THE NIAGARA SHIP CANAL--From
the Chicago Post we take the following
concerning the Niagara Ship Canal
project;
ain 1868, the subject reached suffi.
cient Importance in Congress to order
the making of new surveys. Then the
Erie interest combined with tremend.
Gus force, and when the matter came to
an issue in the House, it was lost on o
very close vote. If the Western mem.
bers combine with equal skill for the
success of the scheme, different result
may be attained when the next vote is
reached The adverse majority Of GS
is gravely affected by the new appor.
tionment bill, which gives to tho West.
ern states many more votes than they
cast then-l03 votes against the oppo.
sition of91; and demagoguery enough is
not left in the House of Representatives
to refuse to 100000 Of the people Of
the United States the loan of sufficient
money to permit them to get price at
the seaboard for precious grain which is
now fed to swine because there IS no
available means of taking it to market. s.
We cordially endorse the Posts views.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-The opening lecture Of the
season before the Royal Geographical Society
was delivered last night by Sir Henry Rawlinson,
President Of the Society. Abiding to the find
ing of DR.. Livingstone by Stanley, he declared
that the journey of the latter into the interior
Of Africa was most important event, and stan-
ley deserved q medal from the society Tor the ac-
complishment Of his great undertaking.
The foreign Governments, which we're re-
quested by Great Britain to cooperate IN q
movement now being made in this country for
have sephreplies, expressing their sympathy
tive measures contemplated by England.
The steamship Hel7etia, which sailed from
New York, Oct. %, for London, encountered Sc
we're weather when nearing the English coast.
On Friday last while off Portland, her machine
~ broke She succeeded, however, in reaching
the vicinity Of the Isle Of Wight, when she be-
came unmanageab1e, and drifted rapidly to-
| wards the French coast. As Cherbourg came in
sight, the anxiety of the officers became very
great. They were unable to regain control over the
steamers movements, and were in danger Of be-
ing driven on shore. When within ten miles
of Cherbourg they threw up rockets, and made
other signals Of distress. but they we're no!
| noticed on the shore. Fortunately the WIND
changed, and the steamer began to run before
| it, down the channel. The steamer Ethel came
to her assistance. and, while trying to give her
| tow, ran into boat which had been launched
| by the Helvetia. The boat was crushed te
| pieces, one man killed and two injured. Tht
| Helvetia finally turned into Falmouth, arriving
| there to-day.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 12.-The Republic
can members Of the Senate and House at
their caucuses tonight resolved to
meet in joint caucus tomorrow
night aud nominate 8 candidate for
United States Senator. This is Of course mere
form, as there is no organized opposition to
Morton. The Democrats and Liberals will leave
no effort untrie1 to secure Morton's defeat. Yet
that event is scarcely to be hoped for as there are
too few Republican members whose opposlllon
to him is so deeply grounded that they Will ne
willing to incur the displeasure OF their constt-
uents by slaughtering the man who stands cred
tied with organizing the Republican victory IN
Indiana. No one is get mentioned as
his competitor on that side. There
are some among the opposition, however.
who maintain that IN unobjectionable Kepubll-
can could be run in by 3 little stratagem and the
name OF General Browne has been mentioned IN
this connection. General Browne ls, however, TOO
young man to take any such rlska N TINS
affair. Fai1nre would be his political DEATH
warrant. and he is too ambitious to risk almost
certain defeat in so desperate game, There 1s
come speculation as to the ob]ecs OF tie
Democrats and Liberals in adjournlng their
caucuses without making nomination tonight:
and there are hints Of a combinations. Such q
project however, seems altogether lnteaslble,
and, from present appearances, the othcers nom
mated by the Republican caucnses tonight will
be elected Tomorrow By the full party vote.

about a further increase Of the bank rate OF dis

Wall street has been much quieter than yes
terday. The general recovery, whether tempor-
ary or not, from Yesterdays shock is chiefly due
to assurances thas the Treasury would relieve
the markets in case Of need.

One Of the children, US soon as he
