THE TEHUANTEPEC RAILROAD AND SHIP
CANAL,

About week ago we referred to the
action of the Mexican Congress upon the
bill granting to an American company the
right of way for railroad and ship canal
across the isthmus of Tehuantepec. We
have since studied the subject more fully,
and conversed with several gentlemen in
terested in this great enterprise, and the
facts set forth by them, as we'll as the
official documents they have exhibited to
us satisfy us that we were somewhat mis-
taken in our comments, and that some of
the differences we drew were based on
erroneous Impressions of the condition of
things. Acting upon mistaken view Of
the case, We did unintentional injustice to
President Juarez and his cabinet, whose
influence is warmly enlisted in favor of
the scheme, and still greater injustice to
our old fellow-citizen, Mr.. Emile LaSere,
whose untiring zeal and devotion to the
promotion of this great work bid fair, We
are pleased to learn, to be at length
crowned with entire success.
The old grant, under which the Louis
lana Tehuantepec Company was organ
lied, having long since been forfeited by
the stoppage Of the work, it could not be
resumed without first procuring a new

ON CARONDELET STREET.

Yesterday was comparatively quiet in
Carondelet street. The principal trans
actions were in Slaughterhouse stock, of
which more than thousand shares must
have changed hands in the course of the
day. The market opened little stronger
than the closing on Saturday night, and
soon advanced to 25s, at which figure
twenty-five shares were sold. This point,
however, cid not be maintained. It
was little Too high up for the present
condition Of the market, and sellers came
forward so cheerfully that the stock
dropped back about point, yet standing
pretty firm at a.. The sales during the
day comprised several lots of 100 and so
at IS, 24a and 24l. The lowest point
reached was 24I, at which price fifty
shares were sold after the Board. At the
Board 545 shares were sold. On the first
call two lots of fifty each brought 24a.
On the second call the price fell off to
al. 4. So good nights business as this
seemed to have a remarkably pleasant eff
feet on the gay and festive brokers. Their
spirits rose, and they became SO hilarious
THAT, after the adjournment they became
as frisky as young kittens, and INDUCED
in the innocent and infantile' amusement
of denuding each others heads Of their
covering, by means Of dextrous applica-
ton of walking canes, through which
score Of hats were waited through the
room or rolled upon the floor. At this
exciting moment, the dignity and indie
pendence of the press. were not at all
respected, nor was the journalistic hat
treated with that Difference which its
owner too fondly supposed to be I'D due.
The price Of Slaughterhouse has not,
thus far, justified the hopes of those who

The election of Ex-Governor Vance, Of
North Carolina, to the United States Senate,
ON the twenty-ninth of last month, is not
likely to impede the advance of Republican
principles, if the language attributed to him
is the language Of his heart. On the
evening OF the day of his election he was
serenaded, and is reported to have said, in
concluding his speech: "Every law, both
State and national, should be respected and
obcyed by all our people; bitterness and
yituperstion should cease, and men no
longer endeavoring to destroy each other
should earnestly strive to engender kindly
feelings among all classes Of our c'tlsens'
To bring shout these desirable ends wlll %
the earnest aim Of my lite, in Congress ana
elsewhere"

imagined that the decision Of the Supreme
Court could make it go up like rocket.
It's weakness as yet is, however, perfecsly
natural, and easily applicable. Large
quantities are held by small spectators,
many of whom had bought on margin,
and who were compelled to- sell, or were
satisfied to get out whole, at present
prices. Until this kind of stock is cleared
away or falls into strong hands not much
of a rise can be anticipated. Whether or
not it will become, event here depend
upon circumstances which can not be
foreseen or controlled. In addition to this,
a silly rumor was circulated that the de-
cision Of the Supreme Court was in
formal, and therefore invalid; but it is not
to be supposed that this statement had
any material effect on Intelligent persons.
In the morning Lottery stock sold
600 shares at 82!. After this there was
some demand for it, but no more was to
be had at that figure.
We trust that at the next sale of gov
eminent gold some agreement will be
arrived at between Mr.. Clinton and the
bidders. We can not understand why he
has heretofore declined to accept bids
made by strong and responsible houses,
when the bids were within three-eighths
of New York prices, and within fraction
of what small lots can be obtained for.
Mr.. Clinton should remember that New
York prices can not be paid here, as long
as domestic exchange remains in its
present situation. We presume that the
government does not desire to become a
gold Spectator, but that, on the contrary,
the object of the sales is to accommodate
the merchants, and to raise funds for the
purchase of bonds. But neither object
can be accomplished if rational and legiti-
mate bids be persistently refused:
The following were the offerings and
bids at the Board last night:
