A CURIOUS OPERATION.

A Washington special TO the Boston Adver
tiser says: 1t turns out that the clause in the
sundry civil appropriation bill providing fol
the reissue Of such denominations of the
national bank currency as have been counter
feited is identical in design with the legisla.
ton sought at the last Congress for re-en-
craving and re issuing the entire national
bank currency. The measure as then pre-
sented was clear in its terms and easily I'M
derstood. 1t was most persistently pusht
by large lobby, including all the influent Q
ofaths printing division of the Treasury, the
patent 1bre paper interest and bank mote ell
grsvep Gsserally. 1t was finally defeated by
q coedu1jys showing that the public interest
did not demand such legislation. This time the
object sought by oil interests named has been
reached BY he section, which concealed the
real purpose aimed ct, and created an impres.
sion by its language that it was only pro-
vision for protecting the national currency
against counterfeiting. The passage of the
involving the authority sought
was secured by attaching it to the bill in the
Senate, having it agreed to in conference, and
then keeping all knowledge of it from the
House, where it had been fully debated in the
last Congress and was understood. Its defeat
would have been certain had the matter been
called to the attention of the House. Inquiry
At the Treasury department renders it certain
that there 10 no such coupterfeitinp of the |
nauonal-bank currency as to call for such |
iie-issue, and the fact is that the first demon.

SHIPBUILDING.

The revival Of vesscl.building which
began few months ago increases in
strength At first it was feared that it
might be transient. leaving those who
were led by Ito undertake building in a
precarious condition. But confidence is
growing There are no builders who will
be idle the coming season if they can find
the means to carry on business. The
great rise in iron and the consequent in
creased cost of iron vessels, had the effect
to creates demand for wooden vessels
The difference in the expense Of the two
kinds became SO great that buyers turned
again to the latter, looking to the ship
yards Of the United States, instead of 10
those Of Scotland and England for sup
ply. Then came a rise in freights, bring
ing every vessel into active employment
at paying prices. The demand continues,
and probably will continue, since the de-
mand il far ahead of the means of supply,
and the consumption of iron increases as
rapidly as the growth of the manufacture.
The rise in freights also holds good The
vessels afloat are not sufficient to do the
carrying trade. The number has not kept
pace with the necessities of business.
There has been no encouragement to
build wooden ships in this country, and SO
cur tonnage has been reduced by age, use
and disaster, to q very small amount,
obliging shippers to pay high rates to Sc
cure transportation.
Then the question which has been so
long in dispute as 10 the relative merits of
wooden and iron vessels, seems to be
turning in favor of wood. Experience is
proving, that the claims made for iron
vessels are not we'll founded. The wood
en- vessel is now considered stronger,
safer, swifter, and delivers the cargo in
better condition than the iron one. Time
has made the test, and the result appears
to be as we have stated. This. practically
ends the competition between the rival
materials and places wood in the front,
with little fear of its being supplanted
again. There is good deal Of commo-
ton among iron builders at the turn
which things have taken, and efforts will
be made to counteract the unfavorable cir
cumstances in which they find themselves,
but it is doubtful if they can succeed in
restoring confidence in iron.
The wooden ship-builders have the field
TO themselves, This is the time TO inn
prove It, as they we'll understand We
shall probably have buster season in the
ship-yards Of Maine than since 1856, I'M
less builders are SO much crippled for
want of means that they cannot 60 into
the business. All along the coast the
notes of preparation have been sounded.
Next fall many new keel will kiss the
waters of the Atlantic from the ship-yards
Of Maine, and make our shore towns
smile again with prosperity.
