portunity Of visiting Baltimore
Mr. ii. II. Carter, superintendent of the road,
who was present, stated that the road was not
at present doing q profitable business al

and offering better connection with the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad.-

Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin, would
like to get up the idea that there are breakers
ahead for the American people if Grant is
not elected for a third term. In speech in
the Senate, last Saturday, in opposition to re-
Installing Gen. Fitz-John Porter to his rank,
Mr.. Carpenter said that to insure a proper
discrimination between virtue and vice, fix the
proper punishment upon disloyalty and hold
rebellion in check, we need in the White
House once more the steady hand, the cool
head and the patriotic heart of U. S. Grant.
Mr. Carpenter has evidently seen ghost, or
he laments neglected opportunities during
Grants former terms and wishes to commend
himself to Ulysses l., if he should be elected

TIE De LEssEPs CANAI--Presidcnt
Hayes sent q message to Congress- ON Mon
day, in which he stoutly asserts that it is the
policy of this country that any canal across
the isthmus between North and South Amer
lea must be under such supervision and au-
thority of the United States as will protect
our national interests
The President fears, and with reason, per-
haps, that the canal proposed to he built by
the Count DE Lesscps, French engineer,
would bemore or less under foreign influence,
and at some future time might afford Euro
pean governments Il foothold upon the Amer
lean continent Such contingency could
not be regarded with favor by the American
people. While the United States does not
assume to control the South American repub-
lies, il must always regard with suspicion any
project which might result in engrafting
European plans of government in Amer
lea. The President simply re-atfirms the
Monroe doctrine, which declares that any
attempt on the part of European governments
to extend their system to any portion of this
hemisphere is dangerous to our peace and
safety.
