Dispatches from Mr.. Dmitry state that he had
on his own responsibility, proposed to the Ncara-
| guam President mixed Commission to sit in w ash
ngton, to hear and determine all matters of claims
which have been, or which may be presented by
cltlzens OF either Government against those of the
| other. The President referred the proposition to
| the .Nicaraguan Senate for adyisement and re-
ceived the reply that the proposition GU ht to be
rejected, at least until Nicaragua had been prop
erly informed of the claims, and had failed to pay
such as we're just. Mr.. Dimitry complained of this
reference of his communication as irregular and
OF the answer as discourteous. As the Senate in
Nicaragua is an advisory body to the President,
our Government thinks this reference was regular.
Our reply seems to have been eminently appropri-
| ate. The Nicaraguan Senate ratified the contract
with the old Transit Company, but the other House
| declined acting until the Company had intimated
their acceptance of the contract as amended l.
President Martinez has, therefore, forwarded the
| contract to Senior Molina, who has | understand
notified the Company of the fact, and called on
them to signify their acceptance non acceptance
| Should they accept, then ample cash security will
be demanded for its faithful execution after which
it will be returned to Nicaragua for ratiication.-
Before Mr.. Seward left Washington, it was un-
derstood he would not resume his seat in the Sen
ate, Tor 1t nominated he intended resgnng; and if
| not, he proposed closing his Senatorial Career
| When his speech was delivered he indicated it
would be his last in the Senate. His friends still
entertain the hope, if this decision really made
that 1t may be reconsidered.-Fifteen witnesses

| Nothing further has been heard from Mr. Fowler
1t is said that Marshal Rynders would have ar
| rested him if be could. This, with many other ru-
| mors, may or may not be true. There seems to be
| an opinion prevailing that Fowler is a pa ssenger
on the steamer City of Washington, which left this
port for Southampton oday. A number of his
warm political and personal friends were on board,
and the supposition is that he has accompanied
| them. We learn that George Law intends to con-
test his legal liability surety for the defauting
Postmaster, and has sent an agent to Washington
to search privately for evidences of culpabe neg
gence or something worse, on the part Ct the Ad
ministration. VIM. G. III. Waddell, who has had
some experience in such matters, is said to be the
one who has undertaken the mission. From later
information it appears that Mr. Fowler's Staten Is
land purchases were not so recent as was stated
yesterday. The property referred to was purcha
sed five years ago, and but small portion of the
| money was paid down II has since been resold
under foreclosure, and that operation was one of
Fowler's many Improbable specuations -N Y

The property alluded to above cost Fowler
