the matter But have one thing 70 say, and that
IT, that win soon be before higher Judge, who

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union replies to an attack Of an eve
ming paper upon the President in connection
with Clayton-Bulwer Treaty Without quot
ing any language used, it says that the Prcsi-
dent never changed his policy in regard to the
Clsyton-Bulwer Treaty; that as to Sir VIM.
Gore Ouseley, all that has ever been said as to
his interference with this question, Is wholly
unfounded and is the offspring Of morbid sus-
picion and that although Lord Napier did at
one time during the negotiation suggest the
abrogati6n Of the treaty, he gave notice that
the British Government would insist on retain
ing the Bay Islands, the most important part
of their possessions in that region, and that
this proposition was Of course rejected. The
Union says the truth is, that when the time
shall arrive for communicating to the public
the correspondence in relation to the Clayton
Bulwer Treaty, they will be astonished, even
in the age of Misrepresentation, at the false
hoods which have been circulated in regard to
this whole subject
The Union, in view of the last news from
Central America, republishes the special mes
sage of the President communicated to Congress
on the 18th Of February last, suggesting that
its Importance is now about to become undeni-
able, &c.
The IHteAtgencer reviews at some length the
Booth fugitive slave case in Wisconsin, and
speaks of it rs - the resolutions of '9S bearing
fresh fruit" The Inteiiigencer recognizes the
supremacy of the United States Supreme Court
in the settlement of controversies arising under
the Constitution and laws of the Federal Gov

The Posr OF SUPERINTENDENT OF THE PUB-
Lie PRINrISG.-As the present Superintendent
of the Public Printing will yacate that position,
on formally taking charge of the Union news
paper on the 18th inst, the public knowledge
OF the fact has doubtless already induced q
host of applications fer the post, from various
quarters of the country. A dozen gentlemen,
each anxious to secure it for himself, accompa-
MED each by perhaps dozen friends designing
to electioneer for him, may not long hence be
expected to reach Washington. When here,
their presence on Pennsylvania avenue and in
the Washington hotels, will again remind all

nation. .#s-

nifty, will be glad to learn that definite ar
rangements have been made to accord to the
U. s. District Attorney acceptable and efficient
professional aid in the trial of Dan'I 4. Sickles
for killing Philip Barton Key. So it is now
certain that the cause Of justice in this case
will not be endangered from the physical in
ability Of any one legal gentleman to contend,
perhaps for nine hours daily for a week or
two, against host of lawyers, many of them
of ability equal to his own, each relieving the
other as his power of endurance may flag.
