AN experimental trial trip of a new
plan Of n monitor war vessel has
changed English public opinion from
its late derision OF the monitor sys-
TEN very considerably. We clip the
following from the Philadelphia
Ledger:
The Channel and the Meditterra-
mean fleets were sent on an expert
mental trip, and n careful examine
ton was made Of the respective mer-
its Of the old-fashioned wooden ves-
sels, the ironclads, and One-turret
ship. During very severe weather in
the Bay Of Biscay, the ironclads
proved seaworthy vessels, but rolled
80 heavily that the guns were unser-
viceable. The turret-ship, the Mon
arch, at the same time sat steadily on
the water, and, IL IL asserted, could
have steamed through the fleet with
lmpunity, and sent every vessel to
the bottom. The Monarch ia com
binatiOn OF the ironclad and the
monitor, having n revolving turret,
but showing a low broadside above
the water. She Is not submerged 80
much a. an ordinary turret-ship, and
therefore can be propelled faster,
while afIording better accommoda-
tons for officers and crew. This de.
scription corresponds with vessels
built In the United States during the
latter part of the war, and con-
strictcd according to the experience
acquired In actual conflict and cruis-
Ing OF the coast"

THE Missouri Republican says :
IL Is generally believed that Ten
nessce will not ratify the XVIII
amendment; II Is scarcely possible
that Ohio, with her new Democratic
House, will lott; and tits absolutely
certain that California will not do It.
suppose, then, that the XVIII
Amendment should fail-what then?
The Republican press has threatened
some severe things against Tennes-
see, " she refuses TO ratify-such as
declaring her Representatives and
Senators from Congress, and remand
ing her TO military control. But
what about Ohio and California ?
The possible failure Of the proposed
amendment will be no more the fault
of Tennessee than Of Ohio and CALI
fornia. Ought not Iiadicalism, in
that event, To reduce Ohio and Cali
fornia to military control and har-
rnss their people till they were will

WASHINGTON, Dec. This morning Sena-
tors Johnston and Lewis, together with the
members elect OF the House OF Representatives,
now ia Washington. and several members OF
both branches of the Virginia Legislature,
Conservative aud Radical, called upon the
President to pay their respects, thanking him
for the recommendations made In his message
in reference to Virginia, and expressing the
hope that he would continue his efforts for the
advancement OF the interests OF the State.
The President returned his thanks Tor the
compliment, and said that he trusted the con-
duet Of the State would show that his recon-
mendations were appreciated.
After the presentation OF the members Of
the delegation, Judge Johnston requested that
Judge Alexander Rives might be appointed
the district Judge, under the new law, for the
fourth district. The President replied that he
knew Judge Rives, but that he was too old
10 which remark Senator Lewis said that that
was a mistake; Judge Rives was only sixty
three years of age, and was in the enjoyment
Of good health, bodily and mentally, and in all
respects qualified for the office.
The delegation then withdrew.
The Committee of Nine, OF the Conservative
members of the Virginia Legislature, have ar
rived except Mr.. lIerndon, and tomorrow are
