ave have to confess that England is
old and the United states young. "-Times.
Punch sees no harm in that confession,
Age Is a thing comparative:
In History's immense procession
Some realms than others longer live.
What diagnosis marks the time
When any state is in its prime?
America is young, no doubt,
And keeps her hundredth birthday mer-
rily:
Her cannon roar; her speakers spout;
Her toasts and sentiments ring cheeriiy;
And how tall talk in fyttes has flowed
In Bayard Taylor's long-drawn ode,
Hail we the democratic Maid
Self-crowned with Freedoms deafness
laurel:
Nor her large Liberty upbraid
Because its winning cost a quarrel.
Prosperity and social health
To the colossal Commonwealth!
Yet is Old England quite so old
AS the Chronologer maintains,
Whose oldest, noblest blood is rolled
Through the wide Unions youthful
veins?
In all things good beneath the sun
John Bull and Jonathan are one.
Long centuries OF stately life
Are England's birthday gift to herr
Columbia's youth, with vigor rife,
Is felt in Engiand's heart astir.
In Young Americas Centennial
Old England feels herself perennial.

the Theological combination of the

interior might substitute an inboard COM
MERGE by land OF water for q coast service
in which Western interests can not posi-
bly, participate.
New Orleans is, undoubtedly, the postal
centre through which the nation should
conduct its tropical commerce and cor
respondence. This is an inevitable con-
sequence Of inquiry and examination.
We will say here that this commerce can
be conducted upon the existing naviga-
ton Of the Mississippi outlet, and is not
dependent at all upon any future devel-
opment Of depth. The patrons Of the
Brazil bill may rest assured that there
has been always water adequate for the
tropical trade.
1t is very possible that the maximum
allowance of $3.50, 600 need not be insisted
on by the contractors. We believe that
this was the sum heretofore allowed for
the New York and Rio line. New Orleans
possesses the advantage of shorter
voyage, with less rate Of coast insurance,
and the government already pays for q
double daily mail service between New
Orleans and every city in the Union.
While, therefore, we would like, to see the
contractors on the proposed route receive
ample compensation, we are satisfied that
New Orleans and the railroad interests
can underbid any competitor for the rea-
soIs stated.
We are glad to see such bill intro
duced, and amid the disappointments
which Louisiana has undergone with re-
gard to her levees, railroad and Mint,
hope the economists will relax the purse
strings sufficiently to allow justice to the
West, with whose interests Louisiana is
indissolubly connected.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-06-15
STEAM TO BRAZIL.

We were inclined to apprehend that the
Emperor Of Brazil, after inspecting the
addition to his dominions, which had
been so generously rendered him by the
Democratic organs of our city, had come
to the conclusion that to take Louisiana
with her political anarchy and violence
would be no desirable addition to his
dominions. He has already insubordinate
subjects enough to occupy his mind with
out sending crown prince or viceroy to
the obloquy Of usurpation here.
But his majesty of Brazil does seem to
have seen that the port Of New Orleans
lies directly on the line between the pro-
ducers of coffee on the one hand and the
growers of Western provisions on the
other. A bill has been introduced by Mr..
Ellis, of Louisiana, which proposes to ap-
propriate sum sufficient to establish
steam mail communication between the
ports Of New Orleans and Rio Janeiro,
the American contribution to the expense
not to exceed $3.50, 900 per annum.
The REPUBLICAN has long since advocated
the theory of establishing the intercourse
between the Western interior Of our Union
and Canada West and all tropical coun-
tries by line of water and of rail lying
upon the meridian of the Mississippi,
and connecting with the deep water port
of New Orleans. The reasons are plain
as mathematics. It is the line of least
distance, of less time, of less insurance.
At the port of New Orleans unites sys-
tenn of railroads connecting it with every
city in the United States upon time of
not exceeding sixty-one hours. The i'm
portance of this trade line to these in
terror cities is very great. They now
send and receive their tropical trade by
way Of the eastern Atlantic ports. 1t then
is charged with the additional distance and
insurance to which we have adverted.
There is another disadvantage. All the
trade conducted by such indirect route
is taken off from their own river craft
and railroad, and paid to Eastern works
of transportation. This reasoning should
not only unite the whole Western in
terror in behalf of the bill, but it should
induce them to make New Orleans their
port of communication with the whole Of
the American continent south of the
United States. We have frequently
