A bold project for the civilliza tion OF
Africa is announced, under the sanction
of Captain Sir John II Glover, M. r. N.
Fowler and other well-known gentlemen.
This is the formation ef q canal for COM
mercial purposes from the mouth OF the
river Beita ON the Atlantic, in the neigh
borhood of Cape Bajador, opposite the.
Canary Islands, to the nothern bend OF
the Niger at Tmbuctoo, q distance.of 34O
miles. Such highway would open up
the African continent to the world. and
it is believed that no formable obsticie
opposes its construction, but that the
conformation Of the great Desert OF ga
hsra favors the scheme. For $50 miles
of the distance theie is q great hollow
supposed to be $50 feet below the level
Of the Atlantic, which was probably a.
one time covered by the sea. This low
country is separated from the coast oy
broken ridge of about thirty miles
through which the River Belta runs TO,
twenty five miles, 30 that all that wonid
be neceee ry in order to raa "a 1T TO deep;
en- the chanell OF the river, cut througn
the ridge, and let the atlantic fall into
the vast arid basin. In this way q hne
sheet Of water would be formed. the
climate would be improved. the country
would become more fertile for pasturag'
and agriculture and commerce would b'
carried into the heart of Africa.

Friday was the tenth anniverss-
nv of the surrender Of General Robert
Z. Lee and the armies of the Confedsr-
acy at Appomattox, Va. A decade has
elapsed since the end of the great
civil war, and how near to areal peace
between the sections has the party
which has been in control of the Gen
eral Government permitted US to conner
1t was but the other day in Connect
cut that Republican orators were trav-
ersing the State maligning the South
ern people, reviving the partisan catch
words and war-cries of years ago, and
doing their best to lash the passions
and fears of their hearers into the old
unhappy condition. A decade has
gone, and from the Potomac to the Rio
Grande there is not Q hostile arm rails
ed against the Union, and a most un-
paralleled peace and quietude prevails;
and yet there are Republican party
managers striving to keep alive the
hate of the bad past and stir the coun-
try up to renewed turmoil. When will
this ends Must another ten years be
devoted to reconstructing reconstrnc'
tion that the Republican party may
have an excuse to live? There was
something in the tidings from Connec
ticut on Monday night that was a re
sponse to these questions. According
to its own confession the Republican
party, after ten years of power, hal
failed to restore a union of hands aut
hearts. The Democracy viii be com
missioned to assume the task now, anC
we venture to say that they will &C
complish it within twenty-four hour
after taking possession of the Govern
lment. A decade of Democratic ruf
will bring back the prosperity, cor
tentment and fraternity which tn
American people have not known sine
they trusted their fortunes in the k keeI
ling of the politicians Of the Republ
can party World.
