The Pope has done a sensible thing in
refusing the title of "Pius the Great" and the
accompanying glittering compliment OF a
throne of gold. We are at loss to know whence
could come any committee with authority to
grant His Holiness such title however well
he may deserve it; and he has properly left
to posterity the question of deciding whether
he shall be hereafter known as "the Great"
As for the golden throne, the Pontif just
now sees that the cost of such piece of fur
niture can be better used. The age of thrones
has, somehow, pretty much passed away.

products have formed and that Port Said Is
advancing in such importance as a maritime
port as seriously to threaten the commercial
rpreGminence Of Alexandria.
The financial condition Of the enterprises
rather gloomy, but does not justify the cur
rent reports that 1t is bankrupt, and about
to fall easily under the control of British capt.
talists. The past year, M. de Lesseps points
ont, may be considered as exceptional. Europe,
during its last half, was partially involved in
war, and tho commercial world was not fully
prepared to avail itself Of the advantages
offered by the Canal Despite these drawbacks,
eight hundred and thirteen ships, measuring
altogether 745S37 tuns, with 1894 passengers,
passed through the Canal during the eighteen
completion of tho Canal and the 31st Of May
last. This is, however, very far from the
traffic that may be reasonably expected here
after, and accordingly NJ. de Lesseps antici
pates that the receipts will increase nearly 80
per cent next year. The balance sheet shows
that the company had $4,167,2OO on hand at the
commencement Of last year, and received
81, $4,000 during the ensuing twelve months.
But tho expenses, including the interest on
mortgage .tbonds, and Outgoes which may
fairly Discharged to the construction account,
were S6,GOGOOO making a deficit of :l,l52,SOO,
that, added to the deficiency which also must
be expected this year. will make the Company
at its close So, 100000 in debt on current
demands This adverse balance NJ. de Lesseps
proposes to overcome by contracting loan
for 100000, in the expectation that in 1872
and henceforth the Canal will yield sufficient
profits to meet all its current liabilities.
When it is decided to negotiate this loan
il is probable that the French people
will readily subscribe the full amount, and
thus maintain unimpaired the preponderance
which France has SO far had in the enterprise.
1t is gratifying, on the whole, that the finances
are no worse than the preceding figures demon
strate. The permanent failure Of the Suez
Canal scheme to yield reasonable income would
discourage capitalists from engaging in SINH
lar schemes of worldwide benefcent influence,
and would deprive deserving and liberal
minded men Of their just reward.

and although there have been some exhibitions
of temper on the part Of Earl Russell over
those provisions of the Treaty which he did
not approve, We can confidently rely for the
success of our cause upon the zeal and capa-
city of our Representative, and thefsubstantial
integrity and honesty which forms theNbasis OF
his opponent's character. Lord Redesdale yes
terday brought forward in the House OF Peers
the prcposterous suggestion that the United
States had no claim for indemnity against En-
gland. because we have granted Amnesty to
our rebels. Earl Granville declined
to reply to so indiscrect q sugges-
ton. (which, if accepted or rejected, would
have embarrassed the Government in the Con-

would be accompanied by his old adviser, Sir
ROUNDED Palmer, and that tho interests OF
England, on all points, would be safe in such
hands. It would hardly be fair to Mr.. Adams
70 send him TO Geneva without the best coun-
sci which could be retained, and it would be
only proper recognition Of his public spirit
in accepting the mission to request him to

LIE GENEHA CONFERENCE.

The English Cabinet has promptly followed
the example of the President i'll naming the
representative of Great Britain in the Board
of Arbitration at Geneva. The action OF the
three neutral powers is now only needed TO
complete the organization of the Board.
The President has worthly crowned the work
of the Peace negotiations in the appointment
of Mr.. Charles Francis Adams to represent the
United States in the Conference. The names
of several distinguished statesmen have been
mentioned as under consideration for this en-
inent service, but it is not too much to say that
Gen. Grant has made the best choice that
could have been made. There is no quality
required for such position which Mr.. Adams
lacks - personal prestige, special information
profound legal and diplomatic learning, and
habit of mind equally distinguished for judicial
calmncss and energy of conviction. Every one
expected that a good appointment would be
made, but there will be general feeling Of salts
faction now that it is done. The thanks OF the
country are due 10 Mr.. Adams for his prompt
compliance with this summons TO a new and
arduous duty at time when by long and
most successful service he had earned the
right to an interval of scholarly repose. But
welfare seems like an heirloom in his family
Tho British Government exhibits equal
anxiety to be represented by its very best
ability at this Conference. Earl Russell has
been nominated to fight his seven years
battles over again with that persistent an
tagonist, who never yielded an inch in con-
troversy and never for an instant transgressed
the limits of perfect courtesy and decorum.
In that long duel the two diplomatists learned
thoroughly to appreciate and esteem each other;
and though we would refrain from ungracious
comparisons, we cannot but remember
that while our Envoy ended just where lie
commenced, his firm feet planted on the prin-
ciples he avowed at the beginning, his able
and skilltul opponent had very materially
shifted his position to suit tho immense
changes and catastrophes that had super
yened. They are 70 meet again to measure
swords anew over tho old dueling ground.

