TO the new census all possible correctness and

the kind was needed by the old despotisms,

Napoleon has now set about the work of
making Paris seaport. To effect this, 1t is
proposed to cut from Dieppc to the capital
wide canal, for which the ocean is to supply
the water, and whose levels are to be regulated
by locks and floodgates. The canal is to be
one hundred and sixteen miles in length, and
of suf1cient width and depth TO admit vessels
of the largest class. The Emperor is said to
be very earnest in the undertaking, and plans
are being prepared at the palace under his
supervision.

The Cincinnati Commercial says: AS
a practical question in Ohio, affecting
the numerical strength Of parties, the
enfranchisement Of her colored citizens
is OF small consequence. In 1860 the
entire colored population OF the State
was but se,o7s against 2,so2,sO whites
OF this comparatively small number but
1921 were males, and but s,o92 over
the age of twenty. OF the males eight
thousand were ,inulattoes, -One-half u.- Of
whom at least were already voters, The
enfranchisement Of the remaining adults
would not have added five thousand to
the voting population Of the State. 1t
is doubtful whether it would be increas-
ed to that extent weie every aduIt negro
made voter to-day. Practically, there
fore, the limitation or extension of suff.
rage in Ohio is, as partisan measure
an inconsequential affair The twaddle
of politicians about the Africanization of
the State is nsuferable nonsense.

LAY DELEGATE VoTE.--The vote upon the
lay delegate question, here as elsewhere, seems
not to have enlisted much interest. The vote
was light one, and stood about 80 TO l5, as
near as we have been able to learn. i.i ..f|
In this connection, we give the comments Of
some of our contemporaries. The Pittsburg
Dispateh says; "The friends of the lay delega-
ton movement in the Methodist churches are
beginning to be anxious about the final result
of the elections which are now being held
throughout the country. The leading churches
of New York have all voted against the propo.
sition, and so have many Others throughout
the States. If successful IL will doubtless be
a very slight victory, In point of numbers"
The New York Tribune Of the 23d instant
says: "The votes are now pouring in from all
parts Of the country, and, as far as reported the
result is highly favorable to the expectations
Of the friends Of lay delegation Up to Satur.
day there had been received 1880 votes in
favor and 400 against. As the total member
ship Of the Church exceeds one million, the
votes received are only small minority of the
total vote that will be cast But as they are
from all parts of the country, and as thus far
every State reports a majority, they seem to
represent the prevailing opinion. Iowa, North
ern Illinois, the cities Of Philadelphia, Chicago
and Buffalo, but above all, the colored con-
gregations which have been heard from, give
very large majorities, The vote of the colored
congregations is nearly unanimous, 1t seems,
therefore, to. be certain that the vote of the
laity will emphatically declare in favor of their
right of representation, and in this event it is
regarded as certain that the ministers will bow
to the verdict of the people, and that the
General Conference of 1879 will engraft the
new principle upon the constitution of the
Church" irsuH.. ... ,H.y . d.,

Nova Although we have been slow
to believe In the extravagant assertions Of q
portion Of the Eastern press as well as of some
of the "Biue Nose" leaders, we can no longer
doubt the growing desire on the part of the
people of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia for
n severance Of their relations with the New
Dominion. and for annexation with the United
States. They are bitterly opposed to the en-
forced Union, and feel that the act which bound
them to Canada simply reduced them to the
condition Of subjects to her authority, always
TO be overborne by her superior power in the
common Legislature, and compelled In all
things to submit to her imperial will, there Is
no question.
Nova Scotia opposed the Union In the be-
ginning, and since Its consummaton has
threatened to resist Its continuance by force of
arms. She has appealed to England for re-
dress of grievances, hut her appeals have been
In vain. England refers her to Canada, who
In turn pleads the want of power to dissolve
Union formed by act of the British Parliament,
but In the hope Of allaying the discomfort of
the people offers her an additional subsidy of
two hundred and twenty thousand dollars per
annum for ten years This sim, though con.
siderable, has not been found sufficient to com
pensate for the commerce and industries of
three hundred thousand people, which by the
act OF Union have been nearly paralyzed and
destroyed. Seifinterest Is stronger than
loyalty that depends on artificial conditions,
and therefore Il Is not hard to predict that the
feeling now ripening In these provinces, hav-
ing suoh substantial basis, ssure 10 culminate
In an overwhelming cry for annexation. The
mother country has declared that IL the people
desire annexation 20 the United States she
"will not lin a finger to prevent them" The
United States is certainly willing to receive
them. Can there lie any doubt Of the RESULT ri

THE NAVY SEcRETARysHJB.--The resigna-
tion Of Mr.. Borie and the appointment of his
successor, Mr.. Robson, MS Secretary of the
Navy, has taken the country little by sur
prise, though the resignation of Secretary
Borie has been for some time fntfinated. The
change, we Judge, can scarcly fail to be for
the better. Mr. Borie Is n worthy gentleman,
but obviously nnfitted by age and infimities
for the administration of such department
He has not done much harm while in office,
for Admiral Porter has been the virtual head
of the department, and allowed TO do pretty
much as he pleased. The nett results OF the
Borie-Porter management of the navy consists
In some changes In naval officers uniform, the
Introduction Of few economic details in re-
gard to the handling of navy material, the res
toration of two or three officers from under
The sentence of courts martial. and the rather
foolish and certainly tasteless changing of the
names of our principal vessels, by substituting
for their beautiful and appropriate Indian cog
nomens, such as Monadnock, Tonaw0nda
Kearsapye, the worn out names of tho British
and French navies, such rs the Medusa, the
Beherophon, the Neptune, etc. The new
Secretary has the advantage of being young
and active man, and though he is wanting in
special acquaintance with naval matters, his
ability as lawyer at the New Jersey bar
speaks In his favor, We trust that the tran
guilty Of Grants administration will be such
that the Navy Department will not require
much vigor In Its administration, but remain as
tits now, of secondary interest, and requiring
the hand Of retrenchment and economy more
than extraordinary ability. rec
