zen. Grant has written an elaborate
paper on the Nicaragua Canal scheme
which was published in Tuesdays Chi,
cage 1ribunc. 1t discusses not only
this scheme but the De Lesseps enter.
prise also, showing that the latter ought
not to receive the encouragement OF
this country One of the principal argu-
ments on behalf Of the Nicarauguan
route is hat it is much shorter in meas.
uring the distance from east Asian to
west European ports, and another is
that it would be practically under Amer
lean control, while the other is a foreign
enterprise. Commenting on the article
the Tribune says: This paper will be
sure to produce profound impression
on both sides of the Atlantic: Ii it does
not float the Nicaragua enterprise,
which Gen. Grant commends to the
American people As an American canal
on American soil, it viii go far towards
sinking the French scheme, which is
already fast assuming the appearance
OF a gigantic stoek-jobbing operation. ="
General Grant also emphasizes his
views by reference to the Monroe doc
trine, which he insists with character
istic yigor shall be preserved intact. He
cites attention to the construction of the
Suez Canal, saying that it could not be
supposed for moment '.that an Amer
lcan company, incorporated by the
American Government, organized on
American soil, would have been allowed
to construct the Suez Canal, even if it
had established branch of its enter
prise in France, and placed it under the
supervision of distinguished and
representative French official .

An Honorable SpeccI.

Senator Blaine, on Wednesday last,
in commenting upon the bill to place
Gen, Grant ON the retired list said:
''The people Of the United States took
Gen. Grant from good life position and
made him President. There is in many
cases good deal of nonsense talked
the office seeking the man, but, in
Gen. Grants case, at least for his first
term, the office did seek the man. The
people asked him to give up his life po-
sition and serve them in and office of
short tenure, and | think now, on the
ground of fair play and square dealing,
the people owe it TO Gen. Grant to leave
him in as good position as they found
him when they demanded that he should
serve them of President. The Demo-
Gratis ought to vote for it as well as the
Republicans, and hope in the end they
viii do so. They are, of course, feeling
sore and cross just now over their de-
feat, for which they consider Gen. Grant
in part responsible, but that feeling will
wear off in time, and the Justice and
propriety of Gen. Grants name on the
United States army-roll, it is hoped.
will be so apparent that every one win
be disposed to vote for it, II would re-
quire explanation in history it Congress
should refese to restore to the army-list
the name of the General of all the ar
mics that conquered the Rebellion.
But you were reported, Senator, a
short time since, as being opposed TO
President Hayes's recommendation to
confer the rank of Captain-General ON
Grant.
g Yes, and ! am opposed 70 it now.
Captain-General is an infeicitous title,
which the President probably recon-
mended without giving it sufficient con-
sideration. Captain-General, as used
on the American continent, is Spanish
title, intimately associated, in the public
mind, with the oppression of Cuba and
with the cruelties and atrocities of the
slave trade. The rank of General was
created for Grant, and is one to which
he should be restored with full paw and
emoluments. Whether Gen. Grant be
worth million OF only thousand has
nothing to do with it. If the United
States owe anything to Gen. Grant they
have no right TO inquire into his circum-
stances as preliminary to payment
think it in very bad taste to be taking an
inventory of Gen. Grants property, or
to be discussing in any way his financial
condition. That belongs to him as a
private gentleman, and is not q matter
for public discussion.