COZ HoFFMANS DUTY At QUARANTINE

COZ. HOFFM1NS DUTY At QUARANTINE.
In view of the complete overwhelming, and
unanswerabIe proofs which we yesterday pre-
scented of the charges previously made that the
Health Officer of this port was nothing less
than a pirate on its commerce, will Gov. HOff-
man do bis plain dutyi We have shown that
five hundred vessels have been driven, by this
mans exactons, to other ports; that he has sold,
for direct, unequivocal brides, the towing, steve
doring, and lighterage business to a mo-
nopoly, and authorized it to charge four times
private rates and double those legalized by
corrupt Commissioners; that he has Melted not
less than 100000 year solely by sending the
storage business of Quarantine to warehouses
remote from the business part OF tho city;
besides many other thousands of dollars by
infamous extortions on passengers and sea-
men.
1t seems, indeed, incredible that the Cover
nor can hesitate to order DR.. Carn0chan's in
slant removal and an immediate investigation
into maladministration which has produced
such disastrous results to shipping. Yet he
will certainly hesitate if public sentiment
gives him rest. On the one hand corrupt
political Ring, still powerful though falling
and bent under the weight OF Its exposed
iniquities, urges him to retain in place the
officials who share a fraction at least of their
plumber with the Ring that made them. They
have no argument to advance why these
pirates should remain IN power eX-
cept that they are pirates. On the
other hand, every merchant inter-
terested in the development of com
merce, every shipper dependent for pros
perity on the increase of the merchant ma
rine, cries out against these marauders. AL
most the entire foreign trade of NewYork
is involved in the question. There Is such a
thing as taxing it to death, and these vOra-
cious rogues at Quarantine have no thought
of the ruin they hasten, so long a.
their present needs are satisfied. They
are intent only on present unlawful
gains, and having no direct interest in the
prosperity of trade and shipping, are in
different to the devastation they produce.
Merchants have heretofore been silent under
the threats of further oppression at this mans
hands, for they know his power 10 be abjo-
lutte, hut yesterday they found voice TO eX-
press their Indignation, and united opposition
TO the abuses is now promised A meeting OF
the Chamber of Commerce will soon express,
in unequiyocal language, we hope, the indigna-
ton of merchants at the infamous practices OF
the Health Officer, and demand his immediate
removal Already we are informed dclega-
ton of leading shippers is forming to present
their grievances to the Governor and demand
relief from the cOrmorants at Quarantine
In the mean time Gov. Hoffman must recog-
nize that prompt action in the matter is I'M

cial interest of the city, and, what Is of far
more importance to him, by every personal
and political interest of his own.

THE SUEZ CIN.iL ENTERPRISE.


Since the completion of the Suez Canal and
the subsistence Of the fanfare with which It's
opening was accompanied, the enterprise has
measurably passed out OF the ken of news
gathercrs and Journalists. But the publication

terest in the great work, giving rs it does
much needed detail relative TO the condition
and prospects of the scheme. He assures his
associates that the Canal is now twenty
seven feet deep throughout, and that, after
eighteen months constant use, the banks have
suffered no pereeptible abrasion by the water,
nor the depth been materially lessened by shift
ing sands. During the, past year there have
passed through the Canal the Nestor, drawing

Tweed. No man who has the character or po-
.sition which the Controllership absolutely re-
auires will step into ConnOlly's shoes and go
on with Tweed still presiding over our Public
Works. And, since money in millions must be
had, they must both go.
What can be the use, then, of The Worlds

of the City and County Cess the amount Of

Millions of Dollars, against less than Forty

use in showing that all this has been issued
under the authority Of law-that is, OF the
Infamous Tax-Levies passed by gigantic
bribery throughout the last six or seven
years That Debt was but Thirty Millions
when we last before had Report from the
Controller; now it is admitted TO be Sixty !;
and there arc temporary loans of various
sorts, revenue bonds, bills honestly due
and payable, which swell the aggregate
to more than One Hundred Millions. Mr.
Connolly may collect the last farthing pos
sible on the bonds which he says are to be
paid out of assessments yet to be collected,
and still the City will be in debt when the
taxes fall due next November, to an amount
exceeding One Hundred Millions How much
of this will be due to bondholders and how
much to other creditors, We cannot tell; nor Is
it of any consequence.
The Democracy of our State have won the
