The American artisan states that no less than
twelve Iron Steamships are now in process of
construction on the Delaware, at cost OF
more than Six Millions of Dollars. 1t would
be odd if, before our Free-Traders had finished
grooming over the ruin of American ship-build-
ing by Protection, it should appear that Ameri-
can hip-building had MT been ruined at all.

The Cincinnati Convention quietly transacted
its preliminary business yesterday, appointing
Committees on Organization, on Platform, &c.
Carl Schurz was made President Of the Con-
vention. Before adjourning last evening it
was announced that the Platform Committee
had agreed on its Tariff plank, but had not
completed its labors. 1t will doubtless report
on the reassembling of the Convention at 10
a. m. to-day, when the proposition of candi-
dates for President and Vice-Presdent will be
in order. We judge that this day will wit
ness the harmonious completion Of its labors

AS amnesty and abolition of capital punish
ment occupy, just now, the attention OF the
French Assembly, it is natural that stay Of
summary executions of Communists should be
ordered. President Theirs, however, keeps
right on with his policy of revenge until a
portion of the Radical Left demands suspen-
sion while pending questions are unsettled. 1t
seems time that the flow of blood at SatOry
should be ended.

ga few days ago, and though the answer Of

ga few days ago, and though the answer OF
"Lord Granville, received on Saturday, neither
accepts nor rejects the proposal" there is
some hope of coming to an understanding.
But by Wednesday it had taken tho exactly
opposite view of the matter. The elaborate state
ment prepared in the State Department and
communicated to tho country by the Associated
Press, says "The United States has made
"no proposals in the premises" 1t is not to
be wondered at that the most servile support
or of the Administration in New-York was so
struck by the impossbility, of keeping up with
so violent a series of somersaults that
it merely suppressed the whole statement, and
did not print nor refer to the memorandum.
The Administration has lost its head, and can
no longer be believed when it makes a SIM
pie statement Of facts According to their
own showing, their surrender grows worse
and worse. We can only hope that
when the correspondence is published
1t may prove that they have libeled them
selves unnecessarily in advance-though the
cxultation of the British press and the threat
ened thanks of the Ministry are not encour-
aging symptoms.

Who stole the Buell. Inquiry records The
question has not yet been solved by the
House Committee which is seeking informa-
ton. But it is settled that they were stolen
before the term of Secretary Belknap, though
the discovery of their disappearance was not
complete until the House called for them.
Somebody, however seems to have known
that they were gone as long ago as 1870.
Why has this been hushed up7 The Nelo-
York Times acknowledges that the records have
disappeared from the War Department-or, in
other words, have been stolen,-but asserts
that the theft occurred so long ago as 1868,
and that not a circumstance connected with it
"points to any motive, on the part of any one
"havng access to the record since the present
Administration came into power, to carry 1t
"away.n This needs proof. A Committee OF
Congress can perhaps ascertain how long these
important documents have been missing; but
even if they were distracted in 1868, does 1t
follow that nobody having access to them
under Gen. Grants Administration was inter-
ested in removing them from the files 7 If
they were distracted, it was not that they
might be used for waste-paper, but because
they imperiled the reputation of somebody
besides Gen. Buell.. Let us know who that
was. Let us find out whose military capacity
was attacked by the testimony, and perhaps
We shall have no great trouble in solving the
mystery of the disappearance.

That new religious sect of Peculiar People" ap-
pears to survive remarkably in England, considering
its views Of medical matters 1t is prime article of
faith of this denomination never under any circum
stances, to call in doctor. Thus at Plumstead a
little girl Of an elder of the p. p. had small
pox. The elders prayed over her; they laid
hands on her they anointed her; and, generally
speaking, "put their trust in God" In eleven
days, without the administration of any medicine,
with only little arrowroot and wine to noursh the
body, the poor thing died. Of course, tho Peculiar
People are consistent enough to believe neither in
vaccination or contagon and. result, they have

