ship Canal Across tsae Esf1aansts.

In reference to ship canal across
the isthmus of Darien, much has
been said, corjectured and written.
We now have a report from Com
mander Selfr;dge to the United
States Government, eudeavoring to
show that a good ship canal can be
constructed across tie iStllmus ut a
cost of, about SI2a 600. 900. The
eastern terminus would be iii the
Darien bay, from whcIce the route
would pass up the -Ntrato river a
distance OF 80 miles to the mouth
Of the Naplpi river. Prom this
point it would pursue 4 direct line
to tie Cun-ca bay III the iacltic
ocean. Tie Commander estimates
that $500, 900 would be sufficient to
construct all necessary locks, As the
.ttrato river is naviyable. \ tun-
uel, five miles long, 10 feet high
and 20 feet wide. necessary to be
constructed for the passage of ships,
is estimated to cost S3S 900, 900.
The figures are large; but if the
plan OF Commander Sel.ridge is a
good one, commendiuy itself to the
Judgment of those who have 50
long been looking for something
feasible to develop in that direction,
the canal may be built in the pro
cess OF time.

,rlle Texas .syictOry.-

While the Democratic papers ire
blowing over their victory in Texas.
the only success they have had this
year. it becomes interesting to know
how the victory was obtained. The
Washington correspondent OF the New
York 1rtDuaee states that letters from
Texas give particulars as to how the
Democracy carried that State. The
Republican vote in the more thiniy
populated counties has been decreased.
and one OF the ways of bringing about
this result was for Democratic can
vassers to call at the cabins and dwell
linGs of the poorer people with a list
OF the registered voters, and demands
from each one ali account Of how he
was going to vote-wlletEer for the
Democrats or ''scoundreliy Radicals. -
These canvassers would tell the white
voters what fearful con equences would
follow the last named vote how they
would be scolned by all their race,
their children would be insuIted and
their wives oStracised. If Il merchant
or other person dependent on patro-
mage, it was sugge sted that loss Of
custom would be the consequence.
The eolored people We're threatened
with loss of work and conseqGent
starvation. This sort of thing was
skiffully done. SO as TO avoid the lax,
and was very effectual in its results.

erty. 1t is impossible to estimate the
amount of damage done, and if judgment
could be obtained after a long and har-
RAISING lawsuit, it is more than probable
that the property holders would never
realize a cent of it. They can not expect
to be benefited by long and ~vexatious law
suits any more than our city. The city
has already too much litigation on its
hands. Thousands of dollars have already
been spent in paying lawyers fees that
should have been paid for substantial i'm
p~rovements.
If the ~lessees of the New canal are
guilty of a noncompliance with the
stipulations of their lease, and through
hat fault are in any way responsible for
the great disaster that has befallen u
city and a portion of its people, let them
suffer the loss of their lease. They do
not deserve to enjoy its emoluments if
they have ~flagrantly neglected to do
that which the law requires them to do;
that which they are enjoined to do by
the charter originally granted by the
Legislature authorizing the building of
the canal and the shell road running
along its bank, If the present lessees
have forfeited their lease by failing to do
all that the charter required of the
original incorporators of the canal COM
pany, why let them suffer in that way.
But do not suit for damages
that can never be recovered, and leave
the lessees in a condition to infict further
injury by remaining in control of the
New canal.
The people want to be protected against
these damaging overiows in the future.
They have little faith in recovering dam
ages for injuries already sustained and
the best way to secure protection in the
future is to hold to a strict accountability
the parties whose neglect has brought on
u present troubles. Whoever they are
they should be removed, and more faith
full men appointed to fill their places.
The fault, in our opinion, is not alto
gether with the ~lessees. If they are
guilty, they are not alone in their guilt.
There has been criminal neglect in Off
cial quarters in not before enforcing the
lawful rights of our people. If the ~lessees
are really guilty of bringing On the pres
ent disaster to our people, they have,
from official negligence or imbecility,
been permitted to pursue their guilty
course for more than a year.
