IMPORTANT FISCAL ARRANeEmeyr.-Th followin

IMPORTANT FISCAL ARRANGEMENT.-The following
is from the New York Courier of August 9th.
There is a in the street to-day that the Sec
rotary of the Treasury has succeeded in IN king con-
with the house of Rohschild for the supply of
coin the armies and COmmissarlat in Mexico, of all
the money they shall require-against the drafts by
the proper officers on the Treasury at Washington.
We not able to ascertain the accuracy of the ru
mor-much less the terms which, If at all-the
arrangement has been made-but as 1t seems 10 be
probable and would certainly be advantageous both
parties, we think 1t right 10 give it i hearing.
BY such arrangement, European creditors of Mex
leo, whom the Rothschds may be supposed TO repre-
SEM, would receive their property in specie-in Mex
ico and avoid all the danger Of conductas, aud other
dangers incident the present deranged state of Mex
ico-ake bills on the United States Treasury at Wash
ngton which at maturity could be converted into good
bills of Exchange on England
On side, by such an arrangement, all iranspor-
tation Of specie from the United States 10 Mexico
ould be avoided, the shock to banks incident to
large expenditures of coin would be avoided aud mol
the least risk Of transporting 1t from the seacoas &c
the armies.
Upon the whole. therefore, as there is manifest adj
vantage 10 both parties in such an arrangement, we
deem 1t altogether probable that 1t has been made

Correspondence of the Journal Of Commerce.

AsHINGToN, August d, 1917.
Mr. ]. @. Adams, in of his speeches on the
Annexation of Texas, said that it would be seized
upon by England, as pretext for annexing Cuba to
her dominion. The course Of events seems to lndi-
that there will arise strong Influence In Great
Britain in favor of such a measure. The time may
not yet have arrived in which 1t may be deemed ex
pedent,-but, as Lord Palmersion intimated the
time may arrive when the British Government will,
in this manner indemnify British subjects for their
losses in Spanish loans. and at the same time, per-
hapS seek redress from the United States on the same
account. For Great Britain to take possession OF
Cuba, would, no doubt. produce with the United
States, without bringing the other question OF the
Indebtedness Of some of our individual States. The
Government of the United States took occasion, some
time ago, notify that of Great Britain that the
QUESTION Of Cuba by her, would not be willingly per-
med by the United States.
The Shareholders Of Cuba have also, in anticlpa-
ton of the possible transfer of the island to Great
Britain signi6ed to our Government wish to bring
the island under the protection of the United States
The annexation of Texas, while 1t increases the
power of the save-holdng interest In the U. States
also increases the necessity of protecting that inter-
est from the near approach of the British policy,
power, and example.
The great and increasing love of territorial acqui
sion and military renown, so manifest In the United
States will seek qualification before long, and upon
the earliest preext, in war with England. The
Mexican war is preparatory measure to great
events.

Central Canal.

MEssRs EDIroRs-Gents. The public have ex-
pressed their opinion of the manner IN which This
work has been conducted since the letting, IN tone
so loud that it was generally believed 1t had even
reached the apparently sealed ears of the people 5
humble servants and their superatively energetic
satellites.
This it appears, has not been the case for on an
examination Of tie work few days ago. 1t was al
most impossible to observe any change to have taken
place for the last two weeks, at least on the Fall
creek aqueduct; and should you ask the contractor
of this work the cause of his not employing more
men, he will answer that they cannot be had; but he
will neglect to tell you that he discharged number
of his hands on account of their refusing to labor for
the poor pitance of sixty cents day; and that had
he continued give seventytve, which was all they
demanded he could have as many as would be re-
quircd
The present engineer admits that the work is not
progressing as il should and could, did the contract
ors use proper exertions He, knowing and admitting
this refuses 10 exercise that authority, for the bene-
fit Of this community, with which he is clothed. lie
possesses the power to declare any job abandoned
that is not properly conducted; and why some noto-
riousy bad managed sections have not been so de-
clared is a mystery 10 many; some pretend to know
and assert that he is that the moment the
work is completed his pay ceases for the sake oil
common honesty will not believe this; there must
be some other causes, and when our Legislature
meets would it not be well to have matters nvestl-
gated !
As 10 the best of my knowledge, in no instance
have the terms which any contract was let been
complied with the result Is, the State, and more
particularly this and the adjoining counties have suf
fered severely A TAX PAYER.

that they should be so asidOus and coquetsh on the
selection of Il Presidential candidate. At time

country that this man will be the whig candidate Tor
the next President. His certain election is then as
serted in the wing press. The next we know, his
name is dropped. and silence peculiar TO this party
is observed We were first told that Mr.. Clay would
certainly be elected in 1913. Then the name Of Mr..
Mclean, of Ohio, was put forth-he was a new man
we were told, he certainly would be elected After
wards Clayton was taken up and suddenly passed
over that all the wings might unite upon COrwin, 1.-THE
eloquent Corwin" as he called, of Ohio
When the impression was created that this was the
man that the wings had found their candidate,
he is Of sudden dropped, and the experiment is COM
menced with Gen Taylor. All former considerations
are to be laid aside, the wings nave found man to
whom they can attach themselves and who has about
him some traits that in favor with the people. He,
as we were told would surely be the wing candidate
in lS4S and as such would most certainly be elected.
