TIE SuEz CANAL.-It is reported by cable
that the distractions in the Suez Canal, near
Lake Timsah, have been effectually removed.
1t is now manifest to all the world that the
Suez Canal is a complete success. 1t has
opened up new channel of prosperity to all
the peoples that border on the Mediterranean.
1t is the interest OF all the nations to keep il
open; and we may rest assured that it will
become more and more the highway OF com
merce between Europe and the far East. The
Suez Canal promises to restore Egypt to some
thing of her ancient importance.

brought to bear upon it when it is put forward
as only another sDoston notion"

General CRAMPS Fishing Excursion.

One of the most serious drawbacks to an
inland fishing excursion is too much water,
and this is the very drawback which COM
PEELED General Grant and party on Friday last
to beat retreat from his trout fishing excur-
sion among the trout streams Of the Pennsyl-
vania Alleghanies tributary to the west branch
of the Susquehanna river, in the neighborhood
of Westport. ''The rains descended and the
floods came," as they come in the rainy season
in the Alleghanies-heavy outpourings from
the lowering clouds, in rapid succession, night
and day. The mountain brooks swollen into
roaring torrents, the larger streams into rush
ing rivers and the Susquehanna itself ex-
panded into an inland sea, simply flooded out
for the time being all the fishermen in those
regions. So it was that the President and
party did beat retreat back to Harrisburg
but even in his retreat he was temporarily, at
one point, headed off by an avalanche of mud
and rocks swept down from the mountains upon
the railway track. The excursionists, how
ever, after some detention, got under way
again, the rain pouring down, and towards the
sunset of the eventfal day were safely housed
in Harrisburg, under the hospitable roof of
General Cameron. And thus ended the trout
fishing excursion of the President and party to
the lovely Allegheny regions of Central Penn
sylvania, for the President and party will re-
turn this morning to Washington.
1t is understood, however, that, though Gen
eral Grant caught very few trout by hook and
line on this adventure the executive railway
Car kitchen and dining room was well supplied
with ''the speckled beauties" on the upward
journey, and likewise with the best of Penn
sylvania beefsteaks and biscuits and butter
and ham and eggs (sc6inAen u,ad oyer), and also
with coffee and strawberries and cream. But
still the great fact remains fixed that trout
fishing, with all the modern improvements,
including steam power and palace cars, is
sport which can't be commanded even by
General Cameron for the President of the
United States in the Pennsylvania Alleghanies
when old Jupiter Pluvius is washing them
down.

THE BEETHOVEN FESTIVAL opens this
evening at the Rink. Day and evening the
grand musical exercises Of the programme W i'll
be continued to the crowning and closing
grand chorus of Saturday afternoon. We
expect that, quietly as this magnificent
Saengerfest has been organized and prepared
for business, it will eclipse in good music on
gigantic scale the grand panjandrum or
hubbub of the Hub known as the Peace
Jubilee. The Rink will hold twenty odd
thousand people, and this evening, we doubt
not, they will all be there.

The Red Men in Town.

s'Spotted Tair and his delegation of the Brule
tribe Of Sioux and Dacotahs, including Swift
Bear, Fast Bear, and Yellow Hair, reached this
city on Saturday last, and were 'put up" at the
Astor House. In the evening they were regaled
with the bewildering military spectacle at Nib
los, and they enjoyed 1t hugely. Yesterday
they were taken to our great Park, and to-day
they will probably 60 shopping. Red Cloud and
his party will leave Washington in few days,
and they will be brought here, notwithstand-
ing his protest against the route via New York
and his swish to go home by straight line"
The special object Of the government in bring
ing these Indians from the base of the Rocky
Mountains on this excursion, is to impress
them with the power of their Great Father and
his white children, and with the comforts and
advantages of civilized life; but this expert
ment from timep to time has been tried over
and over again with various tribes of our red
brethren, and never with much success. We
dare say, however, that even the intractable
Red Cloud and his party will be sufficiently i'm
pressed by the sights and wonders of this trip
to settle down quietly upon their reservation
and go to work; and we think, too, that Red
Clouds revelations Of the outrageous frauds
and atrocities practised upon him and his peo-
pie by rascally whites, will have good effect
In establishing henceforward something like
honest dealings with these Indians.
In fact the plain rhetoric of Red Cloud has
already affected the sensbilities of some mem
bers of Congress. Senator Morrill,, who has
charge Of the Indian Appropriation bill, called
upon hin yesterday And rather enthusiast
calIy sympathized with his wrongs and the
wrongs of his race. He even suggested that
if Red Cloud came North he would find
| multitudes of white friends who would take
him by the hand and stand by him and his
nation long after he had left, Red Cloud ap-
parently did not take to that advice very
cordially. He doesn't care much for this
lip service. He wants his lands, and
he probably compehended on this occa-
sion that Senator Morrill,, who was talking tc
him, was great chief of that very ''council'
that has been in the habit Of giving away his
lands to white spectators for song His big
Indian heart could not take sympathy from
any such source. Delegate Hooper, the Nor
mon, who was present at the conversation,
spoke good word for the Indians and said
the Mormons had never been troubled by
them. Red Cloud thanked him and said the
Mormons dealt fairly and talked straight with
his people. 1t may be that herein is the true
solution of the Indian problem after all.

Who is the Health Officer s-Connict OF
Authority.

Authority.
The gentleman in Brooklyn who has been
appointed by the local Health Board of that
city to look after the sewers and cesspools
seems to have been seized with the idea, pro-
badly because of similarity of names, that
the Governor of the State, with the consent of
the Senate, made him the Health Officer of the
port of New York, or at least gave him
coequal powers with that important official.
DR.. Cochran seems not to be aware
that the jurisdiction Of the Health
Officer extends over all the waters and
everything that floats thereon in what is
termed 'tthe port of New York" which en-
braces an area, according to the acts Of Con-
gress, thirty miles distant in all directions
from the Custom House building. DR.. Coch-
ran contends that when vessel leaves the
Quarantine ground and lands at Brooklyn
wharf she is beyond the jurisdiction of the
Health Officer Of the port and becomes there
after subject to his orders, which is sad
blunder. AS sanitary measure the Health
Officer of Brooklyn has the authority to order
vessel away from any of the piers of that
city in order to abate a nuisance, but beyond
this he has no more right to control vessels
movements than stevedore possesses.
It would be advisable for DR.. Cochran to
make himself familiar with these facts, as any
further conflict of authority between the two
Health Officers may result in the Brooklyn
gentleman being sentenced to ten days con-
finement in the hospital ship on the West
Bank, which would afford him ample time to
study the Quarantine laws and the acts Of
Congress relating to ports of entry.

of equality and universal suffrage. Spain is
deeply imbued with republican ideas. Austria,
the old empire of the Caesars, has made aston

rights and to the popular will. Russia, more
isolated than any of the other great
