port it agreed that It would be better to refer the
matter to special meeting, which will be called next
week.
Without intending to reflect upon the accuracy Of
the reporter, we are compelled to presume that it
was impossible for Mr.. Guthrie TO have said what is
reported. In connection with the question asked
him by Mr.. Ogden he is made to say that the prac-
tce under the present administration relative to the
liability to pay duty ON -four imported from the
British provinces made out of wheat the produce of
the United States s different from that OF the pre-
vious administration. In other words, that under
the construction given to the reciprocity treaty by
himself, with the aid of Gov Marcy, such -four was
decided be entitled to free entry Under Mr. Cobb
it has been decided that it is liable TO duty. In
order that may do justice to all parties, we quote
below the regulation made by Mr.. Guthrie himself,
when Secretary of the Treasury, which will be found
in page 5O4 in the volume entitled Regulations under
the Revenue Laws, and section Nv Negotiations and
Decisions under the Reciprocity Treaty:
The inquiry is frequently made of the department
whether articles manufactured in the British provinces of
materials the product Of the United States can be inn
ported Tree OF duty Articles 80 manufactured not be
ing imported in the same condition ms when exported
do not within the exemption from duty under the
tariff act of ls46, nor any other law treaty and must
be subjected to duty according to their classification in
tho tariff act of 1876
Upon this General Regulation Mr.. Guthsie acted
while he was at the head of the Treasury Depart
ment and we arc informed, upon inquiry, that no
flour imported from the British provinces, made out
of wheat the product of the United States was enter
ed free during the time he administered the Treas
ury Department. His successor, Governor Cobb,
agreeing with him in his construction of the treaty
and the law, as indicated by the Regulation above
quoted has carried out the same and required that
duty upon the article specified Shout. be levied.
Under this statement of facts we justified in sup
posing that Mr. Guthrie has been misunderstood or
Inexperienced iii the remarks lie hiads at The
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.

accuracy of calculation which caracterzes their opinions

will surely get the electoral votes Of Indiana Michigan,
Pennsy isania, and 'the whole South and they sur

Not only the black republican papers thoroughly in

will pursue, but they know TO nicely how the federal
Office holders in this city feel and with whom the Tam

positively that the aforesaid oice-hode flavor Douglas
with all their hearts,, and that Tammany is known to
be friendly to the senator from Illinois The resolutions
adopted by aoeamaton at the very last meeting of the

OUR SPANISH AMERICAN RELATIONS.


The state of the relations between our government
and those of nearly all the Spanish-Amcrican re-
publics is in a singularly uniform but at the same
time anomalous condition.
General IIerran has presented the ratified Cass-
IIerran treaty to the State Department. with the
notifications inserted by the Congress of New Gra-
NADIA There is nothing particularly Objectionable
in these, except the unirendly feeling which they
evince towards this country. No definite action
will be taken upon it by our government until the
approach of the session of Congress.
General .IarCZ, the minister from NIcara3ua-
has not been received because he could give no oli-
cial explanation of the singular course pursued by
his government in regard to the Cass-lrsarri trea-
ty, and the odious declaration appended to the Bel
ly contract.
A strong note of instructions has been sent to
General Lamar, which he is directed to read to the
Secretary of State at Managua. 1t is supposed that
the only way for Nicaragua to get out of her pend
ing troubles with this government is for President
Martinez to resign the Presidency, and for a new
President there to change the policy of that gov
ernment and give the necessary satisfaction.
With Mexico diplomatic relations are virtually
closed. Our Minister in that capital has been or,
dered to close the delegation and return home, ana
Senior Robles, the Mexican Minister here, has been
gone several weeks a temporary visit to his GOV
ernment vessel of war has been ordered to visit
the Pacific ports of Mexico and others will be kept
at hand to present themselves before the Cult ports
