WOODEN AND IRON SHIPs.-At a recent meeting, in
New York, of the Polytechnic Branch II the Ameri-
can Institute, paper was read by Mr.. Wyett upon
the subject of wooden and iron shps taking the posi-
ton that this country would in few years regain her
commercial supremacy lost during the "rebellion,
because, while England is building nothing but iron
ships, the United States cngs and he thinks wisely,
to wooden Aside from the difficulty of keeping
the bottom of iron ships clean the sudden change of
temperature affects them so materially as to render
them actually unsafe. He expressed himself of the
opinion that this the cause of the loss of the City
of Boston, for coming into the immediate vicinity of
icebergs when her hull was heated through by her
furnaces great contraction caused as break
her in pieces. He claimed that this theory had been
clearly demonstrated in the monitors during the war
very fine theory, doubt, but we are disposed to
think it should fail in practice for would not the con-
traction bring the hull back into the same condition it
was in before the expansion caused by the heat?
And in building the hull, would it be exposed to
the extremes of the intense heat of a summers SUM-
and of the winters cold and then be broken in pecesp
Though we make pretensions to scientific knowl-
edge, and possibly Mr. Wyett may be right.

The Militia.

The Shreveport Bulletin of Friday morning last
says that it has information that Mudget whom it ap
proprately styles notorious black guard who some
time ago faunted blue uniform in the face of this
community" is now collecting under orders of the
Governor, "a mob Of rowdy negroes" to be formed
into militia regiment and brought to Shreveport for
the purpose of controlling the fall elections.
Ne had heard vague intimaton of the kind but
could not believe that Governor Warmoth was so lost
to all sense of decency, policy and proprety poor an
opinion as we entertain of him. to perpetrate such
an outrage this Warmoth is no fool and whatever
sanderous charges may be made against the people of
this town and parish for political effect he knows full
well that state of la~lessness does not exist here
de knows that there has never since the surrender
peen an act OF violence committed here however great
the provocation when the officer was stoned for
parading the streets in carriage seated in the midst
OF three four coored prostitutes and which act
tacty endorsed by tina. officers military superiors.
And Governor Warmoth knows, or should know, that
there is point where endurance ceases to be virtue
and apses into gnominy and forfeiture of all man
hood, all self respect
We cannot, then, believe that he will inaugurate
such scenes would inevitably follow the ouartering
upon an otherwise peaceful and law.abiding people,
militia composed of brutal negroes, picked up from
the dens of vice and infamy in and around New Or
leans.
We must believe as well as hope, that our cotem-
porarys Informant is mstaken-believe so, because,
with all bis desire to make money have never re-
garded Warmoth particularly malicious or bloody
minded man; and hope so, for the sake of the freed
men here well from regard for the general we'll
being of the country. There is not to say
community in the South where there is less disturb
ance between the whites and blacks than in this The
freedmen, on recent OCCASION gave evidence of their
good sense in passing series of resolutions disavow
ing any disposition to force the mixed school system
and their general conduct is much better than could
be reasonably expected. No doubt much credit is due

denied no privileges except to associate with the whites
on terms of social equality-and this, all the armies

The late elections in Maine aud Yer
mont, show that the popular tide is
setting strongly against Radicalism.
The Democratic party made no calcu.
lations of carrying either Of these Radi.
cal strongholds, but il is gratifying to
know that 10 both States tho gains Of
the Democracy indicate very clearly in
which way the popular current is set
ting The Maine election took place
on Mouday, the 18th instant, and the
Democrats made gain Of sixteen thou.
sand votes. Another gain, Of like
character, will give the Pine Tree State
into the hands Of the Democracy, aud
this result We expect to accomplish in
the great national contest Of 1872, If
not earlier. In Vermont, at the late
election, the Democracy gained twenty
members in the House, aud one in the
Senate. These are most gratifying re-
suits, in the face Of the heavy odds
against us in both Of those States, and
they very clearly indicate that the coun.
try has had enough Of the corruption of
reckless spebdthrift Radicalism, and
that change is coming The sooner
it comes the better it will be for the
country. We trust We shall sec, in the
approaching Congressional elections, the
power of Radicalism broken, and the
House of Representatives, at least, res
cucd from the control Of that party
With the House in the hands of the
Democracy, aud Democratic Execu.
tive elected in 1872, the Senat, can be
controlled, if not also secured by the
Democrats, so as to interpose no barrier
to the wholesome reforms which
Democratic Administration will inaugu-
rate. The prospect Of speedy over
throw of the Radical party, which sits
like an incubus upon the prosperity and
advancement of the country, is calcula.
ted to inspire the Democracy with
confidence and hope. Let no stone be
LEFT unturned to render this happy au-
curry the more sure.
