THE ARGUMENT CLOSED.

| The Pic1yune returns to the question
whether special session was part Of
the compromise. This time it files the
supplementary condition imposed by
Messrs. Zacharie g. Co. upon the compro.
mise adopted by the Conservative caucus.
In doing SO it has proved our position
that the Wheeler proposition was adopted
by the Conservative caucus without con-
dition.
The Picayune places Messrs. Zacharie
4 Co. in position which, unexplained,
may Go them injustice. It publishes that
on February rs they presented letter to
Mr.. Wheeler and the committee, in
which they assert that the caucus
had imposed the conditions of full
committee and special session upon
the Wheeler compromise. Messrs. Zach
arie 4 Co. had telegraphed on the twenty
second that notifications of the Wheeler
compromise had been submitted and re-
jected, and say ''no better terms" than
the Wheeler compromise "can be had
here" This is confirmed by other tele-
grams. We learn historically from the
Picayune that on the twenty-second of
February Mr.. Burke proposed ''his amend
ment to the Wheeler proposition" The
President declined to hear it. 1t was
carried to Mr.. Wheeler, who, having
heard the amendment, ''rejected it, he
adhering to his original proposition"
The caucus was advised, after the failure
of these amendments, to stake the
Wheeler proposition" Why or upon
what authority Messrs. Zacharie & Co.
told the Wheeler committee that
two conditions had been imposed by
the caucus upon the Wheeler proposition
we can not comprehend. They had just.
recommended the Wheeler plan net, and
it had been adopted by the caucus. There
even comes in subsequent evidence to
prove our position correct Mr.. Burke in
his speech before the caucus on the first
of March says ''your representatives did
not consider the difference between the
caucus proposition and the Wheeler prop
osition of sufficient Importance to the
Conservative caucus in defeating the COM
promise" Then there was difference
between the two propositions, and Mr..
Burke deemed it best to give up that diff
ference and take the W heeler plan net.
4. We do not doubt these deputies made
the best fAht that was in them to vary
the Wheeler plan. They even added to
the caucus resolutions conditions which
do not appear to have been voted on, or
to appear in the caucus journal at all.
This was a proof Of their zeal, but was
very far in excess Of their authority. 1t |
may be incumbent upon these gentlemen
TO explain whether they amended" the
action of the caucus OF whether these con-
ditions were amended" in the telegraph |
office, or by our pets Of the Associated
Press. Any way, the Wheeler committee
put stop to all new readings by requiring

TEE HEARTLEsS HEADLINER.

We suppose that the artist who illus
trates the Picayune with all the horrible
events which occur, did not originally
take delight in the miseries of his fellow
creatures. We may imagine the time
when, in infantile simplicity, he could
have mourned over even animal suffer-
ings and stood awe struck in the presence
of death. That phase of his nature has,
if it ever existed, passed away, and no
amateur attendant on the guillotine, no
military surgeon taking up arteries, and
slashipg off legs, ever felt more indifer-
ence, nay, never experienced more delight
at hopeless hemorrhage or compound
fracture than the humble headliner at any
calamity which can befall his species.
We make not this protest in the name If
humanity lightly or without due example.
d Another Of the numerous unfor-
tunates, in consequence of disaster or
pecuniary embarrassment. has leaped into
the Lethe of oblivion. Any average phi.
lanthropist would at once think of the
dread hereafter into which he had rushed
unsummoned. There would be naturally a
sorrow for those thus left dependent. The
horrible headliner regards the awful event
with professional eye. He seizes upon
it as a medical student would upon an
anonymous cadaver. He thus heralds it
to the shocked community: can old
French citizen blows the top of his head
off with a shotgun" Why French citi-
zen?" Is it any reproach to man to be
a Frenchman? Was he an unnaturalized
resident? Was the possibility that the
unfortunate man could not have voted
any excuse for speaking SO lightly Of his
Then this old French citizen
elbows the top of his head of" In point
Of physiological fact this was not so. Yet
what was this to q heartless headliner?

