Ever since its original discovery the Isthmus

Known as the Isthmus of Panama has been
recognized as the important point in the

view TO the construction of an inter-oceanic
canal, but through political disturbances at
home it was never commenced and tbe,o hoe
been no more favorable result from later sur
Veys' That the mountainous range which
~lraverses the isthmus is a very serious obsta-
cie is evident; that it is insuperable we should
be SLOW to believe.
The distance is about half that from Port

hanored miles long; the width OF the 18TH

TIE RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTs.-
letter from Attorney General Hoar upon
the resumption of specie payments, written in
october last, now reaches the public for the
first time. We take out the gst of his re-
marks: y ~
I am one of those who believed that it was
the interest as well as the duty of the nation
TO return at once to the true and SOLD stauu-
ard OF value as soon as active hostillties ceas-
ed; that we should have treated the currency
as we did our armies-regarding tne soluu
teers and greenbacks alike as necessltles OF
the war, to be dispensed with as fast as posi-
ble on the return of peace. 1 think we made
a great mistake in not doing so; that the
shortest method was the safest and best;
that the only way to reach the object is
by steady and persistent contraction OF the
currency painful process whenever it
comes, no doubt, but harder and worse for us
the longer it is delayed.
l hope that Congress VIII address itself with
courage and constancy to the solution of the
problem as soon as it meets; and will feel as
sured that the American people have intelli-
gence enough to support those who do it. My
views on the subject are of little Importance
to anybody, but, as an American citizen, l
should be sorry and ashamed to find my coun-
try unable to provide for its overdue paper.
