Washington correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Times. who get big checks every
quarter, and of the amounts set opposite
their names, would be much more infer
esting, and might lead to more results
than the exposure of the names of hum
bic pensioners, which was recently made
by order of Congress at great expense
and trouble. A friend Ofmine who gained
a glimpse into the treasured tome at the
department says the country would be
surprised at the wives and daughters of
men either bankrupt or in embarrassed
circumstances, who figure in the list as
the holders of big blocks of these safest of
securities. A young lady of Philadel-
phia is down for 1880, 900, and two in
Baltimore for $1,500,000 each. To pub
lish their names would set too many
young fellows wild. If Congress wants
to make a sensation, let it order this list
published suddenly, before there is a
chance TO alter or Withdraw any names,

has arrived at New Orleans, saws dis
patch to the New York Times, after a
weeks stay at Aspinwall. Lieut.. kim
ball, of that vessel, was also there one
year ago, and both times he inspected the
entire work which was being done on De
Lesseps' Panama canal. He saws that
since last year a great deal of work has
been done, and at present every section
but two has been let out to contract
ors. These two embrace difficult
portions and are being constructed
by the company. Work is being ra-
pldly pushed all along the line Between
$4,000 and 10000 Jamaica negroes are en-
ployed under the direction of the French
engineers, Several large American
dredging machines are being used. The
Panama road is brought into play to trans
port material, while for the dump rail-
way to draw the excavation away nearly
$50 new locomotives have been contracted
for. Great difficulty is being encountered
in the Chagres river, which crosses the
canal at right angles. The engineers have
determined to dam it up entirely. and dig
an entry near the new channel for it into
the gulf, parallel to the line of the canal
AT the rate work is going on the canal
will be ready for opening in five or six
years. The French director at Aspinwall
has been assured that money enough will
be furnished to push the enterprise vigor-
ously to completion.
Senator Frye, in a conversation, eX-
pressed his opinion that the control of the
interoceanic canal is one of the most i'm
portant questions now before the Ameri-
can people. He believes that our govern
ment cannot afford to allow any foreign
power to control such canal, as it would
give them the command of the Pacific
Ocean, and must sooner or later result in
war for its control. He is a strenuous
advocate OF a Nicaragua canal built by
the United States, but he believes that a
proper assertion of our rights is necessary
10 oruer TO prevent French or any other
european power from obtaining control
OF the Panama isthmus. Lieut.. RODGERS
OF the Tennessee, has forwarded TO the
Navy department report upon the pres
ent condition of the canal, setting forth
Its status in detail. The Tennessee was
expected to leave New Orleans for the
East, but Unexpectedly Admiral Cooper
has been ordered TO sail for Vera Cruz.

SENATOR JONES' BONANZA.
An Interesting Story About How He
Struck His Fortune.

An Interesting Story About How He
Struck His Fortune.
Gen. Beale once told me an interesting
incident, says the Washington cOrrespon.
dent OF the Philadelphia Press, about the
foundation of Senator Jones' fortune
very great at one time, but very small
now. He said that Jones was the super
intendent of the Crown Point mine. in
Nevada. He dug and dug and dug. but no
returns came. He sunk shafts, opened
drifts, tunneled chambers and stead
lily sunk the capital of the COM
pany, besides assessment after as
sessment. He went regularly every
month to San Francisco to report TO the
directors. At last they got tired of the
old report-''No ore in sight; no prOnise.v
One day they told Jones to ''stop the
damned thing and let it CO." "No," said
Jones, ''let me work the month out. The
last assessment has been made and paid.
and it is enough to pay my months ex
penses." SO they reluctantly told him TO
90 ahead. He went back to his work.
and in less than fortnight he struck an
enormous vein, or bonanza. The stock of
the mine at once jumped from 50 a share
to several thousand dollars share,
Jones' little piece of advice to the direc
tors IN San Francisco made him million
aire, and did much more for them. Of
what little things the world is made.

The New York Tribune is level-headed
when it says: at has been wisely said
that the Republican National convention
ought to be deliberative body. AS n
rule, national conventions are something
else. But 1t would not be well this year
to have the Republican nomination made
either at hap-hazard or by the grinding
of any machine, or in any mere gush Of
personal enthusiasm. 1t is pre-eminent-
ly an occasion which calls for delibera-
tion-for candid recognition and careful
weighing of facts and reasons. This is
true because the Republican party is no
longer in much danger from its oppon-
ents; its chief danger is that the Repub-
lican voters themselves may not be salts
fed. 1t is the fact that they are not
much in the humor to vote for nomina-
tion that they think unfit. 1t has seemed
to them for some years that the objects
for which the Republican party is main
tanned were, in some cases, lost sight Of
too much in the struggles of individuals
for position. A nomination that seems
to imply any surrender or betrayal OF
the convictions of sincere and patriotic
Republicans, 1t must be obvious, would
endanger the success of the party far
more than anything the Democrats have
power to do.
