BAD FOR THE WHISKY BING. v The sentence pronounced, yesterday, by Jake Cadwalader, upon George. Mountjoy, of the Whisky Ring, is a terrible blow to that Ihrmidable organization. Mountjoy, like his old French namesake, is reputed to have been a sort of King-at-arms among the banded con spirators against the revenue laws. He belongs to that select circle of our Democratic wire pullers who wear purple and fine linen, and fare sumptuously every day; looking sleek and oomely on Chestnut street ; of polite demeanor and smooth address. This inner circle is very select, its members not numbering a dozen in all; but it has - been a very active and dangerous body, and would be more so, if it could enjoy the Democratic privilege of being " let alone." In these latter days, since the close of the reign of its friend and patron, Andrew Johnson, the Whisky Ring has " come to grief." The offi cers of the law have found their hands strengthened and their hearts encouraged to pursue and punish these robbers of the reve nue, these despisers of the law. The Whisky Ring has fallen upon troublous time, in the days of President Grant. Without respect of persons, the strong arm of law has dealt blow after blow at this wicked combination, with fatal effect. Ilaggerty has become a skulking fugitive from justice; three of the hired would be assassins of Detective Brooks are safe in the Penitentiary; others of the same gang are awaiting trial; and now, Mountjoy, a tower of strength to the Whisky Ring, has received his quietus for the next two years. The Ring is badly damaged. The inspiration of an honest, independent Administration at Washington has been felt all along the line, and every branch of the public service, detec tive, prosecuting and jadicial, paralyzed by the systematic complicity of Andrew Johnson with the transgressors of the law, is now working diligently and successfully, in harmonious ac tion, to destroy one of the worst criminal com binations ever made in any country. District- Attorney Smith and his efficient aid, Mr. Valen tine, en the one part, and Judge Cadwalader, on the other, deserve high praise for the fear less and faithful discharge of their duties in this matter. They are making it plainer than ever that social position, wealth and political influence cannot save offenders from the just penalty of their transgressions; and the com munity at large ,cannot too highly esteem these servants of the law who are thus laboring to enforce the laws and to sustain the Ad , ministration of President Grant in its efforts to collect the revenues arid to suppress the out rageous frauds which enjoyed such disgraceful immunity ander Andrew Johnson's government. It is already intimated that preliminary steps have been taken to procure a pardon for Mount joy. His friends are numerous, unscrupulous, liberal with their ill-gotten money, well-versed in all the tricks of their trade, with much power, and deeply experienced in the busi ness of tampering with officers of the law and of extricating each other from the consequences of their crimes. But where are they to get a pardon for George Mountjoy? It could only come from one source, and there is no reason to hope that any ingenuity of rascality could ivorin its way into the Executive Chamber at Washington, and persuade Ulysses S. Grant to extend aid and comfort to his worst enemies. The President has chosen for the corner-stone of his Government a strict and faithful and economical fulffilment of the laws of the land; he will 'certainly stand by this cardinal principle. The scurvy crowd of pardon brokers, male and female, that once swarmed about the White House, is dispersed, and the ,).President has surrounded himself by a cordon of departmental officers, pledged to his own honest policy, through which Mr. Mountjoy's friends will find it hard to break. That the most desperate efforts will be made to secure a pardon for this pet criminal there is yea reason to doubt. If they ever succeed, the • • ; suitors .and ,Congressmen of Pennsylvania .01 be responsible for it. It is their duty to ;tect the Executive from the false represen ....,i,.'",: ''ens and machinations. of the Philadelphia •;;;;',4"tiky Rips. As members and its agent 9 Y ~x~::, are well known. The public sentiment of Philadelphia is overwhelmingly on the side of a severe infliction of the penalties of 'the law upon the, perpetratera' of revenue frauds. The community will look to its Senatore aid' Re : presentatives to see that the President k 3 not deceived into any clemency for theSe whisky convicts. If Mountjoy or any one of the lesser lights of the Whisky Ring is pardoned, it. can, only be by the practice sonic deception upon the Presiden't for ,which those nearest to him will be. fairly held responsible.' It is hard enough to seem convictions in these, cases, and where the law succeeds in vindicating itself, its Officers must', not be discouraged by the interposition of mis directed' clemency. We can imagine but. one consideration that could possibly be brought to bear in favor of lifountjoy, and as that is a pecuniary one, it is needless to Say - that the present Vxecutive cannot, be reached by it. t PROTECTION FOR THE BOOK-RIALKEWI. gvery axle wbo trarls in the railroad cars, or 10616 intoaiV', of our book'-stores, =twit be struck with the vast number of cheap'-English publications; that ern ,ofrered for „sale. T4se are books issued . for the American markel, 'which, under our presentiaivs; cab be Printed in England, exported to America and retailed all over the country', at lower prices than any American publisher could furnish them