LIE SuEUn county, though giving nearly a
thousand Democratic majority OH the State

ticket except Probate Judge and one COM

Jim Green to brace up little at home, in
stead Of devoting his great intellect to sup
porting Bill Washburn, the Republican bride

The Panama Canal,

To the Editor of the Globe:
The project to make General Grant presi-
dent OF the new ship canal company has
been eclipsed by the splendors of his re-
ception on the Pacific coast. Instead of be-
ing president of this grand international en-
terprise, he is more likely to be urged to be-
come again President of the United States.
But apropos of the canal route across Cen
tral America via Lake Nicaragua,
or the Nicaragua route, which
Gen. Grant favors in opposition to
the isthmus, or Panama route, think your
readers will find the following extract from
letter written by Commodore Matthew F.
Maury in 1866 very interesting. "Lieuten-
ant" Maury, as he was SO long called, OPP
posed the isthmus route, because sailing
vessels could not conveniently approach it
on account of 1.-THE calm belt about the
equator" This is the exact form of Mr..
Maury's letter: 'sThe results of
my investigation into the winds and currents
of the sea, and their influence upon the
routes of commerce, authorize the opinion
which have expressed before, and which I
here repeat, namely, if nature, by one of her
commissions, should rend the continent of
america IN twain, and make channel across
the isthmus of Panama or Darien, as deep
and as wide, and as free as the straits of Do
yer, 1t would never become commercial thor
oughfare for sailing vessels, saving the out
ward bound and those that conld reach it with
leading winds. Steamers would and coasters
might use it, but homeward bound vessels in
the China, Japan or Australian trade rarely.''
The authors knowledge of the winds, cur
rents and tides of the ocean entitle his opin-
ion to the greatest weight in favor of the
Lake Nicaragua route. Let us hope that
company may be successfully formed to
build the canal, and that General Grant NAV
be content with its Presidency, both to in
sure the success of what would be the grand
est achievement of the nineteenth century.
as we'll as to preserve his own great name
untarnished by the lost liberty of bis country.

a Terrible Death.

a boy ~ years old, son of A. Johnson, living
three-fourths of mile from the Wild Rice riv-
or, just south of Fort Abercrombie reservation,
was sent on Friday morning last by his father
to the river to water his horses. The boy rode
on one and led the other by his side. While
the horses were drinking he thouehtles.ly tied
the halter of the horse he was leading around
his own neck, and when starting from the river
on his return to the stable he was jerked off
the horse he was riding and the frightened ami
NAL ran all the way to the stable. dragging the
unfortunate boy the entire distance. When
released by the Mortified father his son had
breathed his last. The body was terribly mu-
tllated, and presented CHASTITY sight.

of the above deserves notice. The use of
spasters' is as common on election day as
the use of lead pencils. 1t is simply con-
venience in scratching. Pillsbury issued
pastors with his name, in large numbers, and
there has not been Republican candidate
in ten years who has not resorted to this
wonderful "fraud" which Bill King has I'M
earthed. In the late campaign in New
York pastors for Cornell and Kelly

The remedy is not clear to this body, but they

law can be violated and the strict letter complied
by parties who have no regard or respect for its

ted the reduction of costs and expense in all the

and advance the farming and mechanical inter-
ests of the Country. AS q Candidate now he is
called "Cheap Bacon" and we would add to
this, cheap corn, cheap salt, cheap money and
cheap Justice. The only objection made to him
is that he is blind. In reply to this, we would
say that the most enlightened of the ancients,
worshiped the Image of Justice, as blind. That
Homer, the grandest poet among the refined
Greeks, was blind that his fame survives the
