THE DAILY NEWS. Bea Oulla. The salt sea wind is a merry-aiiker, Rippling the wild bluffs dallied reach; Tho quick surf glides from the arching breaker, And foams on the tawny beach. Ont where the long reef glooms and glances, And tosses sunward its diamond rain, Morn bas pierced with her golden lances The dizsy lighthouse pane. Gladdened by elsmore ef Infinit? surges, Heed les H wh U b l ow or galo may do, The white gui's float where the oosaa verges Blend with a glimmer of blue. * I watch how the curtaining vapor settles Dim on tho tireless plumes far berne; Till famt they gleam as s blossom'? petals, Blown through the spacious morn. THE I> ARTEN CANAJL. The Toll ?Bte ot tarro Hemispheres What the Enterprise will Nave to the Commerce of the World. Tho Boston Post, in its comments upon Mr. dialling's treaty with tho Colombian govern? ment;, is reference to the Darien ?hip oanal6 says : The statistics of oommerce themselves sup? ply thc safest suggestions respecting the best modo of accompliKhing this grandest onter ?irise of modern days. It has been oetimated hat the annual value of a ship canal across the Isthmus would be fully thirty-five million of dollars to the United States alone; that to France it would be a saving of more than two millions; to England of nearly ten; and to the rest ol the world about a mil? lion and . a half-making in all an advan? tage ot about fifty millions in money per year. Thic ?nolude* tho savings to commoroo in every way-time, wages, outfits, wear and tear, insurance and interest. Admiral Davis fully indorsed this statement in the report ho rendered on a ship canal, in 1806. Another method would be to make an estimate by tlie amount of our tonnage, both foreign and do mestio, and reckon up what would be tho ad? vantage on that basis. Cargoes would not, of course, be included iu the statement. Thejaum ib?l was 5 539 818 tons. Dividing it equally between foreign and domestic, aa was very nearly tho tact, it is estimated that, of the two and three-quarter million tons of foreign ton? nage, two millions would certainly pass through this commercial conduit aoross the Isthmus. Putting tho value of the vessels, without their careoes, at a hundred millions in g dd, nud reckoning a saving of ninety days in every year on shortened voyages, wo "secure a saving in interest of a million and three-quarters in gold, at seven per oentum. Wo see, then, some fraction of the profit and ?tower which is to fall into our hands if we fol ow out the line drawn by these suggestions. It will not do for us to embark in such au en? terprise in the niggardly spirit of mere money? makers. Tho advantage is to bo for tho com? merce of the world. Tue vessels of all nations are to pour their streams of commerce through this vital artery. Wo must entertain only broad ideas iu eiiterins upon its accomplish? ment. Our own advantago will bo best secured as wo aro liberal in our own view? of the benefit to other nations. Wc should rather regard ourselves as tho agent of the two opposite quarters of the globe, becoming the factor, the carrier and tho commis? sion merchant of both. Tho success ot G on oral Cushing's mission revives all tho sp?culations of the past concerning this revo? lution in tho tides of the world'i cummeroo, and excites hopes which will only prove too well based when this noblo plaii shall have boen begun and pushed forward to completion. We stand exactly in the great commercial highways; and wo aro more than blind and deaf it we refuse to go forward in consummat? ing that comprehensive ?chemo of commercial power and prosperity which has for its three great pillars, a trans-continental railway sys? tem, the cutting of a ship canal throuph the Isthmus, and the establishment of a Bate and capacious naval station m the West Iudies. THE RETIRING PRESIDENT. His Last Public Words BS the Occupant ol' the White House. The committee appointed by the City Coun? cils of B titimoro to present to President John? son a copy of a resolution passed recently, in? viting him to visit Baltimore on his return to Tennosace, called upon the Fredi Jon t on Mon? day morning, lu response to thc remarks of Mayor Banks, the President said : Gentlemen of the Committee-I have no res? ponse to make on this occasion further than to express the feelings awakened in me by the remarks you have mado in presenting the reso? lution adopted by the councils of your city, and in dorm; so I shall confine myself to re? turning my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the high compliment you have been pleased to pay me. It would be doiug myself injustice to affect indifferonco to the evidence given here to-day that my conduct as a public servant is approved of by my fellow-citizens. 1 do feel flattered and much gratified at ibis apprecia? tion of my services, coming as it does from so intelligent and estimable a source. I thank you most cordial.y I thank you heartily and sincere? ly for the words of comfort and commendation you have given me. Language cannot give ut? terance to the gratitude that fills my heart. To feol that so many of my intelligent and patriotic fellow-citizjns should thus manifest for me a fooling of regard as I am stepping out of power, is a pledge so raro that 1 will remem? ber it to the latest day of my life. I must be permitted to add, and Ido it not from a spirit of vanity or egotism, that I feel more highly honored in laying down the authority which has been entrusted to my keeping than I did wheo I first assumed it. I am glad to take my place once more among the people, ir whom my trust has ever boon placed, andi eau say that, although I bare not been able to restore to them the blessings of peace and prosperity to be found only in a faithful adhe? rence to the constitution of cur oountry, I have alway? kept that sacred instrument as mv guide. Mv bolo a.m has beeu for its preser? vation and the permanent good of the whole