LIGHT on A DARK SUBJECT.

The House Of Representatives has certainly
found out How Not to Do It, The result OF
its long inquiry into the conduct of our naval
officers in Par quay seems to be about as fol-
lows:
I. Admrals Godon and Davis acted in strict
accordance with the spirit of their instructions
from the Navy Department, and were conse-
quently justified in their behavior.
2. Admirals GOdOn and Davis therefore
deserve the censure of the House.
3. The House does not approve the tenor Of
the instructions of the Navy Department to
the commanders of squadrons in foreign waters.
4. The Navy Department is therefore re-
quested to order a court of inquiry into the
conduct of its subOrdnates i'll carrying out
those instructions.
B. The policy of the Navy Department de-
serves the severe censure of Congress, and the
behavior of the Admirals does not.
g. Therefore we censure the Admirals.
The House has been led away by COM
mendable anxiety to relieve the United States
Government from the imputation of disre-
garding the right of its citizens In foreign
countries to the protection of the flag, and has
missed the point of the present dispute. The
State and Navy Departments have both OIL
caly testified their appreciation of the conduct
of their representatives, and have therefore
made themselves responsible for the actions
under debate. Most of this Paraguayan trouble
arose from conflict of authority between
Minister Webb at Rio and the officers success
sively in command of the South Atlantic squad
ron; and if Congress can discover way of
preventing such conflicts in future, it will
render an immense service to the country.

The confidence reposed by the King of llOl-
land in the assurances OF the Great Powers
that the neutrality of Luxembourg shall be
maintained is truly touching. Nevertheless,
Bismarck and Gortschakoff will laugh at the
proclamation which he has issued assuring the
people Of tho Ducby that their independence
is guaranteed. There is no longer any Power
to prevent the abrogation of this or any other
treaty obnoxious to the secret coalition IN the
East No signatOry Power has made
any such positive declaration as Justiles
the Holland Monarch i'll bis extravagant
promise. The English Journals are not
nearly so outspoken on the abrogation OF the
Luxembourg treaty as on the Russian viola
ton of that of Paris, but content themselves
with declaring that the reign of law Is over
Thrown" and asserting the positive and ter
rible things which England will do I" in case
"the independence of Belgium is threatened"
In the same issue of the journal which con-
tains this last assertion of contingent belger-
ency there is declaration by prominent
army officer that, in the event of war In
Europe over the Luxembourg dispute, Great
Britain could not send across the strip OF
" silver sea-" which she thinks an invulnerabe
defense, forty thousand soldiers. Facts and
comments alike betray English impotence IN
European affairs. What other Power is to make
good the Dutchman's promise to his people we
are at loss to conjecture.

DIR. FISH1,S JOKE.

The facetiOus Mr.. Fisk, jr in his suit against
the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad Com
pany, has employed his grave and dignifed
counselor to crack one of the most daring
jokes ever perpetrated in courtroom. The
complaint of Mr.. Fisk jr., which Mr.. Field
recited before the Supreme Bench at Gen.
eral Term last Friday. declares that Ram
say and other directors of the Company have
been guilty of breach of trust towards the
stockholders whose interests they were elected
to watch; while receiving the wages of the
Company, they have used the road for their
private and personal ends, and manipulated
the shares to their own emOlument and the de-
triment of the Company. Mr.. Fisk. jr., charges
that the Ramsay Ring have sold stock for less
than its value; have surreptitiously obtained
control of shares for the purpose of voting
with them have used the money of the COM
pany to pay for their own dealings i'll stocks
and have illegally retained possession of the
books in order to conceal their transactions.
We do not read that anybody laughed when
these accusations were made in the name of
the Vice-President and Controller Of the Erie
Railway, or that the opposing counsel referred
TO certain chapters in Mr. Fisk ir's history which
Judges Barnard and CardOzo at any rate cannot
have forgotten. There was the little transac-
ton. for instance. by which Messrs Fisk ir., and
Gould bought proxies enough with $4,000 of
tho Boston. Hartford and Erie COmpanys

Yet the narrow middle of our continent will
yet be crossed by Ship Canal, as the isthmus
which connects Asia with Africa has just been.
Whether that canal shall traverse Nicaragua,
Guatemala, or that portion of Southern Mexico
known as tho Isthmus of Tchuantepec, care
full surveys mist determine. Formidable as
the obstacles encountered on the Mica
ragua route are, we cannot regard them as
insurmountable; and we believe it practicable
to traverse Guatemala in like manner But
the Ninety Millions of Dollars required to con-
struct the Suez Canal and its ports afford
many excellent reasons for hesitation and
inquiry prior to decision as to the route to be
preferred.
That an American company, under the favor
of our Government, has just obtained liberal
concession for a Ship Canal over the Tehuan-
tepec route, and that an American surveying
party, conveyed by National vessel, has gone
down to make the first thorough survey, are
themes of National congratulation for OF all
possible routes for a trans-Continental Ship
Canal, this il the one which our country
should prefer to find practicable. 1t not only
lies nearer to our frontier and the bulk OF our
people but it gives us communication win
our kinsmen on the Pacific 10y much shorter
route than any rival. Its northern terminus
may be said to confront our Atlantic seaboard,
along which vessels traversing it must pass on
their way to or from Europe. Any Ship
Canal across this continent must ben
eft us far more than any people OF
the Old World but q Slip Canal across Te-
huantepec would be at least twice rs advanta-
geous to us as one constructed upon any other
route. We therefore hope and trust that this
route will be found cminently practicable, and
that few more years will suffice to insure
and perfect the construction OF the Iehuan-
tepec Ship Canal.
