fortieth Congress—'Third Session. 1 CLOSE OF YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. | Senate.— Mr. Bumnor moved to take up the joint resolntion granting a pension to Mrs. Lin coln. Carried. ~ . ..... Mr. Snmner moved to fill the blank with the words “five thousand dollars.” Mr. Conkllng asked for the rending of the re port of the Committee on Pensions on the reso lution, which was read. It seta forta that tho committee see no legal ground upon which Mrs. Lincoln's request can be granted. Mr. Davis said he could not vote for the reso lntion, because it proposed a dangerous Innova tion on our pension law. Mr. Conntss moved to amend by striking out “pension,” and Inserting '‘allowance.” He thought that by putting the appropriation in that form no one would object to it. Mr. Hendricks eonld not vote an allowance.be canse it would be introducing into the United States tho mischievous system of government an nuities, which had been found so oppressive to tho people of other countries. Mr. Howard was in favor of grnntlng Mrs. Lin coln a pension as the widow of the Commander in-chiel,slain by an assassin acting in the interest ot the rebellion. Mr. Van Winkle said he-was in favor o£ grant ing her an annuity in some other form, when he was satisfied she needed it. Messrs. Morton and Tates were in favor of granting her a pension. Mr. Van Winkle stated that he had been in formed Mrs.-Lincoln got $30,000 outof her hus band’s eßtate, which, with the balanco of hlB salary for the year in which he was killed, gave her $50,000, a very comfortable sum, he thought, for a single lady, whose children were grown up and Otherwise provided lor. Mr. ConnoßS withdrew the amendment, and was willing to vote for the appropriation us a pension, allowance, payment, or anything else, so that Mrs. Lincoln should get the money. Ibr. Patterson (N; H.) stated that he had been a member of the committee in the House, to which the flrßt proposition to grant Mrs. Lincoln a pension bad been referred, and he remembered fret Judge Davie, the executor of Mr. Lincoln's estate, had stated before the committee that he 'had divided among the members of the family $70,000. Mr. Snmner stated that he had proposed to fix the earn at $5,000 per annum, first, because if the proposition made very soon after Mr. Lin coln’s death, to give his widow his salary for the whole of hie term had been carried ont, the in terest Oh that salary would bo about $5,000 a year; and second, because the Senators had voted themselves each an annual salary of $5,000, and he did not see how they could well vote a less snm as a provision for tho widow of the mar tyred President. Mr. Ferry here moved to take np the regular order of business, the Washington market bill. Mr. Nye appealed to him to let the Senate vote ■pon the resolntion to give Mrs. Lincoln a pen sion. The market bill was merely of local In terest, while the action of Congress In regard to the other would go out to the country and to the world. Mr. Ferry’s motion was carried—yeas 21, nays 19—and the Washington market bill was before the Senate. Mr. Morton moved to suspend the order and take np toe bill repealing the Tenure of Office act, which it was very necessary should pass within a day or two. Mr. Edmunds also desired to have the bill acted upon, and Mr. Sherman also wished it disposed of, saying he was in favor of unconditionally repealing the Tenure of Office act. Mr. Ferry hoped the market bill wonld be acted upon, as it was intended to give the people of Washington decent market accommodations. After further discussion as to the order of busi ness,-Mr. Fessenden, despairing of getting any thing done to-day, moved to adjonra, bat after wards substituted a motion to proceed to the con sideration of executive business, which was carried; so at 2.45 the Senate went into exeentive session, and soon after took a recess until 7 P.

