RETURN OF CAPTAIN EADS.
The Proposed Canal Across the
EsIhmus of Tehuantepec-Liber
Concessions from the Mexican
GOvernment-The United states
Expected TO Endorse the Plan.

New ORLEANS, January 6.-Captaln Jas.
b. Eads returned Yesterday from Vera Cruz
as the guest of the Mexican war steamer
Independence. Regarding the success Of
Captain Eads' visit to Mexico, in connec-
tion with his contemplated canal across the
isthmus of Tehuantepec, the Democrat to-
day will publish the following:
Captain Eads proposed to go up the Usu-
panapa river some distance TO select his
road and thus save considerable distance
by using thls river and the Coatzacoatcos,
into which it flows, as well as the lagoons
on the other side. The distance across the
isthmus to the Pacific will be reduced from
l40 miles by rail to 100. The Mexican Gov
eTnment manifested a most liberal feeling.
He secured for the company which he
may form concessions of the most
generous character During the delibera-
tions there was not the slightest obstacle
placed In the way of coming to prompt
aud satisfactory conclusion. TIE govern
ment gives to Capt. Eads' company the
right to build ship railway across the 18TH
mus; grants it one million acres of land on
the shore Of the Pacific on which to build
the terminus of the railroad and establish a
harbor; empowers it to charge and collect
toll OF five dollars per ton on the freight
OF a ship and cargo passing over the road.
The right is also given for railroad and
telegraph line, on which only the
customary rates can be charged.
In return for this Captain Eads
agrees to carry on the railways all ships of
war, munitions, mails, ETC., free of charge.
The building of the road must be commenc-
ed within two years and be completed in
ten years from May 1st, 1881. One of the
remarkable features of the grant is that,
contrary to her custom, Mexico will
allow Captain Eads to secure the
aid Of foreign governments to guar
antee dividenda, and Captain Eads
Is satisfied that the United States Govern
ment VIII indorse the plan up to $50, ,000,-
COO. Ex-President D;az is hearty sup
porter OF the scheme, and has been one of
its warmest advocates"
Captain Eads left for Washington last
evening in company with Captain Vega and
other officers of The Independence, who
are his guests.

FOSTER AND GARFIELD.
Ir hoin.r rtntnd thnA nor,o,..,l, Z,

It Is being stated that Governor Foster. of
Ohio, will have no influence with the Garfield
administration. 1t is also stated that Garfield
will ignore Ohio in making up his Cabinet.
There may not be an Ohio man in the next
Cabinet, but it will not be because Garfield will
ignore all Ohio men. There is one man from
that great State who can get anything he wants.
and that man is named Foster. He withdrew
from tho Cabinet with Sherman for the Ohio
Senatorship more because Garfield wanted him
to than for any other reason. That would give
him strong hold on the next administration
but it Is not where his real strength with il
lies. 1t is matter OF dollars and cents be-
tween them. Foster L. very wealthy. When
Garfield was nominated at Chicago there was
a mortgage of $4,000 on his house in this city.
Foster lent him the money to pay it off. There
were also suits filed in the District
Court against him for about S3.cOJ.
In order TO shut of talk it was
necessary that ths prosecutors Of them should
be paid. Foster lent Garfield the money to
pay them. He can have anything he wants of
the next administration. 1t is true that he
may not elect to go into the Cabinet. He may
prefer ffrst-class foreign mission.
