THE DARIEN CANAL.

The project of cutting canal across
the Isthmus Of Darien, and opening
thorough communication for vessels
from one ocean to the other, thereby
lessening the distance between San
Francisco and New York thousands of
miles, and avoiding the great dangers
to be met with in doubling Cape Horn,
is getting many supporters throughout
the country, and Congress seeing the
great Importance of the work has taken
hold in earnest by making an appropri-
alton of $4,000 for complete survey
Of the country through which the canal
would run. Since it has come to be
understood that for several months in
the year there is no certainty that the
Union Pacific Railroad can be kept
open, by reason of the heavy SHOWS
prevailing at several points on the
route, the necessity arises for some
other route to San Francisco that can
be relied npon during all seasons of the
year. Besides, the business relations
of the country demand a competing
line to cheaper freishts, railroad tariff
rates are rather more than the ordinary
kinds of freight can bear from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, via. the Union
and Pacific road, and hence the great
need that seems to be for cheap
freight line such as would be obtained
with canal through the Isthmus for
the transit of the largest sail vessels
and steamships. With the opening of
this route it would become the great
highway for many vessels to China
and Japan which now sail by way of
the Suez canal, and in fact the impor-
lance Of this great work to ourselves
or other nations, can not very we'll be es-
timated, and although to accomplish
it will take millions of money, yet we
hope to see it completed within our
time.

DAVID ATWOOD FOR CONGRESS.

In our hurry last week we had mere
ly time to give the result Of the pro-
ceedings of the Convention in this city,
called together to nominate fit candi-
date to represent this district in Con
gress.
In the selection of Hon David At
wood of Madison, the veteran editor of
the State Journal, the mantle Of the
lamented B. E. Hopkins has indeed
fallen upon worthy shoulders. The
people of the I'd Congressional District
may well congratulate themselves on
the wise selection the convention made,
for in Gen. Atwood they will have
member who will be untiring in his eff
forts to advocate and carry through
any measures that in his judgment will
conduce to the happiness and welfare
of the entire district, and who will al
ways prove true to the great princi-
Piles underlying the Republican party of
the country.
It must be a matter Of no small pride
to him that he received this nominal
ton over men of the best ability, and
entire fitness for the position, and who
seemed to have the utmost confidence
of their delegations throughout. At the
announcement Of the nomination it was
pleasant to see the harmony and good
feeling which prevailed after SO sharp
a contest, and it was evident that
the selection of no other candidate
would have produced the unanimous
expression of satisfaction which seemed
to pervade the entire convention, when
Mr.. Atwood was declared the success
full man.

Ed. REPUBLICAN We remain about the
same and the folks are quite well, thank
yoa. We have no occasion to put on airs,
and on the contrary feel little detected
over the fact that Milford has exceeded US
in enterprise, and to our discontinue, has
several well developed cases of the mumps
Recruiting for the regular army has been
young men have enlisted from this place.
Success attend them.
The Methodists are after the devil wISh
sharp stick this time, and no mistake, and
are in for vigorous prosecution of the war,
in the shape Of an extensive revival which
for several weeks has been in progress, and
with constant growth of interest.
We have been the pleased recipients Of
visits from several sleigh-ride parties from
neighboring towns. 1t is understood that
several more intend to honor US with a call
in like manner. We are Ger tainly pleased
to see them, and Blanchard has just pared
pumpkin and says he is bound to have
enough for all in the way of eatables.
I attended the Congressional Convention
in Watertown, last week. Queer fellows,
those politicians, don't you think SO, Keyes {?
Having naturally bat a small share of
of physical beauty 1 was mistaken for
delegate the moment l entered the hall
Half dozen men gathered around and de-
clared nothing would deli ght them more
than to be allowed the privilege to "Iicker,"
and one man kindly intending to gatter
me, said l very much resembled Gill in the
classic contour CT my face. [ treated on
that, of course. | noticed occasionally that
to relieve the tedium of the hour Smith or
Willard would rise up and put on sort of
doubtful anti-Caswell expression of coun-
tenance. This would be followed by IL rush
from Dane to inquire how they felt, while
Cassiday would come blandly over from the
crowned heads of Rock to offer coincidence
and simply suggest change of base Not
exactly knowing how the matter stood, !
went to Re Jnolls and asked him what he
thought of it. He said that he was lust of
my opinion, which made it very clear to
me. After balloting again the President
rose and stated be was happy to announce
that the situation remained unchanged,
when Reynolds made motion that the
Convention take a recess, said recess being
at the other end Of the room. Every dele
cation talked grit tNthe last end, and |
told Griswold that thought if the contest
lasted much longer each delegate would
find the aforesaid last end' would need a
considerable grit. He said the Columbia
County delegation were bound to SIT firm
in support of Holm es even if the operation
caused corns. | think from the way every
body laughed at the speech of Gill, there
must have been some truth said fol YOU
know nothing sounds so fresh and funny in
politics or religion as the telling of a little
truth. Yours, &C.. II.

We the undersigned, make Oath that at
the time Of the last Fair of the American

following the French Exposition in Paris,
two Pianos made by SteinWay & Sons, one

several other makers instruments were
tried against each other by order ard under
control of the officers of the Institute, to
decide which Piano on exhibition in com
petition should receive the First Premium
''as the best Square Piano known" To
OBTAIN an impartial trial, twice all of said
Pianos were covered with papers, so that
one Piano could not be distinguished from
another; During the absence of the Judges
and twice did they select one of said Pianos
as the best, which, upon uncovering, both
times, proved to be the said Patent ARION
Piano, awarding it "Tle First Premium

A FINISHED WOhK,

The Fifteenth Amendment La: 1T
length been ratified by the required
number Of States, and thereby becomes
a part of our national con. titution.
With this accomplishment the great
distinctive m sion of the Republican
party may be considered as finished.
It was a noble mission and nobly has
it been wrought out Looking back
over the past ten years OF glorious
achievemeut-ofs slavery abolished, the
shareholders rebellion crushed, and the
civil and political rights of every
dweller upon American soil fully Sc
cured-we can almost wish that the
Republican party, as asparty, might
here close its career, and pass into his
tory with no other record than the
grand one it has already made. The
Liberty party of 1916, delivered the
country from foreign domlnion-the
Liberty party of 1860 regenerated the
nation and made it consiste mt with its
high claims and professions. Ii the
work and mission of the one were
glorious, those of the ether have not
been less so.
But we do not suppose that the or
eauization of the Republican party
will be dissolved at present; we be-
lieve it has still before it a long and
useful career. There are questions
OF finance and governmental policy to
b, considered AMI settled which are
of great practical importance, although
of a less exhalted character than those
which have engaged the attention OF
the country the past ten years. IT,
however, the fate of this party, Whosa
rise into power proved 20 be the Sec
ond great era in our national existence,
and whose earlier energies were devo-
ted to securing the rights of man-if
its fate shosid be the same as that OF
other parties which have preceded it,
and it should finally die in some
ignoble contest upon the tariff ques-
ton. or unon minor issues of civil
polity, nevertheless the grand past is
secured, no matter what the future
may bring, and the glorious achieve
ments of the Republican party will ez-
halt it to the highest place in the his
tory Of our eountry's progress.
