropists. They know that crime will not bring
its own punishment, and they therefore indulge
in it, in obedience to their evil passions.
If New York and some other States could
enjoy the blessings of such Governor as James
Buchanan for few years, there would be a
wonderful diminution in crimes and violence.
If State Governors could only be got to under
stand the truth which Mr.. Buchanan so tersely
expressed in his reply to the argument about
Powers youth, people would hear less about
sudden murders, rowdy fights and the other
disgraceful scenes which I'LL the daily chronicle.
The example is now set. simultaneously
with the execution of Powers we hear of two
convicts being executed in Montreal, Canada; a
city where no execution had taken place for
twenty years, and where impunity for crime
had produced the same results as are witnessed
here and everywhere else. Let us now see
what State Governor will have the courage and
wisdom to follow suit.

MUNICIPAL REFORM-Six months have yet to
elapse before the people will be called on to
elect officers for this State and county. Within
that period much may be done towards securing
choice of ct and proper persons to fill all the
ofaces-men who may be not only faithful to the
trust reposed in them, but competent to perform
their duties The sad experience of the last few
years convinces US that the parties holding
Office under the Corporation according to the
present system are wholly unit for their posi-
tons One grand scheme Of population has
characterized the management of every depart
ment and bureau of the city government, which
has advanced to such degree that the owners
ofproperty have been ground down by onerous
taxation until they have at length cried out
with one voice against the intolerable grievance.
Yet the property owners are to great extent
responsible for the evil. They, in spirit of
heedlessness or sel6shness, devoted all their
energies to their own private interests and left
the affairs of the city to be attended to by set
of rowdies, vagabonds and petty politicians,
who nominated and elected to Offices Of trust
their own tools They got the treasury into
their hands; and between the incompetency OF
some of the heads of departments, and the dis
honesty of Others the taxpayers have been
robbed of millions.
However, it is never too late to mend. All
this infamous business may, and we hope will,
be remedied by the movement in which the tax
payers are now engaged towards the formation
of an independent party, which will take care
that good ticket is elected next November.
All mere party questions, all outside issues, all
partisan lkings and prejudices, must give way
to the one grand subject of reforming our city
government, turning all the rogues and rascals
out of Office, and putting good, honest, taxpay-
ing citizens in their place. 1t is neither Lee
compton, nor Utah, nor the right of search we
have to deal with in the next election but the
vital question, how we are to put stop to steal
ing the public money and reduce the taxes.
That is the true issue, and we must stand by it.
