WASHINGTON, March. y.
The president to>day nominated
John R. Smith for postmaster at
Goldsborough, N. G.
Before the house inter oceanic
canal committee to-day M. de
Lessups concluded his explanati on
of the advantages Of the Panama
route. He expressed his gratifca
ton at the tone of. the presidents s
message Of yesterday, and
said he had telegraphed
his son in Paris that the message
assured the safety Of the canal.
Capt. Eads read a paper before
the committee advocating his ship
railway plan: He claimed that
such railway would cost only a
quarter to half as much as the ca
nal, could be built sooner,
would transport more vessels,
and do it faster, was cheaper to
maintain and could be constructed
in localities where canal could
not. Ships would float from the
harbor into a large cradle, which
would run up gradual in
cline ON to railway with
twelve rails, over which it would
be drawn by steam power. Any
seaworthy vessel would stand any
strain that it could be subject
ed to on this railway. M.
De Lesseps highly eomplimented
Mr.. Eads on his engineering
achievement. He did not wish to
discuss the plan of a railway. II
was not in his line. Many such
plans had been proposed, but none
was yet executed. The committee
then adjourned, and M. de Les
sups Immediately left for San Frans
cisco. "'. t9'ss3.9 .eaei ..... =, 7,
Among the documents sent to the
senate BY the president, relative to
the inter- oceanic canal, Is the re-
port of Secretary Evarts, setting
forth the entire diplomatic history
of the canals. The main point
brought out therein is that
our treaty with New Grenada
guarantees the independence OF
that republic and the neutrality Of
any line of transit that may be cons
structed through it between the two
oceans, and that this treaty was
made, not for the peculiar benefit Of
the United States, but for the ad-
vantage of all nations. Secretary
Evarts concludes that it may be ass
sumed that no negotiations will be
had between private projectors and
the Columbian government without
duly regarding the inevitable action
of the United States under this
treaty. t'a.1' t"as'ts f}Si

ter of acceptance by some Democratic as well
as Republican newspapers on account of its
omission to deal with certain topics of para
mount importance.
ITO what topics do they alude?" asked iGen-
eral Hancock, lighting cigar and planting
himself squarely in an armchair.
ITO free ships and a revenue tariff
s'There must be some mistake. If you look
at the letter You will observe that, in the first
place, it distinctly accepts the principles
enunciated by the convention as those l have
cherished in the past and shall endeavor to
maintain in the future. Further on there is
an express recommendation to encourage the
harmony and generous rivalry among our own
industries, which will revive our lapguishing
merchant marine, extend our commerce with
foreign nations, assist our merchants, manu-
fuoturers and producers to develop our vast

me that full acceptance of the platform, to-

"Still it is urged that more definite and
comprehensive statement of your personal
views of these subjects might be of great val
ue and advantage at this time"
81 do not think so" responded General Han
cock. II have, it is true, very definite views
clear to my own mind, at least-upon both
the topics you submit and, trust, upon 9TH

was not without serious deliberation that
concluded they had no proper place in the let

ferred on me by great party. Two consider
ations prevailed
First-That letter of acceptance was not
the right medinm through which to announce
my final judgment upon any great question de-
pending for its solution upon future legisla-

Second-That l had no right to mar the
present situation of the party by O set of ex-

The following letter to COL Forney is from a
Pennsylvania resident in Washington City:
WAsHINe1oN, d. O., July "a, 1SS0.-Dear

missing Union man, and I went into the laat
war for the preservation of the Union with
both my sons, and we did what we could to
preserve the Union and the Constitution as
handed down by the fathers. was in Kansas
with Governor Geary, and supported him twice
for governor of Pennsylvania. I was on Gen.
Grants staff for short time, and
twice supported him for the Presidency as
the savior of the Union and entitled to its
highest honoys, and now. as native Pennsyl-
vaniar, with associations strongly connected
with Gettysburg, and appreciating the heroic
and inestimable services of our superb SOL
dier' there, / am constrained to declare for
him, and mean to 10 mysbest to secure his
triumphant election. You would be surprised
to see the number of old Grant Republicans
here who are quietly for Hancock, and who
will make themselves felt before the campaign
is over. These men cannot be made to feel
that Hancock is a rebel at heart, and that if
elected he will be run by the South, or by
any other section. l am glad to gee that my
old friends (the Bullooks-B. Bullock's sonsl,
the most stalwart Republicans in PennsyI-
vania: and who did so much to give Lincoln
his great majority in Philadelphia. are now
heart and soul for Hancock. Who did more
to suppress the rebellion among your influen-
t'al citizens than this great manufacturing
firm? They raised, equipped and clothed
whole regiments of Union troops. and now
they wish to see the Union they helped to save
a living and glorious reality, covering with its
flag the most magnificent country upon the
earth, where peace, equality constitutional
liberty and generous fraternity shall be the
universal rule. Is it not worth great effort
to bring about such state of things? Yours