from home labor. Undv our Present internal revenue laws the publisher of a book in America has to pay, directly and indirectly, so many taxes, that it is impossible for him to compete with the English publisher. There are taxes on printing ink, and on the materials it is made of; taxes, on the type manufactured and the metal used in it; taxes on the paper manufac ture and the material used in it; taxes on all the chemicals employed in paper, types and ink; taxes on the bookbinder's work • and all the materials he uses, and taxes on the income of all the manufacturers of all the different articles used in the, 'production of a book— except the brains... The makers of our revenue laws, in devising means for the suppression of American publications, seem, however, to have taxed their own brains heavily. It is a positive fact that every book, not pro tected in this country by a copywright, can be printed in England; shipped to America, and sold in our stores much cheaper than any equally good American edition of it can be offered. , Enormous editions, of American as well as English works, offered for sale and bearing an American imprint, are really English manufactures. Our laws, in fact, seem to have been especially devised to destroy the business of book publishing in America, and to put our money into the pockets of the English paper maker, type-founder, printer, book-binder and all the various artisans and laborers dependent on them. Under such a system, American pub lishers naturally avail themselves of the favors of the laws, and have their work done in Eng land. They can make money by such a pro cess, and just now it is perfectly legal that they should do so. But American paper-makers, type-makers, printers, book-binders, and half a dozen other kinds of producers and workers are injured just in proportion as these foreign books are introduced. The various taxes on all their work Were imposed as part of a war tax, without consideration as to the gross ef fect. To compensate for such tax there should have been a duty'on imported books, bound or unbound, or in sheets ; a duty, too, on im ported stereotype plates, which interfere with the work of the type-make and the type-setter and the stereotyper of our own country. These departments of American industry are not quite so extensive as some others that our reve nue laws protect liberally; but they are just as worthy of Protection. Indeed, in many respects, they are much more worthy ; for the literary talent of the country is dependent, in a large degree, upon the encouragement given to publishers of books. The remedy for all these evils, and others resulting from them, is, as we have •already said, a joint one: a reduction or abolition of many of the taxes that oppress the book-pub lisher, and a specific duty on imported books. There is nothing on this subject in the fantastic document that Mr. David A. Wells, Special Commissioner of the Revenue, calls his "Report." But if there is anything that especially needs protection, in the interest of the intellect as well as the industry of the American people, it is the book-publishing business; and although Mr. Wells has not thought it worthy of mention, we trust it will receive the attention of Congress. WHO 111 IT ? We published an interesting circular, yester day, addressed to 44 The Members of the Dem ocratic Association of Pennsylvania." It is a remarkable document, upon which italics and capitals and parentheses have been lavished un til it presents one grand sustained emphasis of mysterious meaning, which challenges the scrutiny of the curious, while it excites the admiration of students of English literature. This Democratic Rosetta Stone has come to light, nobody knoWs how. It seems to be a doraostic electioneering document, of some kind. The paper on which our copy is printed is somewhat dingy of color, but the most care ful chemical tests have failed to discover any faint traces of coffea arabicct, with . which Democratic documents are prepared. Our ex perts, however, have reason to believe that this mysterious circular has reference to a very un-Democratic little trick to make a certain individual President of the Coffee-Pot Club at Ninth and Arch streets. It will be remembered that a• clique of the C. P. C. undertook the same little game last fall, changing the city ticket of the Democracy_ by an arbitrary over- . riding of the Democratic rules, with a success that scarcely warranted a repetition of the clever dodge. Not discouraged by that stupen dous failure, however, the same little circle has nominated some mysterious being as President of the C. P. C., and at this mysterious being this modern Rosetta Stone is hurled. It is the opinion of our best experts that. the circular is "sarkasm," and there seems to be some good reasons for the theory. Its author, or authors—it can scarcely have been produced by a single mind—give vaiious \ reasons why the mysterious being shoUld be , elected Presi dent of the C. Y. C. First, he has .been a school-director. Second, he has been defeated for the District-Attorneyship. Third, he kept "mum" during the Rebellion. Fourth, he was in the 'Quarter Sessions Ring." Fifth,, he is in the "Whiskey Ring." Sixth, the merchants and business men want him. Who is It? There are, here and there, thin places in this artful circular, through which our expertshave fancied that they detected the familiar features of a distinguished member Of THB DAILY ri • ~,Jklitt-* EI4IB G I BULtErtis : -Piiii ' 2A ij ' the bar, Cassidy by name. Ws record answers totliefifett` Hkew,P o to the , s ooo tO B.Pedflea - „ tion.

