A Congross Called In Paris to Conatler the Darien snd, Ntearagutn Ship-Canal Hchemes=Tho Arguments to He Presonted by tho Advoenten of tho Lutter. Correauondence of the Worl, Panta, March %—On the 15th of May a Con- Brese will meot fn the hall of the Geographical Society of Paris, aud under the Prestdency of M. de Lesseps, to acelde on the definite forin of onn of the grentest engineering projects of this century,—the unioti of the Aulantle ond the Pa- cifle by oshit-canat, France thinks she ought todo this work, or at lenst to bear n principal hand {n it; and ft fsaiMeult to galnaay her after hersuvremerervico to humanity in the cutting of tho Buez Canal, Nhols ontitled to a hearing anda full hearing, and she has her plans cttt and dried. ‘The Congress will peo kind of trt- bunal to decido chiefly which of the two rival Freneh schemes, both influenttally backed, shall ‘be finally launched on the market. One of the French schemes {8 for a canal by Darien, the narrowest part of the continent; the other, for a canal ‘by Nicaragua, where, as its suthors contend, by the utiNzation of the Inke and its outlet, the River San Juan, Nature can be made todo Nearly all the work, Local concessions have been obtained in ench case, aut provisional cotnpantes formed, which are ac dag. gersdrawn. Lamina positon to give the arg ments which one of these companter, the Nic- Brawtian, will bring before the Congresstounl bunal, The cutting of Darien, 9 mere neck of Innd, 1 of course, at first sight, the more plausible sclieme, more especially ne some engineers main- tain that it ean be done on the levels that is to any, aa at Suez, without locks. ‘The engineer of the Nicarazuno scheme, M, Blanchet, a pupil of De Leaseps, malntaiua tht, if thin were in any case conceivably possible, It would be tmprac- tenable, owlng to the enormous engiuecring diM- culties and consequent cost of execution. ‘The Cordiilerag oppose o most formidable rocky bar- rier at Darien, und to cut through them would be a tabor worthy of a race of Titans, Of the doz- ens of schemes proposed in the course of the last thirty years most lave niade shipwreck on this obstacle, Jtow are you to get through the Cor- dillerast By a tunnel, said Commander Self. ridge, of the United States Survey; but It would havo to bo miles in length, pierced In the solid rock, and, for a tunnel, almost inconcelyably high'and wide, to admit the passage of ships {n full soil, Moreover, it might tumble in at any moment fram one of those shocks of earthquake often felt at the isthmus, Make an open cuttin, then, says M. de Gogurza, another author of a Darien project; but such a cuttlius in its shal- lowest part would be of o depth more than double the hight of Notre Dame,—a perfect chosin sunk by human lator in the rock. Ono engineer, indeed, whose observation uppears to have been very subservient to his fancy and lis wishes, professed to have discovered a provi- dential dipin the Cordiileras,—o cutting made by Nature expreassly to enable blin to run hts eannl,—yet ft has never bean vosstble to dis- cover a trace of [t anywhere but on Ifa own mnp. The great United States surveying expe- dition organized by Maury afew years age to test this and other stutements, and to make comprehensive reports on all possible routes, sn nothing of the kind; aud the conclusion Is {nevitable that, If such depression existed inde- pendently of the map, it must have been som where on the head of the discoverer. At their lowest polnt in this reeion the Cordillerns aro feet above the tevel of the Puclile at the ‘The most plausible Darien scheme, that of Commander Selfridge, makes o detour to avold the worat diMeutties, Involves the use of locks and the cutting of a tunnel 8,200 metres in Jength,—tlie whole at an catiinate cost of 600,- 000,000 francs, which would bo sure to swell to 000,000 in execution. Under all thesd cir- cumstances, Darien, In. spite of the narrowness of the fsthmus, aecms to present most serious dfendtantages, not counting one which I have omitted to quote on the authority of the reports before me,—the extreme unhealthiness of the climate. ‘The laborers who made the Panama Colon Railway in that region died like files. There are no settlements worth speaking of on the isthmus near the proposed Iues of canals everything would lave to be erented; every obstacle of Nature and Art {s against the under- takingy—1 am atill maclng the ease for the prosecution os I flud) in the documents put forward on the Nicaraguan elde. And this brings me to thy mentipn of the great al- ternative achetne of M. Blanchet. Go ns little farther north than the fathmus, to the Lake of Nickraany says M. Blauchet, and you avold all these diflicultics. ‘The climate {8 goon,—the conntry compuratiyely well poopled., ‘There ts abundance of water in flne natural channel ready to your hand. You have only to connect the lake with the Pacific by ono Rhort entting, and to {mprove_the communication between the River San Juan and the Atlantic. This plan bears some general resemblance to the Ameri- ean plan of Lull and Menocal, though it still differs from it hoth in principle and in dotaila. M. Blanchet proposes to start from the Pacific at Port Brito; then, after reacting. the lake, shoot right across for the San Juan River, follow the rlyer for near {ts entire cottrse, and reach the Atlantic by a short cutting to San Juan del Norle. Port Brito and San Juan del Norte would, therofore, form the oxtremities of the cana Lull and Menocal propose pretty much the samo course; but where M. Blanctiet differs from them, and from all other projectors who have sugested this route, fs tn his propusal to prolong the Inke tu the adjacent valleys on cither aldo, and thus extend the area of Iake-communieation between ovean and uccan,—todo in fact what De Lesseps did at Suez with Fimeah and the Bitter Lakes. The tnuin polut tn all these Nicaraguan schqmes Ia the existence of the Jake, Hore is a vast sticet, of water stretching half-way across the neck of the continent; here, infact, Is holt your work douy by Nature, New, M, Blavehet goes further, nnd says that, with comparatively small tabor, you may virtually prolong this Inks fardown the Sau Juan Valley on the Atlantic side, and the Valtuy of tho Rio Grands on the Pacttic side, Then, a you anjronth the low-lying lunds at the outlet (the lake being of a higher level thinn tho adjacent ocean), you regulate the flow by 9 double series of tucks on the Atlantic xtde and a single series on the Pacifle ede.

Many men would bave been of the same mind, under the creumstances. Henry proposed, and was accented’, He hurried up the wedding, bo ing desirous to call the fnir widow his own, It ‘ts not to be ;supposed that a prospect of having all the money le wanted to spent had onything to do with his haste, The tovely Gunzer was ayain willing to favor him, and they were apcedily married.

This grows partly out of the present system of taxatfon and partly out of the coutraction of the currency. Igave my views on this subject the other evening at the Democratte caucus, 1 cannot now do inore than briefly refer you to what was then eatq. ‘The present foternal reyee nue system Is most unequal, najust, aud op- preesive not ouly upon States, but upon classes and {ndividuala.
