Tho Floride Ship Canal. Tho problem, as to the construction of a shin canal across the Florida peninsula, which has engaged the attention of engi neers and economists for fifty years though inure actively studied of late thau ever before, has not jet been definitely solved, however favorable may be the prospects claimed for the construction of a bargo canal across the State. The lat ter project is one which has recently de rided great importance for thc assumed practical results of barge freighting down the Mississippi, the natural suggestion being thc extension of that system through Florida to the Atlantic coast. A ship canal to bo u business success munt bc a tidewater canal, und must not cost too much money. In a review of the different surveys which have been made for a ship canal a writer in the Jacksonville Union shows that the general impression that thc Florida penin.-ula is a flat plain only a few feet above the level of the ocean is erroneous. The survey for a canal from the St. John's Hiver via the Santa Fe across to the Gulf of .Mexico gives eleva tions Of from 125 to 237 feet; from the St. John's via the VVekiwa lo Tampa bay 114 feet summit level ; from thc mouth of St. Mary's Uiver, through Okefenokee swamp down thc vullcv of the Suwanee Uiver to St. Mark'.-, 126 feet. The lowest depression for a canal route from tho mouth of the St. John's is via thc Ock iawaha and Withiacoochie Hivers, pas sing through lakes Eustis, Han is and Pana-sotrkce, the greatest elevation to be overcome being 87 feet. This route, however, is circuitous, and its length about 300 miles. The latest project for a ship-canal is from the lower end of Char lotte harbor, commencing nt I'unta Rassa, up thc Caloosahatchie Uiver through Lake Okechobee to tho mouth of St Lucie Uiver, a distance of about 100 miles. Even with this route the distance fr??;, thc Gulf ports to the North Atlantic, it is claimed, would not be shortened more than 2<"> miles. The writer to whom reference has been made conclude?, after fully considering tho data supplied by these .surveys, that a tidewater ship canal across the peninsula will be impractica ble na a business paying investment, and that its cost cannot be lesa than $200,000 000. On the other hand, he regards the projected barge canal as the true solution of the problem. Hy utilizing the diff?r ent inland passages adjacent to the Gulf he states, and connecting thom by ase ries ot canals and by a canal across tho Florida peninsula, barges can bo taken direct from the Mississippi to the Atlan tic, tho route being, as lie holds, practi cally but an elongation of the Mississip pi. Tho linc would pass via Lake Borgne or Ijftke Pontchartrain, through Missis sippi Sound, Mobile Bay, Pensacola Bay, Choctawhatchee and St. Andrew's Bays, tbr Appalachicola Uiver; thence to St. Mark's to thc valley of tho Suwanee and St. Mary's Hivers, and finally entering the St. John's. Tho total number of miles of canals required on this route would be less than 200, and the distance from Now Orleans to tho mouth of the St. John's being less than 700 miles, the distance saved between New Orleans and Atlantic ports or Eurona would be 000 miles. This route would also save tho expensive port charges at New Orleans and thc cost of towing in and out the Mississippi. Tho distance from the mouth of the Mississippi to New OrlennB is 125 miler, thc cost of towing in and out $1.26 n ton, making tho cost on a 2,000-ton VC?BCI $2,500, or more than six times thc cost from St. Louis to New Orleans, 1,250 miles, by tho barge system. Tho cost by barges from St. Louis to Now Orleans is 17? cent per ton, by steamboat 40$ cents. The cost of deliv ering freight by tho barge system, the barges being propelled by tugboats the samo as on the Mississippi from New Orleans to tho mouth of the St. John's, will bo less than the present cost per ton from New Orleans to tho mouth of tho Mississippi, and allow reasonable tolls to pay the interest on tho cost of construc tion and allow for repairs. With all the conditions of snfety ns to cargoes from injurious climatic effects, as weil'as irom the ordinary dangers of coasting with ?barges granted, this project would no doubt bo more practicable in business way than any ship canal that could be constructed. It would at the same time pluck some of thu budding laurels from the Crescent City and transfer much of the impetus which bas revived that busy metr?polis to other Gulf and South At lantic ports, to say uothing of the develop ment, particularly in tho Florida lumber business, on the route. Tho Florida canal problem is, to say tho least, an in-; teresting one. WHAT COXO&KHS MAY no.-It La? been suggested that Congress should ap nropriate to the family of tho deceased President a sum equal to tho salary which ,ho would hevo received if he had served out his full term. There is no precedent for so large a gratuity as this would bp, although iu the case of the three former Presidents who died in ?frico, Congress gave to tho family of each a full yearns salary. Congress no doubt will make an appropriation to pay all tho expenses incident to General Garfield's illness, death and burial. Tho largo sum already raised by private munificence, and which will doubtless be considerably aug mented within the next few days, will put his family out of tho reach of want. General Garfield with all his abili ty and his great opportunities was not a man who knew how to sr.ve money. Iiis tasi.es were simple nnd inexpensive and bia, family Jived plainly, but even after ho. became Presiden^lie seems to have been pressed for money. - He had his life insured for $10,000about a month before the fatal shooting, but according to tbbntntcmont -bf tho insurauce agent, he was,unable to pay tho premium, ($500,) and gafe "iwq " notes for tho amount, the one payable in three months and tho other five months. Tho first note is now over doe. Tho company has notified Mrs. Garfield that tho policy will be paid in fall.-Ballimore Sun. RAPID PROMOTION.-A few meu who are now prominent irr. railroad circles reached the positions vety rapidly. Col. A. C.' Haskell stepped from the Supreme Court Bench into tho Presidency of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Rail road ; Mr. R. L. McCaughri J operated the Laurens Railroad a fcW months as receiver, and waa then elected Pres ident of tho Columbia & Gr?envtllo Rail road. Both these men had been promi nent in other fields ; the former as law yer abd judge ; tho latter as a banker. Tho most remarkable rise was that of Mr. V: E.
