sy, thus: Finally, upon this direct issue
between President and Senator, the Re-
publican party of the Senate must stick
to the President. Otherwise the whole
organization becomes demoralized, and q
scrub race for the succession is inevitable
How else can it be if the head of the
party is snubbed and Sumner is support
ed as mutineer? General Grant, educa-
ted as soldier, is disciplinarian even
as politician. So was General jackson.
In this very tbiag, if the Republicans
only have the sense to understand it,
General Grant has shown them that

A bill is now under consideration be-
fore the Wisconsin Legislature, which is
mot without positive merit, and must
commend itself to the thoughtful consid-
Grafton of law makers. It provides that
whenever eleven jurors, impaneled to try
any criminal case or civil action, shall
agree, upon verdict, such agreement,
duly announced in Court, shall be taken
and held to be the verdic. of the whole
jury. The New York Tribune, in CON-
menting upon this rather novel PROPOSE
tion, so5s it appeals to the common sense
Of everybody. In this city, as elsewhere,
We frequently comment upon the disa
greement Of jury simply because one
obstinate juror would not coincide in the
views of the other eleven. In sucl
eases the power of one is greater thai
that Of eleven, and the wheels of justic'
are stopped. 1t is not very difficult a
times to secure single juror, aud com
mon sense suggests that where one hold
out against eleven that the former
wrong, and the latter right.

Democsatie Retrenehment and Reform.

The New York Tribune has been on
the trail of the Tammany politicians, and
rs it progresses in its investigations con-
cerning the thieving operations of the
Ring, it prints them. 1t finds that the
leading men, who were very poor few
years ago, have suddenly acquired i'm
neuse wealth; and this wealth has been
acsuired out of Offices the legitimate
emoluments of which would barely afford
them comfortable support. Pursuing
the investigation on this point, the Tri-
Bane finds that the records show that
during the year 1870 these Democratic
Office holders, although holding offices
the legitimate and honest incomes from
which were barely sufficient to meet the
actual demands of life, have made rea
estate purchases to the enormous exten
ef $3.50, lO1. Verify the financial
ability Of New York Democratic Office
holders is 'specaliar." The records shov

amount of $500 $50 Peter b. Sweene

THE DARIEN SHIP CANAL-A cores
pondent of the New York Tribune writing
from the headquarters of the Darien Ship
Canal expedition, under date OF February
26th, gives some very interesting details
of the progress made up to that time.
He concludes:
To sum up what has been and what
is to be done by the expedition, it may
be stated that there have been found
on the Atlantic and Pacific slopes two
points to which ships may he carried
That on the Atlantic side is forty-fve
miles from the Gulf of Darien, at the
| junction of the Arato aud Cacarica rivers,
while that on the Pacific side is about
forty miles from the ocean. Between
these two points, which are distant about
fifty miles from each other, there is a
dividing ridge of low hills, not exceeding
in any place 400 feet in hight and OF
very little width. The problem to be
solved by the engineers is: "Where is the
lowest point of the divide aud through
what part of the Intervening country will
it be most feasible to construct canal %
Commander Selfridge has already found
La feasible route, but it is believed that q
much better one may be found, and fol
that reason the corps of engineers will
continue the exploration of the country
until the rainy season begins this viii
probably be about the middle of April
so they still have over two months il
which to continue their labors.
The determination beyond a doubt tina
the Darien Ship Canal is feasible, render
ing unnecessary the long detour wa Cap,
Horn, is more important victory fo
commerce and civilization than any othe
accomplished fact of the century. Th'
London Times and other influential jour
mails have constantly ridiculed the idea o
the feasibility of such canal, but science
will ultimately, we believe, dissipate al
doubts, and prove what patience, perse
verancc aud intelligent American indus
try can accomplish.
