The Doom OF The Sailing Ship.

The New York Bulletin quotes some
curious figures to illustrate how rapidly
the sailing ship is being urivn from the
ocean by the steamer. 1t takes the case
of the trade of Buenos Ayres and the
River Plate, the figures being derived
from a Buenos Ayres journal. The
mail from Europe used TO be brought TO
Montevideo in British brig-of-war
making the voyage in sixty days, while
the passenger traffic was carried on chief
ly in three-masted schooners. "Now,
there are between two and three hun
dred steamers and upwards of five hun
dred sailing vessels engaged in the trade.
The latter, however, are rapidly coming
into disuse, while the steamers are mul.
tiplying with even more marked rapid.
ity." In 1870 there were in this trade
l04 steamers with tonnage of IA, 4,252
tons, and 1,14e sailing vessels, tonnage
4S1 ,566 tons. In 1873 the steamers were
PA, of S62,542 tons, and sailing vessels
79l, tonnage 573.l76.
The Buenos Ayres paper says, more.
over, that this great revolution IN trade
has been carried out to the immense ad
vantage of that country "without the
government having expended dollar
on the contrary, the steamers have car
ried the mails for nothing, thus coutribu
ting to swell the postoilice returns. Sucl
a statement as this must be rather dam
aging to the logic Of those who believe
or make out, with, Mr.. John Roach, tina
heavy subsidies to steamship lines mus
be given before commerce Will begin tc
flow along new channels.

EDITOR DELAWARE GAZETTE:

Sir-It is reported to me that Mr..
Dean, on the floor Of the House OF kep-.
resentatives, in the debate on .he railroad
commissioners bill, stated "that the let
ter published here Dover) and reported
as having come from Mr.. G. f. Adams,
Jr., was not his full letter, but was a gar
bled statement, gotten upto induce mem-
bers TO vote for the bill"
Also from another source which passes
as well-informed and undoubtedly OBJ
tains publicity, the statement has been
made publicly "that MI. c. F. Adams,
Jr., had written me a letter stating that
railroad commissioners had been fall
ure wherever tried"
l did not publish the letter Of Feb
2Sth as full letter, as the enclosed (to
you) printed copy shows by the use OF
asterisks. There was some doubt as to
exact reading Of the omitted portion, and
when having il printed would have had
to supply some undeciphered words. l
however, knew the sense Of il, and having
read all of Mr.. Adams works onrailIoadi
and portions OF "Railroads and theil
Problems" many times, (besides many
other documents pertaining to the sub
ject,) believing that the publish so mucl
of the parts OF his letters which dwelt Sc
strongly upon the personal selection o
the commissioner would be unfair, a
giving the adroit opponents ground to at
tempt to confuse the judgment of thu
Legislature who had not read so fully tn,
information and had officially no concern
with said selection.
The substance of the omission was tina
the organization of the Board was all i'm
por.ant, and that as a rule failures ha,
resulted from this cause--a matter il
case the law had passed very proper anC
pertinent to place before Governor Hall
as the appointing power is his. l asser
that / have never seen one sentence II
Mr.. Adams writings which would likel,
to be construed as against the passase o
a law for the appointment OF such com
mission as proposed The letters, other
wise the omitted portions of one, wer,
printed from the originals. Anything
which may be said contrary to this state
ment is utterly untrue.
| l will hand over the original letters :,
either of said two gentlemen who frs
reads Adams book, "Railroads and thei
Origin and Problems" They then maj
know more about railroad commission
than at present. w. q.

THE order" TO THE ARMY BILL
1t is well that the people should clearly
and fully understand the question that has
been discussed In the House of Represen-
tatives during the past two weeks with
so much force and eloquence on both
sides. As we have not the space TO pab-
lish the speeches in full, and have to
depend upon the telegraphic summary,
and as many very intelligent voters dc
not gather the exact difference between
the two parties therefrom, we copy below
the precise change which the Democrat:
are determined to make in the law. II
is in the 9th section Of the bill and read.
as follows
SEC. 6. That sectioH 2002 of the Re
ysed Statutes be amended so as to reac
as follows:
"No military or naval officer or othel
person engaged in the civil, military, o.
naval service of the United States shall
order, bring, keep or have under his au
thority or control any troops or armed
men at the place where any general ol
special election is held in any State, un
less it be necessary to repel the armec
enemies of the United States"
And that section 552S OF tho Revised
Statutes be amended 30 as to read as fol
lows:
'Every officer of the Army or Navy, oil
other person in the civil, military, OIL
naval service of the United States, who
orders, brings, keeps, or has under his
authority or control any troops or armed
men at any place where general OF
special election 10 held in any State cnless
such force be necessary TO repel armed en-
emes of the United States, shall be fined
not more than 5000, and suiler impiis-
onment at hard labor not less than three
mouths por more than five years"
The law OF England does not permit
soldiers 10 be brought within two or more
miles Of any election polls on the day OF
an election for members Of Parliament
Soldiers were not permitted TO come neal
the polls under any other political party
but the Radicals since this government
was formed. That party used them te
keep themselves in power and they meal
to do it again at the risk of bloodshet
and anarchy if the law is not repealed
The Democrats only desire to go back to
the usage of constitutional authority
before the rebellion, under which th'
government existed for three-fourths OF {
century in the hands of the Democrats
and was termed by the Radicals "th'
best government the world ever saw
Ii the Radicals do not mean to make us
Of the army at the elections, why do the
oppose the passage Of the bill ? If MI
Hayes does not wish to use the army
why should he veto the bill

The QUESTION involved in the ssrider'
TO the Army bill is simply whether a
United States Marshal shall be allowed
TO call te his assistance at an election poll
the soldiers of the United States. If this
is permitted any drunken rough may be
sent to the polls to create a riot and thus
an excuse made for bringing armed
troops (whether negroes or whites,) to
the polls to preserve the peace. The
Democrats maintain that it is the duty of
the State, county and municipal officers
TO maintain the peace and that the Uni
ted States Marshals ought not to be en-
trusted with any power to interfere with
elections. If this is permitted it will be
III the power of the President or the Gene
raj to station a regiment in this or auy
other State to overawe the elections or
10 prevent fair and free expression
Where the vote is close such an action
might influence the result upon which
the choice of President rested. On seve.

THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL
passed the House of Representatives on
Saturday with the "rider" by vote Of
l22 to l4S, the Democrats showing ma
jority Of 2G, which is about 20 majority
more than the Republicans expected to
find against them. They Will find in this
case that "revolutionsn do go backw ards,
and that the revolutionary process by
which the elections have been carried fol
the last fifteen years will be repealed
and the system Of free elections that til,
country enjoyed for seventy or eighty
years previous TO 1862 will be restored a.

plish it.

MURDER The horrld murder of a
poor old black man Oh Saturday night by
a crowd Of young, drunken and disor-
derly roughs is one of the resulting
crimes OF the sale of whskey in the dram
shops on the marsh and along the cause
way. 1t is to be regretted that such
places are allowed to exist in the oity,
and especially along great public high
way to the city like that. To be sure
liquor will be had, and it is said, has
been had and drunk in the negro houses
along that street as well as at other
houses. But it appears that this crowd
of roughs got their liquor at shops kept
by whites. This is an awful crime it
is the second murder that has been CON-
mitted on that causeway within two
years. Let the punishment be swift and
severe.
