THE EMPEROR OF BRAzIL's APPRECIATION
OF CAPT. EADs-AN EFFORT TO SECURE
THE GREAT ENGINEERS sERvIcEs-LET-
TEB FROM DOM PEDRO TO THE CAPTAIN.
Especial to the Republican,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.--Capt. Eads ar
rived here to-day from Long Branch. While
at the latter place the Brazilian minister 10
this country waited upon him and presented
an autograph letter from the emperor of
Brazil, which is an invitation for Capt.
Eads to go to Brazil. A translation is given
below and explains itself. Capt. Eads was
once before highly complimented by the
emperor when the latter was in this country.
He visited the jetties and met Capt. Eads.
Several weeks later Capt. Eads, in company
with many Others in Philadelphia, called to
pay his respects to the emperor Dom
Pedro recognized him the moment
he entered the room, and going over to him,
taking his hand, said, MY dear friend |
am very glad to see you" Holding his
hand the emperor led the captain into an
other room, and there introduced him to
the empress, first in English and then in
French, which latter language the empress
could understand. Presentations to the
empress are almost invariably made by
court attendant, The autograph letter re-
ceived by Captain Eads is written in French
on plain white paper, with no monogram or
mark of royalty whatever The words uni
ting Europe and Asia" refer to the plans
submitted to the Turkish government at the
latter's request by Capt. Eads for bridge
,t.,, 1,tA L..
with simply "Mr.' and is as follows: THE
government of Brazil is in need of an en-
gineer experienced in the necessary works
to render navigabe rivers which are OBJ
structed by rocks or sandbars. l have
thought of the one who initiated and OBJ
tanned the best results in such great under
takngs as the st. Louis bridge, and the
opening of the mouth of the Mississippi,
and who has proposed to unite Europe and
Asia by gigantic bridge and am certain
that the request now made, particularly
when remember the kindness with which
you treated the first citizen of Brazil under
your constitution during his visit to your
country. so great by mans energy, will be
followed by happy results. The Brazilian
minister at Washington will place himself
in correspondence with you in accordance
with instructions which he will receive
from the minister of public works in Bra
I'll. ! will always be pleased to receive
such information Of the progress of your
great works and the execution of your en-
tcrprises as will enable me to appreciate
them. The charming little voyage in your
yacht on the Father OF Waters is one OF the
most pleasant little souvenirs of the long
voyage which made in very large part
Of the world Remember me to your COM
panions at the works at the mouth of the
Mississippi, and believe me yours,
Very Aitcctionatcly,
I'D. PEDRO ID. ALCANTARA.'
