New Line of Steamships on the Nicara-
qua Route.

Under the auspices of Mr.. c. K. Garrison
and others, new line of Ocean Steamships is
to be placed on the Atlantic and Pacific, to
ply between New York and San Francisco, via
Nicaragua. The line viii commence running
on the 5th of next month, March on which
day the Orizaba is advertised to leave San
Francisco. She will be followed, two weeks
later by the Sierra Nerdda Both these yes
sells are reputed staunch and excellent sea
ships and those on the Atlantic are equal to
the best class steamers on the Pacific.
Some Improvements are necessary 10 De
made ON the land transit in Nicaragua, owing
to the late convulsions which have shaken
that country pending which time, the steam
ers will sail to Panama on this side and con-
meet with the Atlantic steamers at Asplnwal.
This opposition will doubtless cause reduc-
ton in the price of tickets. and consequently
tend to swell the tide of immigration to Cali
fornia, in the spring.

Political Tone of the Eastern Press.

From careful perusal of the leading
Journals in the East, received by the last
mail, we collect the following facts rela-
ting to the two absorbing topics of nation
al politics:
Forney's Press staunchly supports ev-
cry measure Of the administration save
its views on the Lecompton Constitution
1t is particularly severe on Gen. Walker
and fllibustcring. The Herald, with all
New York papers of democratic proclivi-
ties enunciate similar opinions. The
Tribune is exultant over the defeat of the
" "Lecompton Swindle," by the people of
Kansas at the polls, and though opposing
Mr.. Buchanan on general principles, is
delighted with the disposition he has made
of little Grey-eye. The leading demo-
cratic papers in the interior of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
throughout the West, second Senator
Douglas, on the " Bobby" and the Pres
ident on the Chilly. Walker issue.
In the South, the N. o. Delta and the
Richmond South have fastened their fin
gers in the Presidents wool They de-
claim most fercely against what they are
pleased to term "the late violation of the
Law of Nations" (meaning the arrest of
Gen. Walker on Nicaraguan territory, J
and insist that the Government should
comply with the modest demands of the
indignant little General President, and
return him to the bailiwick whence he
was captured, and pay all damages be-
Sides The Delta, which re-echoes the
opinions of Senators Toombs, Quitman,
Davis, and all that ilk of Southern NAL
contents-(the restless brood of Mr..
Calhoun's hatching,) thinks that in pass
ing over the matter, without severe pun
ishment being visited upon Commodore
Paulding, the President has "betrayed
the South" and gently hints that Secre-
tary Cass should spell his name without
the C,-that Toucey is vulgar frac-
ton, and that Cobb, Brown and Thomp-
son make up very small cabinet of
worthless curiosities. Added to all this,
and as if we must be indebted to Paris
for our politics as. we'll as our bonnets and
founces, the Paris Constitutional pitch
es into the Border Rufians, Fillibusters,
and the fierce Democracy with zeal
Frenchy to an extreme.

that; yet the voice of the vast majority
upheld i5, and deprecated any interfe-
renee whatever, and this every intelligent
member of the legislature knows full
well. Hence, we believe that wisdom
and sound craftsmanship dictates gene
raj amnesty, and forgetfulness of the past,
as the proper mode of treatment The
proud, firm, Tudor queen, would not have
thus dared to run counter to the will Of
her subjects, so generally and so firmly
made known
No one ever disputed the strict legality
of the "stamp tax which the British
Parliament imposed upon the colonies
1t was only on its polity that English
statesmen differed. Pitt, who was pru-
dent, ambitious and far-sighted, and felt
the nations pulse, most skillfully declared
that though legal, it was impolitic, and
the great heart of the nation reprobated
it; but Grenville, who scorned the people
and stuck, leech-like, to "prerogative, I"
piloted the obnoxious measure through,
and furnished the people another oppor-
tunity of asserting their sovereignty.
1t might be innocent enough to pass
this "Act" into law. 1t would look
well enough on the books, if that
clause, so obnoxious to our jurisprudence,
which drags an indicted person from his
own vicinage, or place where the crime
was alleged to have been committed into
another county for trial, were erased. =
But, in our opinion it would be a dead
letter, and result in nothing but an ephem-
eral triumph on the part of its author
1t is in vain that laws are passed unless
they can command, in the last resort, the
physical power necessary to maintain
them and make them effectual.

EE The Washington correspondent Of

R The Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore Methodist Protestant, clo-
ses an interesting communication to that
paper, with the following remarks, which
by the way, are not very creditable TO the
Representatives of the American people
and their associates at Washington:
The session of Congress is drawing to
close, the 7th of June having been fixed
as the day Of adjournment. The slran-
gers now at Washington will soon begin
10 depart, some to their homes, Others to
the fashionable places of resort during the
summer months. The loss which the
city suffers by an adjournment of the Ma
tional Legislature, and the consequen,
departure Of the host of its followers, may
be calculated in dollars and cents /; but
the moral benefit cannot be SO easily
computed. l! will carry away from the
district some Of tie most powerful agents
of the Evil one, that have ever hoveret
around the metropolis.

