United STATES VESSELS.

Under the above head il is stated by some of
our contempor aries that 1.-The Director of the
Bureau Of Statistics computes the total num-
Ter of vessels in the United States at I2.2O7,~
and that s'the total tonnage of the vessels con-
tanned in this list is 2,755,5O4"
In the Statesman's Year Book for 1s6s, pub
lished by Macmillan & Co, London, a work
Puolished yearly, and always revised with
great care, the total registered tonnage of the
commercial marine of the United States tor a
series Of years. and at the end OF each year, is
given as follows:
Ie60. 5,3s3,s tons 1s64 0S6, .O1 tons
1851. ,s13 tons 1865 .5.O9S, 791 tons
ls62..-..5, ~, 165 tons. 4,3l077s tons.
1oo3......5, I26Os1 tons.
Deduct Mr.. Delmar's estimate for 1861 from
the above figures for 1856, and it would appear
that the commerce of the United States has
fallen OF at the enormous rate of ,555 27i tons
IN one year. Can this be so Is it probable
And il il be incorrect, what must be thought
OF an official who can thus recklessly publish
such a statement, TO the manifest detriment of
the shipping interests of our people, and to our
national prestige on the ocean
Mr. Delmar is already famous for throwing
on in few moments of leisure, as Upper
completed the sChrstobel- of Coleridge statis-
teal tables that cost capable officials months
and even years of labor. He has undertaken
recently TO furnish census of the United
States, and this can be shown 10 be short of the
real figures by at least two millions of the
population. But what is deficiency of two
millions of people and nearly two millions of
tonnage to Mr.. A. Delmar! For a statieian like
A. H. IL Is, in fact, coming rather close to the
mark
1t Is a noticeable fact that when aggregates of
this kind are unreliable, they invariably fall
below the mark of the true figures being mar
tial and incomplete.
But the commercial people of the country
have right TO know whether their interests
shall be trifled with and jeoparded in this IRE
sponsible way. Let Congress call ter correct
information, and it will doubtless be forthcom-
ing The Registers Office at the Treasury re-
oeiVes the official returns and prepare the of.

tonnage Of the United States fallen of nearly
one-half in one brief year, or has it mott That

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The question of the ACCESSIBILITY of CORPORAL

the Public School system of the country. The
advocates OF corporal punishment say that il is
essential to enforce the teachers authority. On
the other hand II Is urged that the dread of ex-
