recovered some of her ancient Importance. In
a sentence, the Cape trade ruined The Medi-
terraacan trade. Some few years ago the
overland route to India at once revived Egypt
and tho trade of the Mediterranean. The
| overland route, however, still left diGiculty--
India and the far East could be reached
by the Capa in ships directly India
and the far East could only be reached
via Egypt, by the cumbrous process of unship-
ping, of using railroad. and of shipping
again. We but state the truth when we say
that except for very special purposes, the
route to the East via the Cape Of Good Hope
remained, in spite OF the Egyptian railroad,
the great highway of commerce. A canal
through Egypt, connecting the waters Of the
Mediterranean with the waters of tho Red Sea-
and wide and deep enough TO admit ships Of
largest tonnage, continued to DO the great
want and requirement. of trade. NJ Lesseps
had the hardihood to attempt to meet this
that his work is about 10 be crowned with
success. So soon as the Suez Canal is fairly
opened to trade, and so soon as It is found
equal to the high requirements of modern
commerce, the route to India and the far
East is lessened by thousands OF miles; and
while the Cape of Good Hope is left to sink
into its original barbarism the cities of the
Mediterranean coast will recover more than
their ancient Importance, and will reveal
more than their former splendor. Venice,
Trieste, Genoa, Marseilles will all become
first class ports; aud new cities created by
railroad and telegraph win spring up in
Greece, in France, in Spain, in Portugal not
to speak of the chances Of the north of Africa,
which may very seriously imperil the old
monopoly of Great Britain. II is fact that
the Suez Canal will remove Great Britain and
the United States of America from the far
East, and that it win give France, Italy.
Austria and Spain great advantage.
What is the lesson to US We have our
Pacific Railroad. In this respect we are far
ahead of Europe. This. however, only gives
us certain qualified advantage in reference
to the trade OF Japan and China. So far as
ships are concerned it leaves us as we were
We shall be compelled to use the Suez Canal
In this particular we share difficulty with
Great Britain. Is il TOO much to ask that the
two great commercial nations of modern
times-aations sprung of common stock,
having common interests and speaking a
common language-should unite for common
purpose and cut grand canal across the
Isthmus of Darien? Such canal would be a
boon to both nations and benefit to man
kind

In the recent special correspondence from
Italy published in the HERALD forcible alfr-
sion is made to the existing moral state of that
country General immortality Is prevalent
throughout, without exception, and, unfortu-
natoIy, the example Is mostly set by the upper
classes and is too readily followed by the
members of the lower classes. This state OF
things alludes alike to the doings Of the gov
ernment, both at home and abroad, and also
to the social life Of many of the most promi-
nent officials. Much ado has frequently been
made respecting the immortality of the former
Spanish court, but in Italy it may now be
rather considered bon ton to give full sway to
the worst passions to which the human race
is akin. But lately the desperate murder of a
countess by discarded admrer caused the
exposure of some facts tending to prove these
assertions
Since the year l848 Italy has been passing
through phase of revolutionary periods that
have operated on it's political standard,
its religion and society generally. Even AZ
late as 1860 marked Difference was paid pub
lcly In the streets to all servants of the Church.
and in many cases it extended to kissing their
robes as they passed The whirlwind of revo-
lutionary ideas, however, greatly changed the
position; religious holidays have been much
reduced in number, priests are allowed to pass
unnoticed-in fact, in many cases they are
almost held up TO ridcule. The workings Of
the s'ringa" in this country have become
notorious but this system is well understood
in Italy in all branches of the administration.
This, however, cannot be wondered at, when
the low salaries paid to government officials
are taken into consideration. The late tobacco
case, involving as ii did both deputies and
officials, exposed some of these nefarious
workings, and although the Camorra has vir-
tually been dissolved in Naples, its influence
has but too effectually spread throughout the
country. The Piedmontese style King Victor
Emanuel the ''father of the people," but this
is owing chiefly to his free and easy habits
and the fact Of his mixing personally with them
and entirely divestng himself of his Official
rank. Gifted with one OF the most glorious
climates in the world, and fertile beyond the
general degree, the present dilapidated state
of the revenue in Italy is due solely to mis-
management. The epidemic that RACES among
those who should serve as examples of social
and political morality inds but too many con-
verts in other grades, and hence intrigue,
robbery and murder revel in high carnival.

