captain CoWdon, alter many years Of
hard work, has obtained from the State Of
Louisiana recognition of his projected
ship canal from New Orleans to the Gull
of Mexico through Barataria bay. The
opposition in the Legislature to the pas.
sage of the act granting authority to or.
ganize the Barataria Ship Canal Company,
came from those who were under the in.
fluence OF Captain Eads, who considered
the ship canal a rival route to the sea
and as likely to impair the value of the
jetty stock. The supporters of the ship
| canal very properly announced that if the
friends of the jetty scheme desired an
outlet to the gulf they could not object in
good faith to ship canal. The charter
of the Barataria Ship Canal Company, re-
Gently approved and promulgated by Gov
ernor Nichols, gives to the company five
years in which to commence the building
of the canal, and fifteen years in which to
complete it. The length of the canal
from the river bank opposite New Or
leans to the deep water of the Gulf OF
Mexico is sixty-fve miles. The cost of
construction, including locks at New Or
leans, digging channel twenty-four feet
deep and $50 wide, sea walls beyond Fort
Livingston, and all the machinery and
materials necessary for the work, is
100000 per mile. The distance from New
Orleans by the Baratalia ship canal to the
mouth of the Mississippi river is fifteen
miles shorter than from New Orleans by
the river. The water route from New
Orleans, or to be more accurate, from
points opposite New Orleans to the Gulf,
through Barataria bay, has been opened
and navigated for 100 years. Nature has
long since made it an outlet and open
way to the sea; mans efforts are now
needed only to enlarge and deepen it to
float the commerce of the Mississippi
valley at trifing expense.
The Barataria Ship Canal Company has
been granted rights and powers to use the
canal for the reclamation of the lowlauds,
and the State of Louisiana has ceded the
public swamp lands to this company at
fifty cents per acre, whenever the COM
pany sees proper to have the lands en-
tered in its name Captain Cowdon be-
lieves that when the canal has been built
with depth of twenty-four feet, it will
have capacity enough to carry OFF the
water to drain and reclaim, for The use OF
the company and for farming purposes, q
half million acres of the best sugar lands
in the State. The cost of reclamation is
estimated at fifty cents per acre.
The Barataria ship canal has already re-
ceived the thorough Endorsement of The
most competent engineers in the United
States, and its approval by the Legislature
of Louisiana, whose members understand
the character of the public work and it
utility, has given proper recognition o
the genius of Captain Cowdon, whose de
votion to the cause of cheap transporta
ton and the commercial interests of tn,
Mississippi valley has made his name
household word in every house on th
banks of the lower Mississippi. Nemphi

Financial Yirtue,

George Walker writes in theBaugers'
Magazine for April:
A class of loans which has done more
than any other 10 bring our banking in
stitutions into grief within the last TWEEN
ty years is that on railroad bonds. There
is no danger that this mischief viii be
repeated in the early future, but it is still
pertinent, in spite of all that has been
said or written about it, while the expe-
rience is fresh and painful, TO point out
the reason why such loans were disas-
trous and to indicate the inherent quality
which made them SO. This leads me to
say few words about commercial, OF,
perhaps, should lather say financial
crisis and the steps which lead to them.
The soundest motions and practices pre-
vail in the business world after crisis
and liquidation. Conyelescence and
repentance go hand in hand the
world over. When business is fair
~ resumed, in the good time now
coming, We shall see every class
oEaSDusiness men proceeding with
the greatest caution. Miners and man
utacturels will be careful not to overstock
the market; merchants will sell on short
credit, and scrutiniZe the means and
character of their customers; banks will
keep their money in the till rather than
make doubtful loans; investors will be
content with low rate of interest so long
as the security is undoubted; speculation
and the Spectator will be read out of all
decent society, and the men who get up
pools and corners will be avoided by all
who need credit and are careful of their
reputation. Contentment, economy and
good morals will prevail, and for time
we shall constitute model society. But
by-and-by we shall tire of too much yir-
tue; the wheels of industry and exchange
will move more rapidly; competition viii
be sharper; accommodating profits will en-
courage more luxurious living; luxury
will multiply wants faster than the in
crease of means; higher profits will be
demanded and greater risks will be as
sumed to realize them; speculation, which
is oftener the offspring of artificial wants
than the of the love Of gambling for its
OWE sake, will take the place of slow and
Flooding industry. This will be the pro-
gress made of things in one direction. 4
progress made potential, and not less
dangerous, WILL at the same time, 30 on
in another. Capital accommodates more
rapidly in prosperous seasons than the
chances which offer for its employment.
Surpluses accumulate, and with them the
channels of investment widen. The first
use of surplus is TO increase reproduce
tive capital. To augment it too rapidly
would lead to over-produotion and over
trading, and these will inevitably occur
before capital consents to seek remoter
and slower resting places. But seek them
ultimately it must and ought, for other
wise civilization would cling to its old
centers, and the extremities would never
be opened or enriched. This process in
wolves the conversion of floating into fixed
capital, or, to use the more expressive
European phrase, the immobilization. of
capital. Capital arizipg from the profits
of business, and invested in lands, build
ings, factories, railways and furnaces, is
thus immobilized.

