From Washiu

WASHINGTON. Jan 3O.-Mr. Molina, the
minister from Costa Rica, has been officially
advised of the negotiation OF the late treaty
between that government and Nicaragua
As il settles to n certain extent the business
tor which Mr. Escalante was specially DIS
patched to Washington, be will soon return
10 Costa Rica.
A private letter from high func,ionary Of
Nicaragua, received in Washington, states
that the feeling now existing between the Nj
caraguans aud Costa Ricans is OF the most
friendly character.
The sum of 5000 900 in treasury notes was,
to-day. paid to the mail contractors.
The government employees are being paid
their monthly salaries to-day, principally III
800 treasury notes, and a small amount oil
specie.
Official advices from the Pacific coast show
that the Indian tribes, though peaceaDle, have
been much excited by rumprs which have
reached them of the destruction OF the gov
eminent stores, and it was feared that there
is a disposition on their part to break out IN
open hostilities.
The committee on foreign affairs of the
House are engaged in the preparation OF a
report on Central American affairs, which,
it is said will support generally the views
of the President

The case Of the Commonwealth ". the

OF Norfolk county, Tor some -, ,U"O, tor
taxes &c, collected by bin for the year 1896,
came Oh 20 be tired on the 9th inst, IN the Cir
cult Court OF the city of Richmond, Judge
Meredith presiding, add after an argument
of several days, was finally decided last week
in favor of the securities. Judge Meredith,
a. We have been informed, was OF opinion
that Drury had no right u collect the taxes
Of that year. because hIs Constitutional term
Of nfice expired on the 3Oth Ui June, aud
that he could not hold over under the acr ot
18th Of March, 1886, because he did not give
u new b1nd "a that ACT rrqulr"G; nor could he
hold over under the clause OF the Consultation
which provides that Judges and ell other
officers, whett er elected or appointed, Should
continue u discharge the duties OF their
Offices after the expiration "t their terms,
until their success Ors shOuId be qualified,
because Thomas b. Butt, the successor oi
D.ury, was duly elected in May, 1856, and
qualified N the Dist of June, IN that year,
and before the expiration Ot the term OF the
said Drufv. And, although the books If the
Commissioners nf the Revenue were placed
in the hands OF Dfury about the middle Il
June and while be was still in Office, yet he
was not required by law TO commerce the
Collection OF tie taxes, e., before tue 1t o!
July, when his term OF Otice had expired; and
not having begun the collection while III Of
fee, he could not, after his term expired,
rightfnlIy collect the raxes.
\ number Of cases are now depeniing in
the Circuit and County Courts Ot Norfolk
county, against Drury and his securities, and
II is presumed that similar decisions to those
Of Judge Meredith will be made in all OF
them.
The Attorney for the Commonwealth has
moved the case to the Court Of Appeals.