THE 1sTHMUs OF CENTRAL AMERICA.

| The government seems in earnest about
constructing artificial crossings from one
ocean to the other. The thorough recon-
noissance of the various routes satisfies the
scientific authorities that the Nicaragua
line is most feasible, though it will involve
very heavy expense in the preparation of
terminal ports, and in locking up and
down, to and from the lake. Still, the
undoubted summit supply of water will
insure the success of the work. The re-
ports heretofore received in regard to the
routes crossing below Panama, have been
very discouraging, both as to the cost and
practicability. The idea has been to
construct tidal canal, in connection
with rivers on each side of the isthmus.
The cuts or tunnels would be tremendous,
and the utilization of the rivers doubtful.
American perseverance and resource,
however, seems adequate to all emergen-
cies. A party under Captain Lull has
been dispatched, on the United Stutes
steamer Cana ndaigua, to survey the
Atrato- Napipi route, with view to the
application of new principle. 1t is to
linda summit supply of water adequate to
fill ship canal and its locks, SO as to
avoid the immense works necessary under
the idea of tidal canal. The summit
level Of the projected canal will be about
one hundred and thirty feet above
tide. A dam will be built to col
lect water for the supply of the
canal, and this summit height will be
locked over. This will occupy good
deal of time. ANY accident to the sum-
NIT supply would involve great loss upon
all the cargoes which might be in transit
at the time; still this would be great
saving over the route round the Horn.
The advantage of such a canal to New
Orleans would be very great, as it would
bring US within ten days of Guayaquil and
other ports on the west coast of the con-
tinent. The Nicaragua route would be
much more valuable to New Orleans and
the West, as this city would be the base
of supplies furnished almost exclusively
from the West.
1t is to be hoped that the Panama route
will also be constructed, because an
isthmus nearly two thousand miles in the |
extent of its coasts can not be accommo-
dated or developed by single line of
communication. It is very
gratifying to seq the American govern
ment directing its energies to opening |
foreign trade with the countries and |
islands of this continent. 1t need only
review its treaties with the governments
Of these countries, and commercial pro-
gress will commence which will enable |
the United States to control the whole |
trade of this continent, and compel |

the foremost rank of fish culturists. His
contributions to this paper have been no.
ted for their sensible matter of fact spirit.
We note that Fish Commissioners have
already met at Blacks5urg and procured a
site for Matching house, which is to be
Immediately constructed end employed
in Matching several hundred thousand
eggs of California salmon presented by
Prof Baird. By the middle of the month
the Virginia Military Institute will be-
similarly provided. The Richmond
Wing alludes to this subject as fol-
lows"
"The Matching house, near Blacksburg,
will be under the direct supervision of
Prof. Ellzey, of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College, and that at Lexing-
ton in charge of Col. Mcdonald, one of
the Professors at the Institute. At both
institutions the art of fish culture will be
introduced into the regular course Of
studies, and the zeal and science of
Prof.. Ellzey and Mcdonald guarantee
success.
I'VE hear it is the purpose of the Com
missioners to erect similar estaoli shment
next year at the University and at the
Hampton Academy, so that all four of
the State institutions may be employed in
disseminating practical knowledge of
this useful art, and, by sending forth an
nually a corps of experts, diffuse the
knowledge to every corner of the Com
monwealth. Nothing could better tend
to impress the whole population with the
Importance, not only OF prOpagatlng, put
also of protecting fish.
"We are glad to see that the FOREST AND
STREAM, the foremost fish and game pa
per in the Union, appreciates fully the
programme initiated by the Fish Com
missioners of this State in combining fish
culture with the State Colleges. This
movement by our Commissioners insurea
fish culture as permanent fixture in the
State, and with comparatively little cosr,
after the construction of the Matching
houses. The two Matching houses at the
Agricultural College at Blacks burg and
at the Military Institute, already in rapid
process of erection, will be run at very
small additional expense, and will every
year send forth corps of experts, who,
when supplemented by the University
and Academy, will disseminate the art
in every neighborhood in the Common
wealth.

The Atlanta correspondent of the
Chronicle and Sentinel thinks he sees in
the distance premonitory symptoms of a
division among the Changers of Georgia.
He says:
In recent conversation with farmer,
learned from him that the only advan-
tage he had ever derived from his asso-
citation with Patrons of Husbandry was
in the social pledges of economy and in
dustry; that in many instances he had
lost money by ordering from Grange
agents, being able to make better bar
gains with regular dealers. His impress
sion was, tina the organization having at
tanned considerable strength. was now
commencing to carry dead weights in the
way OF agents, caRvassers, Direct Trade
Unions, ect. So long as it confined itself
to economy, industry and the cultivation
of friendly relations with each other, it
was a good and profitable organization;
but when it undertook to organize and
carry out schemes of direct trade some
thing the combined trade of Georgia
could not effect, it was going beyond its
legitimate purposes and bringing reproach
upon its name.