Bad News for PuIpit Orators Generally
Father Hyacinthe at Sec for America.
Father Hyacinthe, the ex-chaplaiu OF N6tre
Dame, Paris, embarked yesterday for The
United States at one Of the European ports.
The Atlantic cable Informs us to this effect, at
all events, so that, If there is no mistake In
the matter, we shall have the Pere among us
about this day week.
This, his latest step In the path Of progress,
proves in the most unmistakable manner that
Father Hyacinths is, in more ways than one,
the coming man Of the age. Instead Of going
to Rome and having his magnificent voice
drowned in the uncongeniai musty Vatican,
and frittering away his intellect in attempting
to master the subtleties Of the Syllabus the Pere
HES off to submit his case to the free and candid
mind of America, and state his position to the
unshackled conscience Of the nation by means
of the pens of the HERALD stenographers,
instead Of entrusting it to the forty or fifty
reporters selected from the ranks of the eccesi-
astical classes of the College Of the Propa-
ganda by Antonelli.
Father Hyacinthes arrival in New York will
constitute a very remarkable event, a peculiar
era in the history of the Church in this coun-
try. 1t is said he will remain here for few
months only We venture to say that he will
be Immediately baptized to positive regenera-
ton by national acclaim, and then elected as
the head of our broad Church, for which 80
many Of our most eloquent divines have been
casting about for such a lengthy period In
the meantime our present pulpit orators, as
well as all great sinners, must look well to
their chaplets and church standing. The Pere
Hyacinthe drew tears from the gentle eyes of the
devoted Empress Of France frequently by his
eioquence. He is likely, therefore, to prove
very Moses when knocking at tho hearts Of
some of tho church members in New York and
its surroundings for an outflow Of the water Of
grace. He will ''fe.ch IT," without doubt, If
it Is 10 be had.

Tho sucz Canal Charscs-Progress with
Economy.

Economy.
Yesterday morning our city contemporaries
made vigorous, for them, effort in the mat
ter of news enterprise by publishing In their
columns a copy Of the schedule of the rules
and regulations for the navigation of the Suez
Canal, issued by M. Ferdinand de Lesseps in
Paris on the 18th of August, and in which he
set forth the rates Of charges which are to be
levied on vessels using the new transit route
between Europe and Asia. II is quite evident
that 1t will require the ultimate completion Of
many such works as the Suez Canal, with q
vast extension of the present network Of land
telegraphs and submarine cables, to keep
these papers at all in the line of the present
march Of journalistic advances for we may
mention that M. de Lesseps' paper reached us
by mail from Europe last month and was pub
lished In the HERALD n, e1tenso on the 18th of
September. Others of the city newspapers
rake 1t up now and present 1t to the public as
fresh and entirely new document.
As the great work of the Suez Canal will
soon be opened for the purposes of trade and
travel we submit to our readers, In another
place to-day, In q plain and Ineligible form
for American use, the substance of the elev-
enth clause of the Lesseps tariff Of navigation,
exhibiting the actual gold cost which will Be