P. C. for himself, has put fortli this 'deka Missive, hoping to steal laurels from the. Cassidean brow. But it will not do. The Demberacidoes not understand 44 sarkasm ) Th Mid the, resultof rthis tmysterious circular will be that the. half of the C. P. C.'s members, who do not believe its 'Seeming , insinuatibns "'will vote for JCassidy rr supposing hint to be, the ,candidate, -- I because he lats been 'noMitnited; 'and "the 'half who - do believe them will vote twice, from habit and because they have a preferenee for the little Peculiarities' thui breinilY,hipted at. As there is au intimationthe latter part of the circular that the C. ,P:: C. is suffering from the non-payment of delinquent members, we desire to say that we shall make no charge for the insertion of the^circular. JUSTICE TO THE BEAM The people of this country owe to Edwin M. Stanton a. debt which could never have been paid•m fall if that groat mau had Ilyed to, receive the highest honors in our gift. His death iletri t ol,vs the pos.sibility of, personal recompense, but,he leaves behind him a family which was iMpov erished for the, countrY's sake. When Mr. Stanton was called by 'President Lincoln to occupy that high office the duties of which he administered with such masterly ability • and with such grateful results to the _nation,: be abandoned a lucrative practice, which in a few years would haie made him a wealthy man. Duringhis tenure of office, he expended millions of money, and he pos sessed such enormous power that he might easily have enriched himself, as others have done, dishonestly, and have retired to spend the rest of his life in luxury and •ease. But he came.away from the War Office a poor man. Broken down by his arduous and in cessant labors, and needing rest as badly as any man ever needed it, be began bravely to labor for the support of his family, and he. died in the harness, his death, 'without doubt, being the result of his severe toil. His wife and children are poor; and if the people of this nation are not ready to acknowledge the claims that these helpless persons have upon them, they will suffer from actual want. The Union League of this city, at the suggestion of Mr. Boric, has undertaken to raise a fund for Mr. Stanton's family, and the New York Union League has made a movement in the same di rection. But we think that the consummation of this act of justice should not be the work of private organizations or individuals alone. Mr. Stanton sacrificed himself and his fortune for the whole country; he died for tho nation, and we reap the benefits of that sacrifice while his children bear the burden of it. It is fitting, therefore, that there should be some recogni tion of his services on the part of the whole people. and that the nation should contribute to the relief of the necessities of the sufferers. A generous appropriation ought to be made by Congress, not for the purpose of anticipation and prevention of private of ferings, but rather as an accessory to them. We hope that the subject will receive immediate attention; and if any surly spirit should urge as an argument against such an appropriation, that nothing was given by Con gress to Mr. Lincoln's family, let the reply be made that the failure of one Congress to do its plain duty, should not afford a precedent for sub sequent injustice. The people of the country demand this tribute to Mr. Stanton's memory, and they will heartily approve the greatest liberality in bestowing it. If we needed any further inducement than that supplied by a just appreciation of Mr. Stanton's actual ser vices, we might find it in the fact, that such honesty as his is rare enough among public men to have deserved substantial recognition and generous reward.

