.REBroR1Na sH1P-BUILDIHG,

041s Stb1AHtelueIt uElut1 VI IuQkESsS
from the State Of Connecticut, has proposed
3 bill to encourage the building Of hrst-
class steamships" which bill recites, in the
preamble, that ii Is ''eminently desirable"
that commerce should be restored to the
American Asg." The mode by which the
gentleman from Connecticut proposes to
accomplish this restoration Is to authozize
Connecticut company to build number Of
iron steamships, and the said CON-
pany to DO authorized to drnw from
the Treasury Of the United 6tates
an emount Of money <quai to the tar
into bodybuilding. This tax is equal to 70
per cent, and, therefore, whenever tho
company shall build steamer Of the value
Of $500, 900, the Secretary Of the Treasury
shall pay to the said company $3.50, 900,
and that ho shall, in addition, pay to the
said company $50. 900 for each and every
trip Of each Rteamez forever thereafter and
the company is to be allowed to import coal
FREQ Of duty, and its property is to be
exempt from TAXATION Some time ago We
published the substance OF two bills, orig
mating With members from Arkansas, hay
ing for their object the building Of steam-
ships to sail onl every ocean but this Con-
nechcut proposition is bolder attack upon
the Treasury than those. The forty mill
ions Of people in tho United States
have now, by treaty, a s5s-
TEN Of cheap postage between this country
and all parts Of Europe except France.
There is no difficulty IN having the mnils
carried for the postage. Tho ocean mail
service, therefore, costs this government
nothing. Why should the people build
steamships for Connecticut company to
cary the mails, and pay them $4,000
year for each steamer, for work which now
costs nothing2
II these gentlemen, who are so aolicitous
to have the American flag floating upon
every Sea, wish to act honestly, why give
this monopoly TO single company? Why
not offer tho same terms TO everybody who
will build steamer2 But why collect taxes
and then pay them back again7 Why not
remove the :a1 on ahip-building materials,
and let every ship-yard In the United States
resume its industry Why exempt the
coal used in nn ocean steamer from tax, and
collect it OF the river and lake steamers?
Why exempt ocean steamship property
from taxation, and not the sailing vessels,
steam vessels, md canal bouts of The domes-
tic trade2 Congress, by its tariff, has delib-
erately crushed out the once f1ourishiug
business Of ship-building, and nov it pro

1t is in the middle rank of life where
we behold woman in all her glOry-not
Il doll to carry silks or jewels; not Il
puppct to be tlattcrcd by profimc ado
aation; rcvcrcnccd to-day, discarded to-
morrow; admired, but not esteemed /;
ruling by passion, not affection; inn
parting her weakness, not her cOnstan-
cy, to the sex she would cXalt the
Sonrcc and mirror Of Vanity-we see
her aswifc, partsl<ing the cares and
cheering anXiGticS of the husband, di-
viding his tolls by her domestic dill
gcncc; spreading chccrfulncss around
her, for his sake; sharing the decent
rclincmcnts of the world without being
proud of them placing all hcrjoys and
happiness in the man she loves AS q
mother, we find her the aifcctiOnatc
the ardent inStructess OF the children
whom she has tended from infancy
traing them up To thought and virtue
to picty and bcncvOlcncc; addrosSin,
| them as rational beings, and preparing
them tO become men and women il

