GEN WALKER AND THE ADMINISTRATIONS
Gen Walker, of flibuster notoriety, delivered a
speech in Mobile few weeks ago, in which he
undertook to implicate the Administration in
his unlawful enterprises. He says that previous
to his last departure for Central America, the
President received him by appointment and
thinks it very strange that the President should
receive "the lawless person which his message
describes" Ola Cabinet officer who sought an
interview with him, Walker says:
He desired to know explicitly whether L In
tended to pursue the enterprise, and, when l
answered affrmatively, he went on to give his
views in relation to the matter. He, Cabinet
adviser of the President, told me where to 60
and where not to go; where could go with
safety, and where could only go with danger.
He remarked in the course of the interview,
S.you will probably sail in an American vessel
and under an American flag. After you have
passed the American limits in an American yes
sci and upder an American flag, no one can touch
YOU but by consent OF this Government. You VIII
proceed in this American vessel to San Juan del
Norte, or to any other port in Nicaragua" But,
in anticipation of difficulties, it was distinctly sta,
ted what might expect from his governments nd
this not at my own instance. ! did not so faI
forget myself as to ask what the conduct OF his
government would be, but he industriously sta
ted that there would be American vessels at San
Juan del Norte, and there should be no more
British interference. That if we went there
with American flags flying over US, such inter
ference would naturally be at the risk OF war
with the United States.
ask you whether, under these circumstances,
| had not right to assume that the Government
of the United States not only sanctioned but ap-
proved of the enterprise nay, was anxious Tor
it9 Such, at least was the conclusion at winch
| arrived. ! could not infer that the Cabinet
officer would hold such conversation with me
unless with the knowledge and advice of the
President: and it was with this conviction that,
after having received what I considered most
positive assurances, came southwark and I'M
dertook to prepare the means for returning to
Nicaragua,

THE WEATHER AT THE SoUTH.-The Charles
ton Courier of the both says: "In illustration OF
the almost unprecedented temperature, We may
mention that we have the peach tree in bloom,
that the fig tree, although his branches are yet
TENDER 'putteth forth leaves that the sunfow-
err is springing up all over our garden, and that
we have stalk of Indian corn, yet thriving in
the open air, which pierced the earth before
Christmas"

erence of the Presidents Kansas message. The
parliamentary contest then commenced, and mo
tons to adjourn, &C., were made amid much
confusion and good hundred excitement. At
II o'clock, P NJ. the House was still in session.
SATURDAY.-The House continued in session
all night till o'clock this morning. The hours
of the night session were spent in struggle to
prevent the taking of the question on the mo.
ton of Mr.. Harris, Douglas Democrat, to refer
the Presidents Kansas Message to special Com
mittee of thirteen with authority to investigate
alleged frauds by which the adoption Of the Le-
compton Constitution was procured. Motions
for a call of the House, for the ayes and nays up
on variety of trivial questions, and similar par
llamentary tactics were resorted to by the Adj
ministIation party. In all these motions there
was decisive though varying majority against
the Administration. After o'clock the fight
between Messrs. Keitt and Grow occurred, of
which an account is published elsewhere in this
paper. From that time better order prevailed,
and finally at o'clock the House, on motion OF
Mr.. QuitmaD, adjourned to Monday without ia

United States, the reduction of the expenditures
of the Government, and the existing duties on
imports and the expediency of a gradual repeal
of all duties on imports, and resort exclusively
to internal taxation as proposed by Mr.. Boyce s

was allowed further time to amend his answer.
The consideration of the case Of Mr.. Campbell,

for an estimate of the expenditure OF extending
to them the benefit of the Revolutionary pension
laws. The resolution declining to give Mr..

stating that when subpGnaed he was under bonds
in New York and was advised by counsel that
