LILLE LSTHNNS CANIL.

Americans cannot be expected to view WIN
composure the results OF the international
Canal Congress which has closed Its sessions
in Paris. Their engineers have been en-
pIoyed at intervals during thirty years IN eX-
ploring Central America and surveying routes
for an interoceaniC canal. The results OF
previous observations and surveys have re-
Gently been revised by Government expedi-
ton, which during three consecutive years
eynlored with intelligence and perseverance
every line of communication between the two
seas. What is Che outcome OF so much ana
snch thorough work? In a Congress wherein
thirteen nations are represented ali the DIS
tinctiyely American plans me voted down by
an overwhelming majority, and the conclu-
siors of The United States delegation, with
Vice-Admiral at its head are tippantly
brushed aside. In the final division our ex-
perienced engineers hold alOOf, while the sur
veys and estimates of a French lieutenant
who las passed two seasons on the lstbmts,
are accepted by vote Of II to 5. NJ. de
Lessons has a Frenchman's talent for paying
compliments, but after tho complete ront Of
the American delegation ms fine words have
a hollow sound.
not differ essentially from scheme advocated
thirty years ago by a needy adyenturer Iii
London named Louis Napoleon. The cost OF
boring a waterway through the rock from
AspinVall TO Panama was then estimated at
500. 600, 600. The figures are now set at
$40, 100000, and, curiously enough, the
scheme has been revived by cousin of the
late Emperor. The projected route follows
closely the line of the Panama Railroad 1t
will be a canal of continuous level from the
Bay of Limon to the Bay of Panama, like the
Suez Canal. But it is one thing to dig trench
in the sand and another to cut a tunnel through
rocks that are 800 feet above the tide level.
There is reason to believe that the American
engineers were right in cOnde:nning this plan
as impracticable and in adhering to the
Nicaragua route as an alternative scheme.
Under the Second Empire French investors
were induced to buy shares in the Suez enter
prise partly from national vanity, inasmuch
as il was expected that the completion Of the
canal would make Marscllles a greater port
than Liverpool, but mainly from mercenary
considerations, for 1t was generally supposed
that the stock would yield high dividends.
This it has never done. From the outset the
canal mas Dctn u IUiHtldi ltllult' NdluidIlJ
Frenchmen viii be dislnc!ined to invest their
savings in another canal project, although the
traffic is estimated at 100000 tons and a
net return of $7,500.O00 is predicted. The
NapOleOnic Wyse comes upon the scene a
quarter of century too late. Where will he
get the money for his canal Certainly 1t
viii not come from the United States Con-
gress will not grant a subsidy for the con-
slruction of a waterway that will rival the
transcontinental railroads, and investors will
not be likely to forget the slight which has
been put upon American engineers at Paris.

THEN And NOW.

We heard the drums in our streets once more yes
terday and behind them marched many veteran
older and grayer than when not many years ago.
walkh, TO the same rafting music, he set his lace
southwark toward the great battie-held5. All
then sayOred of earnest purpose, of manly resolu-
tioa, and of definite ann. II was a privilege 10
live in such historic times full IA they were OF DEM
onstration that the old valor of the race yet sur
yIved and that patriotism was 10 unmeaning word
It was day not of theory but of action. Duty then
was simple. The men who then proposed to let the
rebellion have its own way were called by an oppro-
brious name, and made Enthusiastically to know that
theirs neither the love nor the respect Of their
loyal lellow-ctizens. There was q of giving
there was competition of munIhcence. From al
most every house our flag hoated, and in almost
every house there some project for helping
the soldiers. All the money in the conn
try was at the service of the Govern
ment The events of the time took absolute
possession of the public mind. IT we prayed 1t was
for the country; If we heartily sustained any
measures they were measures for UNFOLDING the
Government; if we sang. it was always a song OF
battle: we read nothing with interest except war
news heard nothing eagerly except war-speeches.
So il was from 1861 to 1865. How is 1t IN 1879 |?
The memorial obseryances Of yesterday, not only
here in New-York, but in al parts OF the country,
make prompt reply. The men who visited the
graves of their comrades would be ready at
moments notice to revisit tie South. The popular
MIND and heart have undergone no radical change
There is no discredi;able yirulence nor fierce
memory; no desire for revenge; no eagerness for
war but there is an exact comprehension Of the
principles for which these dead soldiers died,
mingled with some impotence at the turn
which public affairs have lately taken.
1t may DE easy for politicians to for
get. but not so easy, possibly for a soldier,
especially if his experience OF AndeTsonylle or
OF some equally hospitabe prison. Yesterday was
an excellentday for making note Of the wide diff
ference between forgetting and forgyng. We may
not bc savages, but we have not hidden adieu to
common sense and common prudence. We cherish
only kindly feelings toward the South, but we do
not care to commit the Ship of State TO bands which
not long ago sought to wreck it. We propose to call
treason treason, aud dislOyalty disloyalty. We
think of rebellion as thought of it eighteen
years ago. Time has not turned falsehOod into
truth nor political selisbness into patriotism When
we are ready for that we shall cease t. keep Dec
Grafton Day.
Brave men WHO fought for us we have not for
gotten why and for what you fought The flowers
which were reveIently carried to honored sepulchres
nav fade but justice shall smell sweet and the
liberty of all men within borders be kept fresh
and fragrant The blood of heroes has not been shed

or away from Him. That is the gist OF the
whole thing, and we all know it, though only
the preachers talk of it. We venture, there
fore, to urge our readers to look at the ques-
tions tomorrow which this story of the PEN
tecost suggests in plain practical way, and
in the light of these daily happenings. IL
there no power at work now, influencing men
and nations, which is neither intellect, nor
reason, nor emotional passion Is there no
such thing to-day as a supernatural force,
like a mighty rushing wind blowing through
great masses of people, or the mind, perhaps,
of our commonplace neighbors, changing IN
stanty and without rational cause their mo-
tives, lifting them suddenly to new planes OF
thought and actiOnf Did we never know any
body on whom this tongue Of fire had rested;
who spoke the absolute truth to us--truth that
had nothing to do with expediency or money
making, or getting on in the world Ii might
be a great orator, or black laborer, or patient,
obscure woman; it spoke in their lives and
actions much oftener than in words; we called
it as it happened, honesty or charity or re-
ligion But we knew in our hearts that it was
the immortal fire. and that God himself gave
it to them; and we knew just as certainly
that it was something which would Outlast
money and business. and everything else in
the world, and was worth them all. If our
readers carefully think over these things
tomorrow, they will, we are sure, be
able to give to the old story of the Pente-
cost a modern meaning, and will read, too,
the daily record which we shall bring to them
on Monday morning from clearer and
higher pOint of view.

A Greenback newspaper in Washington has

The insurrectionary spirit of the average
college faculty is one of the strongest proofs
of the degeneracy of the times. The out

actually attempted to restrict the operations

purpose Of preventing neglect of studies