President Grants proclamation, recommend
| ing Thursday, the 18th of November next, as
day Of general thanksgiving sums up the
reasons for this acknowledgment of the bless
ings OF Divine Providence with Napoieonic
brevity and force. He says the year which
is drawing TO close has been free from pesti-
| lence; that health has prevailed through
| out the land that abundant crops reward the
labors of the husbandman; that commerce
and manufactures have successfully prosecuted
their peaceful paths that the mines and forests
have yielded literally, and that the nation has
increased in wealth and strength. Upon each
one of these specifications valuable book
! ght be compiled from tho comparative
statistics of the general health, prosperity,
wealth and strength Of the nation. In all these
essentials to the happiness and progress Of q
great people We stand to-day without
parallel in the history Of any nation Of ancient
or modern times
But, again, the President reminds us that
peace has prevailed, and that its blessings
have advanced the interests Of the people Ia
every part of the Union that harmony and
fraternsl intercourse are celebrating the
marks Of the past conflict and estrangement;
that burdens have been iightsned and means
increased, and that civil and religious liberty
is secured to every inhabitant Of the land, whose
soil is trod by none but frcemen. Those spec
fications touch upon the conduct Of tho general
government, and upon each Of them we have
enlarged from time to time in defining the good
results developing from the quiet and unpre-
tending administration of General Grant. We
see that, without resorting TO coercive measures,
he is bringing order and prosperity out Of
chaos and poverty in the South, and il bringing
the late rebsiiious States into happy accord
as restored or returning members Of the Union.
At the same time the gains TO the national
treasury in the reduction Of its expenditures
and the increase of it's receipts are much better
for the first seven months Of President Grant
than his most sanguinc admirers anticipated.
On the Cuban question we are still somewh at
involved in doubts and conjectures, but we
still entertain the opinion that the fog In good
time will be cleared away in decisive and
satisfactory settlement.
The political branch Of General Grants
thanksgiving proclamation, therefore, is but
modest presentation Of the advantages which
his administration so far has conferred upon
the country; and we know from his late coup
detat in Wall street that he is wide awake in
behalf of the general interests of the people.
Our democratic politicians will doubtless dis
cover design in this proclamation to influence
the State elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska on Tuesday next
but even In this light the brief exhibit of
Grants administration presented is the only
thing upon which the republican party can
rely for success, and even this may come too
late to save them from the bad effects of gen.
eral apathy and local splits and dissensions,
including the spoil, and plumber and whiskey
and lager beer.

Woe PRESIDENT CoLFAx ON MORMON PoLYa-
AMY. --Vice President Colfax has been giving
the Mormons at Great Salt Lake City little
wholesome advice on polygamy. But why all
this talk and no actionp In 1854, If We are
not mistaken, in tho very organization Of the
republican party, its mission was declared to
be the extinction Of ''those twin relics of bar
barism, slavery and polygamy." Slavery has
been abolished at the point Of the bayonet and
by law; but Mormon polygamy still remains
and is still enlarging its borders. No doubt
II could be removed, and without boodshed,
by proper legislation or by treaty with Brig
ham Young; whereas, II our leaders in Con-
grcss continue to do nothing but talk upon the
subject, there will some day be precipitated q
bloody collision between the Gentiles and the
Saints that will be a scandal TO the govern
ment for generations to come That inperium
IN inlperjo of the Latter Day Saints, as IL IT,
cannot much longer exist without collision
with the Genties, who ara crowding around
them, and increasing in numbers every day.

incurred in taking vessels through the canal
from Port Said 10 Suez, or rice oersa.
At the first moment Of reading tho tables
the impression may obtain that the charges
are rather high and that the use Of the canal
will be costly. II must be taken into account,
however, that the work Of opening the route
has been attended with an enormous outlay of
money, not to speak IN the least Of the huge
preliminary and contingent expenditures
which accompanied its predatory arrange
mentand the progress Of making it, nor to
refer to the many and vast advantages
which will accrue to the commerce Of the
world and the spread of civilization by its use.
M. dc Lesseps has proved himself capable aud
persevering both in his project and exertion,
and we are pretty certain that he has been care
full, equitable and just and economical in his cal
culations as to the canal navigation charges.
Az general rule vessel Of one thousand
tons burden will take sixty days to run round
or ''double" the Cape Of Good Hope, at an
actual cost Of at least one hundred dollars in
gold each day, not to mention the loss of time
and consequent additional loss Of money! so
that it ensues that her owners will save, even
at the rates of Suez Canal charges which we
publish, nearly one Thousand dollars in gold
by using the new and short route. 1t is
progress and economy combined.
