fine example of the faulty of the

The French Geographical Soci-
ETY. is making an effort to ascertain
if a canal between the Atlantic and
the Pacific is practicable, and its
expedition, under Lieutenant Wyse,
when last heard from, was examin-
ing the Isthmus of Panama in a
careful manner. All efforts of this
character are praiseworthy, but we
have doubts if any private expedi-
ton will be able to accomplish any
more than has already been achieved
by the United States government.
In his last report Lieutenant Wyse
says that the expedition, after re-
ceiying a very cordial welcome at
Martinique and in Venezuela, was
accompanied to the bay of San
Migual by the president OF the State
Of Panama. "Above Pinogana, which
is the extreme point at which the
tide of the Pacific ocean is per-
ceptible, the English engineer, Mr..
Brooks, who accompanied the ex-
petition, took soundings to the
depth OF the proposed canal,
and ascertained that the soil
consisted of clays Of different c%olors,
which might be used for making
bricks and pottery. When the
different brigades of men who we're
t. fake the levels had been properly
organized, Lieutenant Wyso and
and several others went forward to
the slopes of the Paya and the
Cucarica in order to conciliate the
Indians, and on his way he surveyed
the upper stream of the Tuyra. He
has ascertained that all the existing
maps of this part of the country
are full of errors, and take some
good observations as to the latitude
and longitude of certain places.

At a quarter after six an officer
raped for opdery tho crowd, that
had meantime strollcd out into the
passage, returned hastily, the Judge
took his seat on the bench, and the
jurors, with sober faces on which
was written Columns fate, entered
their box. There was a momentary
suspense, during which the pris.
oner, with open mouth, eyed the
jurors closely. When they had an
swerod to their names the foreman
stood up, and ip reply TO the usual
interrogatory, said they had found
Coburn guilty Of the %oifense
charged in the first count of the in
dictment. This announcement fell
on Coburn with a very noticeable
effect, and for an instant he seemed
to quake guler it as if stunned by
a sudden blow. Not far off during

WASHINGTON, March l0.-At a meet.
ing Of the senate committee on privileges
and elections this morning the case Of
WIN. P. kellogg, claimant for a seat in
the senate, from Louisiana. was taken
up. The Republican members took the
ground that the credentials presented by
Kellogg we're regular, and that he has
the prima facia title and should be sworn
ia and allowed to take his seat at once,
according to precedeuts established by
long usage. Any investigation as to which
Of the two rival governments in Louisi-
ana is the legal one should be deferred
until Kellogg has taken his seat. The
Democratic members hold hat while the
credentials on which Kellogg holds his
seat appear regular, they may BOT be so
in fact, as the committee have judicial
knowledge that there are two rival gov.
ernments in Louisiana, and therefore
these should be an investigation
to determine which Of them is
the legal one before any person
is sworn in as senator. The committee
adjourned to meet Monday, when the
case will again come up and some action
taken on the reports to the senate.
There will be a majority and minority
report, the former signed by Republi.
can and the latter by Democratic mem.
bers.