The Herald says: - About 3 o'clock yesterday morning a fire occurred in the tiro-story frame building No. 166 and 1661 Bowery, owned by N. Tobias, which 'sustained $l,OOO damage. The lire originated in the rear of No. ItZI, occupied as a confectionery store by A. Myer: loss 12,000 on stock and furniture; insured for $2 . ,100. The building was consumed together with Nes. 168 and 1681, to which the names ex tended, and which was occupied by B. Blanth as a jewelry store and dwelling, and S. Her rieg,dealer in furs. The former's loss is $1,800; insured for $8,500; the latter's about $2,000 ; insurance not ascertained. The fire also ex tended to 164, owned by A. Barth, whose loss on building is $2,000 ; insured for $lO,OOO. Mr. Barth occupied the place as a cigar store and dwelling, upon which there is 4 K3,000 loss and $15.000 insurance. These estimates are made by Mr. Hawkey, of Fire Marshal Brackett's office. and are doubtless very near the.mark. About nine o'clock last evening a fire oc curred in the iron foundry of Pease & Murphey, Nos. 484 and 486 Cherry street. The structure is four stories high and covers nearly an entire block. The flames burst out on the top floor, wheKe 530,000 worth of pat terns were stowed, all of which were de stroyed. The foundry has not been working for some time, and, it is said. is advertised for sale. The damage to building is about $5OO. As none of the owners were present the in surance could not be ascertained. MYSTERIOUS CAME. Supposed Suicide in the Mountains or New Jersey. The authorities of Orange, N. J., are con siderably agitated just now touching the death of a man named Anthony Gernhartit, a painter, from New York, whose body was found by some boys, eight or nine days ago, in the woods on the mountain adjoining the property 01 General George B. McClellan, under circum stances of a very suspicious nature. The face was entirely eaten away, and a pistol, unload ed, was found lying by the side, of the corpse. On, Thursday last a man amed Daniel Kurt, claiming to he an insurance' agent, of .Newark, called on Coroner Williams and stated that be was tin receit of letter dated December from Mrs. J. p Shel lenberger, of No. 826 East Twenty-eighth street, New „York, asking him to go to Orange and see if the body was that of Anthony.Gern bardt, a painter, unmarried, who left the house of the woman above mentioned on the 28th of November, with the intention (according to the letter) of going to Orange, so as to be away from any one, and there commit suicide. Kurt examined the body and identified it as Gern hardt's. An inquest was, however, ordered, and Kurt manifested so much uneasiness during the preliminary proceedings that the Coroner has deemed it proper to order his ar rest. • The inquest will be resumed to-day. In the .meantime there is certainly good reason for suspicion of foul playl_ THE FRANIKING PRIVILEGE. The Movement for Its ,Abolition. The following circular letter'.: has been ad dressed by Congressman Hill to his constitu ents in New Jersey. Mr. Hill is Chairman of the Bub-Committee of three appointed by the Heinle Postal Committee to consider the Franking Privilege and other subjects : HOUSE ON RENIXSENTIIart - ES, WASHING TON, D. C. Dec. 20,.1869.—T0 my Constititents of the Nth'Congresszonal District of NOLD . Jersey : A. determined effort is now being made to abolish the Franking Privilege. I respect fully ask you to unite with me in the effort to bring it about, liy signing the following pe tition. There are many reasons why it should be abolished. According to the Postmaster- General's ,Report, it is costitg the Milted States Government annually millions of dol lars. It would in all probability save the pub lishing of many hundred thousand dollars' worth of books. It would require each Depart ment of Government to pay its own postage out of appropriations for incidental expenses of Departments annually made by Congress. It would require every individual who mails or receives letters to pay their postage, thus granting "equal rights' to all, and all matter passing through-the mails thus-pay ..postage. The best reason ()fall, ,If all free matter is• cut off, and expense of Post-office Department curtailed, it will become a, paying institution, and- tend-, to give -. us . cheap postage, that all alike, the poor 'as will : as the ileh, tuay enjoy 'Rs benefits; • and. not require. the poor mares, postage to„ help pay for carryingfree matter in the maiLs. It will help to scatter intelligence throughout the country, for When letters :and papers.; eau be carried cheap through the mans, the dias.ses of the people will get them, and be benefited thereby. Other reasons could he given Why • the Franking Privilege, should be abolished, but I will stop hete, and hope that you will respond to this request by signing the petition attached.• - ' ••, 01INHILL.

The money market was easy at six to seven per cent. and barely felt the ac- Witty occasioned by the preparations of the savings in stitutions to meet the instalments of interest falling due next week. The inactivity of the Stock Exchange. of course, allows this activity to pass almost without effect. The prospect for the future is without apprehension of stringency. The operations of the Treasury for the week are also iu favor of easy Money inasmuch as the government will purchase three millions of Londe against the sale of only two millions of ttold• in eemmercial paper there was so perceptible change.

