Fortunately for the interests of commerce there no longer exists any formidable opposi- ton to appropriations for the improvement of our harbors and great navigable rivers, provided that the expenditures for that pur- pose are strictly limited to work of national importance The Mississippi river, with its great tributaries, is of such importance to so many millions of people that the safety of it's navigation requires exceptional consideration In order to secure to the na- tion the control of all it's waters President Jefferson negotiated the purchase of vast territory extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific ocean The wisdom of Con- eress should be invoked to devise some plan by which that great river shall cease to be terror to those who dwell on it's borders, and by which it's shipping may safely carry the industrial productions of twenty-five millions of people, The interests of agriculture, which is the basis of our national prosperity and in which seven-twelfths of our popula- tion are engaged, as well as the interests of our manufactures and commerce, demand that the facilities for cheap transportation shall be increased by the use of all our great water courses.

The Interocean1c Canal.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Captain Phelps, who recently left for Paris in the interest of the Interoceanic Canal, in private dispatch says that his mission has been successful and he will return to the United States by the 25th inst. The letter recently received from the General Grant respecting this en- terprise, in which he earnestly favors the immediate prosecution of the work, has been sent to Paris for the information of French capitalists. British intrigue has already been at work in hostility to the enterprise as opposed to British commercial interests. There is now every prospect, however, that an alli- ance of American and French capital will be arranged which will lead to the early inaug- uration of the enterprise. It is expected by the friends of the scheme that preliminary organization will be agreed upon as soon as Captain Phelps returns, and that General Grant will be called into consultation in view of permanent company under an act of incorporation for Congress at the next ses- sion.

The Campaien-Democratic Committee Meetings The Chairmanship of the
 National Com mmittee-Notffication of the Candidates.
 NEW YORK, July 12.-The Democratic Con- gressional Campaign Committee met to-day at noon in the Hoffman House to make ar- engagements for carrying on the present cam- paign. The members of the committee pres- ent were Messrs. Wallace, Barnum, Schen, Banning, Whyte, McDonald, Farley, Jonas, Pasco, Butler, Hunton, Grubb, Hutchins and Davis. Mr. Wallace called the meeting to order and MT. Duncan s. Warner of Wash ington, D. o., acted as secretary. It is thought they will work during this campaign in con- junction with the National Committee and have headquarters in this city. After some informal discussion the committee adjourned until o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the same place. There are two vacancies yet on the committee, which will probably be filled appointed in February, 1879, by the joint action of Congress and the Democratic Ma tional Committee.
 So little interest attached to the doings of the committee that most of the politicians at
 
 speculations relative to the chairmanship of the National Committee. This body is to meet at noon tomorrow for the purpose of electing chairman, secretary and executive committee. Thus far the names of William H.-Barnum of Connecticut William 4. Wal lace of Pennsylvania, and Abram s. Hewitt of New York are the only ones used in con- nection with the office. Barnum is Q person al and political friend of Tilden, and his election is said to be greatly desired by that gentleman. Wallace is the leaderin Pennsyl- vania, and is said to be the favorite of Gen. Hancock. Hewitt as usual is nobody's man, but for all that may turn up a formid- able dark house. His failing health, howev- CT, is a great obstacle to his accepting the position, which is one of great responsibility and labor.
 The members of the National Committee will visit Governors Island tomorrow, and will be met at the commanding officers house by General Hancock and MT. English The letter informing the gentlemen of their non- nation will be read, after which the nomi- nees will probably make brief replies The members of the committee will thenebe sev- erally introduced. This will conclude the official part of the ceremony. There will be a large number of distinguished persons at the affair, for in addition to the committee and prominent Democrats in town, General Hancock has invited a number of his military friends to be present. The cere- mony will take place probably between 12 and o'clock.

NATIONAL FINANCES.

On the subject of national finances my views have been so frequently and fully ex- pressed that little is needed in the way of an additional statement. The public debt is now so well secured, and the rate of the annual interest been so reduced by refunding, that rigid economy in expenditure and the faith ful application of our surplus revenue to the payment of the principal of the debt will gradually but certainly free the people from it's burdens and close with honor the financial chapter of the war. At the same time the Gov ernment can provide for all ordinary expend- iture and discharge of it's sacred obligations to soldiers of the Union and the widows and orphans of those who fell in it's defense.

POPULAR EpuCATIoN

Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither justice nor freedom can be permanently main tained. Its interests are entrusted to the States and the voluntary action of the peo- pie. Whatever help the nation afford should be generously given to aid the States in supporting the common schools. But it would be unjust to the people and dangerous to the Constitution to apply portions of the revenues of the nation or of the States to the support of secular schools. The sepa- ration of Church and State in everything relating to taxation should be absolute.
