DECLINE IN AMERICAN SH1pp II
IS said that one cause of the decline in
American shipping is the snbstitu
ton OF iron for wood in the construc-
ton of vessels. From the followiny
abatement it will appear that some OF
our capitalists are preparing for this
change. Mr.. John Roach, the pro-
prietor Of the Morgan Iron Works
and several other extensive, estab-
lishments in New York, and well
known by his heavy government
contracts, on Saturday closed a
large purchase OF Delaware river
front land near Chester, Pa, with
the design ofdevoting it to iron
ship-building and kindred branches
OF enterprise. The great superiority
Of the Delaware for this pupose is
daily becoming more apparent, and
this substantial acknowle i g m N t
from one of the heaviest ship bull.
ders ill New York is but the first step
in attracting capital towards and
stimulating great improvement in
that vicinity.

tionable, and he has proved him.
self valiant soldier in the campaign
of 1866. This election gives the
house of Savoy u position of great
importance among the royal families
of Europe. The new Spanish SOY
ereign is the second son of Victor
Emmanuel, by rank and title Duke
Of Aosta, better known as Prince
Amadeus Ferdinand Maria. He was
born in 1916. and, having passed
through inferior grades, was colonel
Of the Lombard Grenadiers and gen
eral of brigade in the Austro-It
campaign of 1866. At the battle OF
Custozza he led his brigade against
the Austrians, and he and his brother
distinguished themselves by their
bravery, Prince Amadeus in particu-
lar, who was wounded in the chest
and had TO be removed from the
ileld. In 1867 irince Amadeus mar
ried Mary, daughter of Prince Poz-
20 della Cisterns. the head of his
torical italian family. He is connec-
ted, by the marriage of his sister
Clotilde to Prince Napoleon, with

King of Portugal, Don Louis. I. His
mother was Adelaide, daughter of

Spanish Cortes, has set out for
Florence to tender the Crown of
Spain to the Duke of Aosta. The
Cortes have adjourned to await the

THE san DOMINGO TREATY.

ON'>
of the speculation they had fixed mp in
the matter. of the annexation of San
Domingo. OF course it was not ex-
pected that they would pay any atten-
ton to the ciamors Of the Democracy
but one would have supposed that the
opposition of the Republican leader in
the Senate would have caused these
men to reflect before they jeoparded
any further the integrity of the Rcpub-
lican party by proceeding with their
nefarious transaction. But any one
who has watched this administration
must be satisfied that Mr.. Grant, in his
greed for the good things of the world,
is a believer in the doctrine that a bird
in the hand is worth two in the bush
1t may be very good thing for Mr.
Grant to get himself reelected in 1872,
and with it the same number of pres
ents and other things as characterised
his last elevation. But then, the re-
election i s predetermined and the
chances Of it are getting more remote
every day With the San Domingo
question, however, the case is far diff
ferent. Town lots, mines, forests and
such like, are already guaranteed the
American President and the Other
American coadjutors of Baez, and it Vi
4
oiates all the laws of administration
cnpidity to let these go for the sake OF
certain underlined prospect of reelec-
ton and another feur years enjoyment
of the loaves and fishes. Hence Mr..
Grant, after Mr.. Summers speech, in
stead of giving up his job, applies him
self more vigorously to it, and insists
on fighting it out on that line and on
no other. Aud he seems to have met,
too, with Il FOOLS luck III his efforts
Only seven Republicans can be fonnd
in the HOUSE, to emulate Summers man
Illness and independence. This small
voice crying in the Radical wilderness
at Washington cannot deter Grant
from his sp, culation. Its Cassan,lra-
like prophecy of evil falls UNDECIDED on
his avaricious ears.
The commissioners will, therefore,
go to San Domingo to investigate the
feelings of the people on the subject of
annexation. They will be such men as
Ben. Wade, Morton and Butler, ready
to do the Presidential dirty work.
Their report has doubtless been made
already, and is in the hands of the
printer for publication. The sailing.
the dinner with Baez, and the return,
are all a matter of form, got up for ap-
pearance sake, and to put money into
the pockets of the Commissioners.
San Domingo is to become part of
tie "best government the world ever
saw"
And so we go. When the Demo-
cratic party annexed the fertile prairies
of Texas and the rich mines of Califor-
MIA, without cost, these men raised an
cutlery against the policy Of a Republic
expanding itself by the acquisition of
territory. Now, however, they pur-
chase, at extravagant rates, an Arctic
region where an Esquimaux Indian can
scarcely subsist, and barren Island
whose fevers would sweep off in a
week whole population other than
the few lazy negroes who now inhabit
it. But there is no telling to what the
avarice and corruption of the party
Which now controls the government
will not drive the country. before it is
driven from power.