Tbe hostilities, which threatened to break out in the East, have been prevented by a conference of the great Powers at Paris. “The hope is expressed that tho negotiations with the United States will place on a firm and durable basis, tbe friendship which should evor exist between England and'America. “The disturbances in Now Zealand are to bo re gretted, bnt toe Qneen is snre that prudonco and moderation on the part of the government will pievent a recnrrenceof such nnhappy events. “The estimates which will be laid before tbe House oi Commons by the ministers are framed od the basis of economy, coupled with efficiency, in the administration of the service. Tbe con tinued suppression of the writ ot habeas corpus in Ireland Is regarded}as unnecessary. “Tbe eccleslas tlc'arrangoments for Ireland are to be considered by Parliament.” On this sub ject the Queen concludes as follows : “I am persuaded that a careful regard will be had to tbe interests involved, and that through tbe application of principles of equal justice to tbe question beforo them, that Parliament will seenre tbe undivided feeling of the people of Ire land on the side of loyalty and law, effaco tho memory of post contention, andcherlßh the sym pathies of an affectionate people.” Tlie insurrection tn Cuba.

Military trials are also re stored. General Dulce has threatened with se vere punishment those who continue in rebellion after the leniency and amnesty extended to them. Many Spaniards, as well as the lower classes of the people, are opposed to tho policy adopted by Dnlce. The members of the Cuban party are alarmed, and continue to fly from the Island in large numbers. Gold Is quoted at 8 percent, premlnm. Tbe citizens are to raise $25,000,000 for the go vernment. Five battalions of volunteers arc or ganizing. Representations have been sent to Washington in regard to imprisoned American citizens. Dnlce has refused to listen to appeals in their behalf by the American Consol, becansa the latter is considered to have no diplomatic character. Tbe Spaniards threaten to exterminate the dis loyalists who continue In revolt after the amnesty proclamation. In this respect the soldiers sym pathize with the Spaniards, and neither the vol unteers nor thfigovernment will be able to pro tect the memwrs of the revolutionary party from violence. Tho rebel forces in the districts of Villa Clara and Cienfuegos nnmber over 5,000. They are divided into three parties, one near Cienfuegos, another near Caminaguio, and a third near Manlcaigua. They have de stroyed the railways and telegraph lines. Great contusion prevailed at Trinidad. Railroad and telegraph communication with that city Is cut off. Great numbers of yonng men are leaving the cities and joining the rebellion. An engagement took place at San Cristoval. The rebels were commanded by Garcia Presto.

Twelve persons have been arrested at Cardenas, among them tbe British Consul. Ad vices from Santiago to the 6th instant have been received. Heavy rains had fallen, and had pro duced mnch Blcknees among the troops, and military operations were suspended in conse quence. The arrival of troops from the army of Valmaseda had baffled a plot of toe Creoles, who intended lo take the city by surprise on the fol lowing Sunday. The antagonism between the parties in that city was increasing, and an out break was imminent. The police, being unpaid, have abandoned their dnty. The eholera is raging with increased violence. A grand parade of the volunteers will be held on Sunday week. Alcaldo Eevy and some prom inent notaries have been arrested. The Banco subscribes $450,000 to equip and Bustaln volun teers.

A portion of the volunteers have arrived at Gebnra from Holquin, and the rebels have disap peared from that quarter. The Remains of Willies Booth. The special Washington despatch to the In quirer ot Feb. 16 says: Yesterday President Johnson directed an or der to issue from the War Department to deliver the remains of John Wilkes Booth, interred at the Arsenal, to the undertaker from Baltimore, and the Secretary of War having Issued such on older, the undertaker immediately proceeded to the Arsenal, when General Ramsey gave the ne cessary directions, and the remains were ex homed and placed In a wagon and started to No. 3155 F street. Mr. Weaver came here on Friday last with a letter Irom Edwin Booth to the President,making a request for the remains. President Johnson, alter reading it, requested him to call yesterdav, when he would give an answer. The letter was'a Tery short one, and stated that he (Mr. Booth) had every confidence in Mr. Weaver, who would place the body in his private vault until the re mains could De transferred to the City Cemetery, near Baltimore, and placed beside