NEW ORLEANS, April 16.-The steamer
George Seely arrived to-day from Blue
fields, Nicaragua, bringing news to April
18th. The Picdyune's correspondent
writes: son the evening of the 9th inst.
snail schooner arrived at Greytown,
bringing advices and several Nicaraguan
officials. Among those, to the great sur
prise of even Lecayo, was the Wilson
murderer, Norbut Arguello. AS soon as
it became known that this man was in
town the citizens began to congregate in
groups, where one could, with the click
OF pistol, have heard, Yes, the muir
derer is here As the Nicaraguans sus-
pected that the peculiar movements of the
Americans meant something, the assassin
Arguello was quickly placed under ar
rest, and has since been confined in the
provisional tombs.
In the mail brought by the same
schooner came telegram from United
States Minister Baker, dated the 1st, to
United States Consul Braid, informing
him that the Government of Nicaragua
had revoked his eXequatur and his Of
| ticial papers. The invaders and in
triguers were jubilant over this addi-
tional insult TO the flag of the United
States, and openly boasted that Lecayo
had downed Braid, and that the Amer
| leans must submit to the laws of Mica
ragua, and that Charles a. Lecayo should
never have permitted Robert Henry
| Clarence, Chief the Mosqutoans, to re-
sumo control of the municipal and ma
tional affairs of Bluefields and the Mos
quito Reservation.
1t rumored that the exequatur of
! United States Consul Bingham has also
been revoked. Owing to the Consurs ac-
ton while here, it is not believed the
| Nicaraguan officials would ever object to
| Mr.. Bingham, and up to this moment the
rumor lacks confirmation.

relieved III. NJ. Canada on the Sd inst
Captain A. G. Clark, her commander,
came ashore this morning, and, among
other things, while speaking of the actions
of the Nicaraguan officials, said: Gentle
men, if you could wish to know what
| Lecayo and his henchmen are likely to
do tomorrow, you just think of the most
idiotic officialisms possible, and that
would be about what they will perform.
Therefore, while the town is quiet this
evening, we do not know what the NOR
row may produce, and necessarily we are
constantly under arms, ready to prove
| that we are Americans.'O
CONGRESSMAN BRECKENRIDGE.
| His First Appearance In the House
Since the Trial Began.
| WASHINGTON, April 16.-Representa-
tive Breckenridge appeared on the floor
of the House of Representatives to-day
for the first time since the beginning of
the ard-Breckinridge trial. Personal
illusions were avoided and many ac-
quaintances shook hands cordially with
| the Colonel. The ordeal was evidently a
severe trial, as his face was flushed, but
he smiled continually. After occupying
his seat few minutes he left the cham
! Der. He will resume his Congressional
| duties at once.
| Representative Breckenridge and his
counsel were engaged this afternoon in
preparing their formal motion for a new
trial, which will be presented to Judge
| Bradley tomorrow. This motion is a
| mere formality in the way of an appeal to
| the District Court of Appeals, for no one
entertains the slightest idea that Judge
| Bradley will overrule the jury and grant
| the motion. The motion will be urged
on the general grounds that the verdict
was contrary to law and contrary to the
evidence and that the damages were ex-
| cessive. The counsel for the defense
will press for hearing on the motion at
! the earliest possible day, as Attorney
Stoll is anxious to return to Ketucky.
SHOULD RETIRE FROM PUBLIC LIFE.
! LOUISVILLE (Ky), April 16.-The Post
| (Dem.), commenting on the downfall of
! Colonel Breckenridge, says: at is not
story to which the people of Kentucky
can be in the least indifferent. His name
| has been an honored one in the annals of
kentucky. Men who have borne it in
every period of its history have borne it
proudly, and have rendered signal serv-
| ice to the State and to the people. With
| his confession still on his lips, with the
| plea of Colonel Thompson's, arousing in
dignart protest in the heart of every
! honest man, Colonel Breckenridge pro-
poses to return to Kentucky and ask the
| people of his district to return him to
| Congress. He owes some consideration to
the friends who have been true to him;
| to his district which has honored him; to
| the party which has needed and called to
! him. The one service he can now render
| to all these, the one reeompense it is in his
power to offer, is to accept the verdict of
! the Washington jury as a verdict of eter-
nal Punishment from the public service.
and act accordingly. He should retire
| now leave the Democrats of the Ashland
district free to choose a representative
who will bring new and better influence
| into politics. They should go to some
man of worth and character in private
station, whose career has exhibited those
virtues and devotions on which Anglo
| Saxon civilization rests, and send him to
! Washington as Kentucky's reply to the
accusations brought against her own
son."
