The Last Ditch,

GRANr', .upporters have been driven to
their last ditch. The demonstration on the
part OF the Liberal Republicans has become
so formidable tha, the friends OF the office
holders candidate are compelled TO admit
that if the Liberals and the Democrats can
vote foi the same ticket, GRANT must be
beaten. Bat, with n wall of despair they
insist that they cannot vote the same
ticket; that il 40 uld be a sacrifice Of prin-
ciple for them TO do so; and, with their
noses deep down in the Federal crib they
command them 10 nominate and support
separate candidates.

The SucZ Canal.

For u long time the columns Of ;he Eu-
rop,an newspapers have been filled with
the most contradictory accounts relating
TO the Sucl Canal. 1t has been reported a
complete failure financially; it has been
said that il was rapidly filling up; and all
sorts of discoupgiug rumors have gained
currency and belief. After such dolefh
accounts OF one of the most interesting
enterprises of the age, il is quite cheering
10 read the report which NJ. LE>srPs, the
enthusiastic protector of the work, has
prepared for the information of the stock
holders.
From this report il appears that the
canal is constantly increasing It's income,
ana has now arrived ut point at which this
more than counterbnllnces the eXpcudi-
lures. The receipts for the current year
are estimated at eighteen millions Of
franc; the outgoes at sixteen millions;
which will leave two millions, or about
500. 600, 60 distribute in dividcnds-not u
large sum in relation to the enormous cap
tal invested, but still one which appears
encouraging after all the talk there has
been Of abandoning the whole affair.
Ii Is to be remembered that the canal
was an experiment, and that many preju-
dices against il. increased 10y exaggerated
iumors of an unfavcrahle character, had
TO be overcome. That il Is gaining in the
favor OF the commercial world the statis-
tics plainly prove. In $50 there were 1856
vessels that passed through the canal, pay
ing in dues, nj ten francs per ton, 5,lj9,0OO
francs. In ISL there were 1Gj vessels pay
ng S,9J3OO0 francs; while in January and
February of the present year. 200 vessels
paid dues to the amount of 300 900 francs.
Reforms have been introduced in the man
ner Of lcvyiug the dues which will favor
ably affect the receipts. 1t costs $500, 900
| annually 10 keep the canal IN order. A.
ships Of 5000 tons have passed through the
canal without trouble, the question of its
| importance 20 the Interests of navigation
has been settled beyond controversy. NJ.
LEs-EPs says the directors have never en-
tcrtaiuvd the idea of parting with their
! property. The utmost they have said Is,
that should joint stock company of Gov

The SucH Canal is evidently gaining in

the inability of the building yards to turn

creased demand which will arise in cunse

The Condition of the sonth. -.

The manner in which the Southern
States have been pluudcred since the con-
elusion of the war is reproach to the
American name. And it is especially a
disgrace 10 the country that the adycn-
turers who hive preyed upon the con-
Quered and dcfcncclcss communities of the
Routh, without mercy aud without COM
junction, have steadily received support
and encouragement from the Adminlstra-
ton.

White House influences will deny that the
reconstructed States have suffered re-
morseless spoliaicn AT the hands of the
