The Nicaragua Canal.

New York, l3.-Naval Commander
CrowiRshreld, in the Herald. to.daU
says: The Nicaragua Canal would save
SIC, 500, 600 annually on the present ship
ments Of Pacific coast grain, eastward:
would cause lsrge emigration to the
Pacific and enable cur government TO
guarantee protection to our commerce
and coast, as the Panama company can
not DO, owing to French interests al
ready centering there. Also because OF
the greater cost of the Panama Canal,
the tolls would be pFoportionstely greater
than the Nicaragua, 10 say nothing of
the increased distances for American
shipping going TO the North Pacific.
New York, 15.-The EUenine Post
says; IL we are to control any canal
across the Isthmus, it must be an Ameri-
can constructed with American money.
Undoubtedly, however, the CLAYTON
Bulwer treaty, as it now exists, will
cover the Eiearsgusn Canal, as well "a
the Panama Canal, and limit our rights
over l., but negotiating its modification
or abrogstiou, "a regards a canal of our
own, will be very different matter, and
stand upon q very different footing, from
It's negotiation or modification, as regards
a canal made by Europeans, and owned
in Europe. That such negotiation will
be greatly aided By the prosecution of
the present Niesreaua scheme, there can,
we think, be no doubt.
SIN editorial: Until the Clayton Bull
wer treaty has been abrogAted or msts-
rally modified. the concession to the
United States OF the right to occupy and
manags the Nicaragua canal, is not
worth the psper on which 1t is written.

when he mentioned the subject to the

Young called st the hite House; Cam
eron explained the matter briefly and
then said, II would like to have this
mans nomination made cut right of, as
he wants to go back home Tonight"
The President asked, "Where are his
papers?' "SVhy, he has none, endorse
him, is not that enough" The Presi.

Mr.. Young IN. ess he can be endorsed by
republican members Of the delegation,
and some evidence is fled here showing

THE Southern Pacific enters
promptly upon the field of competition
for transcontinental freight and travel.
A California correspondent reports
that the prOgramm is to run steamers
from the New Orleans and Galveston
termini of the road to Europe to carry
the heavy freightage of California
wheat, and to bring back emigrants,
who will be carried from Liverpool to
San Francisco for fifty dollars. To do
this the Southern Company is having
steamships built. The cars which
bring the wheat from the Pacific to the
guilt will be so constructed that they
can be filed with berths on the return
trip. The completion of the short line
to San Diego, 90 the Pacific, will
greatly shorten the distance from sea
to sea, and the completion of the line
to Galveston, will make it still shorter
only 1880 miles in length, and that
too far below the snow line, the neigh
borhood of which SO much lnterferes
with the winter business Of the other
transcontinental railways.

A SENSATIONAL PREACHER.
. Modern Lorenzo Dow, Who Hal
Beheadsd the Devil,
And Leaves Nothing but the Il.

LOUISVILLE, January 5.-Rey. Geo.
y. Barnes, the mountain evangelist Of
Kentucky, and a modern Lorenzo
Dow, has been creating quite a sensa
tion in this city during the week by his
service at the Chestnut-s Baptist
church. He is firm believer in what
is termed faith cure, and at the con-
clusion Of his services he calls up the
afflicted and anoints them, prays for
their recovery, and assures them that
all will be well if they have faith.
MIR. Barnes claims that God never
damns, but it is the devil who does,
and says he also makes sickness and
disease. God heals. Every day we
see in the newspapers the lie that it
pleased God to remove our brother.
God didn't remove him. 1t pleased
the devil 10 remove him. The Lord
gave and the Lord hath taken away
was lie started by old Job when be
was in deep afiiction. There is
not bit of truth in it. The Lord
giveth, but the devil taketh away.
God has constituted, he continued,
that though the devil may lay grief
upon US, it soon wears outline heals.
The weeping widow will console her
self in year and a half by marrying
another man. Watch and pray; this
divine injunction used to trouble me
a great deal, l couldn't understand it;
| would pray to the Lord and watch
the devil rather than pray to the Lord
and with the world and flesh, and
then the devil would slip up behind
and eatch me; but, thank God, am
over that difficulty now. | pray to
the Lord and watch him, and he pro
tects me. He will not let me perish
SO long as | look to him. Mr.. Barnes
caused the people to look around al
each other in amazement when he be.
headed the devil. Take away the first
letter, he said, and you have evil; re-
move the second and you have vii; the
third, and you have it; the fourth
and you have a word that sounds like
itself. So you see, my friends
the devil is all the way through
and don't intend to have anything
more to do with him."
At the conclusion of each hour
service he invites backsliders and sin
ners to come forward and have theii
sin-sick souls cured, after which h
extends an invitation to the afflicted il
body to come aud be healed. If nom
come forward, he does not insist, bu
say they will do SO before he is don,
here. EIe does not seem in the leas
discouraged at the apparent slow pro
gress for good, but feels that he ha
done his best, and leaves the resul
with God.

