"If We wish TO Buy ships Let
us Buy Them,,

We copy these words from the speech
of Secretary Evarts at the New England
dinner. But justice is hardly done to the
neatness and epigrammatic force of his
sentence without quoting the whole of
it. off we wish to build ships, let lis
build them; if we wish to buv sbips LET
us buy them" Such language contem-
plates perfectly free trade IN ships. Sena-
tor Blaine, who spoke at the same dinner
was quick to catch its import, and apollo
gizing for controversy in a social repast.
ne made an argumentative reply to the
Secretary of State, advocating the per
manence OF our present navigation laws.
1t is easy to appreciate the advanced
point OF view of Mr.. Evarts. He desires
the extension of our foreign commerce
by the opening of new markets, and his
particular aim is the conquest for our
productions of the markets of South
America. Those markets naturally he
long to us by geographical proximity and
by the adaptation of our goods to the

SENATOR BAYARD AND THE PREsI

SENATOR BAYARD AND THE PREsI-
cy.-The New York Times yester-
day bad a letter from Wilmington, Del,
purporting to give an account of the
plans of Senator Bayard's friends TO se-
cure for him the democratic mination
for the presidency in 1880. IL is claimed
that he can secure the "solld South" to-
gether with fifty votes from the pivotal
hard-money States of the East, New
York, Connecticut and New jersey, and
that this will give him 1873 votes or three
more tnan majority of the electoral
college. The Times, in commenting
editorially upon this communication,
takes occasion to say of Mr.. Bayard that
che has been faithful among the faith
less found on the viiaI question of fl
nance, and the adoption of his name by
the democrats in 1880 would 20 far to-
ward taking the currency question out OF
politics, ana in the right way. For this
reason every fair-mindel friend of hon
est and safe money should be glad to see
him chosen. AS to the other questions
which would be brought TO the front by
his nomination, 1t is not to be denied
that these would, in all likelihood, turn
on the relations of the Southern people
| with the national oeernment.-Bat

In THE FOUR YEARS of Grants ad-
ministration, ex-Secretay of the Navy,
Robeson, expended $40, 600, enough
to have built over a hundred iron-clads
of the tlrst-c'ass, or two hundred first
class war steamers, and equipped the
same, had the money been properly used.
But we have now scarcely a single ship
that would rank as superior in the poI Is
of either Of the great powers of Europe.
How different is this state of affairs in
our navy from what it was under the
Democratic Presidents previous to 1860
Then the American Navy outranked, fol
efficiency aud the splendor of its few
steamships, all other nations in the
world. What would now be the fate Of
an American war steamer that shoulC
defy the nations of Turkey and Austri;
both, as Captain Dahlgreen did at Con
stantinople, when he demanded tina
Costa should be delivered up to him OF
board his ship in twenty-four hour
or suffer the penalty of shot aud shell
from the noble frigate he comman
ded and had drawn out in battle array
with shotted guns ready to max
good his word to take him from the Aus
trian vessel by force. Would Costa b
given up now, after the American Nav
had been sixteen years in the hands c

our brave captains would be laughed al

wants of South American Consumers
But our command of their markets de-
pends on the establishment of direct
communication between our ports and
theirs. Commercial correspondence with
South America is too circuitous and slow
when ii requires four transits across the
Atlantic namely, a passage to England
and thence to South America before a
letter can be delivered, and then pas
sage OF the answer to England and
thence to the United States before IL can
be received.
A merchant needs to have his hand
constantly on the pulse of the markets in
which he deals, otherwise he cannot, take
advantage of the ever varying ebbs and
tides of demand. When ii requires four
passages of the Atlantic to get an answer
to commercial letter opportunities for
shipping goods at profit are lost be-
fore our merchants can take advantage Of
them. And even ifthey could keep them
selves promptly informed of the state Of
the South American markets they would
be unable to ship their goods in season
without means Of direct and constant
transportation. it's, therefore, Of the first
importance to our conquest of the grow
ing commerce of South America that reg
ular lines OF steamships be established
between the United States and the
southern portion Of the continent.
This is the point Of view from which
Mr.. Evarts reasons on the question of
free ships. He regards it as of subordin-
ate consequence whether we build or buy
the ships for the establishment of South
American lines. The thing itself is Of
such overshadowing importance that the
question Of means Is Insignificant in COM
parison.

HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE GAZETTE,
the Democrats and a few sensible Re
publicans, our public schools would now
have been spotted with negroes from one
end of the city TO the other and most
probably have been abandoned and de-
graded, instead of being the greatest
boast OF all our public institutions. There
are few white mothers in the city that
did no, dread the association of her chill
dren in the public schools with negroes,
and none knew this better than the edi-
tor of the Republican, if he told the
truth few years ago when he was then
himself an advocate for equality, as he
is still. In the Howard School, In this
city, there are now male negroes being
educated in the first rudiments, from eight
years of age to twenty-five, or there was
few years ago; and this, too, at the eX-
pense of the white taxables, as the real
estate of negroes in this city was moi
td1ed for any purpose.
