The Japanese government has given orders
in France for several large iron clads, each Of
which is to cost about three millions and half
Of francs. But for the high price of materials
and labor under our present system Of taxa
ton these vessels would in all probability
be built here. Canada has proated largely by
the folly which has driven this valuable branch
of trade from our ports. It is notifying to
see almost under our very noses the work
that would have kept our. shipwrights profta-

A Black Swan, Perhaps.

Governor Swami, of Maryland, as johnson
conservative, in his conflict last fall with
Forney, came very near involving the State
in bloody partisan row, and all to secure
the election Of Legislature which would
elect him to the United States Senate. His
Legislature was secured, he was elected to
the Senate, and he gave notice of his resigna-
ton Of the office Of Governor to the Lieuten-
ant Governor, in order to go to the Senate.
The Lieutenant Governor, as the presiding
officer Of the State Senate, gives the notice to
the Legislature, and forthwith preparations are
made for the Inauguration Of the Lieutenant
Governor as Governor. But on the last day
before this expected event Governor Swami
recalls his resignation. He has changed his
mind. He will give up the United States
Senate. The Lieutenant Governor Is taken
all aback, and everybody is asking what is
the meaning Of all this. Perhaps we can ex-
plain. Mr.. Calvert the State Treasurer OF
Virginia, was recently called as witness
upon something before the Judiciary Com
mittee of the Senate of the United States,
and it is given out at Richmond that he was
called to answer whether Governor Swami lin
order to save from confscation certain Vir-
ginia State bonds) had or had not, during the
rebellion, taken the oath Of allegiance to the
JEFF Davis confederacy. Mr.. Calvert could not
tell; but it is conjectured at Richmond that
Governor Swami can, and that accordingly,
on the sober Isecond thought" he has con-
Ind fhofa hir1 in, kho nor so rfn fxur
in the bush." Let the fact be made known.

for the old building, but the new one deserves
something better, both in the way OF artists and
impressorii. For instance, il manager like
Grau, who has shown himself man of vigor
Industry and progression, In harmony with the
enterprising spirit upon which the American
people justly pride themselves-who not
only brought the greatest tragedienne of
the age, Ristori, to this country, but
has carried her through the United States
with unexampled ttriumph-or some one
OF equal energy, we care not who it is,
would take hold Of the new Academy, it would
be guarantee of the revival of Italian opera.
Grau, whether he be Hungarian or Bohe-
mian-and we know not which he isis at all
events q manager Of experience and enter
prise, and we would advise the stockholders to
put their building in his charge. Everything
there Is fresh and juvenescent The Academy
has received new life and almost new bap-
tism- All the old scenery and nearly all the
old clothes have been burned up. Perchance
some Of the latter may yet be found in Chat
ham street, but they will not probably find
their way back to the operate stage again.
Therefore let us have . new manager and new
artists in keeping with the new theatre. There
are young singers of merit in Italy as plenty
rs blackberries, including sopranos, contraltos,
tenors, baritones and bassos, who might be
brought over to this country If any energetic
manager would take the trouble to 60 over
there and engage them. In fact there is no
reason why artists who have as yet not con-
tributed to the reputation of the operate stage
In Europe should not be presented here, and,
after winning fame in America, take back an
enviable reputation to the Old World which
might eclipse that Of many popular singers
who command success there. 1t only requires
q manager of experience and enterprise to in
fuse new life, novelty and brilliancy into our
reconstructed opera house and give respect
able tone to Italian opera.
