such IS the startling and indignant captiou WIN
which many Of our exchanges announce TO their
readers the ourages committed upon Capt Jefferson
and other Amercans, BY the Peruvian authorities.
Outrages upon oar citizens BY Spanish American sn
thorities have become matters Of such common occur
renee. that Il is almost surprising that they should
continue 10 excite even newspaper comment or indig
nation. The case Of Capt. Jefferson is by no means
an isolated one or Of more aggravated character
than many which have preceded il in the long cata
ogue Of outrages His vessel had been seized by the
crew and taken to Peru where her captain followed
for the purpose ofrecoverng his property he applied
to the Peruvian authorities for assistance in making
the recovery Instead Of assisting him they aided in
the plumber Of his vessel and insulted and abused
him il the most shameful manner He then applied
to the American Minister and the officers of American
menotwar, then lying in port for their inerposton
in bis behalf but they turned deaf ear to bis en-
treaties, being more anxious to get rid of bis mpor-
tunties than to redress his wrongs
There many almost identically similar cases on
record, but this is the latest s affords an ample
opportunity to expend vast amount Of pensnd ink
indignation and patriotism in behalf OF our insuted
flag, wounded honor and outraged countrymen, con
vncing the oyercredulous that newspaperdom Is ter
ribly patriotic, and all that, But here the matter
generally ends while our outraged and wronged
