A Word of welcome.

In the advertising columns of the HERALD
til morning appears the announcement of
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Les lie, grain and produce mer-
chant, at the corner of Pacifce avenue and
Austin street. The advent, ordinarily, of a
new and ambitious aspirant for the favor and
patronage of the public does not excite more
than casual remark, by way of civility, but
when that aspirant is Il young man of energy,
character and brains, whose reputation has
been of steady growth in the community, it
would seem but due to him-and
It is therefore due Mi. Leslie, to make fitting
mention of the fact that marks an event
which, it is trusted, will date for him the be-
ginning of an ersJof uninterrupted prosperity.
The HERALD takes great pleasure in COM
mending Mr.. Leslie to citizens of this county,
State, or elsewhere, as gentleman, whose
experience, discretion and integrity will
insure his correspondents the most favorable
attention that can be paid to orders and con-
signmcnt4 for and of grain and produce.

Diplomatic Matter Regarding Inter.
Oceanic Canal.

Washington, March 9.-Among the doc
umetts sent to the Senate by the President
relative to inter-oceanic canal is report
from Secretary Evarts, setting forth the en-
tirei diplomatic matter of canal. The
main point brought out therein is that our
treaty with New Granada guarantees the
Independence of the Republic and the neu-
trality of any line of transit that may be con-
Quoted through it between the two oceans,
and that this treaty was made not for the
nec,niarv benefit Of the United States but
for the advantage of all nations. Secretary
'Eyarts concludes that it may be assumed
That no negotiations will be had between
private projectors and the Colombian Gov
eminent without duly regarding the in
violable action of the United States under
this treaty.
