ANECDOfE OF GEN. LAMAR.

BLooM-BURG, PA, April 10, 1850.
Ids. COLUMBIAN:
The recent discussion OF Count Ferdinand
de Les-ep'- interoceanic canal project recalls
TO my mind an anccdote of Gen. Mirtbeau
b. Lamar, the Texan patriot, which you
may deem worth printing. | may here re-
mark that Gen. Lamar was one Of the Tex
an leaders when that State declared its indie
pendcuce Of Mexico. He was Attorney
General Of the Republic, Secretary of War,
the first Vice President, second President.
and took a prominent part in the Mexican
war, lie was also the author of volume
OF poems.
Ia the summer of 1859, while returning
home from Panama, made his acquaiul-
auce, and that Of his secretary. lie never
tired of relating anecdotes about the early
struggles Of The Lone STAR State. lie was
very partial to "fIlisbur" Walker rchemes,
and his Secretary had served under that man
OF manifest destiny"
But to tue point The French and Eng
lisA, it would seem, with Monsieur Belly AT
their head, by some chcanery, got the con-
tract from Costa Kica and Nicaragua to build
an intsroceanie ship canal A. Gen, Lamar
wa. an ardent believer in the Monroe doe.
trine, be became intensely indignant At
the time peak Of he was L. :. Minister
10 those Countries The Prince lie Polignac
WAS secretary to Monsieur Belly, and Sir
William Gore Ou,ley was the British En-
Wy. The Prince, in making his first call to
Sir William, was Unsolicited by 4 native,
who supposed he wished to see Gen. Lamar.
Arriving at the L, 5. Legation, the secre
tary introduced himself as tue Prince Of
Ioh-uac. Not understanding French, the
General got the name as prince of Coguac'
Astbe Prince commenced talEing in French
Lamar got impatient, and angrily demand
ed, q" Who are you'' The smiles end smirks
disappeared from the Frenchmau's face, and
seeing that he had made a mistake, he COM
meuled beating ha.ty retreat. The rate
General then commanded him to stop, but
fearing to do so, "Cognac broke into a run,
followed by Lamar who, finding he could not
catch the fugitive, commenced stoning him,
This only increased the latter's speed, and
he finally reached his hotel, midst the jeer,
Of the crowd, CARLOS.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington, pc, April 2Oth. 1850.

There was an animated debate in the Sem
a'e Yesterday over the Geneva award bill.
OF the four propositions for the disposal of
the ten millions remaining of this award,
Mr, Thurman is the champion of one, Mr..
Blaine of another and Mr.. Eaton OF another.
The fourth, to return the money to Great
Briiain-has not taken the form OF bill as
yet. The wonderful readiness of Mr.. Blaine,
and his large and accurate knowledge of
affairs, were strikngly shown in yesterdays
debate. In many respects he showed him
self the superior Of Mr., Carpenter, while
in some the Wisconsin Senator was more
than a match for him. If Senators-or peo-
Pile gene -ally--coud believe for II moment
that there was decent degree of sincerity
in tie man from Maine, he would have II
great deal more influence than he now pos
.esses. The contrast between his present
rather friendless condition in the Senate and
the almost despotic power he welded in the
House four years ago, is something to won
der at. But then he was not a presidential
candidate, and now all are jealous, are down
on him. because he is
The Grant movement, it is plain, has not
all the force which its originatols claimed for
it, The friends Of Mr.. Blaine, uniting with
other enemies of the General and opponents
If a third term, believe that there is II strong
nope Of preventing Grants nomina-
ton on the first ballot. But the above is the
ak only of his enemies, and they will per.
naps be cured ot that may say-delusion.
Meantime, there is n comfort for Democrats
IN the policy of ant,-Grant men, Tor every
argument against a nomin nation is stronger
still gtinst an election. Who shall be put
in nomination against Grant? II be is nom.
lnated-it istot likely we shall know so long
before the Convention as in the case of the
Republicans, hut there is no harm in ex-
pressing preferences.
An unsuccessful attempt was made yester
lay to suspend the rules and pass the bill
pensionng soldiers Of the Mexican War
1t is a singular fact that so much oppsition
to this bill comes from Maine. A year ago
Mr.. Powers and this year Mr.. Frye helped
to prevent Its passage. Yet if | am not mis-
taken, the citizens of Maine profted more
by boudless march of her citizens into
Aro stock county in 1899 than the whole
cost would be of pensioning these Mexican
veterans.
The House yesterday passed the Senate
dill giving government recognition to the
prOppsp1 celehration AT New York in 1889
liter the treaty Of peace between the United
states and Great Britain.

No use of Denying IT,

1t is Of no use for the Republican party
to deny that they are in favor of an empire.
Their disavowa would be entitled to no
credit. The recent history of this party
shows that its leaders are ready to a,ow any
political faith in the pursuit OF office.
-Four years ago they passed resolutions of
unalterabc opposition to third term. Now
they are Just as unalterabIy in favor of
third term.
Reasoning from analogy, the stronger they
now profess to be opposed to an empire the
more strongly may we expect to see them
advocate the establishment of an empire
four years hence.
The Republican party was good enough
war party; but as Il peace party it has de-
sccnded to the lowest political depths.
1t is party which has 50 ialsifed its own
words as to be utterly unworthy of further
trust.-N y Sun
