DIssATIsFIgp.-General Wickham and Il
delegation from Richmond who had been In
Washington endeavoring 10 prevent the
nomination Of DIR. Gilmer for postmaster at
Richmond, and who had failed in their
efforts. missed through here yesterday eve
ming on their return home, much dissatis-
fed with the action OF the President IN the
matter. Judging from the earnest manner
ip which the members OF the delegation eX.
pressed their disapproval Of the nomination
OF friend of General Malone for The posi-
ton alluded to, 1t is safe 10 say that the Ma
hone party In the State will have TO leave
out III their calculations for success next
fall the Wickham wing OF the Republican
party. Alexandria Gazette.
"Tbe WICKBAM wing OF the Republican
party" cast eighty thousand votes last fall.
III, therefore, the men Of that wing are
united in their opposition to General Ma
HONE, he will come out this year, as last, at
Z. the little end of the horn"
But our decided opinion is, and has been
or good while, that "the WICKHAM wing
OF the Republican party" will be missing
altogether next November. The most OF
[ is late adherents will march under the ban
ner Of General MALONE. A few will sulk
their tents. But the mass Of the party
nine.tenths being negroes will glory in
heir new MOSES.

The Alexandra Gazette talks out in meet
ing. Ii says:
MISREPRESENTATION is the first law Of ma
ture, and many Of Virginia's debt-paying
Democrats think it better that the entire
debt be repudiated than that their party,
upon whose supremacy the best interests
OF the State depend, should be destroyed
and the State itself turned over to negro
rule and consequent utter ruin, for ii Is mol
natural to suppose that $4,000 negro voters
will allow the comparatively insignificant
number Of white men who vote with them
to control the offices aud affairs OF the

adiuster meeting held in that county last
SATURDAY. Read the report, and see # ii

1t was indeed mass-meeiing-a mass

and one other, whose name wc do not
know.
The meeting was repetition, in worse
form, Of the motley meetings OF RidlcallSm
in its worst DAYS. Clay Harris was the
master.and dictator OF the meeting. what
he advocated was dOne-what he opposed
had no chance Of success. There was no
one in the assembly who could successfully
oppose him as Il leader. Here We drop a
tear 10 the memory OF J. Il. StOvall, Sr.
Radical as he was, when tie occasion DE-
manded, be did not hesitate to take nOld Oh
CLAW Harris aud shake him until he and his
sable followers felt and acknowledged the
superiority of the white man 10 the negro.
Alas! in tue ReddiuSler meeting at the
csui |. house last Saturday there was no one
who could do this. The chairman was IN
full sympathy with Harris; if not, he had
no power, a. j. Il. Stoyall, ST., in his life

but abandoned in less than year on ac-
count OF the ravagcs Of disease among the

The topographical features Of the pro-
posed route may be briefly sketched thus:

westward 10 the billy region leading up TO

by the lake, covering some 1000 square
miles. surface level 10I feet above

cal route for canal would be by way OF tue
Tarifa Pass, whose surface i about 700 feet

All OF these proposed work, are OF cyclo-
pean magnitude; but that magnitude viii
hardly appal the modern engineer and c1pi-
talist as long aS the remuneration 10 follow
the completion OF any one Of them IS mat
ter beyond question. And indeed the
modern engineer my well he encouraged
BIZ comparison of these gigantic uuderak-
Ings with the achievements Of ancient engl-

To conclude this rfSum6 Of the COMPARE

several routes proposed: It i evident that
while the conSumm,tIOn OF any or of all the

concerned in the Niclraguan project.
