Presidential Candidates.

By advices from nearly four hun
dred correspondents in the thirty. eight
States of the Union, the New York
Times learns that the names of Al Re-
publicans and 40 Democrats are men
toned in connection with the Presi-
dency. Of these, Tilden leads among
Democrats and Blaine among Republ-
can; yet, strange to say, according
to the most reliable information, nei-
Their of these gentlemen, although the
favorites of their respective parties,
are candidates for President. Repub-
licans, who are in Blaine's confidence,
say that he has left the political arena
forever, and having engaged in more
congenial pursuits, he does not intend
to enter it again, and upon no consid-
GRAFTON will he become a candidate for
President. The New York Sun, which,
though disclaiming all connection with
party managers, and hooting at the
idea of being considered an organ, is
nevertheless looked upon as the mouth.
piece of Tilden, says that he is not,
aud will not be, in the field for Presi-
dent, and that all reports to the con-
trary are mere fabrications, untrue
aud without foundation.
From this it appears that the two
persons most frequently mentioned by
their respective parties for President
are not, and will not be, candidates for
that office.

The New Suez Canal.
Sacramento Union.

The French company has unques-
tionably got the upper hand of Eng
land in the matter of constructing a
new Suez canal. The original Canal
Company. in which England has not a
controlling interest, has the right 10
prevent parallel canal being cut by
any rival company, and Egypt Is
bound to protect the company IN that
right. DeLesscps is reported as say
ing that if the English Government
rejects his proposals for new canal,
he will appeal to the civilized wor'o
to sustain him in resisting England's
demands. Such appeals do not amount
to much, but Egypt and France Will
sustain him, end England has no
stomach just now for trouble in either
quarter. Still, the dispatches say,
the popular demand is for rejection
of DeLesseps' proposition But the
Cabinet know what is best for the ma
ton, and it is not to be doubted that
will consent to the arrangement with
the DeLesseps' management for the
cutting of new way. The Directors
report that they have power to require
satisfactory width and depth, reduc-
ton of dues on British shipping, and
guarantees for the protection of Eng
lish interests. The English People
will come to a proper realization OF
the facts presently and will not force
an issue with their Premier on this
question.

Aterrible accident occurred at North
Point, on the Patapsco, ten miles from
Baltimore. 1t was occasioned by the
giving way of pier, on which sew
eral hundred persons were congrega-
ted, and it is supposed that over ~
lives were lost. An excursion was
given under the management OF the
Mount Royal Beneficial Society OF
Corpus Christi, Of which Father Star
is pastor. The excursion went down
on the barge Cockade City, which was
towed by the tug Amanda Howell.
The barge was formerly an old canal
boat, which had been reftted with
double decks for excursion purposes,
and have been used as such for sever.
al years. During the day she had
taken about 500 persons, and on her
last trip took about 100. A large num-
Der of those who went down during
the day had remained, intending to re.
turn on the last trip. When the barge
approached all these made rush for
the end of the wharf, which was close
Iy packed at the gate, about 25 feet
from the end. As she came along side
and struck the wharf, it suddenly and
without warning gave away, and a
large portion fell into the water, which
was about ten feet deep. Many were
able to save themselves by fleeing
towards the shore as the outer end of
the pior crumbed and fell. Darkness
added to the confusion, and little could
be done to rescue the drowning, most
of whom were. women and children.
The noise and cries were so loud that
the watermen heard them two miles
away. Those who witnessed the scene
state that it was s;ckening. The moon
had gone down, and the only light at
this time was that shed by two feeble
coal-oil lamps. Some of the reseuers
took the barge lanterns and set them
on the wharf. Two of them exploded
and added fresh terror to the scene.
Those on the deck Of the barge threw
life-preservers, stools and benches into
the water. These struck great many
and knocked them insensible Others
let down planks and ropes. hides
cribable hopelessness and terror reign

Dorsey threatens to sue several

he has; but getting money out of a

HALEY TO OGDEN.
The Running Time 10 be About 90
Hours.


The present terminus of the Wood
River branch railway is at Picabo, a
station about Is miles south of HALEY.
TO that point six-horse stages run
from HALEY. Leaving HALEY about
3 o'clock in the morning the coaches
reach Picabo about Z o'clock. A
weary wait of two hours detains
travellers here until 8 o'clock, when
the train leaves for Shoshone. At
that junction another dclay.-of about
one and half hours, this time-oc-
ours, during which passengers are at
liberty to eat, drink and-visit the
growing metropolis. About half
past o'clock, the train continues on
to American Falls and Pocatello-
which latter place is reached by s
o'clock. At 8 o'clock the Utah
Northern train comes laundering
along, and, after taking the Wood
River passengers aboard, continues on
toward Ogden and Salt Lake, reach
ing the first-named place about 8
o'clock the following morning.
The time to Ogden from Haley is
therefore about 80 hours at present.
But when the trains run to and from
HALEY the running time will not ex
coed 20 hours.

A PROPOSED NEW ROAD

Boise has sufficiently awakened
from her lethargy to initiate a real en-
terprise-and that is nothing more
nor less than the construction of a
five-million dollar railroad. Several
meetings have already been held, and
an organization perfected. A CON-
paratively small amount of the stock
is subscribed for, it is true; but David
Falk, who is here now, assures the
TIMES that Berlin capitalists are
pledge to take three-fourths of the
stock Of the new company as soon as
its organization is completed.
The line of the road which this
new company proposes to construct
shall be from connection with the
Denver & Rio Grande through the
Snake river lava fields, and Camas
Prairie to the south fork of the Boise,
thence down the Boise river and on to
a connection with some Pacific Coast
line controlled by the Northern
Pacific or its President, Mr.. Willard.
BY energetic management the road
can be completed to Wood River and
Boise within year, and competing
line thus given us. On the South
Boise the road would tap the finest
body Of timber in the United States,
for all the lumber derived from which
Wood River would afford an active
market.
There is no doubt that the proposed
new line would pay from the start, as
within a year or two this section will
be so far developed that its traffic will
pay two railways to handle. 1t is
therefore to be hoped that it will be
built without delay. The name of
the proposed company is to be the
Idaho & Oregon Railway Company.
