American against Foreign Enter
prise.

The Count De Lesseps came here
as the representative Of the foreign
capitalists, with a great flourish Of
trumpets, and impressed simple peo-
pie with the plan that he was going
to carry out his idea of a Panama. Can
al without delay. But the President
first checked his ardor by reaffirm-
ing the Monroe doctrine Of Ameri-
can control over works of that ma
ture, and Capt. James B. Eads follow.
ed this, showing the Congressional
Committee De Lesseps' scheme was
in1practicable from engineering diff.
cultles, and the enormous expenseit
would involve. He then read to the
committee paper in advocacy of his
plan Of a ship railway. He demon
strated that substantial and dur
able ship railway can be built for
half the cost of q canal with locks,
and for one fourth that of canal at
tide level; that such a ship railway
can be built in one.third or one
or one.fourth of the time need
ed for the construction of canal;
that, when built, ships of the maxi.
mum tonnage can he moved with
safety at four or five times greater
speed than in canal, that a greater
number Of vessels per day can be
transported by tie railway than can
possibly be transported by the canal;
that the capacity Of a ship railway
can be easily increased to meet the
demands of commerce; that the cost
of maintenance Of the roadway and
rolling stock would be much less
that Of the canal, and that a railway
can be constructed and operated in
localities where it is not practicable
to construct a canal. He explained
his plan by means of drawings which
showed pit of 5000 feet long in
which the railway should be made
into the harbor to the depth of thir.
ty feet; then showing the cradle into
which the ship is to be fitted, and
explaining how the ship is to be
kept in place in the cradle by means
of blocks six or ten feet apart; then
showing the railway, consisting Of
twelve rails Of the ordinary width.
He claimed that derailment was i'm.
possible on account of the number
Of rails and the weight ofthe ships;
that there would be no oscillation or
strain upon the ships, even in heavy
gales. His plan has received the
sanction of E. J.. Reed, Chief Con.
structor of the British Navy; John
Roach, Henry Steer and other emf
nent American engineers. M. de
Lesseps said he did rot like the rail
way plan because it had not been
tried; it was not his plan. But
Capt. Eads seems to have the conf.
dence Of the business men every.
where, and it is probable that our
government will patronize American
enterprise in this instance.

When the Grant and anti. Grant
men were struggling for supremacy in
Pennsylvania, the Democrats were
loud in their predictions of a split In
the Republican ranks. But that
struggle was mere pleasantly compar.
ed with the bitter fight now being
waged there between the Tilden and
anti -Tilden factions. They are going
for each other like Kilkenney cats.
The State committee which calls their
State Convention meets at Pittsburg
on the 18th inst, and to control its
action is the object to be attained. It
is generally conceded that if Tilden
controls the Pennsylvania delegates
his nomination is assured. Hence the
anti Tildenites are doing their level
best. But it is of no use-Tilden is
going for the empty honor Of the
Democratic Presidential nomination in
a way that means success; and one
that his opponents being unable to
cope with, hate him all the more for.
The ''more Obligation the party owes
he is bound it shall pay, Or else suffer.
The proceedings in Congress show
that the party realize this, hence they
are careless Of their record, reckless
and desperate. By the way the latest
Democratic combination is ''Tilden
and Fitz John Porter because they
''both seek vindication.''
The Democrats in their endeavors
to make political capital seem to have
lost sight Of Mr.. Woods 81 per cent.
refunding bill which they promised to
pass in hurry. Although this meas
ure is of doubtful policy to Republic
cans yet it would seem that argument
upon it would be safer for the Demo-
Gratis than that now engaged in. Sew.
eral days ago Mr.. Wood made an able
speech on his bill, and his Democratic
brethren, unable to appreciate real.
ly good speech, coolly left the Hall,
leaving their financial champion to
speak to far more appreciative Re.
publican audience. But when Mr..
House made his slanderous attack upon
the Republican administration, every
Democrat was in his seat, smiling ap-
prevail. The average Democratic
Congress can not grasp anything deep
er than stump speech.
The protection Of the Indian Terri.
tory, pending the action Of Congress,
is the subject Of much anxiety in army
circles, and it has been determined
that if the force now there is made.
quate to prevent trespass, the available
force in the East will be sent out. 1t
is not to believed, however, that the
people will disobey the Presidents
proclamation. The opening Of the
Indian Territory is on y a matter of
time. Howard.

The opposition which the South
is now giving to the late decisions
of the Supreme Court will inevitably
injure the political prospects Of that
section. The Court decided that
colored persons cannot be excluded
from the jury box; that the National
Government had exclusive power ov.
er the collection Of the internal as
we'll as the external revenue; that
the national election laws must be
ultimately regulated by the General
Government. But Southern iourn-
ais denounce these decisions, on the.
oretical grounds, as altogether in
consistent with the rights Of soy.
ereign States Now, if the South.
ern people, after going through the
late war and its attendant horrors,
have not experienced a realizing
sense Of the fact that this country
knows no sovereign authority save
that which is vested IN the Nation,
they have yet an, important truth
to learn, and that it rests with them
whether they will yet be compelled
to learn it in q severe politica school.

mittee ID the Donnelly w ashburn

.dacious assertions. It claims that
Donnelly received 23O majority and.

nesota people who innocently sup
posed Donnelly was the most ac-
complished liar upon the continent
behold him pale his Intellectual fires
before the dazzling achievements of
Of the Democratic congressional
artists. The testimony taken by
Donnelly was startling enough in
its mendacity, but the committee
has magnified it until the report
appears like wholly new matter. On
the slender foundation, of a few
modest rural lies, the committee has
erected superstructure Of ambitious
falshood, broad enough to sustain the
weight Of the towering infamy they
propose to set upon it, The Globe
enlarged its Friday mornings edi-
ton to an eight column sheet and
published the report in full. It filled
over IL columns. The minority
report has also been received
from the printer and, if it was
not again postponed, the full COM
mittee took vote upon the adoption
or rejection Of the majority report
yesterday. The finding Of the maj
ority of the subcommittee will no
doubt be sustained by both the full
committee and the House. and the
infamy crowned by giving Donnelly
the seat he was never elected to fill.

The impression seems to have grown
quite general, though we know not
how we'll founded, that the German
Republicans will not vote for Gener-

A Recently-published list of ocean
steamship disasters shows that the
first Atlantic steamer lost was the
President, Capt. Roberts. The
captain was a native Of the City Of
Cork, and relative Of the General
of that name now campaigning in
Afghanistan. She sailed from New
York in 1841. Among her passen-
gers was the Irish comedian, Power.
She was never heard Of. The num-
Der of Atlantic steamers lost since
then has been as follows. Up to
1856, 10-all wooden vessels except
the Glasgow, an iron screw: from
1855 to 1860, s; from 1860 to 1870,
80; from 1871 to the close of last
year, IS steamers were lost. Dur
ing the past twenty years the vessels
lost were built Of iron. This does
not argue that iron are not so safe as
wooden steamers. But the fact is,
wooden steamers are no longer used
in the transatlantic trade, while the
number engaged has enormously in
creased.
