Progress Of the Darlen Ship
Canal. >

The route now taken by Com.
Selfridge is one indicated by Traut-
wine, as propably affording q better
route than those directly surveyed by
him. 1t enters one of the northern
mouths of the Atrato, goes into the
main stream, then up the Cascarica
river, which flows from the northwest
into the Atrato. Leaving this, it
strikes the waters of the Tuyara on the
Pacific side, passing over an elevation
of net more than 800 feet. The Tuya-
"a is navigable for large vessels for 40
miles from the Pacific ocean, while on
the Atlantic side, good river naviga-
ton extends up from the Gulf of Da-
rien for As miles. Between these points
is about 80 miles, the greater part of
which will be deepening of the Tuya-
ra river. The Gulf of San Miguel on
the Pacific, and that of Darien on the
Atlantic, are excellent harbors, land
locked, and having great depth of wa
ter. The Gulf of San Miguel is the
same terminus as indicated for the
route from Caledonia Bay. which we
illustrated last year. This is resume
of the latest information from the Da-
rien Expedition. Accurate surveys
may alter these conclusions, and il
may yet be determined to use the Pa
mama route, even with expensive
docks, or making artificial harbor, as
at Port Said.-Scientjfc american.

THE administration and the rebel
Hous people of Kentucky have come
to terms and Mails are restored to the
Louisville & Lexington r. R., the
colored mail agent having resigned.
The government has placed troops
along the line to protect the agents
from assault. No government but
that of Grant and CresswelPs would
have abandoned the performance of
public duty because Of private vio-
lation of the law; any other govern
ment would have performed the SER
vice and have punished the offenders,
or, failing in that, protected the SER
want. Instead of doing so it aban-
doned the field and coolly told the
law-abiding public to help itself. 1t
is but another INSTANCE of the mean
ness and maIevOlence of bigoted
and narrow minded administration,
whose chief incentives are personal
antipathies.

A MIXED DIsTELLERY CASE.
Verdict ef $4,000 Ag5 inst a
United States Marshal.

A.ease of considerable interest, as
concerns distillers and as affecting the
authority of the United States Mar
shals, as. well as involving the juris-
dictions of Circuit and Federal Courts,
was recently developed in Haywood
county. Itappears that some months
since Col. Eaton, United States Mar
shall for West Tennessee, received a
warrant for the arrest of Mr.. +. 5.
Reed, of Haywood county, upon the
charge of being an Illicit distiller, and
finally succeeded after mnch trouble
and annoyance in capturing him.
When arrested lie promptly gave bond
for appearance for trial, and beingre
leased returned to his home. Think
ing that the arrest was an informal
one, Mr.. Reed brought suit in the
Haywood Circuit Court, for damages
against Col. Eaton, as United Staies
Marshal, laying his loss to health
wealth and feeling at the modest sum
of $50, 900. Upon being notified of
the suit, Col. Eaton procured a writ
of certiorari, bringing the case into
the United States Courts. The Hay
wood Circuit Judge refused however
| TO recognize the writ, and going on

give judgement against Eaton in favor
of Redd for the amount claimed, $780,
900. 1t is thought that the verdict
will be set aside, and it is averrcd that
the proceeding renders both the Cir
cult Court and Mr.. Reed liable to ar
raignmenl- before Judge Emmons of
| the United States Court. As the case
and surrOundings now stand, they are
rather mixed and complicated, invOlv-
ing clearly the jurisdiction and SUI
premacy of the two courts. The final

which will usite the States and people
In union, peace, harmony and PROS
perity. All the speeches made, both
by Virginia and Philadelphia gentle
men, at the various entertainments
given in honor of the former, breathe
the true spirit of American fraternity,
and tell that new departure has been
made by intelligent men of all parties,
which cannot fail to be productive of
great good to both sections. And it is
eminently fitting and proper that Vir-
glnia and Pennsylvania should cO-ope-
rate in special manner when such a
celebration as that of 1876 is proposed.
These two great States acted together
In founding this government Their
statesmen spoke i'll the same strain,
their soldiers bled on the same fields.
and now they are again united, and
loo king confidently forward to an I'M
interrupted career of glory, recown
and prosperity for their common coun-
try. Such feelings and sentiments lie
at the fUundation of the welcome,
which our Visitors are receiving from
all classes of people in this city, and
from such fountains the return stream
proceeds. Yesterday, Mayor Fox wei
coined the delegation to the city in Old
Independence Hall. Atthe conclusion
of that, they Were escorted to the Park,
and other places of interest, and ended
the day with social supper at the
Continental Hotel. The after pro-
gramme embraces still more prominent
marks of respect for the represents
tives of the Old. Dominion, who, in
this manner, will be made to forget ali |
that is unpleasant of the past. and d. |
rected into a future which Virginia |
and Pennsylvania will again act as
they did in l776, and through and af-
ter the revolutionary period. The |
centennial celebration will bridge the
ugly gap in our history, and those who
pass over it will look up and ahead,
and not downward. Virginia acted
in this matter of the celebra-
ton, and the reception of her delegates
and representatives is a proper res
ponse from the men of Philadelphia
aud the old Keystone State. Virginia
and Pennsylvania were united in 1916
in 1876 they are not divided.

Synopsis Of the Report.

The report of the San Domingo COM

pages. Much of it is merely descrip-
ton of the island, its products, and
the social and political condition of
the inhabitants. The material points
of the report have already been pub
lished. The commissioners say they
desired in the most friendly spirit to
make the observations and study .Df
Hayti, and its Inhabitants as they had
made of the Dominican republic. They
intimated to the president and his
council their dispositions and desires.
They stated even that they should sBe

upon San Domingo, and what were

people with respect to any changes
that might be brought about i'm the
neighboring republic, but they receiv-
ed no encouragement TO pursue their
inquiries. They asked verbally and
through our ministers iYi-writing for
permission to explore the interior of
the island, but this was.IBety in a. spi.-

LEGATIONS, looking to the interests of
both divisions of the island, they are
firmly persuaded the annexation ell
st. Domingo to the United States
would be hardly less beneficial to the
Haytien than to the Dominican poo
pie. This benefit would arise first
from the example which would doubt
less be, afforded of well regulated,
orderly and prosperous State-the
great need of that part of the world,
and which it has as yet never SEEM
A second and more direct benefit
would arise from the eiIuitable rstab- /
lishment of boundary line between
between the French speaking and the
Spanish-speaking nations upon that
island, and its guarantee. by a strong
power. This would end the eXhaus-

one of the greatest curses of Hayti and
