Of American opposition. It is given out
that the American Minister OF Marine.
one Of the constitutional advisers Of the
President, has been won over by Q
salary Of $25. 900 yearly. The impress.
sion is created that should the services
OF other officers in the Cabinet or favor.

they can be bought for money. In q
word, Frencbmen are assured that no op.
position to De Lesseps' scheme in tho
United States can prevail against the use
Of money. Frenchmeu are told that
large subscriptions to the Panama
scheme arc being made In the United

impression that in consolidating tho
municipal governments Of Gold Hill and

that Gold Hill will be wiped out
entirely and made q portion OF Virginia

be effected, Gold Hill will still bs known
as Gold Hill, same as 1t was before 1t

Divide will still be the natural dividing

tity and not be merged into or swallowed

will DO about Is we'll looked after and

and saving in the proposed eOnsolida-
ton will be to Virginia.
This consolidation idea is not new. by
any means. 1t was proposed seventeen
years ago. and has been brought up &C.
c~ssionally ever since. Gold Hill has
always opposed it as Of no advantage

posal with disiavor and suspicion. The
