THE NEW YORK CANALS.


The New York Canal Board has made a |
report Of the business Of tho canals Of that !
State for the year 1868. From this report |
We !earn that there are certain charges upon
the canal revenues, made by the Constitution
Of New York, which are as follows:
Fer supnort Of the government. .......s 21OpOQ
For general fund debt, sinking, 1,3N,1o3

of tho canals The surplus revenues Of the
last year we're 3,2293, 900, or about $780,
600 lcas than the constitutional charges upon
the revenues, The estimated surplus for
1863 is $3.50, 900; so any hope Of rc-
duction Of tolls Is entirely out OF tho 4ues-
ton 1t appears that the canals arc mort
caced, not only fo- their own debt, but for
the general debt Of the State. Tho Board
do not expect the canals to be tho perma-
nent route for transportation. Other 1neans
and other routes will be founl, md certain

was, in the position of President with out the suffrage of the South, she certainly had no claims upon him but those ofjustice and humanity. That Mir Johnson has done his duty in this res pect no one in the South will hardly attempt 10 deny. For the last two years he has stood against an avalanche of abuse and contumely from the Rad ical party to do justice to the whole country, and to once again start it on the high road to greatness and pros perity. He stood like Hercules with the mace of his office to prevent the party-serving plan of reconstruction from making desert of the South, but could not hinder the hydra monster from spawning it upon our section. He will leave his office with out an imputation against his character and ability as statesman and politi- elan that can be sustained. Grant as President. will have more power to restore the peace oft the country, and to do justice 10 the South than did his predecessor. Whether he will exercise that power to effect what Mr. Johnson attempted is more than ncan be pronoun ced upon at present. Let us hope that he has wisdom to discharge the high trust that has been imposed upon him.
