THE CAss- HERRAN TREATY AND THE MISSION
TO New GRANADA.--The Senate has ratified the
Cass.Herran treaty, but with an amendment that
will cause it to 90 again before the New Grana.
dian Congress for another discussion and ratifca-
ION by that body. The treaty provides for the
ADJUDICATION by mixed commission, and pay
ment by New Granada, of all claims of our
citizens against that government shat have
been resented before the date of this convention
to the State Department at Washington or to the
United States Minister at Bogota;" which clause
the Senate amends with provision to the effect
that those who have not already presented their
claims may do so before New Granada shall take
final action on the subject
We publish in another column the list Of
claimants, and from the fact that those present
ing claims for damages by the Panama riot num-
Der one hundred and sixty-one, it is hardly to be
supposed that many more can be presented.
There may be some, however, of the poorer
class, who, in view of the little success that has
hitherto attended claims laid before our govern.
ment, have RETAINED from claiming what they
are justly entitled to; and these should have
the opportunity which the Senate has pro-
vided for them to claim their rights II
is not to be supposed that this reservation
will be prostituted to enable parties to get
up manufactured claims; and if any should
undertake to do this, the mixed commission that
is to adjudicate upon all will be safeguard to the
interests of New Granada and prevent her being
despolled Some of the larger claims presented
are evidently for constructive damages, as, for in
stance, those of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany the Panama Railroad Company, and M. o.
Roberts, for the New York and Aspinwall line
of steamers. These three claims alone amount to
nearly four hundred thousand dollars, and great
ly overshadow all the others.
In view Of the fact that this treaty has again to
60 before the New Granadian Congress, the
qualifications of the Minister to be sent to
Bogota becomes an important matter. The
treaty was first sent to New Granada, and
battled its way through the Congress there
without the support Of any American Minis
ter; and it was only through the great
exertions of President Ospina that it was got
through in shorn state, after long discussion
and violent opposition. 1t now goes back to
meet the same trial. and if it is not supported by
Minister who thoroughly understands the Ian
guage, character and habits of thought of the
Spanish races, it is not impossible that it may be
rejected. 1t is stated that ex-senator Jones has
declined the mission; if this be so we trust that
Mr.. Buchanan, in reilling the appointment, will
select some man capable of filling the exigencies
of the post, without regard to political con.

THE METROPOLITAN POLICE COMMISSIONERS
DonerSo. The recent exposures Of the corruption
and misconduct of the Metropolitan Police force
seem to have given spasmodic alacrity to the
Police Commissioners. They have dismissed
and otherwise punished some half dozen men,
bers of the force for intoxication and other
breaches of duty; but it is remarkable that
although grave charges of corruption and i'm.
morality were clearly proved against many Off
GERS, not one Of these has been discharged. 1t is
only few men who drank liquor while on duty,
and committed suudry other petty offences, who
are made to suffer. Do the Commissioners mean
to ignore the fact that corruption, bribery
and wilful extravaganza of the grossest cha
racter, exist in the force? A singular fact
was developed at the trial of officers Racket
and Mills, the other day, charged with robbing
two Vermont merchants. 1t appeared that not
one of the captains or commissioners knew
whether it was against the law for a po-
liceman to search prisoners in bar.
room instead of taking them to the station
house. 1t was Captain Leonard, of the old force,
who informed them that the act was clearly ille-
gal and improper.
There can be no doubt that this sudden display
of activity at the eleventh hour is intended to
raise little smoke to cover the fire, and per-
haps also to stave off, if possible, the repeal of
the Metropolitan Police law, which this outraged
community justly demands from the Legisla-
ture-a demand which that body should accede to;
if there remains particle of decency at ALBANY.
After the infamous revelations of the Senate
committee, the further continuance of such sys-
tenn is wrong too gross and insuferable to be
imposed upon any people. This lodging of the
Police Commissioners comes too late, and they
neither deserve nor will they receive any credit
for it. Nothing short of return to the old mu-
nicipal police system, with the Mayor as the sole
responsible head of the police force, will answer
the requirements Of this CITY, The new Police
bill now before the Legislature is a mere patch
work, and will not serve the purpose at all.

HE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGNING. GOGGN AND
MR.. LETCHER Born IN THE FIEID-We pub
lished yesterday, from special correspon-
dent, brief report of Mr.. Letcher's open
ing speech at Woodstock, as the democratic
Candidate for Governor of Virginia; and to-day
we give, from the Richmond Wing, an account
of the opening speech and enthusiastic reception
at Richmond of Mr.. Goggin, the opposition can
didate; we also give this morning in tele-
graphic despatch, the points of the proceedings
ct the meeting at Harrisburg yesterday of these
two competitors for political favor.
Excepting the great mistake made by Mr..
Goggin, in his Richmond speech, in assailing
the administration of Mr. Buchanan, his plan
of operations, indicated in this speech, has been
well considered. But before attacking the ad-
ministrati0n, Mr.. Goggin should at beast have
waited for the definite explanation which Mr.
Letcher made yesterday upon the important
question whether he intends to abandon the ad-
ministration or cut loose from Governor Wise
Indeed we think that as the Southern leaders of
the democratic party, from Wise and Hunter in
Virginia, oil the way down to New Orleans, ap-
pear to have cast themselves off from the admin
istratiOn in their manGuvres for the Charleston
Convention, the opposition party of the South
might turn the tables upon all these faithless
party managers, by carefully discriminating be-
tween the administration, which they have vain
ly attempted to break down, and the democratic
party. which they have pretty efiectually bro
ken up.
So far as this Virginia campaign is concerned,
while all the disorder and alarm are on the side
Of the dismantled democracy, all the enthusiasm
and harmony of the combat are on the side of the
opposition. Thus, for instance, at the Richmond
meeting, the turnout to welcome Mr.. Goggin, it
appears was sort of jubilee, full of that spon-
taneous enthusiasm which is always instinctively
drawn to the popular candidate and the popular
cause.
But as this important State campaign has
been fairly opened on both sides, we shall soon
know in detail the exact position of both par
ties before the people. Governor Wise in 1856
walked over the course without finding cham
pion to meet him but now his successor, as the
democratic candidate, it appears has caught
Tartar from whom he cannot escape The whole
order of the battle has changed, and the opposi-
ton hold the strong positions of the field. They
may thus achieve grand political and moral
victory in May, which will be the Inauguration
of general and wholesome political revolution
against the niger. worshipping republicans of
the North and the nigger-drivng democracy of
the South.
