NEW YORK, Nov. II The
World says: The Isthmus labors
of Lesseps have not been in vain.
A Washington dispatch, which
we print this morning, indicates
that they have had the good result
of effectually turning the attention
of Europeans. Capital, which could
not be commanded in Paris itself
for the construction of the canal,
by route and under the conditions
favored 10y Lesseps, can be com
manded by the United States and
its construction, AS Ammeu has
shown such canal ought to be
constructed, through Nicaragua.
The conditions attached to the of.
fer of capital already received in
this country for such canal, are
that Grant shall accept the Presi-
dency of the company, and in the
official capacity thus given him, he
shall apply to the Necaraguan
Government for the necessary con-
cession. 1t cannot be doubted that
Grant will very seriously consider
the proposition thus made, and the
opportunities it offers him, not to
say duties, which 1t imposes upon
him.
A Washington special says: This
morning Ammen called upon Pres.
ident Hayes with q letter from an
acquaintance in Paris, assuring him
of satisfactory arrangement in
Paris for the immediate advance |
ment, when required, of oue-third
of the capital nee 9ssary for the
Nicaragua Canal enterprise, by one
of the most substantial banking
houses of Europe, upon condition
that Grant will consent to accept
the Presidency of an American I
company organized for the con-
struction of the work. The writer
adds that he leaves Immediately for
America to confer with parties in
this country interested in this great
enterprise. On receipt of this letter
Ammen Immediately telegraphed
the facts to Grant at Chicago.
Referring to the shove, the Her
AIDS Chicago special says:
A Herald correspondent called
upon Grant this evening to inquire
just what was his position in regard
TO the Nicaragua Canal Company.
After few preliminaries, the cor
respondent asked;
HWould you accept the Presiden-
cy of the Nicaragua Inter-Oceanic
Canal Company if proffered to
you?n /
81 should not like to say would
accept it," replied General Grant,
"upon the rumor simply that
money could be raised. l should
want to know first that ample sub
scriptions had been made, and that
certain concessions had been OBJ
tanned from the Nicaraguan Gov
ernment."
"You favor that route then?n
"Yes, it is by far the best. The
surveys made while 1 was President
were at my instigation-in fact /
instigated the plan indirectly. l
tried to get an appropriation for the
purpose of carrying out the work,
aud had | been in Office a little
longer, think ! could have ac-
complished something"
'sWhat is your plan as to its
management should you accept the
PresidencyW
"I think it should be neutral
water, and that Congress should
pass an act assuming some sort of
supervision over it, simply to have
an eve to its nrOtectiOn. because II |
