How entirely the mind Of the country has revolted
from the theory Of national conduct which radical
guides and teachers had been ncucatng is shown by
the extraordinary enthusiasm with which all parties
and all classes Of the nation have greeted tho simple
and necessary stroke Of policy the purchase OF the
Khedive's shares in the Sucz Canal Who Affect to
be blind what this feeling dscloses3 Certainly
thing all feei and therefore have applauded this
transaction. We feel that the OF Engands empire
outside of these islands has become object
OF solictude to her rulers. Possibly they who
took what has been called audacious step had not
fully calculated upon the heartiness and the

races either monopoly of the schools by the latter
or o war OF races No English gentleman, any
more than Vrgnian, citizen Of Illinois any more
than citizen OF Kentucky would send his children,
and especially his daughters, to consort with negro
schooielows Happily II is quite certain that the cor
servatve majority in the House will treat both these
suggestions they deserve.
Finally General Grant and his advisers demand that
preparation shall be made for the resumption or cash
payments in lS70 and propose to greenbacks

one cent per day for every $100 We have belief in
the last piece OF advice for the rate Of interest the
best security In America Is per cent than

HOW THE ENGLISH PURCHASE MAY DIVERT
AUSTRALIAN TRADE FROM AMERICA.

[From the Pail Mall Gazette, Dec 81
There s one advantage In the possession by this
country Of large interest in the Suez Canal which,
though almost unheeded at present. may In future be
not the least Of the gains which will result to tho
pre from the bold and judcious step which has been
taken by the government In buying the Khedives
shares. Our vast traffic with Asia and the immeasur-
able importance from every point Of view Of keeping
open at all times the road to Eastern dependencies
tend for the moment obscure tho fact that only
is the suez Canal the highway to India but that it is
also the most direct route TO Australian colonies
Hitherto although the mails and passengers have prn
cipally gone this way, very small proportion
indeed of Australian exports or imports has passed
through the canal Moreover owing to the incon-
veniences OF transhpment at Gale and to other cir
cumstances efforts have been persstenty made by the
government OF New South Wales In the face of many
discouragemcnts to establish regular mail service by
way Of San Francisco and New York TO Liverpool and
Victoria has been inclined TO encourage alter
native line OF mail touching at the Cape of
Good Hope SO soon, however, as the intercolonal
railway system is flnished-and its completion Aus
tralans seem to hope will not now be long deayed-it
will become at once apparent that really fast fort
nightly mail to and from England through the canal
supported by all the colonies, would afford far greater
facilities to the whole OF Australia than such waste
full plan of divided subsidies as that which now hnds
FORE which call attention TO the superiority
OF the Suez route, securing at the same time
free passage and speedy Intercourse with this
portion Of the British empire is eminently
beneficial to colonists Such steamers are
plying between Liverpool and New York the
Inman and White Star lines, modified slightly to SUIT
the requirements OF the canal transit, would bring
London within little than thirty days by post of
Melbourne; and an attempt Will almost certainly be
made to establish such direct service when the
stng contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Com
pany expires. II is reasonable TO suppose also that
part at least OF the valuable. freight will
this way, and that In the Australian trade, as
elsewhere steamers VIII eventually TO considerable
extent supplan sailing vessels At any rate, it will be
well TO bear in mind, in considering such schemes
may be put forward now hereafter for the manage
men3 of the canal by 'internatonal syndicate"
that represent in this matter not only Great Brit
and India but also rapidly growing colonies in
the Southern Ocean.

THE sUEz CANAL.
RUSSIAN OPINION OF ENdIAND's PURCHASE
or THE SHARES.
From the Moscow Gazette. Dec. 81

From the Moscow Gazette Dec 81
In consequence OF the English proceedings in Egypt,
the difficulties incidental to the Oriental question have
been considerably aggravated England's step gives
rise to questions OF the most delicate and complicated
nature. There is no precedent Of q government ac-
quring share in joint stock enterprise on foreign
SOIL and thereby virtually extending its territory
The fact OF the canal being international concern
adds force to this reasoning though II the canal
were purely Egyptian, the TRANSACTION might give rise
TO dinlcuitfea Luxembourg was intended TO be
sold, but the sale not allowed TO
be completed As the crowning feature OF
Il ALL Egypt is not even an independent
State but the vasal Of Power itself client Of Eu
ropean guarantors Egypt Is Turkish territory and
the canal concession Is based upon o hrman or the
Porte Has the Khodive right 20 sell portion OF his
erritory-that to partition out the property OF his
suzeran9 ? II s doubtful whether the Sultan himself
would be entitled TO take any such step without the
consent OF all Europe We're the Sultan TO claim in
dependent right 70 sell the harbor Of ConstanDople

allow such claim TO be legitimatef But we remember