We do not know whether it was parliamentary or
not but here is the queerest amendment to motion
which we ever read. At late meeting of the
Commissioners of Police in Peebesshire, Scotland it
was moved that pigs should not be kept within the
curtilage of dwelling-houses, upon which one Com
missioner Stewart proposed an amendment in the
following style "Od boys, gle the auld wives a
chance anither time. The swine are just like q
savings bank, for wi an extra shilling the auld
bodies max pun'--my mither was ance an aud
wife-but wud sec that they be kept clean. extra

good deal of ingenuity for the Clerk to make motion
ont of this, but it was done, and, most of the
Commissioners once had mothers, it was triumph
antly carried

Wounded French pride is still feeling about
for the causes of the late national humiliation
and for some vicariOus sacrifcial victim.
Bazaine and Wimpffen are now suggested as
proper subjects of a cOurt-martial. The French
have not forgiven Metz, and they hope to find
an explanation of NapoleOn's =" treason at
Sedan when poor Wimptien tells all he knows
of that catastrophe. They seem to forget that
the Empire-tbe cause of all their wOes-is no
longer subject for inquiry.

A new marriage market has been opened for
woman crowded England. The Queensland news
papers report the marriage Of two South Sea Islanders
with Englishwomen. The bridegrooms are natives
of the island Of Lifu but they Christians with
fair knowledge of English, and one of them wrote
well enough to sign the certificate. "If the idea"
smartly remarks The Pail Mall Gazette, "once gains
ground in this country that Christian South Sea
Islanders, or even South Sea Islanders who may be-
come Christians under domestic influences, look

Considering what solemn business Hanging Is,
it is odd that it should often be even chance
whether convict is hanged or not In England,
lately, one Lennard, Is mere boy convicted OF muir
der, was left at Leeds for execution. A gentleman
telegraphed to the Home Secretary that there was
strong local desire that the sentence should not be
carried out. The Home Secretary wrote back that
in consideration of all the circumstances he did not
think that the sentence ought to be mitigated
Then two other gentlemen interested in the matter
again telegraphed to the Secretary, who answered
that he had determined to reprieve Lennard. He
was, it will be SEEM in the morning for hanging the
lad, and in the afternoon he was for not hanging
him Suppose the boy had been hanged between the
receipt of the letter and of the dispatch!

The Carlist instruction is rapidly assuming
its usual form of disintegration. Serrano was
expected, yesterday, to force an engagement in
Navarro with the abselutist bands in that pro-
vince, and if that is done they will unquestiOna-
bly, be defeated They have never succeeded in
a fight with regular troops. When the insur-
rection is ended the ex-Regent will prob
ably have gained an accession of popularity
which will render him dangerous compet-
itor for Mr.. .Sagasta as Prime Minister. The
Republicans wisely retain a passive attitude.
The report from the Judiciary Committee
recommending the impeachment of Judge
Geo. G.. Barnard was yesterday adopted by
the Assembly: Yeas, 90; Nays, 16. We rejoice
that the majority was so large that no one can
plausiby assert that it was dictated by parti-
san antagonism. In fact, we have not heard
politics mentioned in connection with the pro-
ceedings against any one of our Judges from
first TO last. The Bar Association is their
prosecutor, and the Bar, with few excep-
lions, demands their conviction. Judge
Barnard, having been formally impeached,
is now disqualified from presiding in
court until he may have been duly ac-
a
any of the other accused judges, and his bold
ness often amounts to reckless bravado. 1t
is to be hoped that for once he will make
good use of this temper of his mind and
stand a trial CardozO has escaped permanent
disqualification for office, and perhaps imagines
that he has avoided some of his disgrace by a
precipitate resignation. If Barnard Will show
a sturdy front and give the Bar Association
opportunity to prove the charges which they
have made against him, he will do the public
a greater service than he has ever rendered
thus far in the whole of his remarkable Ca
,eer. 1t is not right that two of the chief
rogues of the Ring should walk out of Office
quietly when they might be kicked out
When the Administration has made up its
mind what it has done and what it expects to
come of the Alabama business, it will then be
time TO critcise its action with some care. AT
present it is pointing all ways at once,
