WALKER AND HIS CITIZENSHIP IN MICA
pAlNA


The Washington Union contains the official cor.
respondence received at the State Department from
the Nicaragusn minister and transmitted to the
House on the llth inst, by the President As much
has been said about Walkers right Of citizenship in
that country and the propriety of hs going to Mica
ragus to claim his rights as citizen and an officer,
We give an extract on that subject from one of Mr.
Yrisarrfs letters to Mr. Case. He says;
"Walker never was, nor can he ever be, President
OF Nicaragua or citizen Of that republic, from the
time that Be was declared to be traitor to it nor
can any men that may be led by him. or any one
else In his name fail to be received and treated in
sny other manner than thar due 10 bandits and p,.
rates by whaterer name they may be known, or from
whatever quarter they may come This 10 a fact
which grows out of authentic documents from the
true eEscutrs o,eer, national, aud not Joretgn, Of
N,oaragua and to this should the ciaens of the
United States rvet their attention. 30 that they may
not venture to follow the private banner OF The sd
ventursr of Sonora and of Nicaragua.
"It ID of worldwide notorety that walker was not
elected President of Nicaragua, save by foreign
solderywhich backed him in the usurpaii3n OF the su-
prems power which could not be vested and won
derful repeat it, is the impudencs OF the man who
pretends to vindcate right, that which oears no
other character than that Of the worst imaglnable
outrage"

to Commodore Paulding for the capture OF Walker

VIRGINIA SCRIP CLAIMS.

We have heretofore alluded 10 the claims Of those
descendants and heirs of the patriots Of the Virginia
continental army and navy who have not yet receiv.
cd endorsement for the services of their snces
tors. This is question which involves very
materially the honor Of several of the most distn
guiShed precedent Executives Of Virginia. to cay no.
thing of the interests Of the claimants for whom they
have vonnhsd. II we have rightly apprehsndod Tho
law promising payment to those who are really the
nheritors Of the compensation solsmnly promised by
the Federal Government to the men Of the o,d con.
tnen,al army and navy, it was most egregously mis-
interpreted by the head Of the department 10 which
it properly belonged undsr the administration Of Mr.
Pierce. And va most heartily hope that the dec-
.ions Of such able statesman and pure patriots as
Tazswell, Giles, and the older and younger Floyd,
will no longer be set aside, and ihst the government
will make amends for the past in this matter, by a
prompt attendance to the just claims of the heirs of
the heroes of the old continental army and navy Of
VIRGINIA.
