A LITTLE TOO STRONG.

The City OF Rochester is q child of the Erie Canal.

to be worth hundred if no such work had been con-
structed II is now worth from five thousand up 10
hundred thousand dollars per acre-ninetynine hun

GeDesee Valley Canals The Enlargement of the Grand
Canalwl of course add materially TO this value espe
cisy OF the wster-power, mills and mill privileges of
the emporium OF Genesee Flour. Thus the People of

Mr.. c. L WARD mot Frank Ward, as his name was
enormously printed in recent artce appears our
columns to-day, in explanation, vindcation or twistf-
cation of his agency in shaping the Gadsden Treaty with
Mexico in accordance with the interest of the spe u
ators holding the Garay grant of right of way across
the lsthmus of Tehuantepec. Mr.. Wards manifesto
is decidedly diplomatic in charac er and nowith stand
ing its superficial postyeness and amplitude Of asser
ton, is more remarkable for its reservations than It's
disclosures. Whoever will take the trouble involved
in reading II in connection with our article Of Friday
last observing carefully those of statements which
it passes in silence well ss those it processes
to contradict will obtain more light as TO the origiu
character and real objects of the Garsy or Gaisden
Treaty than has hitherto been accessible to the public
The result will amply reward the effort.
We shall not Of course here engage in any contro
versy with Mr.. Ward as to the validity of the Garay
grant lie Importance the assumed obligation resting
on our Government TO ndorSe and enforce that grant
We are not surprised that operator in the Garay
interest should regard the Gadsden Treaty as an ex
celen' one we shOad be surprised if many disinter-
ested citizens concurred in that opinion For such
surprise, however, there is no occasion Enough Cor
the present of Mr.. Ward and Garay
