[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 cess of the gifted and worthy standard-bearer put forward by that body.

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.

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.
