General Grant and the Nicaragua
Canal.

Canal.
The interesting despatch from Washing
ton which we print this morning will re-
ceive wide attention on many grounds
personal, commercial, geographical and in
ternational. Admiral Ammen called yester-
day upon President Hayes with letter from
Paris acquaintance conveying informa-
tion of great importance relating to the
prospects of the interoceanic canal. Ad-
miral Ammen is informed by his Paris COR
respondent that one of the great banking
houses of Europe has offered to advance
one-third of the capital required for the
Nicaragua Canal on condition that General
Grant will accept the presidency of
an American company organized for the
construction of the work. The writer
of the letter will Immediately sail for
in this colossal enterprise. On receipt of
this information Admiral Ammen imme-
diately telegraphed it to General Grant at
Chicago, who has deeper personal interest
in it than any other individual, as well as
o more enlightened public interest in the
It is for General Grant to decide whether
he will encourage this magnificent proffer
of capital on the condition named. It will
be impossible for him to say of this as he
said two days ago of the proposed offer of
the presidency of the Texas Pacific Railroad
and some other things which have been
much talked about. that he has not been
approached or consulted in relation to it.
Before he went to India he was in commu-
nication with Admiral Ammen on the sub
iect and while in India he sent the Admiral
o cable despatch which was understood to
convey his consent to accept the presidency
of such company if it should be offered
him.
We have also despatch from Chicago re-
lating to the same subject, and which con-
veys more specific information on one or
two points left obscure by the Washington
despatch. It appears that the great
banking house alluded to is that of
the Rothschilds, and that the Paris
correspondent of Admiral Ammen will
be the bearer Of letter from the Roth
schilds to Mr.. August Belmont, of this city,
and that he is expected to arrive about the
goth inst. The importance which General
Grant attaches to this information is indi-
Gated by the statement that he may think
it necessary to come East next week.
We cannot doubt that General Grant-if
he receives the assurances to which he
refers in his interview with our correspon-
dent and which are such as any prudent
man would demand-will be willing to con-
meet his name with this great enterprise,
and will consent to undertake the honorable
labor which promises him fame in connec.
ton with the American continent second
only to that of Columbus. In fact, it will
complete what Columbus iptendedJ Jfor the
idea with which he set out was to reach
India by sailing directly west. This will
become possible when waterway is opened
through the isthmus and the Atlantic be-
comes the bride of the Pacific. General
Grant would be remembered longer for this
achievement than for the most brilliant OF
his battles, and the civil administration oi
every President would grow pale in COM
| harrison.

THE wEATHER.--The meteorological condi-
tions throughout the country have been very
much complicated during the past few days by
the advance of large area of low barometer
from the West, in which several centres of dis
trirbancc were developed when it reached the
central districts. The pressure is now lowest
over the western portion of the Ohio Valley.
1t is below the mean in all the districts except
OH the Atlantic coast Rain fell in the lake
regions Middle Atlantic and New England
States Elsewhere the weather was generally
fair. The winds have been from brisk
to high in the Northeast, and fresh
in the other sections of the country.
The temperature continues high, except in the
Northwest, where fall occurred. IL Is likely
to decrease, however, in all the districts by to-
morrow night aud during the early portion of

The weather in New York and its vicinity to-
day will he warm and fair, with cloudiness and
