COMMERCIAL REFORM SoUGHT.-The Ex-
ecutive Council of the National Board of
Trade, which includes among its members
Messrs. Avery Piumer and Hamilton A. Hill
of Boston, and Mr.. John B. Brown of Port
land, had an interview with the President
Monday, for the purpose of submitting sever
al propositions OF national importance. These
were in reference to the civil service reform !;
the establishment OF department of COM
merce; the direct importation Of goods into
the larger interior cities; the resusitation of
commerce by free registration of ships from
abroad, and by encouraging the ship building
interest by allowing drawbacks on material
used IN constructing vessels.
PRESIDENT Grant said he believed he could
morse all the plans proposed, with the ex-
ception Of the free registration of ships, be-
cause he thought the mercantile marine of
the United States should be composed of YES
sells constructed by American shipbulders. If
such an exception were made in favor OF mer-
chants, other interests would claim exemp-
ton, and he did not believe it was in accord
ance with the spirit of the times to make
such exceptions. He was assured that Con-
gressional legislation would in the main meet
the wants Of the merchants, and trusted the
G;ay was near at hand when we would again

The DARIEN CANAL.-The New York Com

Isthmus in regard to the crossing of that "nar-

there with credentials from this Government
he says that. being in Europe, he heard of the
revived Darien project, and proceeded at once
to Washington, where he informed the Plesi-
dent that some years ago he crossed the 18th
mus of Darien in canoe by water, assisted by
the overflow of two rivers at their head waters,
one Of which rivers flowed to the Atlantic and
the other to the Pacific. He was prepared to
do this again. He gained the ear of the Presi-
dent, who gave him letters to our Consul at
Aspinwall and Capt. Selfridge Of the Nipsic.
Capt: Heine, on his arrival at Aspinwall, pro-
cured boat. men and provisions and started
for the point of entrance, declaring that he
would be at Panama in his boat within fifteen

of communication with him with interest there
as we'll as here. But the whole story has du-
bious appearance It is hardly probable that
the Atlantic and Pacific can be SO easily united.

Diseases that progress rapidly to a crisis are not
the only ones to be dreaded. Canker or dry rot
does not blast a tree as suddenly as a stroke of
lightning, but unless arrested, it destroys it as
certainly; and in like manner chronic debility,
although it does not kill with the swittness of yellow
fever is sure to sap the springs of life eventually
any acute disease if not checked by invigorating
medication. There is something inexpressib,y
touching in the spectacle premature decay. Lam
guor pallor emaciation, depression OF Spirits and
dis'ase tor exertiOn, are Its ordinary symptoms,
and they should be promptly met by tonic treat
ment. The best invigorant and exhilerant that
can be administered in a case OF this kind is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. The stimulating principle
OF the preparation rouses the dormant enerees Of
the system, and the strengthening and regulating
properties give permanent and healthtul impulse
to the vital forces thus brought into play. The tall

and assimilation are quickeDed, the quality of tho

SPAN-AssAULT ON GEN. PIMA letter
from Madrid OF the 14th inst. states that on
the day previous procession of 1000 people
returning from meeting which had denounc-
cd drafting for the army, met a carriage con-
tanning Gen. Prim. They demanded that he
should join in shouting, "Down with conscrip-
tion," but he refused and made an unsatisfac-
tory speech, which infamed the mob and he
was with difficulty driven to the war office,
being stoned on the way, one of the missiles
striking him in the side. A number of arrests
were made, but they were subsequently re-
leased. In the Cortes the next day Prim said
it was no disLonor to be stoned, as Washing
ton once was, but if he (Prim) had discovered
who it was that hit him he would have shot
him on the spot. The impression in Madrid is
that Prim has had his day, and that important
changes must soon take place.

NEW YORK PoLlTIcs-How Itceed FgQnked
the Young Denaocrdcy.-The political element
which comprises all the rag, tag and bobtail of
New York, was in a state of intense excitement
over the meeting of the Tammany General
Committee which was to have been holden
Monday night. At five o'clock the young De-
mocracy met at Irving Hall, and passed sun
dry resolutions, declaring that their sole and
only reason for opposing the Tweed-Sweeny
ring was that they desired to have pure city
government, without the many peculating
commissions instituted by a corrupt Legisla-
ture. They appointed a committee to wait on
Mr.. Tweed and demand admission; but Mr..
Tweed was one too many for them. He had
SO fixed matters as to have Tammany Hall (the
place of meeting) guarded by $50 police, the
pretence being that disturbance was antici-
pated. The officers were instructed to admit
no one not provided with ticket signed by
the potent Tweed, and obeyed. Hence, when
the committee reached Tammany Hall, they
were forced to wait twenty minutes, coming
away at last without having obtained tickets
of admission. Mr.. Tweed positively refused to
see them. Returning to Irving Hall, the eau
Gus meeting broke up, and the young Demo-
Gratis of the committee, who were largely in
the majority, dispersed. They numbered 178,
while the Tweed faction numbered only 143.
The following preambles and resolution
passed by the Sachems of the Tammany So
ciety, fully explain MI. Tweed's action:

al Committee, to be held in Tammany Hall

mated with MI. John Morrissey and his promi-
