THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

ADMIRAL AMMEN AWAITING THE RETURN OF
GENERAL GRANT BEFORE ORGANIZING THE
NEW COMPANY.
Rear Admiral Ammen said yesterday that he has
already addressed communication to the Nicars-
guam government on the subject of General Grants
consenting to assume the presidency Of responsible
company for the construction Of an interoceanic
canal He did this in order to warn that govern
ment against all Irresponsible parties who might
apply for q concession. No company has been as
yet formed. and action will be taken prior TO the
return Of General Grant who is expected to arrive
San francisco at an early date. There can be no
doubt. in the opinion of the Admiral, Of the entire
of enterprise started under such auspices
tween the Gulf and the Pacific. the Admiral reiter
ated the views expressed by him before the recent
International Congress at Paris. These views are as
ollows:-First, that the discussion in Paris has
question only the Nicaragua aud Panama routes
need critical examination, and that sufficient infor-
nation exists to all other routes; second, that
the canal niveau by the Isthmus of Panama, either
with or without tunnel. has been shown to be
hopeessly impracticable, IL considered
commercial question. At the Congress 1t
quite apparent AZ the two routes presented
and discussed that the able engineers generally
ranged themselves on the side OF the Nicaragua
route What the effect OF the organization of new
company, with General Grant at the head would be
on the Do Lesseps project the Admiral declined TO
express opinion. The deep interest taken by all
nations IN the question OF water communication be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific, and the
advantages to be reaped from it in the commerce of
the world has now assumed, he said, an eminently
practical shape and must inevitably lead
ful results The question OF cost he considered .
secondary consideration compared with the future
benefits.

That ambition certainly exists, however indehnt
its aims ana opportunities may be. The notion o.
becoming the Presidential candidate OF some kind o.
party or other in election which would ult in
throwing the choice into the House of Representa-
tiyes became familiar To General Buffers mind in
connection with the Impeachment of President
Johnson, and has ahlded in il ever since. He was
disappointed that that mpeachment did not result
in breach OF the republican party. He will be dis
appointed II there is not third party in 1880 with
which he can associate himself with Massac husetts
at his back. He has wise belief that u local foun-
daton is essential to start in national politics,

AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY.
One of the most peculiar features of General
Buffers present attitude is that he is not in the field
yet the nominee OF any convention. but SELF
constituted candidate in response to petition
signed By $4,000 voters. Several delegate conyen-
tions are. however, soon to be held, to which his
will be presented and soipe OF which certainly
will adopt 1t. The first III order will be one called
by the "Butler Democratic State Committee" ON
September II, and then will follow called by an
'indepandent State committee purporting to rep
resent the $4,000 petitioners. Next will come tho
Prohibtionists' Convention, which has been SUM
moned for September "a. The "Iiegular Democratic
State Committee has not yet called it's convention.
Having thus sketched the difficulties and motives
of General Buffers canvass reserve the execution
OF the same duty in respect to the republican and
Irregular democratic canvasses for another letter.

THE FISHERY QUESTION.
NOT A TREATY AT ALL.

IFrOm the PHHadelphia Ihqulrer.J ---
1t is now the only dispute pending between tho
United States and England. and the delay on the
part of the of the latter to close upon
terms which by our government recognized as
equitable has made the desire common that the ex-
listing treaty between the two nations shall be abro
gated 1t still has several years to run, but it in
itself unsatisfactory thar the demand tor its i'm
mediate termination should be made. 1t is, in fact
treaty ut all. SO long Canada, colony Ut
Great Britain, pass and enforce local laws which,
under its provisions, nugatory and the validity
of which laws sustained by the mother country.
= Decidedly the wisest plan would be for
government to demand the conclusion of the pres
ent treaty and to open the entire question anew. 1t
is England not the United States, that has thrown
obstacles in the way of settlement.

Greenback Meeting.

Messrs J. H. Randall and w. S. Lurton,
the Moody and Sankey of the Greenback
movement entertained houseful of Green
hackers at Congress Hall last night. Their
method of conducting political meeting is
unique. They remind one who is familiar
with negro minstrels of the end men in one of
their performances. Mr.. Lurton puts to Mr.
Randall questions which the latter proceeds
to answer, then they sing, and afterwards
put more questions. The questions
and the answers make up what
they call the Greenback catechism. Some of
the answers given are true, many false, but
the majority are simply absurd. The first
question is:
"What is the object of government"
And the answer is
1T is established ostensibly to protect the
people, but most governm entS, and particular
ly the United States Govern ment for the past
sixteen years, has legislated to rob Them
The Republican party is described as ''na-
tional buzzard, fattening on the carcasses rob-
bed and murdered by the enforcement of John
Sherman's hell-born, happiness-annihilating
financial bondocratic, poorhouse filling, resump-
ton policy This reminds one forcibly of
some of our own Fogg's fearful denunciations.
To the question what is National bond the
answer is, ''it is an invention of the devil, i'm
parted to the labor-robbers in all governments,
sort of financial trap set by the rich to catch
the wealth earned by the laboring poor
Here is a series of questions and answers:
Who own the United States?
The people of course.
Who owns the people?
The bondholders
What will be the portion of the bondholders
ii they don't stop their unjust demands?
Hell and damnation.
But Beecher says there is no hell?
Then the voting millions against the bond
holding thousands will get up one for short
time for their especial benefit.
1t was on this and stuff like this that the au-
dience was RECALLED for an hour and a half
Or so. Occasionally songs were interspersed.
Here is one of the most stirring:
Oh; pay the debt with Greenbacks
And stop contraction
Twill start up all the foctories
And fast will run the looms.
The boys will all be happy,
Will work the live long day.
Well hear no more of '"Trampng,''
For labor then will pay,
We're down on thieves like Sherman,
And Tilden, he's go,
And the Shyloek Jew named Belmont
Ways the National lo-cofo
Then join the Greenback party,
And then We'll pay the debt,
In solid silver money
And GreenbackS too YOU bet.

Barnun

To say that Barnum's show this year is the
best that ever travelled would be invidious To
say that it is the best Barnum ever travelled
with is saying all that can be said, and is say
ing just what Mr. Barnum himself says, and
with which the thousands who witness it to-
day will agree. There are a few things that
everybody recognizes as part of Barnums
show last year and year before last, but there is
much that is new, and even those which are
not have many new features and are seen with
new pleasure. 1t would be impossible, and al
low space for our usual variety, to give an idea
OF all that is worth noticing in this show. And
what is the need of it when we have given over
the attractions so many times 1t is not guess
work-the statement that five thousand people
will attend this afternoon,-it is from careful
estimate by disinterested persons. The crowd
this afternoon will be simply immense, and
make the veteran Snowman happy as clam.
There are several things that are worthy of
special notice, as the hurdle-riding of Mile.
Linda Jeal, and her dash through flaming cir
Giles; the astonishing feats of magic by the
Egyptian Jugglers; the wonderful and grace
full riding of Madame Dockrill, on one and on
four bare-backed horses; the beautiful drawing
room manege act by Miss Emma Lake; the
leaping stallion; the poises, plastique and aero
baltic feats by the Herbert Brothers; the daring
riding of Signor Sebastian; the beautiful stall
lions, &c, &C., any one of which is whole en-
tertainment in itself. But this is only small
part of the show. Nor should the extensive
menagerie of animals, many of them rare, nor
the Museum, nor the Living Curiosities, be
forgotten. An hour may be pleasantly and
proftably spent in this part of the exhibition.
Ten thousand will go to rest tonight firm in
the belief that Barnum is the biggest man in
the world, and his Gown and only the great