The steel Federal Bayoncts Strikes Fire
| From the baltimore Sun,

The results of the late election in
| Maryland have Il higher significance
| than that of Il party success. In this
depression of sentiment all men, if they
could but lay aside their partisan feel
in.S, would and should rightfully join.
| In the first place it should be Il matter
| of conYratulation to all that the day
passed Off without any disturbance OF
amy kind, or anything to justify the OK
| tr:tordinary agencies and precautions
| which were invoked under color of the
act of Congress for the purpose of pre-
serving the public peace and protecting
the rights of voters. Maryland nObly
| proved, rs she always has done, ut all
periods of her history, that she is album
dainty able to enforce her laws, and to
do justic to all men within her borders,
without volunteer protection or assist
uncc from without. She needed no act
of Congress to compel her to recognize
and secure the rights which by the
XVIII Amendment We're conferred up
on all persons, without distinction of
| race, color, or previous condition. AL
though her Legislature had uisapprOVcd
of that amendment in the manner and
under the circumstances under which it
was submitted to the States for their
adoption or rejection, no sooner was its
fltlNt.lllon programmed DN tlc proper
authority than she haStcnCu to conform
her legislation to the altered require
| mrntS of the Constitution. Her regis
tration and election laws, framed after
| Il painful experience of the abuses to
which the right of voting is ut times
subject, particularly in large cities and
| i'll crowded precincts, were adapted to
| secure the fullest and amplest protec-
ton to all, and to throw every possible
Safeguard around the purity of clcc-
tions. The ability and disposition of
| her police authorities, charged with the
| enforcement of those laws, to carry them
into execution in letter and in spirit,
| were beyond question. Above all, the
| spirit of her rprOplc-.just, nlagnlnimous
and laW-abidinG-g.,Nc the best guar
! antcc that the laws would be obcycd,
| and that neither force nor fraud would
| be permitted to deprive any man of his
| rights. 1t was undoubtedly the sus-
picion cast upon her good faith, and
| the slight offered to her dignity by the
| legislation of Congress and the cXtraor-
| dinary measures of prccautiOn, which
| arc supposed to find their justification
i'll that legislation, which contributed,
| in part ut least, to the result of Tuesday.
| The stccl of the Federal bayonets held
mcnacingly above her struck fire out OF
! the flint of the old Maryland spirit
| The vote of her people was protest,
now and forever, against the policy OF
| Federal interference in elections.

The Treaty Russia Wants Annulled.

Since the commencement of the war
between France and Germany, Russia
has repeatedly announced her intention
TO annul the principal stipulations of
the treaty of Paris, entered into at the
close OF the Crimean war. The con-
| tracting powers of this treaty were
France, England, Russia, Sardinia and
Turkey, and the following is a synopsis
of the points of most present interest
1t is, of course, the clauses which neu-
tralizcs the Black Sea which Russia ia
most eager to have repealed:
Article 9 mentions that the Sultan
grants reform in regard to his Christian
subjects.
Art. II. The Black Sea is neutralized.
While open to the mercantile marines
of all nations, its waters and ports are
formally and in perpetuity interdicted
to vessels of war, whether belonging to
nations having territory bordering on
it, or otherwise.
Art. II. This article prescribes that
all regulations respecting trade In the
Black Sea shall be conceived in a spirit
favorable to the development of COM
mcrcal transactions.
Art. l3. The Black Sea being neutral
izcd by foregoing provision, Ieussia, and
Turkey engage neither to constxSnet nor
w AsaNat oT
nal upon its coast.
Arts. 20 and p concede o pof1sn of
Russian territory, to be annexed to the
l'rincipality of MolGavia.
Art. %. The Principalities of Walla-
CHA and Moldavia are to enjoy under
the suzerainty of the Porte, and under
the guarantee of the contracting powers,
the privileges and immunities of which
| they are in possession. No exclusive
| protection shall be exercised over them
| by any of the guaranteeing powers.-
There shall be no private right Of inter-
florence in their affairs.
| Art. %. The Sublime Porte guaran-
tees to the aforesaid Principalities an
independent and national administra-
ton, as well as full liberty of worship,
legislation, commerce and navigation.
| Art. IS. The Principality of Servia
will continue to be dependent upon the
Sublime Porte, and subject to stipula-
tions nearly similar to those named for
! the other Principalities.
Art. 30. Russia and Turkey are to re-
tain in their full integrity their possess
sions in Asia to the same extent as be-
fore the war. Commissioners are to be
| appointed to settle the boundaries.

Arkansas has gone Conservative by

The Legislature elect is anti-RadicaP

mates Horace Greeley for the Presidency,
on account of his popularity "among
the manufacturcrs, whose interests he
has cspoused among the farmers, whom

who know him so we'll; among the
Southern blacks, whose rights he has

qualities and his intellectual powers.'' -
