MORE SECESSION,

The news is--that the people OF Cauca
and Antioquoia are anxious to follow Fan
ama's example, seeding from Colombia,
and becoming part of the lsthmian Re
public. Cauca lies next to Panama, ana
though separated from the 1sthmus by
high range of mountains extending from
ocean to ocean. it has free communication
with Panama by the way of the Pacihc.
1t is in effect long, narrow shelf, extend
ing along the Pacific for 500 miles, with
the lofty range of the Cordillera Occiden-
tai following the curve of the ocean at
distance of about 100 miles.
Cauca will benefit more than any other
part of Colombia by the construction OF
the canal. since its only outlet is the Pa
cific. 1t being the most northern part of
South America is. of course, farthest from
Cape Horn, and its products have to make
the longest and most roundabout journey
to seek the markets of the world.
The Province of Antioquoia lies up in
the mountains, remote from the sea shore,
but the people are styled the Yankees of
South America," and have more enterprise
anu any OtbCiS III ehS AsSpuo
lie. They are anxious for trade and COM
merce with the United States, and recOg-
nize their best opportunities as lying with
this country rather than with the turbulent
Colombians.
: The latest statistics give Antioquoia an
area of 22,316 square miles, or about the
same as that of West Virginia, with a
population of 470.OO0-about 21 to the
squire mile This, it will be seen, would
make a very respectable State. The
Province of Cauca is much larger, and has
257, ,462 square miles, or about the size of
Texas, with population of 621 600. 1t
is much more thinly settled, however, the
average being but "a persons to the square
mile
If these two Provinces should unite
themselves with Panama, it would take
away from the United States of Colombia,
81. .349 square miles of the total OF 504,-
173 of the Republic, or just three-fifths,
and .316, coo of the total of 3,3S1 900
population, or about one-third of the total
population.
Should the secession of these two
provinces be as easily accomplished as
that of Panama. and there is no substan-
tial reason why II should not there is iii
tie doubt that the rest Of the States would
follow, and probably the whole country
become territories annexed to the United

Numbers running into the millions are
very difficult for the mind to grasp. By
reducing to the lowest terms they will be
easier TO understand. Put in its simplest
fornl-for every S30S which man lent
the Government during the trying period
of 1862, he received back in the course of
few years, $S21; making profit on his
loan of over $513.
This exceedingly liberal way in which
the Government treated the men who lent
it money forms strong contrast to its
treatment of the men who gave something
incomparably more precious than mere
perishing, unstable paper dollars and
cents.
Even this startling showing does not
wholly cover the financial history of the
Government in trying to get funds to sus-
tain itself during that awful year which
was marked by the failure of the grand
campaign against Richmond, the sorrow
full defeats around Washington, the un-
paralleled slaughter at Fredericksburg, the
sickening carnage at Stone River, and the
bitter repulse of the movement against
Vicksburg.
1t had to go into the markets again and
again for short-time, hand-to-mouth loans,
for which it paid $31, ,147, ,265.76 interest in
gold, in addition to that which we have
given above.
This will do for 1862. Next week we
will take up the financial history of 1868

THE NEW CANAL TREATY.

This is emphatirally a business Admin
istratiOn, and no time was lost in conclud-
ing a new canal treaty with the Republic
so far as they have been given out, seem
entirely satisfactory to the United States,
while equally just to the little Republic.
Advantage is taken of the experience gain
ed by the discussion of the Hay-Herran
treaty in the Senate to remove some Of the
the absolute cession Of zone from 16 to
20 miles wide through which the projected
canal is to pass. This will give us in per-
petuity complete sovereignty over a strip
of eight or 10 miles wide on either side
of the canal, with, Of course, all rights to
fortify and do any other thing necessary
to the construction, complete projections,
and proper management of the canal.
The cities of Panama and Colon retain
their municipal autonomy, and their con-
nection with the Government of Panama,
but we have an overlordship with regHrd
to the maintenance of order and the sani-
tary system, which permits US to do Or
compel to be done all things necessary in
those matters. In effect, the Republic of
Panama, with relation to the zone through
which the canal passes, occupies the posi-
ton of one of our States or Territories, as
to the permanent cession of land to the
Government for forts, dockyards, or other
National purposes. Outside of this strip.
her sovereignty is unquestioned, and will
be protected by us, while inside the strip
she still retains such local control as may
be necessary for State and municipal pur-
poses. Probably its relation is more like
that of one of our States to the Counties
Republic Of Panama, the S10,000,000 that
we offered to pay the United States of Co
lombia together with the annunity. This
will put the Treasury of the little Re
public in very good shape, and enable it
to make improvements and carry out en-
terprises which have long been regarded
as necessary, but which it has been unable
to do, owing to the rayenous appetite of
the Bogota officials absorbing all the
money that could be squeezed out of the
Isthmians.
1t was not desired by our Government
that the Capital of Panama should be es-
tablished in either Panama or Colon, but
the people of Panama were insistent that
it should be and, the contrary was not
urged. There are, Of course, many places
in Panama which would make excellent
sites for the National Capital, but the mat
ter is not OF much Importance, as the Re
public, no matter what may be said about
it, will assume similar place to that of
Hawaii and Porto Rico, becoming de
facto, if not de jure, a Territory Of the
United States.

If we add to this the immense profit
from the enhancement of the gold value of
the loan from 3S.7 cents upward, we shall
ind that the lucky lenders of greenbacks
received, in principal and interest, from
two TO three times as much money as they
lent. The highest gold value of the green
backs they lent the Government in this