LONDON, January 5.-Earl Derby
last night, at a banquet of the
Liverpool Reform Club, announced
himself as a thorough Liberal. Said
he hoped there would be no further
attempt to prevent Mr.. Bradlaugh
taking the Parliamentary oath and dis.
ouSsing the question of home rule in
Ireland. The Earl said, America is
not dispotio or reaclionary country,
but we know how she dealt with Sc
cession, and once see how soon and
how thoroughly the traces of san
culinary conflict disappeared, l do not
see why we should show less determi-
nation or have less good fortune"
The Times says the people of Eng.
land would view with serious appre-
hension any further interference in
the internal affairs of Egypt. The
idea OF joint Anglo French military
intervention would excite gravest mis-
givings, and would be only entertained
in any case with the most reluctance.
The premature landing Of foreign
troops would, in the present condition
OF Egypt, be the beginning of a dis
turbance.

piled for in the Court of Queens s

ent Of the Times says; IF saints shall
be established by Queens Bench that
no one who is not a burgess can, under
the existing clause, use the corpora
tion act except for the freedom Of the
city, it would vitiate all votes of such
freedom which have been passed. If
anybody choose to press it thus, the
names Of Gladstone and General
Grant would bo erased from the roll.
But 1t is questionable whether they
would regret being deprived Of the
distinction, which has already lost
much of its value by the allies of
disafection and disloyalty added to it
by recent proceedings Of the corpo-
alton act.

AT this late day General Grant has
been induced to read all the available
documents and testimony bearing on
the Fiiz John Porter case, and comes
to the conclusion that that gentleman
has been greatly wrongcd, and ought
to be relieved of the censure under
which he has rested for nineteen years.
The documents included the orders of
Confederate Generals, which prove
that the Confederate army was just
where General Fitz Porter said it was.
General Grant, after spending several
weeks in the investigation, said in an
interview with reporter of the New
York Times:
For nineteen years have believed
that the finding of the court-martial
was Just one and warranted bS the
facts, but nov ! see that | am in error
and tho fact that for twelve years,
when | was general of the army and
President Of the United States, | Lad
it in my power to do General Porter
justice, and did not, makes me feel
under obligations to do all that l pos.
sibly can to remove the odium and
disgrace from him now"
This, while nothing more than tardy
justice, is at least creditable to Gene,
raj Grant, and shows that he is capa.
BILE of acknowledging mistake when
convinced of it. He will make q
statement in regard to the case at ar
early day over his own signature
Nineteen years is a long time to wait
for justice, and it seems unfortunate
that General Grant could not have
given this matter his attention twelve
or fifteen years sooner. When he ut.
tered the famous words, Let no gull.
tY man escape he should have re.
membered that no innocent man
should be punished, Pope made a
scapegoat of Porter to divert atten
tion from his own stupidity, Porter
being Democrat, it was an easy mat.

The methods resorted to by few men

good citizensin expressing the strong
est condemnation. But wrong on one
side does not make a right on the
other. The merits Of the main ques
tionIare.not affected by the antics of a
few desperate spectators. That men
who set themselves up as the unselfsh,
conscientious advocates Of the bill

The biggest rats in the barn

that they will not be. The smaller
operators on both sides have been
dragged out to public view and a fine
spectacle they present. Every indi-
yidual must stand upon his record;
parties and factions cannot and will
not be held responsible for them. We
excuse no one involved in this
dirty work and palliate nothing.
Let the guilty be exposed, whoever
they may be, aud perhaps the atmos-
phere will be clearer and purer after
ward, when the smoke has blown
away. The people, however, should
not forget the fact, the main fact,
that the attempted debauchery of a
Legislature by a lobby of
longs or shorts. or both, does
not make wrong right or justify a
measure passed under such circum
stances. 1t was conceived in sin,
brought forth in iniquity and stands
out in glaring moral deformity. We
do not admit that good can
come from such a monstrous evil
made possible only by blunted
moral sensibilities and broken pledges
II may be technically constitutional;