Dec. 28.—The city was en veloped in fog this morning, and almost everything was completely obscured by the, dense vapor. On the water the fog was very thick, and only by extraordinary precautions collisions were prevented. The ferry-boats made irregular trips and navigation was extremely' hazardous. The Staten Island ferry-boat Middletown made a narrow escape from colliding with vessels, and but for the 'United States guard at Fort Columbus, it would have been run ashore. Early this morning the terry-boat Morristown ran into a sloop . on East River and received serious damage. One passenger had his skull fractured by the mast of the schooner. The ferry boats between New York and Williams burg, suspended trips. A heavy storm set m and the rain Came down in torrents, necessitating a suspension of outdoor business.

These men assured the General that they bad ( been out in the vicinity of.alanzanillo, where they bad been engagell'in firing upon the SPanish Soldiers who were f o und going out into the country in small bodi A: fear days after this occurrence the General, having sent out an es cort to make a reconnoisance, asked for a few soldiers to guard the camp in place of the es cort. The four individuals beiore referred to responded to the call; , with , otheis they- -_were__admitted. _ to _this__ I tierylee, and during the night, while one of them was on duty as a sentinel, there was beard a report of firearms in the camp. Soon itwae learned that the discharges had been fired into the bodies of the General and another officer, who was: bis brother. Forthe moment the troops supposed they had been surprised, by the enemy, Captain Nicholas O'hala dißcharged his weapon at 'one of the aggressors and killed' him, and ' put to a precipitate flight the other three by' that act. • The brothera • Marcano bad received besides light wounds from a machete. The proof that the Spanish Governhaent was mixed up in these assassinations is found in the fact that ,greatrejoicing.was. had in Man zanillo over the event, Whenmusic,discharges of cannon, and other demonstrations occurred in recognition of the death of Gen. , Marcano, though wrongly informed, as the Spaniards were, by the assassins who bad doubtless gone there to get their reward. " A few days ago a man of bad aspect pre sented himself to the General-in-Chief, mani festing, at the time, adesire to form a part of his escort. He was apprehended and his per 'son tborcnighly searched, when a large and very sliatp - knile was , found carefully con cealed on him,and in one of hispockets a pass port signed by the secretary of the Captain- General, in which the request was made that he should not be hindered in any particular until his safe arrival in Camaguey. At this moment he is being put upon trial; bat there is no , difficulty in divining the object of his visit, nor the fact that he had been sent by the Captain-General. According to information received from :Ammonite the Spanish Government has sent another ass assin to murder Gen. Modesto Diaz,_ who is fully forewarned. Such acts will hardly excite the sympathies of civilized people in behalf of ; Spain—the defender, as she is, of slavery. The: war of the enemy seems to rejoice in perse cuting families and in assassinating all per-, sons whom it reaches, even the most peace-, ably disposed. The Spaniards spare not those' who endeavor to keep out of our way,and who wish in no respect to have anything to do with the war." SPANISH OUTRAGES AND MASSACRE. The forces of the enemy at Maniabon, not, feeling entirely secure there, retired to Puerto Padre about the lath of last month. They bad, however, before retiring, assassinate) great many people of the neighborhood, who had been met in excursions, among whom were numbered seven women and lave chil dren. The enemy, however, when aasas sinating, often makes pretensions to victories gained, and counts the poor victims of his barbarity as among the slain soldiers of our army. In proof of this, among a thousand others, I might cite to you the case of Juan Sanchez Ysaguirre, a distin guished lawyer of aranzanillo. This gentle man, because of a pulmonary complaint, bad retired with his family to a place near Nagua. On the 27th the house was attacked by the Spaniards, and because of the pitiable state in which he was at the time, the poor man was unable to fly, and consequently bad to remain along with one of his friends, Ramon Salazar, who had been attending him as a brother, and was unwilling to leave his side. Both were assassinated and their bodies horribly mutilated. But this affair was made to figure in the journals as a feat of arms; it being said thatthese men fell in an engagement. The family of the murdered man fled to the neigh boring mountains, were captured a few days thereafter, and all that they possessed was stolen by the Spanish soldiers, even to the ear rings worn bythe ladies. The wife of Ysaguirre (whose maiden name was Amalia Gar cia) was buffeted by some of these men be cause she offered some resistance at being despoiled. The vileness of the Spanish soldiers does not eud here, for they compelled the wife of the unforianate man to sign a letter, which was published, wherein she was made to render thanks to the Spanish commander for the attentions of which. she had been the ob ject. This officer was Juan Lopez de Campillo, the murderer of her husband. THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE GEN. QUESADA. Be.nigno Tejedo was the name of the indi vidual who was despatched from Havana to assassinate Quesada. The passport he bore was stamped as follows: " Goinerno Superior Politico-'.-Seeretarke." There was, besides, on the paper the words " Gobierno, Capitania Gen eral y 2superintendencia delegada de hacienda de la siempre jiel Isla de Cuba.' The document thus reads : "I concede permission to D.Benigno Tejedo to pass to Porto Principe without any impedi ment being offered thereto.—Havana, Sept. 1, 186'). • " 11 yorder of the Most Excellent Governor Superior Civil. " The Secretary, Casanto Flosayniz." In sending this paper to. Sailor Lemus, Seiler Agremonte adds a note, which hi as follows : " This is the document which was found on the person who presented himself to the. General-in-Chief with the intention of going into his escort. It has been received from the General-in-Chief, who states that Tejedo has been hung, he having been con victed of, and confessed to, an intention of assassinating him. Before tiling he told the bystanders that they might inform the Presi dent of the Republic and the General-in-Chief, who now held him, that he had a proposition made to him, at Havana, for their a:was:dna tion.

