FEELING ON THE CANAL PROJECT. The United States Surveying Expedition, in eharge of Commander E. P. Lull, sent out tu Janu- ary last to ftetermine the feasibility of an inter- oceanic canal trom Aspinwall to Panama, arrived In this city yesterday on the steamship Acapulco, Assaredly, no work of the kind instituted under the auspices of the government has ever been | executed with greater rapidity and thoroughness, Favored trom the start by all the elements that | contribute to the success of the undertaking, the result has proved exceedingly gratitying from the | factthat the labors of the party have been re- ‘Warded by the discovery of a cheap, speedy and practicable route across the isthmus. It has been Previously intimated that the object of the expe- dition was not to make the survey with the view to commence actual operations, so far as the con- struction of the proposed canal in concernea, but simply to add to the geographical knowledge Biready obtained in reference to inter-oceanic communication and to examine the basis of the claims so strongly urged in favor of the Aspinwall- Panama route, REASONS FOR THE SURVEY, Itmay be asked why, if wu teasible lime wad al Teady been discovered elsewhere, farther surveys were necessary. When it 1s understood, however, that by leaving no ground unexplored ana nar- | Towing the limtta of investigatiun the question | that has puzzled the greatest minds Jor decades | ‘Will be nearer solution, the advisavility of this sur- ‘Vey Will be apparent. True, the ratiroad has de Veloped to some extent the cuaracter of the coun- try through which it runs and has naturally cre- ted the impression that a ieasivle route existed contiguous to the line o: travel. Yetit is only by @ctual examination that any conclusion relative to its merits can be arrived at. In this instance, githough the line of survey just completed ruas Rear the raliway track, as will be seen by reference to the map, there are other parts of it which open up the virgin sorest on either side and the geo- graphical character of which was never known wntil determined by this expedition. Thus it will be seen that the task entrusted to Commander Luil’s party was much more important than Might at first be supposed, and the result of the | experiment will setat rest ail doubts as to the Practicability, cost and advantages of a line ‘Which has certainly received a careful and consci- entious survey. THE NICARAGUA ROUTE. The survey of the Nicaragua route and its Minute inspection last year by competent engt- neers, under the auspices of the Interoceanic Canal Commissioners, have dissipated all doubts as to its feasibility. The fact nas been established that snip canal can be constructed from Greytown, on the Arlantic, to Brito, on the Pacific, and the question that will ariso is whether the route re- cently surveyed can be made more practicabie | and at less cost, and whether its situation would present yreater advantages to the commercial World at large. ‘he Aspinwali-Panama line has Sertainly the merit of being much shorter, tor while tnat by way of Nicaragua 1s 181 miles in vengih, toclading 62 miles of actual canal, the stoer would be oniy 41 miles trom ocean to ocean. i would perhaps be premature at this stage to State with certainty which would be the better Une, for the reason that though we are in posses- sion of all the estimates of the Nicaragua sur- vey, for they bh been already made out witu great care and, accuracy, the cost of the Aspiowall-Panama route mn only, @t the present time, be roughly guessed St, and cannot, therefore, be set fortn definitely ‘Until all the details of the work of compatation Bnd allowance eball have been completed—mat- ters which will require much studious calculation, itis known, however, and admitted that the esu- Mates !rom the recent survey wil be much lower than those for the Nicaragua canal; next that the Panama line has the advantage in point of dis- tance, and that so far us has been cetermined no serious engineering obstacles are encountered on | the line, With these tacts in view, therefore, there can be no liesitation in saying that the line just surveyed bas everytuing to recommend | 1%, and that should the proposed cost of its con- | struction be very much ower than that of any Other line yet surveyed the choice would be in its lavor. This, however, is a matter of conjecture And must remain 60 ior atleast a month or two, When the entire oficial reports of tnose at tached to the expedition will be made known. Whatever may be the result, however, it is cer- | tain coat of ali tne surveys neretofore made under | the auspices of the United States government the two moat woitny consideration at this day sre those referred to, aud shouid ever a canal be made | the selection will hardly tall oatside of these, THE ATRATO-NAPIPI ROUTE, Of this once promunent line, with which the ‘Dame of Commander Seifridge 1s inseparable, Dat | lsttie can be surmised.

Several cMcers, however, including Lieutenants Collins, Sullivan, Eaton, Payne, kn- sign Barrol, with Dr. Norfleei, are at present en- Gageo in completing some work along the pro- posed route, near the Napipi River, but whetoer their persevering and indefatigable labors wiil Meet with that tavorabie result they so weil d serve is & probiem dificult of solution, Equal eredi!, nevertheless, nue! attach to every expedi- tion of this kind sent out by the government, for She labor in most caves is the same.

