Our Two CENTRAL AMERICAN TREATIES
Our advices FROM Nicaragua inform us that the
Cass- Yrisarri treaty has been again ratified by
the Assembly with notifications, and as mod
fed signed by President Martinez. Tits is
the third or fourth time that 1t has been
up for action before the Executive and Legis
lature of Nicaragua, with varying results The
question now is whether the notifications made
in the instrument are material in their cbarac-
ter, and whether the treaty, as 80 modified, will
prove acceptable to our government. The pro
liability is that the notifications are 80 material
as to render the treaty unacceptable to
the administration at Washington, and that
consequently it will never have any vitality
The treaty entered into with New Granada,
or the Grapsdisn Confederation, as it now pre-
fers to be styled, and which is known rs the
Cas- Herran treaty, seems to be in an equally
unpromisipg position. The two houses of the
Granadian Congress, which have to pass upon
it, have Hitherto been unable to agree as to its
terms The Assembly seems to approve of the
treaty and the Senate TO disapprove Of it, and
the two branches of the Legislature have been
keeping up shuttlecock game Of it. The
action of the British Minister. in recommending
the ratification of the treaty, has called forth the
apimadvevsion of the opposition press; go that
things generally look very unpromising, also, as
to that treaty.
Appearances are, therefore, that both the
Cas- Yrsarri and the Cass-Herran treaties will
fall abortively. The only shadow of hope for
them lies in the fact that we have just now
pretty strong naval force in the Gulf. This
force fijghtels both the Granadians and the
Nioarsguenses, and may have good effect in
regard to the treaties We think that if our
government had made some such menacing
demonstration at the commencement Of the
difficulties, there would have been at this time
no such trouble in settling them. We hope
that the lesson win not be lost on this and
future administrations.

TiTF'0R TAT.

In 1855 lac state Of Massachusetts, passed
a very foolish lax called "Tie personal lihrr-
is bll,"" the o.jeccv. which WIS - rynl:r
imperative wt,,n kar limits tAe fugitive
Slave, law enacted +. Congress in 1852.
There is now bill before our Legislature
the object OF which appears upoa is face
to be, to exclude from, Louisiana "al goois
wares and Mechanics of any anl every
kind, whatsoever manufactured in or expor-
ted from Massachusetts, by laying tax Of
fifty per cent or all sales Of such goods &c i.
within this State.
To Congress alone has the Constitution
given the power "to regulate commerce.. anil
this includes domestic commerce, among the
states as we'll as foreign commerce. Judge
Story in commenting on this grant says ::
The power to Congress, then, being exclu
sve, no state is at liberty to pass any laws
impo;.aga tax upon importers, importing
goods from foreign counties, Or from other
States. L is wholly immaterial, whether the
tax be laid on the goods imported or upon
the person of the importer. In each, it is a
restriction of the right Of commerce, net con-
coded to the states" The worls Of the bill
are "That all goods wares and merchandise
OF any and every kind whatsoever manufac-
tured in OF exported from the state of Mas
sachusctls, and sold in the state o: Louisiana :,
shall be taxed fifty per cent on such sales. :"
Here it is clear that the tax is laid upon
the goods. But suppose it to be on the Sales
This would be distinction without differ
ence. II there were difference however the
tax upon the sale would be equally liable to
the same objection, that lies to the tax upon
the goods. Judge Story under the same
head quoted from above, says: SaIeis the
object ofimportation and it is an essential
ingredient Of that intercourse of which impor-
tation constitutes part. As Congress has
the right to authorize importation, it must
have the right to authorize the importer to
sell. r.
at is no answer that the tax may be moder-
ate; for if tho power exists in the states, it
may be carried to any extent they may choose.
fit does not exist, every exercise, of it is
pro tanto "a violation ofthe power Of Con-
gress to regulate commerce"
Now, if a merchant of Louisiana, holds un-
der the authority Of Congress, the right to
import goods into Louisiana. from Massa-
chusetts, and also the right to sell them in
Louisiana, Of what effect could law Of
Louisiana, be, that should directly declare
that he should not sci, them within the state,
or, should indirectly declare, the same thing
by impos ne a tax Of fifty per cent, on the
sales of goods so imported, which would pre-
vent his selling them at all.
That the bill now pending in our Legisla
ture, t, impo e this fifty per cent tax on goods
sc. imported from Massachusetts,, would be,
if it ever passes, an unconstitutional act, we
imagine there can be no doubt.
We designed making few remarks on
The Oh arscter of this proceeding, but for
want of room must postpone them until our
next.

are informed that advices base been recciv-
ed at the Office of The Boston Etdiefnand
Submarine Company, from Captain Joseph
+. Couthoty, containing The company's
expedition to the Caritt;an Sea, dated brig
Wo,aigu&, of the .Sau Podgo, December 2,
1857, by which it appears that after about
three months preliminary operations in
blasting and clearing away rubbish, etc, the
divers had at leagth got fairly into the hold
of the San Pedro, and were beginning to
take TIP specie-severa hundred dollars hav-
ing been found DARN. the last few days.
Capt c. says: ''In my Judgment there is
tangible and weighty evidence that there is
a round sum in her, when the dollars are
found Qike all Of late) in rolls or parts of
rolls, in Jumps of SIS and $50, to 500 and
500 each. It is not likely that these are
merely few scattered ones; they must be
only the heralds of the main body in which
they belong"
1t will be remembered that the San Pedro
was flag ship Of a squadron of fifteen sails,
transports sent out by Spain in
1915, with an army Of 10000 men, to re-
conquer the rcvoled province of Venezuela,
and that she blew up in the Bay of Cuma
ma, and sunk in fifteen feet of water. 1t is
proved by official documents that she had
on board at the time Of the catastrophe So
100000, Of which 100000 were in gold.
OF this large sum, till now, only about $780,
600 have been recovered, which were obtain
ed by means of a diving bell, in the mud
and sand outside the ship. This is the first
successful attempt ever made to penetrate
the hull, where there is every reason to be-
Iieve that tho bulk of the specie will be
found. Boston Transcript.
