THE RESULT In VERMONT.

The democracy of Vermont entitled to praise for the
6ness with which they have maintained their ground IN
the late election Although in decided minority they
have kept their ranks unbroken and poed two thousand
than they did in the last presidential contest
They have example which might be prohabiy foi
lowed by the democrats Of other States who constitute ma
jores but whose divisions rendering them poweress
The Montpelier Patriot speaks the result in Vermont as
follows:
democracy have done much better than could have
been anticipated They have elected more than their usual
number of members of the house. and Clark will have ior
governor much higher than the mongres anticipated
and one will count higher than have poed LOT
except that last September The band OF the fusion
will prove rope sand The democrats who have been ca
oed into the dcker will abandon it, and the whole
thing will tumble pieces before another September Ih
democratic party this rotes on TIE popular
poll and more members in The Legislators, o" IN ls4s or
1881

of any when the opposition 'ed united SINCE me

fifty members the house. In 1874 were beaten by near
" IS OO0 and fifty members of the house. In le4s

OUR STEAM NAVY.

The Journal of Commerce pays to Secretary Dobbn a
we-mered compliment in the following interesting art
Gle steam navy. No department of the government
has been managed with marked ability and success
than the naval and have every reason to anticipate that
Mr. Dobbns exertons to give that arm OF the public SER
vice elevation and power will prove emnenty successful
He devoes himself with untrng vigilance and energy TO
the duties of his station and is already receiving the
ward which is to be bestowed by just people upon
official fidelity and ability:
"Oun STEAM sAvy-It is a relief to be able discover
any signs the navy of the United States will
be exrcaed from the shameful position which has hereto
occupied Almost every successive attempt to establish
good fame has only served to detrnc from what it had al
ready earned Several good hus have been constructed
while the engines in most instances have proved unmtated
failures 1t said that this result not much the fault
of engineers machnists, naval constructors of od
oges who by their ntermeddng spoiled whatever they
endeavored improve Secretary Dobbin, in adopting
for the construction of the six gaes,
pursued very different from his predecessors having
invited plans experienced engineers throughout the
country and consequence enabled to avail himself of
their combined talent. We assured by well known
scientific gentleman just returned from Washington that
there for confidently believing that the pro-
posed steamers will be model specimens naval architecture
and not inferior to anything to be found in the navs
Europe. The contracts told, awarded Friday
and will very be made public These ships be of
5000 burden 255 feet in length 81 in breadth and will

be below the surface of the water which plan first in
roduced in steamers intended for purposes by Mr.
Ericsson in the steamship Princeton but which has since
been almost universally adopted in English and French
sells or naval steamers it claimed that
proved successful than the Princeton

required repairs whatsoever and her performances
racted much notice. during this that all the
of her engines taken and subsequently
reproduced in France the Pomone and now
pohap
in all probability and perhaps two of the
will be furnished with engines substantially the plan
Mr. Ericsson had with him at ashingon beautiful model
with important improvements He the vibrating
lever engine the principal feature being the application of
rotary motion to the propeller similar to the Prncetons
Vibrating ptons done away WITH ordinary ps
tons introduced 1t is exceedingly simple and very compact
The engines of the famous English Ajax on much
the principle, but larger number of cylinders are en-
ployed, all working the shaft necessarily occupying
much space involving complications and consequently
liable to need frequent repair It is said of Mr. Ercs
sons engine with all Of its simplicity that the amour, of
power exerted will exceed the power of the Ajax