Fiendish Murder.

The Sandusky Register of The 2OIh,
is furnished with the following account
Of murder perpetrated in Townsend
The account says:
1t seems that one James James, cou-
zin of Isaac June, barbured an old grudge
against the latter, and having prepared
himself for revenge by constructing an i'll
fernal machine with powder and some
other material, and armed himself with a
revolver and o knife, called at Juhe's
house Tuesday morning at an early hour.
saying as he came in, "June, I'm in time
TO take breakfast with you" He was
invited to do so, and sat down TO the table
as coolly as if on friendly visit. After
the meal was done, and Juue's workman
had left, he rose and licked the door,
putting the key in his pocket, aud draw
ing his revolver, said, "June, 1 haze
come here to commit murder, and am
going to do it," As he said this he drew
his revolver, presented and snapped it but
i. missed fire. June then seized him,
and tremendous scuffle ensued between
June, aided by his wife, and the miscre,
ant; the latter by this time cutting right
and left with a sharp knife. Mrs. j.,
perceivipg that her husband was being
cut piece meal, quit her hold burst thro'
pannel of the door, and shouted "mur-
der" On the arrival Of the neightors
aroused by her cries, it was found that
the murderer had succeeded in disem-
bowelling June, and had only failed in
completing his diabolical purpose by his
knife breaking off at the handle. James
was secured, and on his examination be-
fore Justice confessed his purpose freely,
and said, che only wanted June to die,
and then he would die happy" express
sing no conirition whatever. He is now
in Jail ia Fremont, awaiting his trial.
June has since died.

No Surrender.

Our Kansas exchanges come to US la

Of the English Dodge. We have yet
heard no voice raised in its favor. Allu.
ding TO some Expressed fears that the
people of that territory might succumb

" Some Of our friends in the East seem
fearful lest we accept the land bribe oI

sure them the proposition will hardly gel

people of Kansas believe that they ''mus

a Hull surrender in this Territory as yet
In its issue Of the 9th Of May, the
same paper says:

characteristic Of the Free State party, we
should drop all thought Of existing State
governments go like one man, into tht

Contested Electlon case pecided.

A few days ago, the long contested
election case, between CAMPBELL and
VAIAsDIeHAM, from the Sd Congressional
District of Ohio, was decided in favor Of
the latter, BY a majority Of 4 votes.-
Campbell was sworn out, and VallandIe-
ham was sworn in. We understand that
Mr.. G. has announced himself as a candi.
date for reelection. He has made pop
ular and efficient Representative, but our
private opinion is, that he has been in
Congress long enough, for the present,
and that with all his personal popularity,
if he should succeed 10 the nomination he
will be defeated. The falling-ofr of thou
sands from the time OF his election four
years ago, when he ran for the second
term, to about lie vote when two years
ago, he aspired to third election, ought
to admonlsh him Of his danger. 1t is
painful for party, when in the ascenden-
cy, to be under the necessity of taking
the political head off faithful Represent
alive; but our doctrine is, that, when a
man becomes SO greedy for place, power,
profit or honor, that he is no longer sat-
isfed with the long established rules of
the party, and still continues 10 thrust
himself forward, he ought 10 be rebuked
at the final election. And we are quite
mistaken if this is not found to be the
view of large majority in all political
parties.
Caucus meetings are usually controlled
by a few leading spirits, and it often hap.
pens that the great blunders these men
make are not fully known until about IL
o'clock at night on the I'd Tuesday of
October. The candidate who has the
inside track-the ofiice-especially if it
be profitable one, which enables him to
scatter the root of all evil with liberal
hand, has the decided advantage over outsi-
ders in those caucus meetings; but where
this game is played, the tables are gener-
ally turned at the final election.

pMr. JOHN SHERMAN, M. c., from

this session, very conspicuously. He is
one of The most active and useful of the
Northwestern members. Among the
notable things he has recently done,
has been an attack upon the Administra-
tion on the grounds of prOfigacy. The
Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Times says of this effort:
The speech of Sherman, of Ohio, to.
day. inaugurated new policy of the Op-
position, to fight the Administration on
general ground of lavish expenditures
and bad management Of national affairs,
bringing these topics on the foreground
instead Of Slavery. The array of facts
and figures was apalling, and showed that
the expenses Of the Government this year
would not fall short of eigh,y.five millions
exclusive of River and Harbor Improve
ments, Fortifcations, and Utah War
The speech attracted great attention on
both sides.