those of their father. He also requested, in behalf of his af llicted mother, the return of the trunk of his brother. Yesterday, according to promise, Mr. Weaver, with Mr. Harvey, waited on the President, and a proper order for the body was given, and as be fore Btated, they proceeded to the arsenal, whero the body was taken up and delivered to them abbut five o’clock. On arriving at the arsenal, it was found, notwithstanding every precaution had been tukon to keep the removal secret, that a number of persons who surmised that something was going on, had gathered about the door and to avoid the crowd, the remains were taken to the stable of the firm, it being the very same In which Booth kept his horse, and fronting on tho alley trom whence he made his escape after the murder of the President. Here a common deal unpointed coffin was brought forth, and the tnuins were placed init to bo takon to Baltimore. The box In which the remains were otiginallv interred was much decayed, and on its top was found a painted board, with Booth’s name and on taking off the lid the remains were found ’to be wrapped in two.or three gray blankets, and In a fine state of preservation. The coat and vest were In a good condition, as also the pantaloons, ex cept that the portion of one leg appeared to have been cuf off. The cavalry boot on the left leg was in extra good condition, looking to be nearly new. and the shoo on the right loot, a com mon brogan, which he procured at Muad’B house had a slit cut down tho front, but was otherwise in a good condition. In conseqnenco of the want of time, there was I lit little examination of the remains made at the Hable, but it was observed that the head was not fonnected with the body, and that one or two'of the vertebiai, as also the amall bone of the leg were missing. It was also observed that the hair of tho deceased was In a good state of preserva tion, the long curly locks looking as if they had been subjected to the barber’s hands. Mr. Weaver left with tho remains in tho half-past seven o’clock truin last evening, and took them immediately to hiß establishment, on W. Fayette street, and to day will place them in one of his palent caskets covered with black cloth and silver mounted and place them in his vault, at Groenmount, to a’wait the urrival of the relatives.

INTEROCEANIC COMMUNICATION. Proposed canals for the Isthmus—His tory of Former' Plans—What the Spaniards ‘Proposed-eanats ami ftallroads in nicaragaa, Honduras, TeJbauntcpec, Ac. - «»r * A - * The attentions of the fiatileßt' fexplorert "of the American continent were' drawn to the project of an inter-oceanic canal across the Isthmus,because oi the remarkable depression of the Isthmus plateau, hear the basin of the Coatzocoalcos river, which rises in the Cor dilleraaaßd runß into the Gulf of Mexico, in latitude 17 deg. N .and longitude 95 deg. W., and when in 1771 it was discovered that can non made in Manilla bad been taken to San Juan de Ulloa by the valleys of the Chima lapa and Coatzoacoalcos rivers, many ex travagant scheme; were proposed and dis cussed,' and' expensive surveys made to de termine the feasibility of such an under taking, but without any definite result or final action. At the first Consideration of the subject, it would seem that the shortest route between the oceans would present the most favorable route for a canal, provided no insurmountable obstacles were encountered. Yet we find that elaborate surveys and expensive expe ditions have been made and carried on over a belt of the Isthmus, reaching from latitude 7 deg. to 18 deg. north. Tne great Central American Isthmus may be described as a chain of isthmuses, being in tact formed of several narrow necks connecting large swells, or lobes of extensive areas, so that it were somewhat indefinite to say in general the Isthmus; and accordingly we have the Isthmus of Panama, at the Bay of Panama; the Isthmus of Darien at the Aisato River; the Isthmus of Nicaragua at the Lake of Nicaragua; the Isthmus of Honduras at the Bay of Honduras, and the Isthmus of Te huantepec at. Tehuantepec, and many ex plorations have been made across each of these isthmuses, and also at the intermediate points. An examination of the map of the Central American Isthmus, shows that the general trend of the Pacific coast thereof is northwest and southeast, and runs nearly straight, but that the Atlantic coast has a very irregular shore line,and’that between Tehuantepec and Honduras, GuatemSfe and Yucatan form one of the lobes of the isthmus, and that the Mueqnito Coast shows another lobe as men tioned above, both reaching well out toward the east. It will also bo observed that the great axial mountain range/ the Cordilleras, connecting the mountain