INTERVIEWING CANAI..-A companv
has been advertised FIR constructing an Az
lantic and Junction Canal through the 18Th
mus Of Darien, at cast of $4,000 600
sterling. This route. it appears, has never
been actually surveyed. but some supcrG-
sial observations, lately n1ade. have led
to the assumption that IL the level should
prove such as they are supposed to be-
a canal capable OF passing the largest
vessels without locks might be excavatcd for
the sum specified That the revenue ID ID
derived from ship canal between the oceans
would be such as TO repay even a very heavy
expenditure. is a conclusion long since III
rived at by those who have most thoroughly
investigated the question; but whether an
outlay of Gl5,000, 600 g1r 4 work that mus.
be subsidiary to the Nicaragua canal, every
foot OF which has been the subject Of the
most precise estimates, and which can be
built so as TO admit large ocean steamers,
such as the Northern Light, for less than
&4,G00, 900 viii be found profitable, is a
point upon which there would seem little
dlRicGity in forming al opinion. The shares
OF the proposed company are to be of 5e10O
each, with deposit of l0s.; and condi-
tional concession Of the line has been OBJ
tanned froai tie govcrrmentof of New Granada,
to whom the sum Of e24,0OO il TO be paid
within twelve months Of its date.

Z. S. SHr CoxsTELLArIoN.-This time
honored ship has been hauled up on one Of
the slips in the Norfolk Navy Yard. The
Portsmouth (Va.) Transcript says:
She is to be raced and converted into q
first-class sloop-of-war, and viii be otherwise
thoroughly and extensively repaired. The
Constellation is a second-class frigate of So
guns, and was launched at Baltimore in the
year 1871 more than half a century ago.
Her timbers are very rotten, and for the
most part will have to be replaced with new:
and her mode, will, no doubt, 1equire some
alteration to conform somewhat with ships Of
more recent construction.
1t was at one time proposed to apply steam
to the Constellation as an auxiliary, using a
submerged propeller: but objections were
made to any change in the character Of the
ship on account of her connection with the
history Of the country The project was
abandoned, and the vessel was allowed to
retain her position in that portion of our na-
tional vessels on this station, technically
known as "Rotten Row." where she might
have remained had not the present exigen-
cies Of the service compelled the department
to have her repaired

il meeting was held at Jefferson, Georgia,
a few days since, TO consider the proprietv
Of a5olishing the Supreme Court Of that
State. The reasons Tor this action are spicy:
at is the last thing that We as Georgians,
would submit to, that oar own beloved State
should fall below any of her sister States
with regard to her Judiciary or any other
Of her institutions; and being satisfied, aslwe
are, that the Judiciary Of Georgia before the
Organization Of the Supreme Court stood at
the head OF the list Of all our sister States.
we believe that the final trial by special jury
is the safest tribunal by which the rights Of
men were ever determined, with the power
that body has to administer Justice to the
parties. And we believe that the Judges Of
the Circuit Courts, with tie assistance of the
Bar and counsel to present to the minds Of
the jury all the facts in the cases which can
be developed by testimony. are all that are
necessary to enable jury to come to a cor
rect and just decision. We therefore con-
sent that the Supreme Court furnishes 10
additional security for the administration OF
justice, but does furnish necessity for an
increase Of tax upon The people. delay of
justice and an additional expense to parties

GEN. CASS.

Since the days Of the famous Marquis of Hall
fax. there has been no such trimmer in poll
tics as the distinguished Senator from Michigan.
The uniform tenor of his public conduct argues
a mind to the last degree unsteady in its convic-
tons and vacillating in its purposes.
II is we'll known that some twenty years age
he was seriously talked OF as the Wing candidate
for the Presidency. From this circumstance it is
fair TO infer that at that period, though uominay
Democrat, he was somewhat tainted. as the
Locofocos would say, with Whiggism. Soon af
ter his appearance in the United States Senate.
the Wilmot Proviso question arose in that body,
and, though he spoke and voted the subject.
yet his real position in reference to it was for
long time marvel and mystery to the country.
If our memory does not esregiousy mislead US,
he spoke and voted both sides of that question.
In his famous Nicholson letter, he discussed at
great length, the "squatter sovereignty" doctrine,
but so nicely did he balance his arguments pro
aud con- that he set the whole nation, from Maine
to Texas, to wrangling over his meaning. Whom
the compromise measures were pending. he
spoke strongly in favor of the fugitive slave law
but afterwards refused to vote for it frivolous
Ind absurd pretext. When tho Kossuth mania
was prevailing in the land he proposed to give the
Emperor of Russia notice not TO intervene be-
tween Austria and Hungary, in case of another
revolution in the latter country. But here again
he approved himself trimmer, and shrunk from
the Legitimate consequences of his own move
ment, by disclaiming the idea of going to war
with Russia even though she should treat our
protest with contempt.
few weeks ago Gen. Cass stock off his coat"
at Tammany Hall and delivered a harangue,
which placed him at once in the front ranks of
the fllibusters and interyentonists. After q
brief interval, however, he appeared before the
public in entirely different light. Speaking
from his place in the Senate, he denounced the
fillibusters in the most unmeasured terms, to the
infinite amazement of that worthy fraternity, and
expounded his doctrine of Intervention so mildly
that even the National Intelligencer could find
little or nothing to disapprove in his exposition.
But this pacific and conservative mood of mind
was not to last long, Mr.. Cass very raised
clamor about the Clayton and Bulwer treaty.
British usurpation in Honduras, the Monroe doc
trine, &c. Nothing will content him now but a
declaration to the effect that no European power
shall coonise further on this continent. But
even here, in the of his Russo Austrian re-
solutions he betrays his characteristic tmidty,
by failing to tell us wether he is prepared for n
resort to tho ultima ratio to support and enforce
his proposed pronunciamento. Judging of the
future by the past, we may reasonably anticipate
conservative demonstration from Gen. Cass at
no distant day. The refusal of his friends,
Messrs. Mason and Butler, to give him aid and
comfort, will soon brighten the worthy old gen.
tleman into the abandonment of his present
hobby.
