New YORK, August 26th. The
text of Admiral Ammen's state.
ment regarding Grants acceptance
of the Presidency of the Ship Canal
Company is as foil ows: Since the
early part of 1866 General Grant
has taken special int rest in bring

suits obtained, and as to the suf1l-

Congress and the construction of II
ship canal has been presented to
Gen. Grant, and also the difficulty
now existing, growing out of the
action of the Paris Congress in con-

pany, having proper concession, he
would serve as President of the
Company. feel warranted in the
assertion that Grant will consent
to these requests. On the 7th of
the present month telegram was
received from him to that effect.
The Nicaraguan Government has
been fully informed of this.
The World remarks tnat it Is par
ticularly satisfactory to learn that
Grant has signified willingness
to accept the Presidency of an
American Canal Company. 1t is
more than probable that De Les.
seps has recently taken practical
steps towards securing, If possible,
a renewal in his own favor by the
Nicaragnan Government of the
concessions made by that Govern
ment to Felix Belly and Michael
Chevalier. The World thinks Blan-
chot, the engineer who arrived
here last week with Nathan Apple
ton and left Immediately for Gen.
trail America, may have gone in DE
Lesseps's interest to Nicaragua, and
says he will then learn, as we are
glad to be assured by Ammen, that
negotiations have been opened to
secure concessions to Americans of
character and ability to construct
great ship canal over this route,
admitted by De Lesseps himself to
be the bes;, safest and most eco.
nomic.

NEW YORK, August 26th.-The
Herald to-day says: If any farmer
or planter has done so we'll this year
that when he has sold his crops he
finds himself with money to spare,
let him buy land. That is still
cheap almost everywhere, and it is
always safe to own real estate
bought cheaply or at fair price in
a we'll settled and law respecting
community. We should not advise
anyone to buy land either in Mis-
sissippi or California at this time.
The people of those States do not
seem to think much of laws or of
the rights of others, and it is we'll
to keep away from there until they
get done shooting.
The Commercial bulletin says:
Until different order of things is
established in California, one of
the finest States in the Union must
be regarded as having reached its
elimination. Until change
comes, San Francisco can only be
regarded as way station on the
route from the Pacific to the At
lantic, and all hopes of building on
our Weatern frontier a great and
wealthy empire must be postponed.
Capital and enterprise look upon
that State with profound distrust,
and 1t cannot be long ere the pres
ent state of things develops into q
crisis.

NEW YORK., August 26.-The
Albany Argus says: "We want II
understood as explicitly as words
can say it, that all talk from any
quarter, of any kind, that Gov.
ernor Robinson will withdraw, oil
be withdrawn, from the list of those
to be proposed and pushed for the
nomination for Governor by the
Convention at Syracuse, Is utterly
without foundation" The SAINT
paper serves notice on Kelly tha
he has made it necessary for tn,
party to nominate Robinson.
Frank Hiscock states that lie Ia 6
candidate for Governor on the Re
publican State ticket, and says: g.
