The Republics of the South.

With all due respect to the opinions of man
kind in general, and of the English in particu-
lar, we cannot help thinking that it was fortu-
nate for the cause of republicansm that an at
tempt was made to test it practically by the peo-
pie Of these United States: for, even such rs we
are, the feasibility of the system could not prob
ably have been so well illustrated by any other
people of whom we have any knowledge. This
thought has been suggested to us by our most re-
cent South American news few items of which
were received at New York yesterday, as follows:
Later advices from Ecuador give the details
of Floress movements. On the morning of June
%, squadron of seven vesses-of war anchored
off Guayaquil, which was soon attacked by
the Equadorian steamer. A few shots were ex-
changed without damage, and the latter hauled
off. A sharp skirmish afterwards took place on
shore between foraging party of thirty men,
chiefly Americans, under Major Bell and Captain
Owens, and party of two hundred Equadorians
in ambush. The latter lost thirty men in killed,
and many were wounded. Only one American
was wounded.
A general attack from the Equadorians by land
and water was expected by Flores on the 3D. of
July. Whilst awaiting the attack the magazine
Of the schooner Ataocttea, belonging to Flores's
squadron, blew up, killing A soldiers and sailors,
including 6 officers.
On the night of July A. Gunyaquil was attacked
and the batteries of San Carlos and Planchado
slenced, when the invading force fell back, and
nothing decisive took place. Another attack by
land and water was planned for the night of July
s, Flores leading the land forces in person. but it
was subsequently abandoned, on account of the
great strength of the enemy.
The last accounts say that Floress troops had
all gone over to Urbina, and his vessels had also
been given up. Flores had gone to Tumbese.
Elizabaldi has been named rs President of Equa-
dor; and, Ms he is opposed to Urbina, revolution
is expected.

CANAL DRAFTS STILL PROTESTED BIZ

THE AUDITOR when the Canal Bill passed the House,
and before 1t acted upon in the Senate we took
cason to express the opinion that 1t would if passed. be-
disregarded by the Commissioners of the Canal Fund.-
as il did not add feathers weight to the obligations i'm.
posed upon them by the Canal Law of ISL And our
prediction ha. been fulfilled The Auditor persists In
his refusal pay drafts and the Commissioners OF the
Canal Fund approve Of his conduct II, instead OF law
defining the duties Of these officers, 1t had been bill
of impeachment for their brazen neglect OF duty, 1t
would have been more effective.
Nevertheless, the lawathough it added nothing 70
the previously existing obligations of the State Officers
vital in this it recognized and legalZed the Con-
tracts entered into by the Letting Board The excuse
therefore, that those Contracts imperfect because
they had not subsequently received the formal approval
of the Canal Board, removed. The Legislature had
the power to overlook any iniomaes which may have
existed, and they exercised that power But the occu
pants of the State Hall to deem themselves above
law, and set Legislative enactments at defancei We
have fallen upon strange times, when such things occur
without exciting our special wonder
day two after the late law perfected, draft
to the Auditor which he protested for the
reasons already published 1t is worth while TO give the
reasons which, at different periods the Auditor assigned
for these protests They are substantially as follows
First: Slipry's Draft The Auditor assigned as a
son for protesting this draft the that Commission
er Msther that he had signed such
draft and that the Division Engineer thinks mistake
Second: Htlhins DRAFT Refused because there was
in the name Hutchins in the draft but not in the
contract and because there certificate from the
County Clerk that the laborcrs' bond was filed In his
office.
Third The same draft corrected with the County
Clerks Certificate, subsequently, presented and the
excuse for second protest. that the Auditor was
awaiting Judge Csdy's decision.
Fou,fh After Judge Cadys decision the came dram
was again presented, when the given for non.
payment that the contracts had not been approved
by the Canal Board as in his Judgment necessary
Fifth: Subsequently similar drafts were presented
and protested, because the Auditor waiting Judge
Pratts decision.
Sirth The last excuse after Judge Pratt's decision
known, and after the Legislature had recognized
and lecalized the contracts, was,
ls Because before the Supreme Court OF
the Second Judicial District the under which the draft
drawn held unconstitutional and void by the unanimous
decision OF the four Judges.
I'd Because upon application for mandanus to compel
payment similar draft the has been carried 20 the
Court Of Appeals where under argument and de-
cisou may be confidently looked for In u short time.
Thus, in spite Of the action of the Legislature, the
creditors of the State to be kept out Of their pay at
least until the middle of May Alb. Eve. Journal.
