Total American tonnage
entered al poTff N

Thut 1t appears that prior to 1862 the tonnage
of American vessels entered at ports of the
British empire was double the tonnage OF Brit
ish vessels entered at ports Of the United States;
but that since 1865 the tonnage of British yes
sells entered at ports of the United States has
been double the tonnage of American vessels
entered at ports of the British empire. The
report states that the prominent aud persistent
cause of this complete inversion OF the relative
shipping interests of the two countries is attribu
table solely to the changes which steam and iron
have wrought both in the vehicles and In the
modes of commerce. He therefore raises the
question whether the relations of maritime re-
ciprocity which were established especially for
the purpose of meeting the requirements ofsthe
should not be very materially modified In order
To subserve our interests in the direct commerce
pursued by steam vessels. Practical results
thus far show that our present relations of mari
time reciprocity are all in favor of British steam
navigation and all opposed to American steam
navigation.

THE ESCAPE Of "Curley" Harris, a noted
Philadelphia offender, from the clutches of
Chief of the Philadelphia police, two detec-
tives, and high constable, the particulars of
which are duly recorded in our local columns,
has rarely been equalled in ingenuity and
daring on his part, and in ineffective watch
fulness on the part Of his captors. Jack
Sheppard is fairly outdone by "Curley" Harris,
while the picked men of our model police
force figure as worthy descendants of the
ancient officials whose grasp was easily
eluded by the thieves of the olden time
Philadelphia may continue to boast of the
sharpness of her lawyers, perhaps, but she
can't brag much of her bank watchmen or her
policemen

THE letter of Henry d. Moore, Collector
of the Port of Philadelphia, explaining his
action in the Custom House case complained
Of in the Annual Report of the Executive
Council Of the Board of Trade, leaves no
room for doubt of the wisdom and justice of
the action of the Philadelphia Custom House.
Mr.. Moore, in the instance referred to, did
right, as was proved by the subsequent de-
cision of the Secretary of the Treasury, and
the order issued by him, directing the New
York Custom House to follow the rule laid
down by the Philadelphia Custom House.
There is only too much reason to believe
that imports are frequently undervalued, or
subjected to too small an amount on account
of duty at the New York Custom House. 1t
is a sink-hole of iniquity, and its officers
acted unjustly in the matter which gave rise
to the complaint under consideration. But
the true way to arrest such evils, which are
of constant occurrence, is not to complain of
officials of other ports who do their duty, as
Mr.. Moore did his, but to employ every pos
sible means to purify the New York Custom
House and to so disseminate its enormous
business among the various custom-houses of
the country that time and opportunities will
be afforded for an honest and faithful en-
forcement of all the provisions of the tariff

IT is an inherent part of republican govern
rnent that representation must be in accord
ance with the numbers represented. Why
should not this principle be extended to the
partisan action of the Republican party as
well as to the election of members of Con-
gress and members of the State Legislature
If it was resisted, in its application to Con-
gress and the State Legislature, the people
would speedily redress such an infamous
wrong. Philadelphia would never consent,
for instance, that she should send no more
members to Washington or Harrisburg than
Delaware county. Yet, in the new rules for
the government of the Republican party of
Philadelphia, similar wrong is to be per-
petuated-the voice of a great majority of
Republicans is to be stifed by slender
minorities-and one Republican in the Fourth
ward is to be given as much power in city
conventions as ten Republicans in the Tenth
ward. This is not right, and all wrongs carry
with them an appropriate punishment.

LEAGUE ISLAND.

In the National House of Representatives
yesterday there was general discussion with
regard to improvement Of our navy yards,
and the claims Of League Island obtained in
cidentally favorable mention. Several Of
the members who expressed their views on
the subject of increasing the navy yard ia
cilities of the Government we're strongly in
favor of reducing the number Of the yards
and increasing the capacity of those retained.
This is really o very serious matter, and it
should receive from Congress much more
attention than it ever has yet. The sdvaR-
tages of the League Island site, for instance,
are indisputable, and if q great naval depot
is established there half a dozen Of the pre-
sent yards can early be dispensed with, while
the efficiency Of an immense depot,
such as is proposed for League
Island, will be infinitely greater
together A naval depot at League Island,
enjoying, as it will, unsurpassed facilities for
obtaining coal, iron, and timber, will be
worth more in increasing the real power of
the navy as a means Of national defense than
if the present number of vessels were to be
doubled, and, what is a secondary but, never
theless, highly important consideration, it
will afford an opportunity for the establish
ment of Government school for engineers,
such as is now almost impracticable. Con-
gress owes it to the country, as we'll as to the
city of Philadelphia, which donated League
Island to the Government, to consider this
matter seriously, and we hope that the pre-
sent session will not be allowed to pass away
without some measures being adopted for
commencing the work of putting League
Island in condition,

The Radical Thieyiny.

The New York Herald,
(Grant organ) under the head
ing, "The Last Batch of Off
cial Thieves" says that follow
ing the local financial irregu-
larities Of the metropolis,
comes defaulcation of over
one hundred thousand dollars
in the New York post Office
and a robbery of a million by
the Deputy Pay-master of
the army at Washington. AS
the Republican organs have
been blatant over Democratic
plundering for the past few
weeks, we may expect now,
to witness q return fire from
the Democratic side and to
hear volley after volley dis
charged at the heads Of the
dishonest Radical officials
Turn about is fair play. In
the meantime, the stolen mon
ey, whether purloined from
the Finance Department, the
Street Department, the Post
Office, or the army chest, all
comes out Of the pockets of
thepeople." The Herald should
have added the distinction that
while the money purloinej
from the departments Of New
York city came out Of the
pockets of the people of that
city alone, the money pur-
Joined from the Post Office and
army chest comes out of the
people generally.

