Collector Grinnell has received informa-

New York City. More than two hundred
merchants of heretofore respectable position
and standing, whose names are yet withhe d

eerned in the frauds, which extended thro'
several months of the last administration.
They were accomplished by false invoices
and differentiation Of imported merchar

of money.

KESU MpTION.

Certain newspapers in the absence of
some more available sensation, are endea-
voring to quicken the pulses of their read
ers by reports of the imminent resumption
of specie payments. Gen. Grant is credit
ed in advance with recommendation in
his forthcoming message that law be
passed by Congress fixing the time for re-
sumption, and Congress is represented as
entirely wiling and anxious to act upon
the suggestion. This if not worse, is the
merest bosh. No legislation of Congress
will'or can directly bring about resumption.
That contamination when it does come,
will be by the working of natural causes,
necessarily slow, but also sure in their re-
suits. 1t can only be FASTENED by the es-
tablishment of the credit of the country
and the payment of its debts. Every
monthly bulletin from the Treasury Depart
ment. announcing reduction of the pub
he Indebtedness, is a step in the direction
Of specie payments; with more than
month Of peremptory legislation on the
subject. Secretary Boutwell, is working out
the problem in the only way it ever will be
solved, and the legislation needed is such
Is will strengthen bis hands. Let Congress
give Mr.. Boutwell, the proper auth ority y
put our debt into new bonds at lowe rate
Of interest, and let those bonds be payable,

1ieving US OF heavy load OF interest," ana
justifying our good faitt. Let 1t give as
surance to the county and to the world, that
our expenses SHAH be kept at the minimum
figure; that TIE revenue shall continue to
be collected as honestly and efficiently as
now. and that we will continue to reduce
our debt at the rate Of sixty to a hundred
millions year, aud we shall see our way
clear to return to a specie basis almost
before we expect it. Bat the plan of COM
polling resumption by legal enactment IS,

The SuEZ CANAL.--The great ship canal
across the Isthmus of Suez is completed,
and success. The French Empress and
other distinguished persopages passed
through it in the inauguration feet last
week. The Suez Canal commences at
Port Said, on the Mediterranean, and ter
inmates near the city of Suez, on the Red
Sea, between which points it is exactly one
hundred miles long, sixty of which pass
through number of small lakes. Its
width at the water line for the greater part
Of its length is over three hundred feet, and
it's minimum depth twenty-six feet. 1t is
remarkable as the only canal which was
over constructed without gates or locks,
and is by far the deepest aud largest ever
made. Its depth will be sufficient for ships
Of 5000 tons burden, and drawing twenty
four feet. The canal is owned by COM
pany who will charge transi, fee of ten
fesncs per ton, and towage fee of two
francs per ton on all vessels passing through
il. The canal will be Illuminated Mt night
in its entire length. On the African side
the signals will be red, and on the Asialic
eide green.
