change in Gen. Zuloaga's cabinet
~ s.ho..I. hevn canfnred Tusnan


The liberals have captured Tuspan.
We learn that General Jerez, the
new Minister from Nicaragua, has got
90 clear view Of the mud in which
the Transit question is involved in this
city, that he is about to depart fJr
Washington, in hopes Of finding clear
er waters there. Ia Washington, how
ever, several interesting little questions
await him. The government would
like to know what Gen. Jerez's pnnci
pals mean by the impudent declaration
that this country officially protects the
fitting out OF the fillbustcrs! What
they meant by ASSURING General Lamar
that the Cass- Yrisarri treaty had been
ratified, and asking him to recomlneh ]
the bearer of it to the American naval
commander ut San Juan, when such
was not the case? Who violated the
correspondence Of our Minister IN Nc
aragua What the twisting and turn
ing about the treaty means We hope
Gen. Jar-z can explain these little
points, for if he does not he will prob
ably not find the diplomatic waters
much clearer than those of the Transit
ronte negotiations.
1t appears to be now pretty well I'M
derstvod that the ChevalieI " cbb Is
to run as an independent candldete for
Congress in the Westminster district.
After the shameful treatment which
he received from Lawrence, Stone d
Co, in that free wool business, We
think his claims for Congress deserve a
favorable consideration by the gener-
Gus people Of Westminster district.
The creditors of Lawrence, Stone d
Co., it appears, have instituted a suit
against their lobby financier (Wolcott)
for the recovery, if possible, of that
mysterious free wool lobby fund OF
$4,000. Very good. We hope the
prosecution will bc pushed into the
merits OF the case, for thereby We shall
doubtless get at a good many interest
ing facts which were beyond the reach
of the Congressional Committee
Push the investigation for we suspect
that there may be more than one new
lobby qlrd buried away in that " free
wool" fund of $4,000. Should i,
turn out that the money is all III the
bank of Gardner, Wolcott d. Co, SC
much the better tor the creditors Of
Lawrence, Stone d Co.
The black republican and Know
Nothing journals OF New York seem tc
have great sympathy for Branch ano
his attacks on Peter Cooper d Co. Die
they secretly edge the alligator on il
revenge for Mayor Ticman giving nc
spoils to their clques, who supported
the Peter Cooper dynasty at the las
Mayors election
