. Inc parliamentary returns show that the
tonnage OF the whole British Empire was less
at the close OF 1870 than at the termination
of the previous year. The number of sbins
on the register December 81, 1869, was. 20 :
O72, aggregating 1882 65s tons, while on the
same date in 1870 there were 1886 shits
representing 7,150,S42 tons. This shows !
diminution at the close of 1870 of 1,476 ships,
of 31,S17 tons. For the United Kingdom
alone, in the same period, the decrease was
TAG vessels, of H. 34 tons. The new tonnage
registered in Great Britain in 1870 was 500

ers OF 226,591 tons, making a total
ol l'o43 vessels of 362S77 tons, and sho

crease OF $500 tons. The Suez trade has been

in the aggregate tonnage of the whole n.u on
there was gain in the arrivals and denar,f,a'

trade is becoming absorbed by steamers. and

STATEMENT from the treasury depart
ment at Washington shows that there has
been charged against collectors of internal
revenue who are supposed to be defaulters,
since the internal revenue bureau went into
operation, the sum of $2,76s,OOO, none of
which will ever be recovered by the govern
ment. The unadjusted accounts of collectors
in all parts of the country, amount in addi-
ton to $460,2S2, most of which will be realiz-
ed. But in spite of this, the Democratic pa
pers continue to assert that the revenue ser
vice has been robbed of twenty millions, bas-
ed on letter of Secretary Boutwell, to the
House of Representatives which called for unad-
justed balances due from collectors. 1t NAV
be further remarked that these defalcations
were mostly made by men appointed by Mr..
johnson under lis "my policy" rule, and that
the smallest amount has been made by officers
appointed by President Grant.

THE FLUTTER of the Democratic press
over Speaker Blaine's speech clearly indicates
that the Democratic birds are buzzards rath-
er than owls. The Republican press, includ-
ing all stripes, speak in the highest terms of
the speech; and the fact that the Democratic
journals of every calibre, are exhausting their
stock OF epithets upon the speech and its aa-
thor, is the most conclusive proof of its force

as the one who gets it, and no one bellows so
loudly or uses so many hard words as the un-
fortunate one who has bitten the dust.