The following communication. from Secre tary Fish, addressed to oar ministers and 'di plomatic agents in foreign countries, Will be read with interest, as embodying the views of President Grant on' the subject of interna tional cables. The proposition of the Presi dent for a convention of all the Powers inter ested in the subject is one that will commend itself as containing the practical solution of a question which threatens a deluge of diplo matic correspondence': DEPAIMMENT'OF ISTATE,:WAIIIIINGTOX, Nov. 18, 1869.—Sir :—The President thinks the present moment favorable for the negotiation of a joint convention by the maritimerowers of the world for the protection of submarine . cables. The United States have a peculiar in-, terest in fostering construction of these in 'dispensable avenues of intelligence and in protecting them ~against wanton injury. Its domains extend trom ocean to ocean, and its commerce plies at regular intervals alike from the ports of the Atlantic and of the Pacific to the ports of Europe and of Asia. Its citizens on the shores of both oceans are in constant communication with each other across the Continent, both by the rail and the telegraph. This central position in the commerce of the world entitleethe 'United States to initiate this movement for the common benefit of the com "tierce and civilization .of all. The features which. the President desires to incorporate into the proposed convention are : First—Suitable previsions for the protec tion of such cable lines, In time of pteace and of war, againstWilful or wanton destruction or injury. We have seen during the present year the submarine cable connecting Cuba - with the United States severed, and communi cation through it interrupted. The President proposes to prevent similar destruction and injnry hereafter, by a joint declaration that such acts shall be deemed .to be acts .of ,piracy and punished as such. Second—Suitable provisions to encourage the future construction of such lines. Ex perience has already shown that the assump tion by one nation to .control- the connection with the shores of another will lead to com plications that may, unless arranged, result in preventing all directtelegraphic communi cations between the two countries. The Presi dent deems that this can be best prevented in future by providing that hereafter • no exclu sive concession shall be made without the joint action of the two governments , whose shores are to be connected. In this way the capital of both countries will be enlisted., and 1 at the same time possible causes of difference I will be removed. Third—Previsions against scrutiny of me. - sages in government officials. The President thinks that the right to establish such 4 scrutiny in favor of the Power controlling either end of the, cable is calculated to lead to trouble, and had therefore better be pre vented. A draft of a convention embodying these points has been prepared, and is herewith inclosed. It will be understood, boiveVer;' that this is submitted simply as a basis for future discussion, should the leading Powers concur with the United States in considering the subject one for international consideration and jurisdiction. The President desires that the representatives at Washington of Great Britain, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, North Germany, Austria, Russia, Belgium, Holland, Sweden and Norway, Denmark, Turkey, Greece, Venezuela, Brazil, the Aventine Confederation,' Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Chile,. may be empowered to enter jointly and simultaneously into nego tiations with the United States and with each other, with a view of concluding a joint con vention for the,purposes hereinbefore referred to, and instructions identical with these are issued to the representatives of the United States at each of those Powers. You will, upon the receipt of this, propose to the Cabinet .of to give to Its Minister at Washing ton powers to enter into such negotiations with the United States and with the repre • sentatives of such other Powers as may he, empowered for that purpose and to conclude with them such a joint convention, and yen are at , liberty, in your discretion, to furnish to the Minister for Foreign Affairs a copy - of these instructions and their inclosure.
