The FRENoH DARIEN CANAL COMPANY. -
Parisian capitalists Of late have been watch
ing eagerly the progress Of events in the West
The prospect of a ship canal through the
Isthmus of fDarien now attracts their attention.
The success of the Suez enterprise has given
them the cue to look elsewhere for similar
fields of labor. A short time since company
was organized in Paris for the construction Of
a canal across the Isthmus Of Darien. A COM
petent engineer hos already sailed from Paris
for the purpose of conducting the explorations
in the interest Of the company. This looks
Ikeibusness. 1t is an evidence of the great
necessity of q ship passage between the two
oceans. The French company shows that it
estimates properly the many advantages which
will surely accrue to commerce from the
accomplishment of the great work. Suez
would be only of secondary importance when
compared to Darien. The French capitalists
see this, and hence their anxiety in the cutting
of the isthmuA.

MURDERous ATTACK on AMERICANS IN
HAvANA.--Four Americans were attacked in
the streets of Havana on Sunday morning.
They were fred on at first by rowdy and
afterwards treated in a most cruel manner by
the mob who gathered round them. One of
the men was killed, two others were seriously
injured and the fourth escaped unhurt. The
only offence the Americans were guilty of was
that of wearing blue neckties This annoyed
rowdy and he fired on the wearers and thus
paved the way for further outrage. This is
nice specimen Of Havana rowdyism. It is
consoling, however, to learn that changing
for murder is not played OUT in Cuba, for we
are informed that the Captain General has
resolved that when the culprit is arrested he
will be tried by drumhead court martial and
executed within two hours after the sentence
is passed. This is the only way to deal with
rowdies who travel about with the knife and
the revolver, both ready for use on the slight
est provocation. Would that we had little
such Captain Gencralism in this city.

THE LEGAL TENDER ACT DEoIsIoN-THE
EFFECT IN WALL STREET.--It will be seen by
our financial report that the decision of the
United States Supreme Court produced pro-
found sensation among the ''bulls" and
s'bears," who for an hour or two were at their
wits ends to divine the result upon their stock
and gold gambling schemes. AT first, on the
principle of Hoyle-"when in doubt play
trumps"--the s'bulls" made haste to sell out,
while the sbears" began to hammer the market.
After while the 'sbulls" began to think ''it
wouldn't be much Of o shower after ell, and
so rallied prices toward the close and ayersed

RooHEFoRT AND THE FRENCH GOVERN
MENT.-Some days ago M. Rochetort was tried
and found guilty. He had instigated opposi-
ton to the government, and one Of the results
of that opposition was the murder of one of
his assistants by the hand of Bonaparte,
and he q cousin Of the Emperor. A jury
found M. Rochefort guilty and pronounced
his sentence. The sentence gave M. Roche
fort some time and some privileges. He has
not taken advantage Of either the one or the
other. The time has come when he must 90
to prison, or, in other words, surrender him
self to the authorities. Rochefort says he
will not do either the one or the other. If the
authorities want him they must come and take
him by force. This is the latest If the
French government do not come and take him
by force they will reveal their weakness. If
they come and take him by force they may
reveal the strength Of the opposition. 1t is a
fresh difficulty. To our minds it is one other
proof of the danger Of delay. National JUS
tice, to be efficient, should be swift.

Tho British Empire az Presented 20 Pariia.
nient-Quseu victorin's Abdicafion Can.
vassed In London.
Tho occasion OF the reopening OF the
session OF tho British Parliament to-day
affords us fitting and meet opportunity to
present to our readers an exhibit of the actual
condition Of the vast Old World empire as it
will be stated, in the name of it's ruler, to the
members OF the two houses, Lords and Com
mons. The Crown OF The United Kingdom
meets the representatives Of the peoples sub
ject to the sceptrc Of Victoria in very serious
crisis of its history. 1t is, consequently, of
great moment that the enlightened, educated
and neutral tribunal, the American nation, a
tribunal which will most probably be eventually
compelled to arbitrate the many issues which
will directly exist between the democracy Of
England and the remnants of the feudal
and aristocratic interests which remain in
that country, should havo ON intelligent
statement of the case. This we now
supply. Franchise reform, the rights of
labor, freedom of conscience, free trade, free
schools, freedom of political expression, the
Alabama claims, summary judicial sentences
and Irish convicts. the colonial situation, the
shipping interests and telegraphs, will all
engage the attention of the members. Our
special RESUME to-day will thus enable the
readers Of the HERALD to keep the track Of
the foreign legislative work as it progresses in
London
In this connection we may mention here that
we have it stated in special correspondence
from London that the question Of the abdica-
tion Of Queen Victoria is again canvassed &C
lively in the highest circles Of English society
and almost demanded by the masses. II is
also said that her Majesty has fallen into the
in her case unnecessary-habit Of boarding
money, and that she has to-day the sum Of half
million Of pounds sterling standing to her
credit IN various banks-savings from an
allowance of one hundred thousand pounds
sterling per annum. This Improbable absorp-
tion Of the public money displeases the
people--a fact which was perceived by the
late Lord Palmerston at an early date, when
he, in his Independent constitutionalism and
prudent Cabinet anticipation, proposed an
abdication and regency years ago We shall

THE INDo-EURoPEAN TELEGRAPH We this
morning publish cable despatch which an
nounces the couSpletion of the Indo-European
telegraph This line, which is composed of
land wire and cable, runs via Berlin, Warsaw,
Odessa, Teheran Persia), through the Persian
Gulf and Indian Ocean to Bombay, Madras
and Calcutta and the other points contem-
plated. 1t will be seen from the cable de-
spatch that certain and, SO far as we have
had time TO judge, not unreasonable offer has
been made to the United States. It will be
well, we think, for the United States not to be
too rash in coming to terms. In few days
another line will be completed between London
and the great Asiasic centres. The Great East
ern has,. now, in all probability, almost COM
picted her trip. In that case telegraphic
communication will be established between
London and Calcutta via Malta, Alexandria,
Sues and Alden. When thia line is completed
uA may have even greater sdvaatsgeR

Tho National Lahsr Union.

In another place in this days HERALD We
publish a couple Of documents relative to the
National Labor Union. The one document
makes certain proposals to the New YORK
HERALD. The other document states the
Immediate programme Of the Union. With the
latter document We have really nothing to do.
or the first document we have not much to
say. We publish both because they relate to
public movement Of some importance. Re-
garding the proposal made to the HERALD we
have only to say the HERALD never has been,
is not now and never will be the organ Of any
clique, OF any party or Of any class. We
think OF the United States and Of the whole
body OF the people. Our object is to serve the
nation, not cliques, sects, parties or classes.
Our columns will be open to the labor
unionists, as they ever have been open and as
they ever will be open to any body Of men
who seek to put down the oppressor or to
annihilate wrong. We shall watch the Labor
Union as we watch all other organizations, as,
indeed, we watch all the world. When the
Labor Union does well we shall praise; when
it does not well we shall blame Meanwhile
we wish all success to every cause that seeks
the right and does the same.

TIE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL was re-
ported in the House yesterday. 1t amounts
to nearly three million dollars less than the
appropriation last year, and nearly two million
less than the department estimate. Here is
an instance of the combined effect of Grants
economy and Dawes speech.
