WUEET NC W. VA. TUESDAY, MORNING. MARCH %, 1881.

Department. Kirkwood, either through
stnbbornness or his inability TO take
hint. has thus far failed TO make the ap-

Another st. Louis Swindle Exposed.
WASHINGTON, March 2l.-Secretary
Blaine makes public communication
from the Bank OF England concerning
notice or hand bill OF st. LOUIS notary
public relative 10 unclaimed dlvluenus,
in which he refers las 10 integrity, &c,
nv permission, TO the Bank OF England.
The letter states that the notary IS not
i'm any way authorized to use the name
Of the bank as q reference, and adds that
from the terms OF a notice received from
AN apparently poor woman in Living,
stone, Cornell county, Ills, it would
seem these notices are being extensive
ly circulated In the United States. The
supposition is confirmed by a marked
increase in the previously large number
OF yroundless applications for unclaimed
moneys by the bank firm OF the United
States. Nearly the whole OF these APP
plications are SO far as the bank IS con-
cerned, based on erroneous data obtain
ell probably from very old lists oil I'M
claimed dividends which referred TO
funds long since reclaimed, or from
advertisements that appear when re-
claims are made.
What is Proven.
One million of dollars per month Is
being taken from the taxpayers OF the
country through the defeat OF the Demo
cratic three per cent. Funding bill by
the veto Of Mr.. Hayes.
This sum of money, il saved as 1t
should have been and applied to the
improvement OF the Mississippi river,
would make that great highway Cf com
merce an efficient competitor with the
grasping railroad monOpDllsts.
This immense sum OF money, II saved
and applied in aid Of an inter-Oceanlc
canal or ship railway, would, unite the
Pacific and Atlantic oceans by the prac,
tical annihilation OF three thousand
miles of travel.
Such result would change the direction
of large portion Of the worlds COM
merce and add immeasurably to the
wealth of the producers and merchants
of the Unitcd States Washington Post.

A Scheme to Build q Ship Canal Across

the State.
PHILADELPHIA, March 2l.-Now that
the Philadelphia capitalists, who are
about to reclaim the immense tracts oil
land in the State of Florida, known as
the Everglades, have completed their
contract with that State, it is no longer
q secret that one OF the main features OF
the gigantic scheme is the building oil
ship canal across the State OF Florida.
This project almost equals in importance
that of reclaiming Il, 1000, 900 acres OF the
richest land in the world south oil the
frost belt.
A ship canal across the State OF Flor
ida has been the dream OF engineers Tor
Years. Itwould not only shorten the dis
tance between the American ports on
the Atlantic coast aud all Europe an
ports 10 New Orleans, Mobile and all
shipping ports on the Gulf OF Mexico,
but il would avoid the dangers to navi-
CATION which are experienced on the
countless KEYS and coral reefs OIL the
southern and southwestern coast oi
Florida. All ship captains know OF this
danger which is aggravated by hurrl-
canes, which are common TO the south
ward of Florida, but which are compar-
atively unknown on the west coast IN
the region of Tampa Bay.
1t is we'll known that number oil
New York capitalists have been en-
deavoring for some years to get a char
ter from the state OF Florida 10 build a
ship canal, but the Philadelphia COM
pany, with great deal OF shrewdness,
have got ahead of them. In connection
with the Isthmus Canal, now in the
course Of construction under NJ. Ferdi'

New YORK, March 2l.-Gen. Grants
resignation as President OF the Worlds
Fair Commission had not been received
at the Office OF the Commissioners UP TO
the time OF closing yesterday afternoon,
but later in the day the General inform
ed Times reporter he already had sent
word to the Commission OF his intention
to resign and would send in his resigna-
ton to-day or tomorrow. That
his reasons for resigning was he
should 60 away from the city agood deal
(for ten weeks or more in Mexico and
afterward at Long Branch, J, and as he did
not wish TO embarrass the commission
ers he would leave them free TO place at
their head some one who could devote
more time TO their affairs. More than
this he did not care TO say.
Vice-President Stebbins said, whether
the General resigns or remains, the EN-.
terprise will be carried to successful
issue.
"Do the Commissioners generally"
asked the reporter, wish Gen. Grant to
remain?"
IL have not been able to find out what
the Commissioners think on the sub
ject," answered Stibbins.
The reporter also asked +. l.. Talcott
il the Commissioners wanted Gen. Grant
to remain.
"You know" answered Talcott, "my
mouth has been closed, | will say, how
ever, that | think it was noble and
generous act in Gen. Grant
to accept the presidency when he did,
because the enterprise was then in en-
bryo, not more than 500, 900 had been
subscribed. He thought and 30 did We
that the influence OF his great name
would arouse general enthusiasm in re-
gard to the exhibition, and the people
would flock in with their subscriptions
but they did not flock in, and
this greatly disappointed the General.
Why, he said to me the other day that
he vas utterly at loss TO account for the
apathy displayed by the people of New
York in the matter. Yes, | think it was
a very generous act of the General TO
accept the presidency when he did,
much more than it would have been
had he accepted it only now, because
now we have million dollars sub
scribed and the enterprise is sure to be
a success"