systems of the country, lies near to, and par allel with, the Pacific coast. This mountain system is the great obstacle in the way of the realization of a ship canal. It may be easy enough to follow a river valley to its head in the mountains, bat to cross them in the or dinary way by a mountain summit level, is almost impracticable, because there is no drainage basin or area availab e for supplying the high summit level with water, and tney could only be tunneled at an elevation where the lull sized river could be diverted into the tunnel level; and when we consider the great height of opening of a tunnel that would al low, the largest sailing vessels to pass through, the Hoosac or Mt. Ceniß tunnel, or oven tne proposed tunnel under the Straits of Dover, may be, either of them, a less undertaking. To notice all the routes that have been pro posed or surveyed would require more space than is consistent with the character of this article, and we will describe, in general, the conditions of one or two of the most feasible routes. FASAMA. Ever since the year 1 532, twenty-three years after the first settlement in America, the line of communication over this Istbmus has been by Lhe valley of the Chagres river, between Chaereß and Panama. The Panama Rail road now occupies this line very nearly, the surveys for which established the fact that the difference of level of the two oceans is so little as not to be an obstacle to the construc tion of a ship canal. In 1843, M. Garctta, Chief Engineer of Mines, mode a careful survey by the valleys of the Cbagres and Bernardino rivers. The highest point gained was -itiO feet above the sea. He proposed a tunnel 326 feet below the summit, and 136 leet above tide, three and one-eighth miles long, berths summit level was to be nearly five miles long. <>o the Atlantic side eighteen locks were pro posed, and on the Pacific side seventeen, This line was 36 miles long. The main dif ficulty was in supplying water to the sum mit level. The section of the canal being necessarily great, and the available drainage surface limited, it is doubtful whether any system of reservoirs could be provided that would be sufficient for the needs of such a canal, and this remark applies to all Isthmus cauals with locks. The terminal harbors are Navy Bay. on the Atlantic side, and the Bay of Yacadel Monte, on tue Pacific side, neither of which is suitable or adequate for the purpose of canal connection. There are three other prominent routes across this isthmus, viz.: From Bayonas river to the Gulf of Manzanilla; from Caledonia Bay to the Gulf of San Miguel, and from Atrato to San Miguel. The first crosses the narrowest part of the isthmus, but the hostility of the native Indians has prevented, until very recently, an exami nation of this route. In 18G4, Mr. Kelly, of New York, made a successful expedition by this route, the result of which showed that the distance was thirty mi)e6. He proposes a tunnel seven miles long, through the mountains: the whole canal at the level of the sea, with tidal locks to control the flow of the tide in the canal. His plan does not indicate any lift locks. The terminal bays are described as being of sufficient depth and room for necessary road steads. The second route lies between harbors said to be admirably adapted to the necessities of the canal termini. The earliest settlements in America were made near this route, and at Agla on Cale donia Bay, and here was the scene of the many buccaneer raids on the earlier Spanish settlements. Many expeditions have been set on foot in Great Britain, France and the United States, with the purpose to explore this route, none of which have had satisfactory success. A thrilling account of the expedition of Lieut Strain, of the U. 8. Navy, and its failure, may be found in Harper's Monthly Magazine for January, 1868. Dr. Cullen describes this route as being quite practicable; there being no lift locks; the distance twenty-seven miles, and the mountain section an open cut two miles long and only 160 feet deep; and the plains of the river drainage reaching quite op to the foot of the mountain ridge. TRnt. iese statements aro not based on exact me»- j surements or surveys, and cannot be relied \ oo- However, the general good conditions • of this route are confirmed by the surveys of i Capt. Provost, Royal Navy, and of Mr. Gia- J borne, engineer, made, the one from the Pa i cific, and the other from the Atlantic shore, j f eiiher being able to get across to the oppo site side. It seems to be tho general opinion i of those who have gives the subject the most t that this route is the most favorable best-conditioned of all yet explored, and i Ihat it is j possible to cut an open canal by j this route.

