Iron War Ships.

Donald Mckay, in a recent letter from Paris on
the subject of the French navy, throws out the fol-
lowing hints IN reference to the contemplated con-
siruc ton of iron vessels-of-war by the United
States
| regret very much to see, from the late accounts
received from the United States. that our Govern
ment intends To construct a number of IRON caSed
ships (cruisers) of 1900 tons each. How such
plan could be adopted with the English experience
of such large iron ships before our eyes, Is more
than can understand. The comparatively small
draft of water which these ships only can have, on
accoun OF the depth of our harbOrs, prevents pos
sibility of giving any great speed To such immense
structures, and their necessarily Immense length
will render them less mana geabIe yet than their
English sister ships. Thus they will be at the
mercy of much smaller opponent, whose superior
steering powers allows choice IN position
The construction of such vessels would be as
great an exaggeration as was the construction of
whole feet of Monitors, which, know, will be
acknowledged only fit for harbor defense, and
which leave our navy of going ships just as 1t
was before We commenced the Construction OF IRON
cased ships.
In comparison with the power of the navies OF
France England, must confess ours IS not wor-
thy the name of a navy. In conclusion may be
allowed TO say in order that we may be respected
by all the European naval powers, we ought to
Commence without delay the construction of at
each of not more than 25 feet mean draft of
These will form the nucleus of our real fighting
ships at sea.
We ought further to have an equal number of
corvettes of high speed and Of about IA to l6 guns
each, and of about 90 of 80 so gun frigates and
an equal number of screw steam slOops-Oi-war Of
about 20 guns each, both latter classes of the high
est speed obtainable, as to allow them to evade
their ron-cased opponents. Tie latter vessels will
always prove of excellent use in case of foreign
war, in harrassng the enemy's commerce.
All these ships ought TO be built of timber, and
in the most substantial manner Not until this in
crease has been accomplished shall we command
respect as q nation.
Iron ships ought not to be adopted in our sea-
going feet for the following reasons:
l. The foul.ng of their bottoms against which
no remedy has been found yeti, and consequent
loss of speed
9. The weakness of their bottoms and consequent
liability of soon breaking up whenever they touch.
3. The impossibiity to give them good ventil-
aton all the artificial means having failed to pro-
duce good ventilation on account of the many
water-trht bukheads necessarily used in their con-
struction.
4. Their great unhealtbiness, proved already
by the few cruises made by the Warrior and De-
fence. Yours truly,

ALI seizures will be made by the marshal OF
the proper district under written authority, to
be given him by the District Attorney, specl-
flying with reasonable certainty the property TO
be seized, and the owner whose right is sought
to be conhscated.
When the marshal has seized any property
under such authority, he will, without any IN
necessary delay, make return thereof, ia VIII
ting, to the District Attorney.
The issuing Of the order Of seizure is trust
ed to the discretion of the District Attorney;
and while he ought to be vigilant to execute
the law, he ought to be careful to avoid hasty
and improyident seizures In every instance
be ought to be satisfied that there is probable
cause for the seizure, and that he has reasCna-
bic ground to believe that he can prove III court
the facts necessary to warrant the condemna-
ton.
AS to the manner of making the seizure, /
can do little more now than suggest methods
Of convenience. Where the State law directs
the method OF seizure, it should be contormed
to as nearly as may be, consistently with the
objects of the acts of Congress. If the thing
to be seized be personal property, it ought to
be actually seized and safely kept. IT real es-
tate, the marshal ought to seize all the right,
title interest and estate of the accused party,
giving notice, in writing, of the seizure to the
tenants in possession II any.

of the country property has been seized by

law, the marshal shall receive the same, and
make return thereof to the District Attorney.
After the seizure of the property, the Dis
trict Attorney will, with all convenient speed,
proceed in the proper court for the condemna-
ton Of the property seized.
