VANDERBILT VS.. BELLY.

1t seems that the Frenchman, NJ Belly, has
been outwitted by Yankee steamboat builder.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has made contract with the
Nicsraguan Government, by the terms of which
the Transit route is to be opened in ninety
days. He has paid down 100000 for the
privileges of the contract, the money has BEEN
received by the Nicarsguans, and they cannot
retreat. 4 correspondent Of The N. T. Tribune
writes:
"Messrs. D. B. Allen and W. r. G. Webster

June, taking with them $4,000 in money for

parties since he first entered public life, and
alluded in an able manner to the wide depart
ures which our GOVERN ,ent had taken, through
the agency and corrI ption of the socalled
Democratic party, from .he early administration
of the laws under the FIST Presidency. he had
endeavored, while in Congress, to adopt such q
course ss be believed Gould prove acceptable
to his constituents, forge was aware that the

Indeed, it was q well ki own fact, that the torch
of liberty ever burnec brightest among the

marks, the committee tanominate State officers
reported as follows.
