he is enabled 10 take accurate portrait or Da-

may seem incredible TO even those who are ia

Mr.. C. intends giving his discovery to the

the next session, petitiening that committee of
physicians be appoinedcd to examine into It's

we wish when the Constitution members getto work
On that faulty instrument again. they would strike

less an emergency arises when the Governor could
call them together. We commend this subject to
the serious consideration of the few thinking men in

Tie Washington correspondent of the New
York Times states that President PIERCE has
ciused to be submitted to the Government Of New
Granada a formal proposition for the cesSion to
Panama Railroad route, the citis of Aspinwall
and Panama, and strip. of the tcrItory through
which the road runs, sufficiently wide to insure the
protection of the route from future violence The
precise form of the proposed cesson has not trans
pred. The desired object may be secured either
by absolute session of sovereignty and terrific
rial doman---by lease of the territory to the
United States per@eually, or for term OF years
with the right to exercise undisputed municipal
control over it-or by simple treaty stipulation
that the United States shall have the right to sta
tion military force upon the ISthmus sufficient
to preserve order and protect the Transit route
1t is mistake to sup ose that either Of these pro
positions conflict with the Clayton Bulwc Treaty
which applies to political and not to geographical
Central America and therefore has no reierenct
to New Granada. From such information as hi
can gather, the correspondent is satisfied that th
Presidents proposition is not for an absolute ces
sion Of sovere ynty aud territorial dominion upoI
the lsthmus, but for treaty concession tons o
perfect municipal power there. with such restric
tons upon the power of the Federal Govermen
OF New Granada, with reference to the Transi
route, as shall give to us in fact, with respec
thereto, free exercises of all the powers of sove
reignty Tor the protection and development G
American interests without yielding US the actua
sovereignty by name. In short, we are to hav
the substance of the thing without the NAME A
arrangement of this sort would save the pride
New Granada, which revolts at the idea of part
ing with territory however valueess to herscl
while it would also cbviate mach of the obectio
in the United States to the acquisition of terrific
rial sovereignty detached from the great body
our possessions. There is reason to believe tbs
; the proposed arranfcment win be consummateC
In return for the concessions to the United Stat
We are to pay New Granda a sumIof money to /
agreed upon, from which the inst claims of Anne
