The statement Of the Inter- Ocean that Curtis
was threatened by mobs in vicksburg because
ne told the truth" is . bald, absurd Mlsehood.
No one here had seen his letters from New Or
leans, and his letters from this place did not re-
turn here until alter he left the city, and hence
no one knew whether he had stold the truth" or
uttered falsehood. When win Radical Journals
cease to utter such silly and preposteyous les?

'Gdv VIM. P. Kellogg:
Eir-Your communication of October 9th.
referring to citizens naturalized in the Second
District Court, received.
am instructed by the Executive Commit
tee of the Democratic and Conservative party
to say that we did not for a moment suppose
that you would have dared to accept the con-
sequences Of having stricken from the regis
7zation the names of citizens because they
SEere naturalized by the Second District
Court as your own election law forbids, I'M
s&ef severe penalties, the exercise Of such arbi-
0afy powers. We construed the effect OF
5lhe opinion of your Attorney General to be
st those votes would be separately chal-
sanged at the polls and in order to avoid the
LAY Of even such an illegal proceeding on
ection day, we assented that, if you chose,
ey would be considered as challenged by
nr party by the fact Of their being deposited
proposed, the mode Of depositing the vote
bcting only the question Of challenge.
Your communication, therefore, seeks to
xest the question of challenge with the
Raxity of protest in behalf of the law officers
n the State, and an unwarranted discrimina-
- between naturalized and native citizens,
i0eninss which we formally protest.
From the fact that you ignore the under
nnding of this committee as regards both
fsopositions referred to il our communica
Ion of October 26, 1874, we beg to invite
Sour attention to ours of October Is and 26.
1874, distinctly placing around this question
I3egal guards to protect the sanctity of the
votes referred to. Your communications

'uasC III hii NuIopo tuefe are at present 14Z
iron-clads fit to be placed in line of battle.
OF these England owns 3S; France, 2S; Aus
tria, Russia, Italy and Turkey, Is each; Ger
many, 8; Spain, Z; Denmark, 3, and Greece,
2. The tonnage Of the German ships, and
the size of their guns are, however, SO uncom-
monty great, that, although few in number.
they are supposed to be more than match
for any foreign navy, those of England, Rus.
STA and France excepted. Besides these there
are 103 iron-cased vessels to be found in Eu-
rope for coast defense. Of this number Ger
mary has q; Spain, Norway and Denmark, 3;
Turkey, 5; Sweden, g.; Russia, Is; Holland,
IS; England, %, and France, 30.
-Four hundred and thirty-one screw frigates
and corvettes make up the wooden array of
European strength at sea. Here, again, Eng
land, with 1872 vessels, $3.50 guns and SO, 700
horsepower, has the first place. France, the
second on the list, records only SO; Russia 48,
Turkv A, Spain 81, Holland g. Italy "a,
Germany II, Denmark 16, Austria IA, Portu-
gal 8, Sweden 5, Norway S. Greece 2. Smaller
craft, such as avisos, gunboats, etc., of which
England alone has 176, with 800 guns and 49,
284 horsepower, are not reckoned in this
calculation. If England were to man her
navy for war she would require 6, 900 men,
whom $4,000 would have to be enlisted for
the purpose. Russia, for the like object,
wants $4,000, France $3.50, Turkey 1900.
Spain $4,000, Germany $4,000 (every one kept
in readiness>, Austria 1850, Italy II, 200,
Holland 626O, Denmark 1900, Norway $500,
Portugal $500, Sweden about 5000.
Comparing the total of the German crews
with those of the other States we find it ex
ceeded by England, Russia, France, Turkey
and Spain. Spain does not count, so much of
her forces existing only on paper; nor can
Turkeys numbers be relied upon, she being
to great extent dependent upon her foreign
help for the effective manning and officer 40
of her ships. Hence the German navy is in
reality inferior only to the British, Russian
and French; and even this statement requires
to be qualified, German vessels being much
more sparing!y manned than either the Rus
sian or the French, and 13 900 German sailors
being accordingly not SO very much below the
strength of $4,000 Russians or SO, $40 French
men as the figures would seem to indicate.