BU ' vl T 'n tliis region, but failed to ■j S'A , ja r °?S-»- [Bee Bulletin of the®oeograph | teal Society of Paris, 18G4.J Tho third route, referred to above, ascends the Tuyra from the_Qnlf of .Panama, .and crosses over to the tbeltiveft£ti‘aio ,?

Explorations and surveys of the Atrato route; T%, lines between the Atrato river and different points on the Pacific coast; to determine the most suitable route for a canal without locks, have been made by General Michler, U. 8. Engineers Trautwine, of Philadelphia, and Kennish. -Their sur veys have generally been satisfactory, and leave no doubt as to the conditions of the loutes suiveyed. But we are indebted ; to Mr. Kelly, of New York, for these results. Actuated by the reports cited by Humboldt, and tho nobleness of. the enterprise, Mr. Kelly'set on/foot an ex pedition for the survey of several routes between the mouth of the Atrato river and the Pacific, crossinn the Cordilleras at many different places. The expedition was con ducted by Trautwine, who examined the branches of the Atrato, and crossed the mountains at their heads. His examinations disproved the reputed former existence of a canal between the oceans by the Rio Atrato, called the Raspadura Canal, laid down on the old charts. In 1853, the year following Trautwine’s survey, Messrs. Lane and Parter of New York, examined the same ground with the same results, viz.: the impractica bility off constructing a' earial between the oceans by the valleys of the Atrato and San Juan, at a reasonable cost. --- In 1851 Mr. Kelly sent out another expe dition under Messrs, Lane and Kennish to make further examination with regard to the Atrato Yalley. An examination of the Isth mus of Darien shows very peculiar topo graphical features. Between latitude i de-. and 8 deg. N. the coast line lies nearly north and south. Tho mouth of the Atrato is in latitude 8 deg; on the Atlantic side, and the mouth of the Ban Juan is in latitude 4 deg. and on the Pacific side, and the course of the two rivers is almost exactly north and south, and their jointlengthd about 300 miles. The width of the Isthmus at the mouth of the Atrato is not more than 80 miles, and the course of the river being •nearly parallel with the Pacific coast, and gradually approaching it, it was surmised that there might be a point somewhere between Ban Miguel Gulf and the mouth of the Rio Ban Juan, by which the valley of the Atrato might be reached by a bold open cut, and without locks. Mr. Ken oish'B examination discovered such a place, a remaikable depression just opposite a little bay or ißlet, now known as Kelly’s Inlet. The mountain pass was found to be 540 feet high. Mr. Kennish’b report attracted so much notice in England, and at home, that the Government sent out an expedition uader Lieut. Michler, U. 8. Engineers, and Lieut. CraveD, U. 8. Navy, for the purpose of veri fying the report of Mr. Kennish, and it was fully confirmed. Lieut Micbler’s survey in dicates a canal abpnt 110 miles long, with one tunnel two and a hall miles long, and another something over 800 feet long. The pecnliar relative positions of the Rio Atrato and the Pacific coast leadß to the impression that a canal, at ocean level, without lift locks, can be built across this isthmus by an expensive tonneL The necessities and circumstances of a canal tunnel across the isthmuß are certainly more imperative than those control ling the Mount Cenis or Hoosao tunnels. NICAHAOfA. The route by Lake Nicaragua and its tribu taries has always been considered with special favor, and it would seem that the ex istence of so large a body of water (say 60 milts sqaare), where the isthmus is probably 150 miles across, would be a very favorable condition for the construction of a ship canaL Seven routes have been proposed by this lake and by Ijifee Managua. Two, only, of them hsve been surveyed. Colonel Childs surveyed a line, beginning at the Harbor of Brito on the Pacific, cross ing to the lakes in 18 miles, by W locks, rising about 110 feet to the surface of the lake, thence traversing the-lake 60 miles, from RioLsjas to Port Ban Carlos, following the Rio San Juan to the Atlantic Ocean. Black water navigation is proposed on the Ban J uan lor a distance of ho miles, and an independent canal, near its mouth, to the harbor of Ban Juan. The whole length of this line is Dearly IUS miles. Expensive dams on the river, and costly harbor im provements at the oCCan termini, and at the entrance