Indeed it ‘was considered THE MOST ESSENTIAL PRATURE of the entire survey, dud it wns uot therefore without satisfaction that an advantageous site wus at lengta decided upon, Avout bali a mile above the site for this dam u very tavorable loca- tion for the mouth of the feeder was discovered, every protection being afforded by uigh rocky banks from lesbets im the rainyseason. A line had now to be run along wich toe aqueduct would ve constructed, and to this task Liea- tenant Leutze and party applied themselves wita alacrity, The connection with the receiving and discriouting Yasin having been made, the san party commenced the location of the main lin Jrom the borchern eid of the viaauct to Barba- coas, ‘This part of the iine runs turough a very broken country.

He expressed himself bigniy pieased witn toe ra- pidity of the operations, and onreceipt of the humerous reports jrom the parties as weil as from personal observation constdered that the result of the survey jar exceeded his auticipa- tions. It is well to add that throughout their trying duties the oficers and men were well sup- plied with suitable provisions, vetter. indeed, than any similar expeaituion was ever jurnisned With, and through the instrumentality of Pay- master Clark—who, by the way, Was most as- siduous in Ws endeavors to promote the comfort of those utiached to the expedition—every pos- sible effort Was made to meet the requirements of the occaaion. Meanwaile the field notes were Eig coming in, and were handed over to Mr. J. 4. Philp, @ topographical draugutsman from the Hydrovraphic Odice, Washington. who made the iaps 01 the survey in addition to several clever sketches of the various camps. THE FEELING ON THE CANAL PROJECT, The inhabitants of the flourtsning and salu- brious cities of Aspinwall and Panama, it is idle to deny, are highiy elated over the result of the exvedition, It was always a sore point with these tropical speculators that while the United States government had ordered surveys jor an mteroceunic canal to be made elsewhere, tls suppused route had Leen completely ignored. Forgetting, perhaps, that the otaer examimuations had been instituted mainly in search of geograpnl- cal knowledge, they Wrapped themselves in the cloak of envy, or rather the mosquito bar of in- difference, lolled in their bammocks and slept. ‘Phe advent of this expeuition, yowever, aroused them from their siumbers, and, sitting up in pa- nent expectation, they awaited the issae of the survey With leeings of anxiety, As already tnti- mated, the result has been balled with satistac- non, Indeed the more unletiered imagine that the first sod will snortly ve turned, and we have no doubt enterprising parties are making prospective purchases of lots ulong the supposed roate. If for no other purpose than to wake up the sleepy speculators, the expedition must be re- carded as @ great boon, But it tas served a igher purpose, even should tbe canal never ba built across the Isthmus; it has added to the kKnowleage already accumulated in reference to the Important subject of iuteroceanic communi- cation and satisied the demands of tho-e who for Years have persisted i claiming for the Istumus Superiority over every otuer supposed route. A TRIP 'UP THE CHEFO, We should not lorget to mention that while the two surveyimg parties were prosecuting their la- bors—the pian oO: operations having been laid out lor exch—un ipteresting trip was made down the Pacific coust, tor the purpose of examining the Chepo River, in order to ascertain the practica- bunty of urhzing It lor siack Water navigauoa, and irom a convenient point on the river to cut across te the bay of Sua Bias, by means of a tun- hel of moderate lengtu, Toward the end of last month Commander Luli and Mr. Meoocal, accom. | pamed by Paymaster Clark and Dr. Barusiord, char- | tered 8 smaii schooner ut Panama, aod at Dignt- fail proceeaed up the coast Jor about. tuirty miles, aod entered the Buyano, into woich the Cnepo empties, ‘The uccommodatioas were horrible, and had 16 not been tor the volubility of the skipper, a yellow geatleman rejoicing in the name of “vor. tuguese Joe,” toe services of the medical officer would Have been maemand, Ag it was, the ex- periment snowed the iwpracticability uo: the scoeme.

