Proposed Reforms In tho Merchant SCI

vice-Marine schools.
We are glad to observe the Introduction OF
an important bill into the House of Represen-
ject the greater security Of life and property at
sea by providing for the examination of mas
tiers and mates in the merchant service and for
the establishment of public marine schools in
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and San Francisco. That majority of marine
disasters result from the dangers of the seas
alone is not the case. They are, in fact. the
consequences, in great measure, Of igno-
rance, cupidity or intemperance, and it is high
time some legislation was had to arrest or pre-
vent the wholesale destruction of life and pro-
perry that we daily chronicle. Mr.. Eliot's bill
points out very clearly remedy in the future
by creating Board of Examiners in each OF
the cities named, to consist Of an officer Of the
navy, nominated by the Secretary, one person
named by the local board of trade and one by
the board of marine underwriters at their re-
spective ports. These boards are to inquire
into the sObriety, experience, ability and gen.
foreign going ships home traders. passenger
and coasting vessels Of over one hundred tons
burden, and to issue to such only as may be
found qualified certificates of competency,
which certificates shall be approved by the
presiding officers Of the local boards Of trade
and underwriters, and a duplicate thereof trans
mitted TO the Secretary Of the Treasury, who
shall appoint registrar of seamen for the
preservation OF these records, and to whom
notice shall be given Of all orders, suspensions,
cancellations, &c. Severe penalties attach TO
the fraudulent issue OF any such certificates,
and no vessel is allowed to proceed to sea
without at least two ofhcers on board fully
competent in practical knowledge to manage
her under oil The incidental casualties OF navi-
CATION. Provision Is likewise made in the
event Of disaster, by which Life or property ID

drunkenness or other misconduct on the part
Of the master or mate for means Of prompt
investigation and punishment, upon the appeal
Of any owner, underwater, shipper, passenger,

tary Of the Treasury. Finally, in order to
promote nautical education, and 10 educate
officers and seamen for the merchant service in

tary Of The Navy b authorized 70 supply .

menss 10 be used in the establishment Of public
marine schools in the ports Of Boston, New

the government may be given to the States

ton that the State Legislatures shall establish,
at their own expense, public nautical schools for

The Negro Disturbance. mt washington.

The riotous and murderous conduct of the
blacks at Washington after the charter cleo
ton had resulted in radical victory may well
alarm the country. 1t matters but little
whether the first blow, which was the proxi-
mate, accidental cause of the riot, was struck
by a white or by black hand All accounts
seem TO agree, however, that an inoffensive
white man, u soldier was the first victim of
negro violence. Cut across the ribs with
razor, he died in short time Another white
man was killed by negro, who cut him across
the wrist with n razor, severing an artery. The
house of a conservative judge of election was
entered and Quilted by negro mob, which

tiondl Inte0igencer. Restaurants were stoned,
forcibly entered and robbed. The windows of
other buildings were broken, and the wife of q
police officer was struck on the shoulder by
one of the missiles. Throughout the city
of whom were found to be armed with muskets,
clubs and pistols, but, az il indicating the
savage ferocity of the Infatuated blacks, their
favorite weapon was found to be the razor.
What strikes us, however, as still more hor
riblc detail is the incendiary speech addressed
to the negro mob by Mr.. Forney. Our cor
respondent, in his letter which we published
yesterday, states that the cx-Secretary Of the
Senate told this mob that there were two regi-
ments of Lees rebel troops In the city with
hostile intent against the colored people.
No language can be too strong in reprobation
of such direct appeal to the worst passions Of
an ignorant and excitable race. Its tendency
to provoke dangerous, If not fatal, collisions
between whites and blacks is inevitable. Yet
this is the tendency of the entire policy Of the
Jacobin leaders of the dominant radical party.
What Charles Lamb would have classed among
the imperfect sympathics between the two races
these blind leaders of the blind are trying their
utmost to convert into cruel antipathies. An
infinity Of painful consequences must ensue,
eliminating, IL not providentially checked, in
q repetition on grander scale Of the horrors
Of the st. Domingo massacre.
We firmly believe that both the former slave
holders Of the South and their emancipated
slaves would gradually have adapted them
selves to their new relation TO each other,
reapiug mutual advantages from II, II fsnstical
Intermediates had not wickedy sown the seeds
Of dreadful conflict Of races. The arst fruits
Of this conflict are visible in the recent deplo-
rable scenes NJ Washington. A full harvest Of
destruction will be the final and terrible
| result.

Telegraph IRE. Oar Paciac Coast e China
and japan. ~
We notice Q movement has been made in
Congress to promote the construction of
telegraph lines from the Pacific coast to China
and Japan. We have only very brief an
nouncemeht of this initiatory step-which was
by petition to Congress, through the hands Of
Senator Cole, Of California, for certain privi-
leges for this purpose-but 1t is step in what
must prove to be one Of the most important
enterprises of the age. We do not know who
the parties are composing the company that
has petitioned Congress or what is the nature
Of the privileges asked, but If they be the right
parties to carry out such an enterprise the
government should give them all the facilities
possible. The nations of Europe, and particu-
larly England and Russia, are pushing tele-
graphic connections into the heart of Asia and
up to China with view to extending and
charging their commerce. Shall we be behind
themp The great outlet of the trade of China
is along the seas facing the American Con-
tinent, and we have greater facilities and
better opportunity to make telegraphic COM
munication with China and Japan for the pur-
poses Of commerce than the nations of Europe.
Indeed, the news and business transactions
between this part Of Asia and Europe may be
carried better by this route and across the
American Continent than by any other. It
would make the United States the centre
Of the world, commercially and for the diffusion
ofideas, as it is geographically. BY looking at
the map it will be seen that this telegraphic
connection ID quite practicable. OF course
land line along the coast from San Francisco
to Alaska is easy enough. From thence sue
cession of short ocean cables by the way of the
Aleutian Islands to the most southern point of
Kamtschatka would not be more than two
thousand FIVE hundred miles, and no one of
the cables need be over FIVE or six hundred
miles in length. All would be south of the
sixtieth degree of north latitude, and in eli
mate not as severe as that of st. Petersburg or
the most northern part of the coast of Maine.
From Kamtschatka to Japan is about five hun
dred miles, with chain of numerous islands
lying between. From Japan to Shanghae, in
China, is only q few hundred miles. There
the American and Pacific lines would connect
with those of the East India Telegraph Com
pany, which are to connect all the great ports
of the Chinese empire. And we may feel
assured, from the progressive disposition Of
the government of China now, that it will not
be long before a network of telegraph wires
will extend to Pekin and throughout the in
terror Now is the time to start this great
movement, and ii is to be hoped that Congress
will give all the aid it can to the company who
will carry out the enterprise.
