A special received from the seat of war in

From tie S~pectat0r.l

The response from Europe on the Suez-CanRl
affair is becoming still more clear. CONSTANT
nople is alarmed, but silent, and unable to in
t%ertere. Berlin and Vienna are surprised, but,
or the whole, pleased. Paris, though acquies-
cent, is seriously annoyed, so annoyed that
she would almost aid ST. Petersburg to re.
siSt, and St. Petersburg is completely out Of
temper. The Mosc0W Gazette, which is usual
ly allowed to express the true Russian opinion,
declares that the purchase is a most important
event, that England is beginning to exercise
arbitrary power in Egypt, that she has pocket
ed the key to Southern Europe, that a coup de
main has been carried out with consummats
skill, that France might as well seize Belgium,
Germany Holland, and Russia Constantinople
that England is perfectly sure by degrees to-
control the finances Of Egypt, but that the
Powers must interfere before that time. All
this means that Russia perceiyes, what is no
doubt the truth, that England separates the
case Of Egypt from the case of the Turkish
Empire. Russia is therefore anxious, if she
can, to find in Mr.. DiSraeli's action a new ex-
cuse for ACCOMPLISHMENT for herself. That IS
not unnatural, and the feeling displayed does
not alter the situation very much. Russia
hates England 10 a moderate and diplomatic
way already, and woald not hate her more
were she already seated at Cairo. -

me Emperor. accompanied by the visconde Dc
Bonn Retro, devoted some hours this morning 10
studying the working OF the ireleSs engines which
replace horses in the street cars plying between
Napoleon avenue and Carrollton and suburb, some
miles distant from the city. His Majesty took his
seat in the and so studied practically the work
ing Of the system, with which he expressed himself
wen pleased. He inquired infinitely into the speed,
went to carrolton station in order to witness the
filing OF the boiler with steam.
The simplicity OF the means employed pleased His
Majesty very much lie inquired the cost Of the
engine the amount OF coal consumed each day in
generating the necessary steam for working the
line, and was answered inteligcnty by the engineer
I'm charge.
Having been satisfied on all these points, His
Majesty returned to town, where he visited one OF
the nine public schools exclusively devoted to the
colored population. In every class several children
were examined in some branch Of their studies. The
result cannot be truthully said to have been very
nattering but there was evidence OF progress.
IL was noticeable that the colored girls answered
much more intellgently than the boys. His Majesty
was very much Interested in the experiment OF
SuuoosAAiS euo HcgIU, anu remarked tnat no euOrg
should be spared to make something OF him.
The imperial visitor next visited mixed school,
where the children OF white parents and the lighter
skinned colored people are educated together Here
the students were more advanced, but 1t is worthy
of note that the majority OF the exhibition pupils
were selected from among children having negro
blood in their veins.
The unfinished Custom House was next inspected,
but there is very little to see His Majesty soon
took leave OF the Collector OF the Port
He was driven to Thompsons rice mill. The pro-
prctor explained minutely the process OF preparing
rice for the MARKET and as 1t Is class OF industry
in which Brazil may one day become very formid-
able competitor, the Emperor informed himself min

In the evening His Majesty visited the Jockey
Club and afterward was present at the service In
the Jewish synagogue. On his return he received

Conviction on the subject of candidates
and the canvass is no doubt as deep in the
South as elsewhere; but it has not been
loudly uttered, and it il significant cir
substance that while the opinions of the
East and the West in the North have re-
eeived due attention comparatively little
has been heard of what is thought in the
Southern States. In another part Of the
paper will be found many opinions Of
Southern men, and glance Of the state Of
opinion in the South on the candidates and
the more important issues of the conflict.
In what is said by Mr.. Lamar, Of Missis-
sippi, the reader will find ON Indication Of
some consequence to the republicans who
are to go to Cincinnati Mr.. Lamar believes
there are some republican candidates who
would divide the vote of the South, and
that some others would concentrate and
embit.er the ferocity with which the cam
vass may be conducted for the democ-
racy. If. this idea has any weight
it is in connection with Mr. Blaine's 'Jeff
Davis campaign" in the House of Represen-
tatives. That movement on his part exhib-
tied him as the leader in his party Of the
sentiment which would not forgot the war.
1t gave him in that regard some party <clot;
but the fact must be considered, in the same
connection, that it made him the one candi-
date whose nomination would unite against
his party every Southern vote except those
of colored men and carpet-baggers. It APP
pears that the names of best repute in the
South are those of Tilden and Bayard-with
q great deal of hesitation in regard to Bay
ard because he is Southern man, the more
thoughtful Southern men experimenting that
this may offend Northern susceptibilities.
But the strength that would accrue to Til
den from this view is certainly more than
lost by the sweep with which the South
seems likely to 60 for imitation Louisiana,
Georgia and Texas alone are sure for hard
money.
