A dispatch from Capt. Simpson, the
commander of the steamer Omaha, at
Panama, says that he did not request
the American Consul, at Aspinwall,
to prevent the landing of the five hum
dred rifles purchased. On the contra
ry, he sent the Consul the following
dispatch: Consider whether it will be
a proper act for you. The arms are
not allowed to be diverted from their
original use or destination. If that
cannot be prevented, then consider II
you have power to prevent their being
landed, subject to instructions from
Washington subsequently.
The Consul at Aspinwall had no
right to interfere with the landing Of
arms and that ends the question.
Gen. Spinner has accepted the Re-
publican nomination for State Comp

Fighting for the Spells.
A CONTEST BETWEEN THE POSTMASTER GENERAL
AND THE POLITICIANS.

WASHINGTON, March ia contest is going
on over the postmastership at Macon, Ga. Ii
seems that some time ago Mr.. Belcher was
sent from Augusta, Ga, to be postmaster at
Macon, as a representative colored man. In
the opinion Of the department and many OF
the patrons of the Macon office he was not a
good postmaster, and the Postmaster General
removed him and appointed Mr.. Henry S.
Glover, who lives twenty or thirty miles from
Macon. Parties are now trying to induce the
Senate not to confirm Glover, because he
does not live within the delivery, and for
other reasons.
One of the reasons given for the retention
of Belcher is that he Is colored man. There
is no prospect Of his retention but it may be
that unless the Republicans of Macon rally
to the support of Mr.. Glover, the President
may be compelled to withdraw his name and
substitute therefor that of some of the other
candidates, among whom are McBUrney and
Bond, the latter of whom was turned out
without cause to give Belcher the place, on
account OF his being colored man.
The same questions are likely to come up
with regard to other officers in the South.
There seems to be two parties in this fight,
and the Postmaster General desires to get the
best officers. He is opposed in some places
by persons claiming TO be Republicans, be-
cause, as they aver, individuals who be thinks
would make the best officers are not always
the best Republicans. These gentlemen keep
away from the Postma Ster- General and are
apparently trying to induce the President to
listen to their political claims.

Our Relations with Spain.

1t is ascertained at the proper official source
that the United States have not made treaty
with Spain, as has of late been frequently as
serted; but have entered into a convention
with that government, which stipulates for
the payment of eighty thousand dollars to
our government in satisfaction OF indemnity
claims on account of the NirglnluS affair, and
the surrender of any claims of Spain against
the United States, thus closing that question
This convention signed BY the representa-
tives of each country. is complete without the
ratification of the Senate of the United States.
A copy is already in the possession OF the
Department of State. The formal signing of
the convention was part Of the arrangement
connected with the recognition OF the new
Spanish government by our own. Senior
Mantilla will soon present new credentials to
the President as the representative Of the
new Spanish government he heretofore hav-
ing represented the Republic Of Spain after
the withdrawal of Admiral Polo. He will
also have an opportunity to present the au-
tograph letter Of King Alfonso, addressed to
the President, informing him OF his accession
to the throne of Spain.
