Wo have been unable TO obtain Official

Al date Of our latest letters from Wash

Of tie President to become law. The

the House was adopted by the House as a

COMPLIMENTARY. - Senator Sumner, Of
Massachusetts, evidently entertains but
poor opinion Of the Intelligence Of his con
stitueuts. He states in bis place in the
Senate at Washington, that the thousands
who have signed the Crttenden petition do
not understand what it meansl Really,
Mr. Sumner, since his return from Paris
and Rome, seems to have cultivated feel
ing Of contempt for bis countrymen; he
speaks Of the citizens Of the South as bar
barians; and of his own people in Massa-
chusetts, he declares that they do not know
what it is they are putting their names to,
when they sign petition for compro-
mise to preserve the Unionl
Mr. Sumner may be made to understand
that the want of intelligence is not on the
part Of the people-lhat it is himself who
does not know the real state Of the case,
and misapprehends the feeling Of his own
constituents. The tine has come for all
patriotic men to cut loose from political
leaders who say their party is Of more con-
sequence than fifty Unions. y Hartford

ENERGETIC MEASURES OF THE CONTsITU-
rIoNAL GOVERNMENT IN MExIoo-The firm
ness aud moderation with which President
Juarez and his advisers are proceeding in
the reorganization of the central govern
ment augur well for the future Of Mexico.
Whilst they are carefully avoiding all ap-
pearance of vindictiveness iu their measures,
they are striking at the root of all those
anarchcal influences which have hitherto
defeated the efforts of the liberals to carry
out the reforms necessary to restore peace
to their unhappy country. They be-
gun by expclling the Pope's Nuncio, the
Spanish and Guatemalan Ministers, the
Archbishop Of Mexico and five Of his dio-
ceans, who were the soul and centre of the
reactionary party The next step, we
trust, will be the confscation of the over
grown revenues of the church, with a view
to their appropriation to charitable and
educational purposes, after the clergy are
deceutly provided for 1t was the failure
Of energy in carrying out this programme
which caused the fall Of the Comonfort ad-
miuistration. The new government would
appear to be sensible of this from its pre-
liminary measures, and if it only has the
6rmness to persevere as it has begun, there
is hope that tranquility and prosperity arc
about to dawn upon a country which has
never yet, since it has fallen under the rule
of the Latin race, had fair chance of de-
veloping its resources. 1t is a sad re1ec-
tion that, whilst the Mexicans are consoli-
dating their government aud attaining that
unity which was alone wanting to their
welfare, we should be drifting back upon
the very evils from which they have had
such difficulty in emancipatiug themselves.

The President, Mr.. Lincoln, quotes Mr.

availed himself of these words of that pa
triot:

object of public gaze, and in quest of up-
plause, which, to be valuable, should be

dislocated Tho "sovereigns" here seem to
be very unmannerly. They behaved like

Guilty rescued from them-it was in fact q

Sometime ago, the Weekly Orcg0HiqHI
made a serious charge Of deialcaton against

it is that the license Of the press runs into

SR:-I have examined the papers in the
case Of the Donation claim of Lloyd Brooke,
received with your letter Of 22d July last
II appears from your report that Brooke
settled upon bis claim in August, 1855,
but left it in October following, on account
Of threatened Indian hostilities- being
warned Of bis danger by the Indian agent
that he did not return TO bis claim with
in four years from the date of settlement,
and consequently, has not complied with
the provisions Of law in relation to settle
ment and cultivation, bat rests his claim
upon the construction given TO that pro-
vision OF the donation acts, regarding con
tinuous settlement aud occupation, by this
Office, in Instructions of 29th April, 1856,
to the Register and Receiver at Olympia,
in which it is held that temporary abandon.
ment Of q settlement in consequence of H.
dian hostilities, will not work forfeiture
OF the claim, provided the settler resumes
his occupation, &c. as soon as practicable
The case now presented shows settle
menf, &c, for about two months, commenc-
ing in August, 1855, but no return to his
claim by Brooke, although it is shown by
the statement Of Col Wright, U. S. A.,
upon which he relies for proof, that the
latest period when dangers from Indians
was to be apprehended there, was in the
fall OF 1858, or possibly, in the spring of
1899, some six or nine months before the
expiration of the four years settlement
term.
In bis sworn statement, fled with the
X. and T., Mr.. Brooke gives, as his reason
for not returning to bis claim, that be be-
came engaged in business Of too much i'm
portanee to him to allow him to return be-
fore the expiration of the four years.
In view of the facts, VIC do not consider
the claim of Lloyd Brooke entitled to
approval, even under the liberal construc-
ton 10 favor of claimants above referred
to, and il is therefore rejected.
