A NEW POLITICAL ERA IS OPEN
"a ing before the country. The negro
cycle of our politics has rounded to its
conclusion through civil war, social VIC
lence, industrial disorder, and has ended
in giving freedom to four millions of the
negro race, and the ballot to its adult
males. The politics of this new era will
come home to every mans business and
bosom as never before. being vital to pri-
waite prosperity aud the maintenance of
Democratic Republic.
For not only are the manifold encroach-
ments Of Federal upon State powers and
of both upon the large liberty of Ameri-
can freemen now as always to be repelied
with ceaseless vigilance; not only is home
lule or local self-government now as al
ways to be maintained for the best guar
antee OF civil liberty and of national
greatness, but besides, the victories of
peace which are to give splendOr to the
new political era must be won against ev-
cry advantage which evon enemies Of free
institutions could desire or possess.
A gigagtic Debt, which the honor of the
country is pledged to pay, encnmbers all
orr industries with it's oppressive burden.
Nevertheless our systems OF Municipal
and State Taxation are crude, unequal

IRON AND WOODEN SHIPS.

Although difference of views still exists
- to the respective merits of iron and wood
en- ships, the San Francisco Commercial Her.
aid thinks that the weight of public opinion is
now leaning heavily in favor of wooden ships.
II has been found that iron not only cor
rodes rapidly unless the greatest care tbe ia
kan to impede its progress by frequent paint
ing, but that it honey combs to serious ex-
tent, imperiling fhe vessels safety by the ex
terror appearance ofsoundness which induces
negligence. The list of casualties to iror
ships during the past year was fearfully large
being considerably in excess of the accidents
to wooden vessels, in proportion to their num-
Der. 1t ID noteworthy that the English never
bu lit iron ships until their forests we're all
gone, and their supplies of Mediterranean oak
became almost exhausted. The cost of inn
pc ring teak wood from Ceylon, Malabar &c.,
10 greater than the cost Of iron. Experience
has decided that wooden ships possess several
valuable qualities that are totally wanting in
those built Of iron. Among them is elasticity
which enables them to bear shocks and con-
cussi0ns without absolute and immediate de-
struction. Iron bottoms have strong ten
dency to foul, impeding their rate of sailing
to an extent which sadly interferes with the
profits of voyage. Up to the present time,
no means have been discovered to prevent
fouling, honey-comb and corrosion, which
entail the necessity of frequent docking.

TIE RAILROAD WAX.

A~ra;lroad war of no inconsidcrable I'M
portsnce is precipitated upon the State by
the opening of the extension OF the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad from Salmon Falls
70 Portland. The business of that road
with this State was formerly done over the
Portland, Saco and Portsmouth railroad,
but not being able to effect such arrange
ments as it desired with the latter road,
having the competition of the Eastern Rail-
road to contend with. the company pro-
cured q charter and extended their line to
Portland. The length of the extension,
from Salmon Falls TO Portland, is forty
four miles. The difficulty now is about
connecting with the Maine Central at
Portland. The latter company has its de-
pots at Portland established 10 accommo-
date business by the old road and also has
q contract with the Eastern Railroad favor
able for passengers and freight. On Mon
day the Maine Central refused to stop at
the crossing near the Boston and Maine to
receive the passengers of the latter road.
Accordingly the officers of the Boston and
Maine entered complaint before the
Court at Portland, Judge Virgin pre-
siding, and petitioned for an injunc-
ton to prevent the Maine Central from
running past without stopping to receive
passengers from the Boston and Maine
On Tuesday Judge Virgin issued tenn
porary injunction, and now contest at
law seems to be initiated. The Boston
and Maine claims that the Maine Contra
is bound by its charter and the laws of the
State to receive the passengers and freight
of the former at the place it has designat
ed in Portland, but the Maine Central OBJ
jects to using other than its present stop
ping places. In the meantime the East
ern road, which seems to be out of the
Hght, is reaping harvest in the increase
Of its business by the peculiar situation o.
the Boston and Maine. We presume the
Maine Central have not acted hastily il
this matter, although they have sent out
no plea for the public eye. 1t is ques
ton for the Judges to settle. unless it is
settled by the parties themselves through
some accommodation which may be mu-
tually satisfactory. We have known
fercer railroad disputes than this end in
the burying OF the Ratchet between the
contending parties by amicable arrange
ment. 1t is not impossible in this case
But the storm has been good while brew
ing. and it will scarcely pass off in da!
or without generous sprinkling of cpl
thets and clashing Of the lawyers. A
long rs the public is not put to expens
and Inconvenience there can be no grea
objections to the fight on the part of tn
spectators, but the usual consequence ii
such cases is, that after the war is owe
they are invited to pay the bills of costs
