should be lead to infer that there were
any covert threats when Trescott asked
whether the arrest Of Caldsron was in
tended as an insult to the United States
The President will also suggest that the
Monroe doctrine does not, in his view,
extend TO the prevention of commercial
undertakings, which are the work OF
private citizens. When, however, the
European government enters tho Amer
lean continent for the purpose of SUD
planting republican institutions, then it
will be time enough to talk about the
Monroe doctrine. He will not say any
thing about the Inter Oceanic schemes,
except to indicate his opposition to any
scheme which will involve the name or
good faith of the United States. He
does not believe De Lesseps could be
driven from the Isthmus BY an armed
force. He will express no hostility to
the energetic Frenchman's plans, al
though he may suggest that it would be
a good thing for the United States, If
De Lesseps' plan was met and by an
other controlled entirely by American
capital. The President believes that
tho ClaytOn-Bulwer treaty, which gives
England, with ourselves, q Joint control
over any Inter- Oceanic canal that NAV
be built across the continent Of Amer
lea, should be modified, but he doubts
whether such modification can be Sc
cured by building with the British gov
ernment. If the nominations should
fail this government could give the noe
essary six months notice and terminate
the prOtectorate. He, however, does
think that the canal across Central
America should be jointly protected by
the United States and the country
through which it passes. He does think
that the treaty can, in way, affect the
Panama route, and that, in fact, it
could only affect route which will
never be adopted, that across Nicaragua
under the grant of l849; also, that the
United States il at liberty to offer it's
sole prOtectOrate to any canal that may
be built.

The star.Route Jurors, Etc.
1t is stated by one who has authority
that evidence has been discovered
against the colored juror Brown, which.
il substantiated, would undoubtedly
consign him to the penitentiary. The
screws are being frightened against Fore
man Dickson, and the result of his
forthcoming trial would not be satis-
factory, as defendants boasted Brown
would have to answer charges of per-
jury and bribery, and in the latter case
the clew is now being followed which
would undoubtedly show corruption
with agents of the defendants. Star
route people say Brady and Dorsey Will
both take the stand in the new Il ial
next week. and make some certain dis
closures about certain politicians.
Gorham's friends say Riddleberger
and Malone are SO pledged that they
will rsctify Republican Senators il they
don't make Gorham their candidate for
secretary of the Senate. After March
4th they need not depend upon the votes
of the two read djusters to retain them in
control of the Senate. General Brady

Status or the Railroad War.
New YoRK, Nov. 2S.-The exact status
of the railroad war il hard to discover.
Vice President Wadsworth, Of the st.
Paul road, says Porter has kicked
against the whole fair proposal of Keep,
Of the Northwestern. ..If there is war
now let il continue, will do nothing
further" Keep says he went into the
thing, not because the Northwestern
was the greatest sufferer, but to secure
harmony. He proposed good plan
and Pofter's action did not need discus
sion. He would not further concern
himself for peace. He, with Hu0hitt,
would start for Chicago tonight, al
though the project is feasible to war, il
is believed It will not influence the mar
ket much.