When the so-calIed new de-
parture was first presented to
the public, through the resolu-
tons of the Ohio State Con-
vention, the Radicals declared
IN the most positive terms that
it was only adopting their prin-
ciples. They claimed that it
was an attempt to steal their
thunder, that it was in no way
commendable on the part of
the Democratic party. Since
the elections in Ohio and Pen
nsylvania have resulted in a
Democratic defeat, these same
Radicals are announcing it as
the death Of the new depar-
ture. That it is the death of
what, only few weeks ago,
they assured the public was
nothing more nor less than
their platform of principles
and the main element of their
party existence. If their po-
sition was correct then, and is
correct now, it is certainly a
matter of doubt who has been
defeated in those two States.
According to Radical logic the
Democratic candidates have
been defeated on one side and
the principals of the Radical
Party on the other.-Free

The More Important.

In point of national consid-
Grafton there is. more impor-
lance to be attached to the re-
suit Of the election in Texas
than in Pennsylvania and
Ohio. In Texas we gain three
members Of Congress, which
is an important item in the
political influence of the low
er branch Of Congress. 1t is
an increased force against the
unlimited power which that
body has been exercising in
the work of Capitalization. 1t
will add to the volume of Dem
ocratic force in behalf of the
maintenance of the Constitu-
ton and in favor of the pres
ervation Of constitutional gov
eminent. The result in Texas
is, therefore, of national i'm
portance and significance, and
has a more decided bearing
upon the futuer than the re-
suit in Pennsylvania and Ohio
combined. Free Press.

What PIeascs the Public.

Talking the other day with an able
and popular lecturer, who seldom fail
ed to get a full and attentive audience,
we ventured to ask what kind of sub
jects and what style of treatment he
thought the public liked best.
"Well," was the reply, II hardly
know; but there's one secret I've
found out-what the public hates is
information"
People go to scientific lectures, no
doubt, they would 60 to see a Greek
play if it was the fashion, but the ex-
uberant chuckle of laughter with
which the weakest attempt at joke
on lecturers part is welcomed by the
gravcst audience is proof quite strong
enough of the WEAKNESS of the natural
man over the dry husks of instruction,
aud his delight when anything turns
up which has an unexpected favor
1t suggests the feeling of the man
who tasted the ounce in his apple tart:
"How delicious an apple tart would
be which was all made of ounces"

How they Flourish.

The following anccdotc is told of
Father Allen, first pastor of the church
in Marlborough, y. H.:
One day, while writing a sermon, be
was called cut of his study, on some
business with a neighbor. A young
man with large amount of fun and
mischief in his head was living with
the pastor. He went into the study
and noticed sermon lying on the desk,
which Mr.. Allen was writing for the
coming Sabbath. Curiosity led him
to read the page not quite finished
The last sentence Mr.. Allen had left
quite incomplete. 1t read as follows !:
"The wicked flourish like a green
bay
The boy added "horse.'
When Mr.. Allen returned to the
study he did not correct the boys new
Interpretation, but from that point
went on and finished the sermon. On
the next Sabbath the congregation
were startled with something new, if
not true. The good pastor read his
sermon, and said:
"The wicked flourish like a green
bay horse"
The preacher paused, and then said
with emphasis, "horse! Yes, my
brethren, like green bay horse"
The scene which followed is describ-
ed as one Of uncomfortable merriment
on the part of the congregation.

Cast n Line for Yowrsc,c

"A young man, poor and detected
stood watching some anglers ON the
bank OF stream. At length, APP
preaching a basket we'll filed with
fish, he sighed and said
IF l now had these would be
happy. could sell them at fair
price, and buy me food and comforta-
bic lodging"
Il will give you a good fish," said
the owner, who CHANGED to overhear
his words, eff you will do me tria-
ing favor"
"And what is that ?" asked the 9th
err, eagerly.
"Only tend this line till I come
back; l wish to go on a short errand."
The proposal was eagerly accepted
The old fisherman was gone longer
than he expected, and the young man
began to be impatient. Meanwhile,
however, the hungry fish snapped
greedily at the baited hook, and the
young man lost his depression in the
excitement of pulling them in, and
when the owner of the line returned,
he had caught large number. Count
ing out from them as many as were in
the basket, and presenting them to the
young man, the old fisherman said
II fulfill my promise for the fish
You have caught, to teach you that
whenever you see others earning what
you need, to waste no time in fruitless
wishes, but to cast line for yourself"

An Indianapolis paper says: The
other evening two ladies walked up
Illinois street, past the Academy of
Music, with an air and manner that in
dictated that they were searching for
some one. Near the saloon door was
n little boy, whom one of them recog-
nized as her son, and questioned;
ooh, Charley, do you know where
your papa is ?"
"Why, of course, ma" was the an.
swer, "he's in here playing marbles,
and has got such great big ones"
A hurried dive into the billiard
room followed, the sound of female
voices, pitched in a high key, was
heard, a sheepish-looking man emerg-
ed, and the party took up the march
for home.
