Tho' Oldest Man.
- A correspondent of the St. Louis RopuMiom,
writing from Klwoi>d. K. T., says : “ One who Uvcs
on his oiaim near the edge of this city is, perhaps,
the, oldest man in America., He is Mr. Jamos
O’Toole. Ho was horn th , the county of Donegal,
in the north of Ireland, somewhorh aboiit the year
1730. Ho wos an old man in the frijiH'rebellion m
1798, when; becoming implioaUdwlih Lord Jfiti
gorald, he Bed his country, to soek froedom in'oqr
then young Republlqf viius life hsuhaan checkered
with many changes.’ He has beon-'tossed about
among various soono'9,ind4by maay diverse oir
oamstanoos. Ho moTb(!;Vto'’Bt. Louis thirty years
ago, and established thofirat brewery there.; He
moved to tho Flatto Purcheroin 1838, and lived in 1
Buchanan county, near 'Bloomington, until two
yoars ago, when ho came to/;Kansas and made a
pre-emption, and he enn now- walk eight on ten
miles with ease, to visit his friends or attend to his

THE ELECTIONS.
Kentucky* —The Louisville Courier gives
all the senatorial districts with the following
result:
Arnerican members holding over, 18; Ame
rican, members elected in 1857, 7—total 20.
Democratic’members holding over, 6s Demo
cratic members elected in 1857, 18. American
majority, 1.
, ft will, thus ho seen that the Americans have
it minority 'of one in the Seriate. Some of those
.members, however, who hold over, represent
'districts which- are now largely Democratic,
and may feel disposed to obey the will of their
constituents.
The House of Representatives will, from the
evidepijesbofore us, stjind about as follows:
Democrats and Old-lino Whigs, 69 j Ameri
cans, 41; which will give a Democratic ma
jority of 1? on 'joint ballot —abundantly large
forull purposes. ' , _' " ,’ '
" Tho AmericaOs ' elect several of'their sena
tors arid representatives barely by the skin of
their teeth. '
The seats of several of the American mem
bers enumerated in the above list, wo under
stand, “will be contested.'
Texsessee.—We copy'the following from
the Nashvillo Union of the 9th instant. “ For
Ccmgreis. —Tliero Is no doubt of the election
of the six democrats claimed in our paper of
yesterday morning; and if tho Democratic
counties in the first and second districts liavo
donohalfns woll as the Know-Nothing counties,
wo have carried both those districts. Messrs.
Zolllcoffer and Ready are tho only Kuow-Notli
ings who aro certainly elected to Congress.”
The Nashville Banner, (American,) of the
same date, says: “ Tliero are numerous un
authehtic rumors afloat, more or less true, we
doubt not, but unsatisfactory. The rumors
from Upper East Tennessee indicate a general
hilling'off of our vote and largo gains for our
opponents. When the unpleasant certainty that
we aro. in a minority in tho gubernatorial, con
gressional, and legislative departments is
forced upon our minds, we have little inclina
tion for compiling the details, and most of our
readers,-wo apprehend, have' ns little for ex
amining; them. This: task will prove more
grateful and inspiriting to our opponents thin
ftm<f,>nd we leave the field to thorn.” ,

[Prom the San Francisco Herald, July 20.}
' By ft telegraphic despatch in another column, it
will bo seen.that the Hon. John B. Weller has been
nominated, on tho first ballot, for the office .of
Governor, by the Democratic State Convention
now in session at Sacramento. That he is the al
most unanimous choice of the Democracy of the
State Is fully‘established by the vote which' he re
ceived, and that be is eminently qualified to dis
charge,with honor to himself and benefit to the
Ke, the duties of tiie high offlae for which he
eon nominated, even his political opponents
will readily conceded The offioe of Governor of tho
Stato of California pan.ftdd no additional lustre to
the n&me of John B. Weller. His name is connected,
not only with tfie history of this State, but of the
United SUtek. It does not require the nomination
for the ,Governorship of. this State' to bring bis
name before the people. He is known, and his
Sreatiervicfts are acknowledged from one end of
loHiate to the other, and hiaeleetion to the guber
natorial ohelr cannot r he regarded ea so much an
elevation of tho man as of the office under his ad
ministration; and wo speak of it with etery confi
dence, for the nomination we, regard .as• almost
equivalent to election. Wo may expect a digni-.
Bod. strong, wise, and economical government. We
cordially endorse the action of the Democratic Con
vention, and will labor heart and band for the sue

forward by that body.

The Costa Bican confidence was re-established,
and affairs had assumed a healthy aspect: 9 i
A oonrier arrived at Sad Jooe oa the 23d of July,
bringing the news teat the right of . .wgy ores the
Nicaragua Transit Route had been granted toR. C.
Webster and J. C. Harris, aon-isdaw' of -Charles
Morgan. Nicaragua, it is said, is w party* and
gave her consent to the contract.. -The -only infor
mation we have been able to obtain on the subject
is containedin the following letter cF-tbeborres-
S indent of the New York Herald; dated S*a,Jose,
ostaßica, July 23th: .
Since my last communication the final veto has
been put upon the straggle for tee: rigfcthf- way
over the Isthmus of Nicaragua, by our
Siring the grant to his old ally, Hr. R.C.W ebstor,
and his former hitter opponent, Mr! j t (/.Harris,
son-in-law of Charles Morgan.. 1 have raadd dili
gent inquiries as to the reason why our goyern
ment admitted Hr'. Harris 1 name in tee heir grant,
and have ascertained the following facte: - ■
The grant of. right of way over the-Isthmus
which Charles Morgan A Sons < had bough 6, from.
President Evans, contained the odndibon that
Morgan A Sons most carry tee forces of ih4 repub
lic and any emigrants amounting to 1Q,090 bytheir
steamers, receiving in pay a certain'amount of
land. When Costa Rica declared war against
Nicaragua, she declared hostilities only against
filibusters, not against the patriotic, party in
her sister State. Consequently,' in conformity
with the laws of nations, Costa Rfea had
no claim by conquest to that whiter ahe had
Sained by. the force of arms. Morgan, Garrison A
o.j having acted up to the tenor of their grant,
given by Rivas, held a fair claim toteerigbt of
way over the Isthmus, and our President, taking
this view of the case, readily agreed to the plan of
amalgamation proposed by Messrs. -Webster A
Harris, and gave these two gentiemeaAha-eentrol
of the Transit. Mr. Anderson, who returned to
Costa Rica as the agent of Messrs. M. O, Roberts

oasS. M. Spencer, is net endowed with-sufficient
shrewdness to play the part of& good Negotiator.
The fight has been a severe and hard contested one,
1 some of the aspirants denouncing their; com
petitors in the most unqualified language..
The conditions of the charter are not- generally
known, bus it is said to be far more liberal .than the
one.formeriy given to Mr. Webster. - Nicaragua
has given in her adhesion to the contract/ The
Nicaraguan Senate assembled at Harare:v%arly in
the present monte, and tfc<Trawfity and
other questions met at once with a .satisfactory
solution, the Senate agreeing'to the “treaty” pro
posed by. President ifora: : The

an‘end to all possible rupture between ThVtwo Re
publics; each‘State is to participate cqbally in
the dues and profits derivabto

interviews with our President, and the-pobtie is in
formed that Ida mission is of tee most-satisfactory
and cordial character. Out Government .has sent
on (in compliment to Mr. C. Jones’s visit) to-Wash-