In our last issue, We advocated the RID
dance Of the State OF free negroes. We III
vito the atteutiun OF our reaftrs to another
pest which has beer injecting rur society u
an alarming extent, since all offices have be
come elective by the pcople-tbc Dcmagogue.
No legislative enactment, na judicial decision
can be of any avail III cNpcIIns this class o:
Our population; for, with all his miserable
disregard OF the c0urtesics II lite, his braZca
front and disgusting impufencc, the dcma-
gogue belongs to the white race. Public
opinion aud public action can alone seal the
doom which be deserves. Every walk OF
liie almost every official station, l. reprcsei
ted by these unworthy men. Their spirit
il perceived in the service OF processes,
in the indictments Of commonwealth, IN
the decision of Judges and III the rartIng Ut
legislators \ specimen Of the tribe can be
found everywhere. IEis earmlrks are un-
mi,takahIp. The friendly embrace, the
gently laying Of the arm around the shou.-
dcrs Of the dear people, his confidential man
ner. his earnest soiicilude ~ regard To your
own health, your wife and your children, All
are characteristic Of the Gema-Ogue. Ii l.
high time that these gentlemen are looked
after. The councils OF our country now, It
at any time, require the services OF state
men and men OF honor. The petty othces IN
the gilt of the people should all be filled by
persons possessed Of integrity and virtue
We cannot expect full Justice will be done to
ali men under all circumstances, when the
ufice-holder himself is forever Danderlng 70
the passions and appe!ites OF the people
Popular favor, net popular right, IS the ulji-
mate object Of hi1 desires-tGe goal OF lis
ambition. How much treasure, how much
Injustice might be saved 70 our people, By the
election of sound, solid m'n, Instead Of the
ware. wire-working aud designing, TO posi-
,ions of public trust. That proper respect
which every community ought to have Tor IL
self should nj once, it strikes us, indicate T.
all men the glaring improPrtty they are
guilty of, when they elevate INSCRIPTIONS
effroutery and boldncss over modest uh"6lru-
sIye merit-the electiOneering hack, with a
word Of commentator for al, a knee for
the children, and the highest regard for all
the dear people, in exclusion Of him who
disdaius t. engage In the low UicHerleS
which would obtain votes upon any other
ground than capacity aud virtue. We DO
more than that. We pay Preminm 10 the
shape Of tie rmG!umeuts vi Once TO tnat
which is most despicaO!e and unworthy IN
! our nature.
Let US then, so far as in US we have the
power, call halt to the progressive march
of demagogueism. In place OF permitting
appea Is 10 our affections, cur passions, and
appettes, let Us suffer only rational induce
ments to have any control on our actions
and our votes. BY this means we may
eventually diminish, at least, the power and
the number of those who have no ether end
! in view than their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT; to
cousummate which, public virtue, prosperity
and honor would all be offered up sacrifice.

The Baltimore American says, that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has
seriously considered the propriety OF re-
duciug their rates Of transport for Coal, to
meet, as far as possible, the necessities OF the
times. A special committee OF the Directors
was appointed at late meeting to inVest-
gate this subject and report thereon at the az
preaching February session of the Board 1t
is said that that committee has determined TO
recommend an absolute general reduction OF
twenty-five cents per ton from all points
This, we understand, is conteDded by the
coal interest to be insufficient to secure a
large trade, or to prove adequate to success

ern markets 1t is further reported that the
Railroad committee, naturally anxious to III,

to recommend reduction Of fifty cents per

ALEXANDRIA,:
TUESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 2, 1855.

Several Democratic presses OF the South
have lately not hesitated to indulge in the
most gloomy antici pations as to the conrnu-
ance Of the Union of the states; and some OF
them 60 80 far as to assert, it is liked
fact" that there must be n separation, and
that the whole course Of the government Is
lea ding directly to such a result. Now, we
believe, all of the journals to which we refer,
and whose remarks have attracted our at
tention, urged the election of MIR. Buchanan,
upon the ground that his success would GER
tainly sare the Union, and that the election
of any body else would as certainly effect
what they now say, even with their hoPe's
realize in the success Of Mr.. Buchanan, IS
inevitable. For ourselves We do not believe
that the union Of these states ought to depend
upon the election OF any man as President,
if he be chosen according to the Constitution.
But the case before Us shows, how extreme
sectional politicians must often violate their
consistency, aud place themselves in opposi-
ton to their recorded opinions. There WAS
much of wrong doing at the last Presidential
election, in this very matter, and many parts
of the country were deceived in some of the
issues presented connected with the Presi-
entail election. 1t was but the other day,
that Mr.. Hickman, Of Pennsylvania, friend
of the Presidents, declared in the House OF
Representatives, that the Kansas Nebraska
bill was alone acceptable in Pennsylvania,
because they were told that under it, Kansas
would certainly be free state. Now, iu
portions of the South, 1t ia undeniabIe, that
it was strenuously contended that under the
same bill Kansas might and probably would,
be slave state. The President thus suffers
from the arts and designs of sectional part
ga ps, and cannot have justice done him, on
their account.
