The question of ventilation which is a
serious matter in such scheme, it is
proposed TO meet either by shafts Of iron
rising at suitable intervals to a sufficient
hight above the level OF the sea, or by
propelling the trains by atmospheric
pressure, and thus while introducing
fresh air avoid the formation Of foul air
by the fires of locomotives. Other pro-
jects consist in laying tubes of iron or
masonry on the bed Of the sea and ven
tilating these by shafts communicating
with the air. In one of these plans it is
proposed to use the shafts as lighthouses.
A tube-like corridor or roadway floating
at depth of forty feet below the level
of the sea, and kept in place by great
chains and anchors, has also been pro-
posed. Floating bridges, with gigantic
draws, and bridges of enormous span,
with arches of sufficient hight to permit
the passage Of ships in all weathers,
have also been suggested. Last, and
perhaps the most practicable of all, is
the scheme of employing enormous yes
sells or hat-boats which may take whole
train on board and deliver it safely Oh
the opposite shore.

near one of the ticket offices leisurely
smoking a cigar and taking in the beau

her arms around his neck in the most
affectionate manner. and exclaimed,

LIoNIzING AND ITs REsuLTs.-It is seldom
that visitors from Europe who have dis

judgment his mercurial head possessed, and, in

suppose it was not the case, there was no
reason for an allegro furioso movement with

Strauss has been spoiled, like others, by too
much fattery, and his head is inclined TO fol-
low the example of the heels of his listeners.

The Release OF DIR. Houard-Thc Never


Ending Cuban Troubles.


II will be seen by special despatch to this
paper from Madrid, published in another COL
umn, that DIR. Houard has been set free by an
order of the Spanish government. 1t appears,
however, that the Doctor demurred to receive
his freedom as matter of grace. He seemed
to think that would imply that he had been
guilty of the charge on which he was con-
demned, and might debar him from claiming
compensation 1t is said, indeed, that he was
actually forced out of his prison. He imme-
diately after called upon our correspondent at
Cadiz. We have urged on the government not
to stand upon any punctilio with the Spanish
government, but to obtain the release of DR..
Houard in any proper way in which it would
not sacrifice its dignity or any right, and we
are glad to learn that he is free. While we
hold that the government of this republic
should protect its citizens all over the world,
we cannot see the justice or propriety of
straining the right or privilege of citizenship
so far as to quarrel with foreign governments
over men who, while claiming to be citizens,
never reside in the United States or perform
any of the duties of American citizenship
Temporary absence from the country on busi-
ness on the part of either native or naturalized
citizens should not deprive them of the protec-
ton of the flag, but those who take up fixed
and permanent residence abroad and perform
none of the duties of American citizens should
hardly expect our government to interpose in
oil cases of difficulty with the authorities of
their domicle. American citizenship is too
precious to be triAed with in such manner.

well as the trouble of the United States about
them, are never ending. Every few days there

The Circulation OF Partisan Papers.


We give to-day list of some two hundred
of our political exchanges, culled at random
as they came from a single days mail 1t will
be seen that out of about million claimed
circulation the number is about equally divided
between Grant and Greeley. This is both
curious and extraordinary. 1t is curious be-
cause the Grant papers have had the advantage
of several weeks time since the regular repub-
stration, and it is extraordinary because the
Greeley papers have, to great extent only
indicated their Presidential preference through

Just or unjust, their purpose OF united oppOsi-
ton was evidently earnest and serious, and the
Convention was only faithful to the people it
represented in making the issue distinct and
in boldly and openly accepting both the plat
form and candidates of the liberal republicans
as their own.


We regard it as fortunate for the country
that the present election is thus to be fought
out upon the single question of the endorse
ment or condemnation of the existing admin
istration, because, whatever may be the result,
it is likely to lead to desirable reforms. The
American people are essentially revolutionary,
and large number of persons may always be
found in favor of a change for the sake of
change alone Our citizens could not live
under permanent centralized government
such as many affect to believe is contemplated
by Grant and his adherents, or under mon
archy, however limited in power and however
strongly guarded by constitutional guarantees
Their quadrennial elections are the safety valve
of their democracy, and with these secured to
them and always TO be looked forward to at
short intervals their revolutions are fought
with ballots instead OF with bullets. A French
man when he desires to overturn the existing
condition of affairs rushes to the barri-
cades; an American makes his way to the
polls. This restless American spirit has grown
weary of seeing the Southern States still
held in the iron grip of their sins of rebellion,
and of hearing of the suspension of the habeas
corpus, the imposition of proscriptive test
oaths, the enforcement of military despotism
and the establishment of negro balance of
power as check upon white men all
over the South. Eight years have passed
since the close of the war, and there is no evil
dence, except that concocted for political effect,

fishing a Secret Circular.


NEW YORK, Feb. IA St. Petersburg
letter says that at the late diplomatic din
ner at Copenhagen, at the house of the
German Ambassador, the American Min
lister, Cramer, undertook to read the secret
circular, which Secretary Fish had sent to
the Diplomatic agents in explanation of the
Catacazy embroglio, SO that they might be
able to speak understandfngly on the sub
ject, should their diplomatic relations have
occasion to refer to it. Minister Cramer,
producing the paper rose and said: Gentle
men, have just received a dispatch from
my Government about the difficulty with
Russia, which propose to read for the be-
neft Of the company here assembled.
Great astonishment and indignation fol-
lowed this announcement. The Russian
Ambassador who was present rose to leave
and only resumed his place at the table
when the German Minister interfering re-
fuse to permit the document to be read at
his table. The storm then subsided, but
the next day the representative of the
United States paid visit to all the Foreign
in the Dauish Capital and
made known to them the contents Of the
circular.

If the experiment shafts prove sue
cessful, books will be opened for
further subscriptions to the stock,
and work will be pushed vigorously.
The completion will be only ques-
ton of time. Five years have been
thought sufficient, but it seems
hardly possible that SO gigantic an
undertaking can be accomplished in
SO short a space. The cutting will
be comparatively easy, unless the
geologists are at fault; for the only
resistance is said to be a soft chalk
rock that can be easily bored. There
will necessarily be great danger
connected with the work, from the
liability of letting in the sea, and
the difficulty of securing ventilation
during the progress Of the excava-
tion. When completed, the tunnel
will be twenty-three miles in length,
and fresh air will probably have to
be forced through its entire length
by artificial means. If modern en-
gineering is able to provide for this
there can be no doubt of the success
of the undertaking.


Both countries are expected to
join in the expense of the enterprise
but the laboring oar will fall to
England, since the finances of
France have been SO severely Grip
pied in the late war with Prussia.

sidered, the most gigantic and diff