country. I feel more prido in coming of tho peopli, and of bearing in oormnou with them my share of the buidons which all of UJ are called upon to endure, than I would feol in any office of honoi and profit that could be conferred upon JS?ofi?i8^ ,,R tlieii. keen, alwavs in view the constitution, wlncl shomrl mnr cntnmnnrl oar highest respect anti' re verene; for when re? spect for it vanishes, where shall we look tor succor? I have frequently said heretofore that my only aim was the preservation of the con? stitution and the advancement ot the pubUc good. I repeat it here, now that. I am about surrendering the powers of the Chief Execu? tive, all is gone unless the constitution of our oountry is saved; and it should be saved with? out the shedding of blood. To me civil honors are far more agreeable than the mc on se that arises from tue Held of carnage. I must be permitted to say, stepping as l shall very aoon out of power and authority, that the path ever which I hare trodden is not stained with tho blood of my ieUow-man. I have- ?j?ivon to walk in the ?rays of peace and good- will io all men. Let us turn our thoughts os the preser? vation of our oountry by peaceful means. I would to-day rather wear on my lace the furrows marked there by eire and responsi? bility m the aiduouu paths of duty than the glittering epaulette or by my side the jingling sword as tho insignia of ruthless war. Lot us indoctrinate .our people.; with the belief that the constitution ia tho ?alladtum of our liberty, pur only safeguard in be hour of peril. Let us' olitig to it as the shipwrecked mariner elinga to the plank which ho fems to be bis only ark of safety, f thai k you again for the h ii? h and flattering compli? ment yon have paid me. Your hospitality, so kindly offered, is accepted, and the time when my risk shad be most convenient shall soon bc douigiaied. OUJR RELATIONS WIT* IC NO.LA NI). The correspondence betweei. Our govern? ment and Great Britain for the last fifteen months, relating to the citizenship question, the San Joan boundary question, and the Ala? bama claims question, has been primed and makes a document of one hundred and fifty pages, of which one-half is devoted to Fenian and citizenship questions. The following ab? stract of it is interesting, as showing the promptings and directions under which Hon. JRererdy Johnsen acted in tb? negotiations : The instructions of the State Department to Mr. Reverdy Johnson, dated on the 20th ot last July, ditect bim to press a settlement at the earliest poss*?**-*'" ""*fc*J eitiBonship ques? tion: then *^ .^?te#*i^boundary matter,/ * " JtWS^? subject of mu-, tual ol ii ' . .t not to do anvtumg definite With thu t+?i ma tc er until th? other two que? tiona wex*e in procos? of settlement'. MJ. John? son met Lord Stanlov first on the 10th of September last. He found him specially anxious to fix up the citizenship question, and tho protocol waa signed on tho 9th of October, and approved by tho President on the 25tb of that month. The Ban Juan treaty was put into shape about the middle of Ootober. Early in November Mr. Seward wrote a letter asking that it bo am ended so aa to leave the whole subjeot explicitly to tho President of Switzerland. Ho was at first very anxious to have this troaty signed, but iu the latter part of this month he direct* ed that Mr. Johnson's signature be withhold until tho ance ion about the claims treaty was settled. The first draft of tho claims conven? tion was signed by Lord Stanley and Mr. John? sen on the 10th of November. It consisted of twelve articles, and provided, among other things, that the commission for the settlement of tho danna should meet at London. Mr. Seward on the 27th of November wrote a long letter taking decided ground against the terms of the deoumont. He said that the commission must meet in Washington; that our commis? sioners must be confirmed by the Senate, and that all claims should be treated on the same basis. Mr. Johnson had consented tbat tho Alabama claims must bo settled by a unani? mous vote ol tho commission, while the others were to bo settled by a majority vote, and that tho arbitrator on tho Alabama claims must be agreod upon by both govern? ments, while in the other cases he could bo chosen by lot. Mr. Seward objected to all this, said that'Mr. Johnson had allowed discrimina? tion against tho Alabama claim*, sud pretty stronglv intimated that Lord Stan hy bad been a good deal too sharp for our minister. Mr. Johnson replied rather petulently to Mr. Sew? ard's criticism, and said that he thought Lon? don much the best placo for the meeting of the commission, to which the Secretary answered: "In view ol the highly disturbed national sen? sibilities, a mooting at Washington is indis? pensable." Mr. Johnson had his first interview with Lord Clarendon on the 15th oF December, and at that time showed him what Mr. Seward had said about the Stanloy treaty. Lord Olarondon took the matter iuto consideration, and on the 22d of December sent to Mr. Thornton, his minister here, an entirely new dtait. Mr. Soward found this quite to his liking, suggest? ed two or three minor changes by telegraph, and had that and tho San Juan treaty signed on the 1*lh ni loot '""v*1' ,\ oroat deal of cuYiVsponding was done by cable, ana sumo ux Mr. Seward's dispatchea contained seven or eight hundred words each. In lys lotter of tho 15th of January, onclosincr the two treaties, Mr. Reverdy Johnson alludes to tho positions taken two yearB ago by England, and says that he baa reason to believe that tbe abandonment of these positions is duo to tho growing friend? ly feeling for the United States which baH been BO strongly expressed aiuce his arrival, and thon conveys the pleasant information that, anticipating such an efi'oot, he determined to lose no time in cultivating the feeling, and this was the Bole motivo of tho speeches ho made last fall in various parts of England.
