WAsHINeToN. April 12.-Tbe relation be-
tween Mr.. Tilden and II. H. Finley, who is
strongly suspected Of being the author of
the anonymous letter to Mr. Springer, was
related to your correspondent to-day BY a
prominent Democrat, whose knowledge of
this relationship is, or at least ought to be,
accurate. Finley was at one time sent to
Iowa as Tildens agent. For his services
there Tilden paid him literally and dis
missed him, and since that time has had
nothing to do with him. Finley, however,
has taken pains to give out the impression
that he is still a confidential agent of Til
den, with view to sustain his reputation
as skillful and prominent lobbyist In
this he was uniformly successful till Mr..
Sprlnger's expos tion compelled Tilden to
deny him.

Hampton, Cockrell, Davis, Thurman and
Gordon. Judge Davis holds that the case
has been already adjudicated, and that the
Ecnate has not the jurisdiction to take it
mp again. Mr.. Jonas. on the other hand,
demands that it be reached without delny,
and threatens that if Kellogg be allowed TO
retain the seat, he (Jonas) will do nothing
more to help carry Louisiana for the DEM

will not be removed.
ANOTHER IsTHMUs CANAL ROUTE.
Major Sidney F. Shelbourne and Mr..
Frederick w. Kelley appeared before the
1nternecine Canal Committee Saturday in
favor of a new project for an Isthmus Ca
nal. They have selected a'route sorth OF
the Panama route directly across the 18th
mas from the Gulf Of San Bias to the Bay
of Panama. The length of the route is
thirty miles; the length of the De Lesseps
route is forty-five miles. BY the use of the
Bayano River, which affords navigation for
six miles, twenty-five miles only Of the San
Bias route requires cutting. The harbors
on each side are excellent.
To pass the cordilleras Mountains tun-
mel seven miles in length is projected. The
calculations Of the engineers show that IT,
excavate canal according to the San Bias
survey will require the removal of $685.
058 cubic yards Of rock and 4,475,O94 cubic
yards Of earth. The cost Of making ship
canal along this route would cost, as est-
mated by the projectors, sS5, ,6O4, S22. Six
years would be required to complete it.
Like the projected canal by the Panama
route, 1t is TO be a sea-leval canal.
