THE TEHUANTEPEC ROUTE.

II Is stated that the carriage road the sthmus Of
TehuAntepee will be completed and stocked for travel
before the first Of February next The necessary yeh
ces constructing at Concord, New Hampshire
and will IL Is said be shipped from New York on the first
Of January.
The route OF this road is embraced In the Soo grant
made by the Mexican government February lsbs and
recognised by the United States in the eighth article Of the
Gadsden treaty Its advantages as passenger and mail
route manifold for the conveyance OF goods except In
very small packages its facilities must OF course be very
limited. Besides its very superior healhfulness, Its
greater speed and cheapness win give 1t decided pref
erence over the Panama route. The time of passage
from New Orleans to Ventosa Bay, the proposed Pa
cifc terminus of the road, win be, at furhest four
days; thence TO San Francisco, nine days. The time
Of passage from New Orleans TO San Francisco BY the
Panama route is twenty-one days. There would thus
be difference of eight days in favor of the new route
Between New York and San Francisco the difference In
distance in favor of the Tehuanteec route compared with
the Panama route lss mlesthe distance by the for
mer being 1904 and by the latter 4,992 miles. Between
New Orleans and San Francisco the difference in its favor
amounts to 1901 miles the distance by way Of Panama
being 45o5 and by way of Tehuanepec 2,7o4 miles BY
the completion Of the Mobile and Ohio railroad and OF
few other connecting links between the North and SOUTH
soon be finished New York. according to the New Or
leans Delta will be brought within three days travel Of
New Orleans BY the Tehuantepec route therefore, New
York will gain days the passage to San Francisco
the time consumed between those points by way OF
Panama being average tweny-three days
The United States government would gain much in
security and economy by using this new route for mail
transportation. The Post Office Department now pays
per for the transportation OF the mails
twice month"; by the Panama route from New York to
San Francisco The Tehuanepec company offer to carry
them twice month for $480,000 four times month
for twice that suthus doubling mail service to the
Pacific coast for small fraction more than is now paid
for mail transportation 1t remains for Congress to decide
the expediency of contract with the Tehuantepec
company for this purpose
The of the terminus of this route to the
mouth of the Mississippi river and its entirely posi-
ton within the Gulf of Mexico beyond such foreign
troll and violent interference have lately made the PAN
route Objectionable Justly thought to rec
ommend it most strongly for all the already named
and at least until the completion of the great Pacific rail
road for the safe and speedy transportation of United
States troops in of any possible urgent need to
possessions the Pacific This last advantage would be
greatly increased by railroad the Isthmus which
the quick enterprise of capitalists may well lead us to
expect within few years. unless anticipated and merged by
| the monster federal road.