to and exit from the lake, render the practicability ol this route very dubious. At the present time an enterprise is on foot to construct a railway Tine over a part of this line; aDd a line of steamships connects with this line as a route between New York and Ban Francisco, in opposition to the Panama Kiilroad line. Mr. Childs’s survey is taken to be the solution of the scheme as probably the beßt that can be determined across this part of the isthmus. lION-lU-RAS. A survey for a railroad across this isthmus, under the patronage of an Euglish company, and reported by E. Q. Squier, is about all tfle information that has been obtained concern ing ibis istbmus. Trau twine made this survey. The distance across is 230 miles, and the summit eleva tion nearly 3,000 feet, with gradually rising slopes. This route is not at all practicable for a canal. TEHUANTEPEC. The remarkable configuration of this isth mus has already been referred to, its depres sion, and the valley of the Coateacoalcos. This isthmus is 180 miles wide, and has a summit elevation of 850 feet; and has a drain age basin 15 miles wide between summits. From the Atlantic side the river valley is fol lowed for 80 miles, the mountain section is 70 miles long, and the remaining 30 miles is in the plain of the Paeific slope. This route is not considered practicable for a canal WHO SHALL BE HEIR? Bnmorcd Dlwappearaiice of a Will— Serious Paulo Among Local Ouarl. ties—B2oo,ooo Lost to rteuu volonco. A first-class sensation is in the pristine stageß of readiness to be written up into a five volume novel by Mrs. Southworth.or for one of the diarrliota young men who expand small items into five columns for the Times- Tribune concerns. It is ecarcely as yet cioeely held by the anxious parties most in terested. The 'first intimation of a myßtery appears in the follow ing, which was published in the advertising columns of the Itepubli can : JONATHAN mjElt's ESTATE. Any person or institution having posses sion of any papers or packages "belonging to the late Jonathan Burr, is requested to de liver the same at once to the Hon. James B. Bkadwell, Probate Judge, Or give information thereof to the under signed. CmcAoo, Feb. 11, 1 Sti'J. The explanation of the above is a brie'fone.

James. search has created the very well-grouaded < apprehepsiqn, that somebody’s porposp there-. Unto appertaining has! been; so/weir icirfieci out Burr deceased a little 'over a week ago, after a protraefedperiod of ;feobte health, which reminded him thai: bis end was drawing near, yet without severing him for a larger share of the past few months from attention to busi ness, especially in connection with the local charities to which so much ot his time and ..mans has latterly been devoted. This was [the! frame ot mind and body,'in which he ;n>Bde, not long ago, a will, c*re-. fully drawn by one of our well-known at torneys, 8. B, Perry, Esq, a perso nal i friend and long acquaintance of the testator here and in Massachusetts. The provi sions of the will, it is a subject' of pretty au thentic rumor, disposed of the bulk or the large fortune of Mr. Burr in bequest to local charities, which owed to him living, so much of generous sympathy and material aid. The amount thus bestowed is variously estimated at from $200,000 to $250,000. The remainder of his wealth was given in moderate remem brances to relatives,though there were noneof these in direct descent. Mr. Burr never mar ried, but having always been a householder, some of these relatives have at times made their home with him. Whatever be the con jectures as to the cause, the will Is certainly not to be found, and Mr. Burr was too care ful and methodical a man to have allowed any whim to seize him as to its safe keeping, a fact that heightens the existing doubt. There has been a will ol a Chicago citizen admitted to probate cot many months ago, which would have been of service to the commu nity,and in aid of the memory of the testator, for somebody to have made way with secret ly, for a will is a man’s monument, and does often what Btoried marble is not permitted to do—tells the truth. But the loss of the Burr willis a public calamity that the orphan and the friendless will mourn, while the possessor ot the 111-gotten gain, if such there be, though justice may never openly overtake him, will be hunted by a Nemesis in his own con science, at peace never, and in a misery for which no gold can compensate. —Chicago Paper.
