THE NEEDS OF OUR NAVY. The
Secretary of the Navy, in his annual
report now well advanced, will express
the opinion that we do not require
great fleet like that of England or
France, and can safely leave other
powers to work out the costly pro-
blems Of armor plate against heavy
guns, and abide their decision wheth-
er the present overborne armor system
shall give way to no plating at all, or
lead to heavier plating than has yet
been found feasible. Our naval con
structors regard the existing iron-clad
fleets as costly failures, and consider
that the establishment of the practic-
ability Of putting and exploding tor
pedo under moving vessel by means
fast subaqueous torpedo boat reduces
the iron-cIad question to matter of
no practical consequence. But what
ever the fate of ironclads and torpedo
es, we want cruisers for the protection
of our commerce and people abroad,
and this want is immediate. There
are vessels enough on paper, put too
few ahoat, and those in large numbers
wearing out and becoming obsolete
and useless. Our squadrons abroad
are too small to afford by division the
necessary surveillance exercised by
other maritime powers over their in
terests in foreign counties, and Ameri-
can merchants are too often left with
out protection from their own flag and
glad to accept tavors from English,
French or German war vess els. Ac-
cording to Secretary Robson we need
new type of cruising vessels, within
proved and economic machinery. YES
sells of medium size and easily handled
with heavy batteries of from eight to
twelve guns on steady platforms, and
of good speed under steam, are the
good fighting ships essential to our
immediate service Everything of
minor Importance, even to a reduction
in number of the guns, should be sub
ordinated to speed Of fifteen knots
under average favorable conditions.

The Result.

The result ofthe Presidential election
on Tuesday of last week is now known
to the people of the Country. The
"Reform" movement did not it appears
stake very well with the voters of
the nation. Greeley & Brown are
most thoroughly whipped. Many
Democrats did not vote for them, and
that combined with the fraud, corrup-
ton, money, niggers and other illegal
arrangements of the Grant men caused
the defeat of those candidates by an
almost overwhelming majority. We
believe with fair vote and an honest
count, and with proper candidates for
the Presidency, the Democracy can
poll much larger vote than they did
last Tuesday, if not carry the election.
The increased vote and majority for
Grant is only due to the unpopularity
Of Greeley, and Democrats refusing to
vote for him by the hundreds and thou
sands. We hope hereafter that the
Democratic party will stand upon its
OVn merits and refuse to 90 into any
coalition or coalitions, however plaus-
ible they may appear Such coalitions
are disastrous humbugs; let us treat
them so, let the consequences be what
they may.
We must continue to fight Grantism
or Radicalism under whatever name or
disguise it may appear, until we drive
this ungcnial element from the nation
al Government and place it upon a
Democratic and Constitutional tounda-
ton.

Well Said.

y highly intelligent lady Of Taunton,
Mass, in writing just before the late
election to a gentleman in Windsor
County, expressed the following polit
ical Truths
"Nlr. C--bids me say to you -
There would be no trouble in electing
Greeley if we had as many niggers to
vote as many times as they please, and
our hands in the Public Crib. cold
and NiggerS are all that is required
now, and the GRANTEES have both. y
The lady adds: 81 must confess that
| cannot foresee what is to be the deS-
tiny of our beloved country; with such
q man at the head of affairs as Grant,
for another four years. 1t is strange
that men who appear to be sensible,
clear-headed, thoughtful men viii! allo,r
such Il man to be kept in Office one
year even, to say nothing Of another
term. see no hope for change |
see no way to keep the old Ship Of
State ahoat with that Horse.jochy a.
the helm. Her sails are tapping; her
masts all cracking; her spars broken :;
her hull rotten and leaking, and crew
who cares not who goes to the bottom,
provided they get all the money there
is aboard, and they are filling their
pockets with other peoples money,
And cho cum tell whdt tie end wiH be :?
did hope there would be found good
men enough in the country to make a
change. But to me the future looks
discouraging in regard to this matter.
But we must hope on hope ever and
,cork, and never give up until our par
ty, yea our principles are victorious.

The Supreme Court of Maryland
has just rendered an important decis-
ion in regard to the religious belief of
witnesses. The case in question was
an action for debt, where the defence
made objection to a witness on the
ground of religious belief. The objec-
ton was founded on the old common
law rule, as well as a provision in the
State Constitution providing that a
belief in the existence of God, with a
system of future reward and punish
ment, was a necessary requisite. 1t
was shown by direct testimony to i'm
peach the witness that, so far as could
be gathered from his expressions, he
came within these requirements. In
rebuttal it was shown that the witness
did not believe in a personal God, but
only in a supreme spirit pervading ma
ture. The court held that belief in
personal God was not necessary, and
that the witness by acknowledging
merely the existence Of supreme be-
ing or power established his compel
ency to testify.

The Election.

The result of the election-in which
we are not dlsappointed-shows that
the country is not ready for a reform
movement. The party in power has
committed many blunders, and no I'M
prejudiced person can doubt the sin
cerity of the great Republican states
men who declared for a change. But
it is evident that the great mass of the
Northern people have net yet over
come their distrust of the South and
Of the Democratic party 1t takes
time to conquer deep-seated prejudi-
ces. Confidence is plant of slow
growth; and neither the Southern nor
the Democrats leaders, though they
have accepted the results of the war,
have yet succeeded in winning the
confidence of the people, The Demo
Gratis have persisted in clinging to
their old party organization, which is
standing menace to Republicans, and
have shown an eager appetite for off
ce while demanding reform. We
have no doubt of the final triumph of
those principles upon which the Liber-
al movement of this year was found
ed, and of the disappearance Of the
issues of the late war from our nation
al politics. The result settles that as
surely as a Liberal victory would have
done. Meanwhile the Republican par
ty, which has so much to be proud Of
in its history, has one more chance
to purge itself Of its corruptions and
take a new lease of life If it shall
prove strong enough to cast out the
thieves who have fastened upon it and
so largely controlled it during the last
four years, it may win back the conf
dence of the wise and good. Presi-
dent Grant has an opportunity to
make his second administration glori-
Gus by retrieving the errors Of the first.
TO do this he should declare his indie.
pendence of the Generous, Chambers,
Murphies, Buffers and Conklings of
the party, dismiss the lmpecunious
brotherS-in-law, and take counsel Of
the best men oil the party. He should
make it his first duty to reform the
civil service in earnest, cut down the
sinecures which have been created for
political purposes, decrease the bur
dens Of industry and make the curren-
cy redeemable. BY such real reforms
he will confound his enemies, strength
en- and increase his his friends and add
to his own fame. The opposite course
is dangerous, for though the people
have refused to break their party lines
this year, they see the need Of re-
form and in one way or another mean
to see it accomplished.

1t seems that Mrs Huntington, of
Norwalk, Conn.,, was not allowed to
vote, after all. The Selectmen of the
town admitted her to the franchise
and she took the treeman's oath in due
form; but the registers subsequently
proved recalcitrant, and refused to put
her name on tie voting lists. Had
Mrs Huntington possessed the gift of
tongue, like Miss Susan B. Anthony,
the registers would doubtless have
been differently minded; or had she
