He says that they fully recognize the in
estimable benefits conferred upon commerce
by the railroad that it is dong more for
San Francisco and the State than all other
agencies combined; and tina. the only
grievance the wholesale merchants have
against it is that so clearly stated by Mr.
Stubs, namely, the fact that it will not
discriminate in favor of large shippers and
against small ones. 1t thus appears that
the one genuine cause OF complaint in con-
nection with the contract system is a cause
Of complaint which the railroad company
ought to be applauded for affording, by the
very men who are bowling against 1t the
most loudly. If the Examines publishes
few more such letters as those OF Messrs.
Stubs and Pracht it will need new
editor, for the old one is nearly used up
already, in his laughably futile efforts to
sustain the ubiquitous view Of the con.
tract system

ARAB ALPHABETICALLY

According to the latest dispatches
Arab Pasha continues impracticable.
though it is becoming more evident every
day that he is not in condition to offer
any serious resistance to the British ad
vance. Thus far he has respected the neu.
trality of the Suez Canal, which De
Lesseps is trying to defend by preventing
the landing of European troops. Tee
Porte has at length made up its mind to
send contingent to Alexandria, but nc
doubt they will not be permitted to land
until the full control of the force hiss beer
secured to the English commander. There
has been much delay in the British prepa
rations, and many blunders, but Arab
has failed to extract any advantage from
the time placed at his disposal.

ALEXANDRIA, July 30sh-5:30 P. M.-The

rebels are making every effort to fortify the
vicinity of Port Said. French men-of.w war
in Egyptian waters have been ordered to
station themselves at Port Said and cease
traversing the Suez canal.
The Helicon, with Admiral Seymour on
board, returned from Aboukir, whittier she

is settled in regard to bombarding them.
News from Suez is to the effect that there
is no authority there to support the order OF
the Khedive. The British corvette Euryalua,
Rear Admiral Hewett commanding, is of
port at Suez.

A MERCHANT SPEAKS.

Mr.. Max Pracht, San Francisco mer
chant, writes to the Examiner letter fully
indorsing the statements Of Mr.. Stubs
regarding the contract system, and defend
ing the Central Pacific Railroad Company
against the reckless and dishonest charges
of that paper. Mr.. Pracht says that the
merchants do not regard the company as
an oppressor that they are not overawed
by it; that it does not compel them tc
make contracts which are in any way in.
furious to themselves that they do not
look upon it as their enemy that they
take no stock in the reckless abuse which
such papers as the Examiner are now pub,
fishing; and that many of them would
come forward in defense of the company
were they not absorbed in their business.

FRANCE DRAWN OUT.

France has virtually drawn out CT the
Egyptian difficulty, the Assembly having
refused to grant the Ministry the war
credit asked for. This refusal was by so
large majority as to compel the resigna-
ton of the Ministers, for the vote was an
impeachment of their course. II this vote
at all faithfully represents public opinion
in France, it is evident that no foreign war
can be made acceptable to the nation at
the present time. The withdrawal OF
France, however, will give Great Britain
control of the Egyptian situation CON-
pletely, and when the war is over she will,
of course, have a commanding voice in the
adjustment of Egyptian affairs.