The announcement of the appointment
Of Ex-Governor Noyes as minister to
France, "was SO long ago forshadowed in
our Washington dispatches" that tho news
that il is soon to be made does not take
the city surprise. Governor Noyes earned
his appointment by his speech nominating
Hayes to the Cincinnati convention, by
his labors in New Orleans after the cleo
ton, and by his subsequent work in Tai
lahassee. No one rushed to the front
quicker than he when there was a de-
mand for assistance. That the President
should recognize his services, was natural.
The appointment viii have a tendency to
counterfeit an impression that appears to
prevail that the President as we'll as the
Republic, is ungrateful. Our best wishes
60 with the Governor, and we hope be
will succeed In his diplomatic position AZ
we'll IS be did In that Of Governor. - Gin.

what cepsrAl sherman thinks Of me

What General sherman Thinks Of the
War.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer says:
General Sherman thinks that the Turko-
Russian war will eventually eliminate in
the greatest outbreak which has occurred
for centuries past; that Austria will soon
be in it, and that before Constantinople
is taken England will probably interfere,
and thus become involved. He says that
large army Of Russians will cross the
Danube somewhere between Rustchuk
and Varna, and that both of these cities,
with Silistris, will be the scenes of great
fighting. The Russians will push on into
Moldavia, and down to Galatz, if they can
get there. At that place, he thinks, a
terrific battle will be fought bu, in his
opinion the great field battle of the cam
paign will be fought at Schumia, the i'm
mense fortified camp of the Turks. He
thinks the Russians are moving with an
army of about 300 600 men 10 that direc-
ton. He is OF opinion that if the Rus
SLAMS are paying gold for what they use
in the Moldavian and Wailaehian pro-
vinces, the farmers will continue to go on
and raise their crops; but if they take by
force, and devastate the country, then the
farmers business in that great producing
country will entirely suspend. He says
the Turks will make a more determined
resistance than they have ever made be-
fore, and that their navy now in the Black
sea is far superior to the Russian, and
that it would not surprise him if the
Turks perpetrated bold flank movement
and captured Odessa in the Black sea, the
chief depot of supplies, etc, for the
marching armies of the Gar. He be-
lieves that before the war is over the map
of the continent and of Eastern Europe
will be very much changed. General
Sherman says all officers of the American
army who get leave of absence to go
across the sei, must do SO at half pay, and
that it is decided that they can not be on
the staff of any General of either side, and
that they can not become engaged on
either side in any manner.

MIR. ridden. Plan for MIR. Field.

It has been reported that Nicholas Null
Ter, Congressman-elect from the first dis
trict of New York, would resign his seat
in Congress in favor of David Dudley
Field. Mr.. Muller is at present in Al
bany. Mayor Ely said yesterday that
there was foundation for the report. Mr..
Muller held position in connection with
the Erie railroad worth, it is said, $1,000
or $4,000 year. which he would have TO
give up in case he went to Congress. 1t
was understood, also, that he had suf-
fered pecuniarily from recent invest
ments, and that though possessed of a
comfortable estate, he was unwilling to
sacrifice position yielding him so secure
an income. Shortly after his election Mr.,
Muller said to friends that he had no de-
sire to go to Washington. Mayor Ely
thought that Mr.. Muller had no fondness
for the work of legislation. 1t had been
suggested that as his feelings were of this
nature, Mr.. Muller should resign, and use
his influence to secure the return of David
Dudley Field in his place. No pressure
had been brought to bear to induce him
to take this course, and it was not under
stood that he would be urged to resign.
Mayor Ely thought that Mr.. Muller's
constituents would yield ready support
to Mr.. Field if it were thought best for
the party to bring him forward again in
this way. When asked if the reported
arrangement was promoted in accordance
with Mr.. Tilden's wishes, the mayor re.
piled that such was his understanding.
He believed that Mr.. Tilden favored the
plan in case of Mr.. Muller's withdrawal,
and if that were true the Democrats OF
the first district would doubtless be glad
to follow his suggestion. At present al
depended upon Mr.. Mullers decision.

has been better than usual. Saturday
evening be was taken seriously i'll, but the
disease yielded to medical treatment, not,
however, before his nervous system had
been-so terribly prostrated that it soon
became evident that his days were num-
bered. He was conscious to the last, and
his death was more like falling asleep
than q struggle with the king of terrors.
His has been an eyentful and stormy life,
but his death was as calm as the waters
which received the command, "Peace, be
still"
