THE INTEROCEANIC CANAL.

There have been three ship canal routes
in contemplation for tbefpurpose of con-
Meeting the Atlantic with the Pacific
ocean-irst, to which allusion has already
been made in these columns, the Atrato-
Tuyra route, across the isthmus Of Darien !;
second, the Isthmus of Tehuantepec route,
and third, the Nicaragua route. From
present indications the latter has not yet
been thoroughly surveyed, and, on ac-
count of certain insuperable difficulties,
will most probably be abandoned. If
there is to be ship canal, it must be by
one of the two other routes mentioned.
The surveys of both are about COM
plete, and will soon be before the public
in the form of reports from the two engi-
neers who had the charge and direction
thereof. Of the Isthmus of Darien route
the report will be made by Captain Sell
fridge, and of the Tehuantepec route by
Captain Shufeldt, both able an deminent
in their profession. During the last sea-
son Captain Selfridge examined the
routes across the eastern end OF the 18th

THE FRENCH ORDER FOR GRAIN.

Some Of our Oldest and best seem to
think that We should have mentioned in
yesterdays REPUBLICAN that the large
purchase Of grain made in st. Louis for
account Of the French government was
negotiated through New Orleans house,
Messrs. Bronson, Stannard & Co. This
fact was not material to the point which
was sought to be explained, that Western
grain can escape through New Orleans
without being eaten up with charges if
shippers will only make their arrange
ments as Messrs. Bronson, Stannard &
Co. did in this case. It is the interest of

What has been commercially done in
Spain obtains ready Endorsement from
the Washington Patriot, and is worthy of
rehearsal for general appreciation. The
government Of King Amadeus has re-
duced the expenses and lessened the
taxes 1t has paid off forty millions of
the public debt, and cut off twenty-four
millions from the budget of public ex-
penditures. This is certainly worthy of
the Patriots approval. The Congress of
the United States has reduced its expenses
some sixty millions of dollars, has paid
one hundred and twenty millions of public
Indebtedness, and has reduced the taxes
eighty millions. Its bonds are above par
and its credit is good for any sum of
money. Nevertheless the Patriot de-
nounces in the United States what it ap-
plauds in Spain. A small investment in
the jewel called consistency would help

New Orleans to cultivate the expectation
of Western produce from this market by
every relaxation of port charges possible
to be made; and if foreign purchasers
can be satisfied that their consignments
will neither be delayed nor taxed at this
port beyond the necessary charges OF
transshipment from one vessel to another,
the advantages will he so manifestly In
our favor that the trade, which now seeks
an outlet through Eastern ports, will
surely be diverted to this port. Every
charge which is not absolutely necessary
should be abolished, for the competition
against US is so active, enterprising
and liberal that even the smallest
fraction of cent counts in
the determination of routes. There are
parties who can not see the importance
of this reduction of charges, because they
look at the matter from an individual
standpoint, saying that if the stevedore,
the drayman, the warehouseman, the day
laborer, or the inspector is deprived of his
commission, the shipment is useless to
the commerce of the city. Such selfish
ness does not deserve consideration, for it
is not only stupid, but it is mean. Every
bushel of grain that passes our levee pays
tribute to some local interest. The ship
that takes it away buys her marketing and
does a certain work of repairing here.
Her officers and men patroniZe the city
in various ways, and serve to swell the
volume of our population. Then the fill
ing of one order leads to the sending Of
another, and the profits which are made
from these transactions inure to the bene-
fit of our merchants If there were forty
agents in New Orleans filling orders. for
grain and food for forty different govern
ments, each one of these men would have
to pay rent, hire clerks, employ the street
cars, engage in amusement, and spend
their money freely. The appreciation Of
these facts led us to make mention Of
the French purchase at st. Louis, and
their consideration did not involve US in
any personal references whatever. 1t
was the trade and its consequences, and
not the men who made it, that called upon
our attention.