THE SPELLING MATCH ON THE STOCK EZ» CHANGE—MILLIONATRES AND BIG BONANZA MEN AS. SCHOOLZOYS. The “boys” on the Stock Exchange will have their little amusement at any cost, It matters not whether they are “loug’’ or “short,” when the time for fun comes around they always “make good their margins,” They wili nait in the mid- die of “I'll give 47 for 500, seller three,” at any time to play @ practical joke, and the author of @ new sell 13 Invariably the hero of the hour, It will be readily seen, then, that the announce: ment of @ spelling match to take piace at the close of business in the rooms of the Governing Committee of the Stock Ex. change wi @ sufiictent inducement to call fun-loving element out in full force, The prize to be contended for was understood to be ten shares of Boston, Hartford and Erie stock; but, as one of the spellers sald ta the Henan reporter, “"1'3 NOT MONEY WE WANT; our parents are Germans, and we drink wine for dinner, We've got an intellectual spell on us and 1U8 got to be worked off.” Shortly after three o’ciock Mr. W. B. Bend mounted the rostrum, and in a voice cupposed to be trembling with emotion apnounced that the lists were open for the tour ney. Considerable time was consumed in the lection of “sides,” whien were finally arranged, however, twelve persons on each, under the lead ership of Messrs, A. G. Wood and S, Wadsworth, ‘The match wasa@ novellyin this respect, tuat ime stead ot giving a single word a complete sentence was given out as @ test of the ability of the spellers, This course, as might be naturally } expected, led to much confusion. For inataace THE FIRST SESTENCE given out was, “Will you lend me ten dol. jars?” At this the twelve good men and true said never a word and the silence was only broken by Mr. Mitchell whispering in a boarse voice that they were all speilbound. The first attempt proving an utter failure, the Chairman then gave out, “What will you take?” A scene of uproar then ensued which it is impossible to de- scribe. Not the simehtest attention was paid to the rules governing the match, each individuat culling out tn loud and angry tones his particular Jancy, and for several minutes the air resounced with mingled shouts of “straight,” “a little sugar in mine,” “a little more gum, if you please,”? and many other expressions Incomprenensible to the uninitiated. After order had been in a measure restored the match was proceeded with and at one time did fair to reach a very satisiactory conclusion, THE FIRST MAN SPELLED DOWN was on Wadswortn’s side, who rendered the word “Drew” P-u-t-s Drew. One of Wood’ followers then took @ back seat as he sald the word “‘commission’’ was spelied “one-eighth percent.” The word “Pacific’’ was the signal for @ grand “scalping” macch, anything but peacetuk Jooking to tne spectator, but the difficulty was | finally settled between tbe contending factions on the “curbstone,” where a “Union” was effected. ‘rhe word “water” was then announced, at which an expression of ineffable disgust overe shadowed the countenances of all present, ana, without another word being uttered on either side, the spellers of the Stock Exchange wenced their way in @ melancholy procession irom tne rooms of the Governing Committee, to meet agaip on some more auspicious occasion. MUNICIPAL REFORM. LECTURE LAST NIGHT BY JACKSON 8. SCHULT2 BEFORE THE MUNICIPAL REFORM ASSOCIA- TION, IN No. 43 WEST WASHINGTON SQUARE, Av the rooms of the Municipal Reform Associa- tion, No. 43 West Wasuington square, soath, Mr. Jackson S. Schultz delivered a@ lecture last night, on tne interesting subject of the “Econ. omies of Lavor and Service.” General Lioyd Aspinwall was in the chair, and iu a few apposite remarks introduced the lecturer, who, tm sub- stance, said that when New Yorkers went asleep in 1864 the city owed but $36,000,000, and when they awoke in 1870 the maebdredness | was $115,000,000, and now our city government costs about $34,000,000 annually. The annual in terest on the city’s cebt cannot be less than $9,900,000 to $10,000,000 a year. The laocor expenditure alone sums up to $24,000,000 every twelve months. The city is oppressed by large salaries of numerous judges, wie receive from $10,000 to $15,000 a year; yet tue court calendars are crowded with cases, and any one concerned in utgation understands how important itis to have this motion tried im that court and the other appiication made pefore | certaim judges. It was shown that all our pubic crowded with high salaried officials who render no equivaient for the immense amount of money expended on them. It is pre posterous to pay bookkeepers connected with the municipality $5,000 10 $7,000 a year. Itis @ note rious fact that in commercial establishments the best bookkeepers can be had for $2,000 a year{ but about the Oity Hall men are paid not Jor thels brains so mach as for poiltical influence. The Bight Hour law is one of the most remarkable enactments ever passed by the Legislature oi any in the senate Mr. George H. Andrews characterized the Eight Hour law as one MADE FOR THR DEMAGOGUES. Aman could now be indicted for working his men more than eight hours. If people are to work only eight hours, which takes off twenty-five offices a1 | per cent irom their labor, taen laborers ougnt to | receive wages ior eignt hours work only. Tne lecturer bad driven on the Boulevard and seen over twenty-five per cent of the laborers at s stand. still. Tney are “incompetent, barbarous suck- ers,’ who came out from every gin-mill in tne city; from places where they got too much gin for their meney.
