The ''City OF Rome"

They are building the largest and
finest merchant vessel in the world for
the lnman Line, over at Barrow, Eng
land, When finished, probably in the
spring of 1881, she will ply regularly
between New York and Liverpool. She
will be called the City of Rome, and
will measure as follows: Length of
keel, SAG feet; length over all, $50 feet
breadth of beam, 81 feet; depth of hold
SO feet inches, and depth from top of
deck-houses to keel, 50 feet, $500 tons.
or over 1000 tons larger than either
the City of Berlin or the Arizona, and
800 tons larger than the Servia, the
new Cunard steamship. She will be
over four-fifths Of the size of the Great
Eastern. The engines will be of $500
horse power, with six cylinders, three
high pressure. There will be- eight
boilers, heated by As furnaces, and the
rate can BIZ Isl knots an hour. She
will carry four large masts, and three
sLoke tunnels. A large spread of can
vass will enable the steamship to make
good time, if necessary, without the
aid Of the engines. In the luxuriously-
fitted up saloon and stateroom amid
ships will be splendid furniture and
upholstery. There can be 300 first
class passengers, and the ladies' draw
ing-room, on the deck over the saloon
will accommodate 100. Above this, the
smoking-room, will also accommodate
100 persons. There will be six bath
rooms in the saloons, and the revolving
chairs at the tables will be 275 in mum.
Der. The steerage and freight accom-
modations will be equally enormous.
The vessel is built of steel, with eleven
bulkheads and double bottom. Two
bulkheads through the
engine and boiler spaces will greatly
decrease the danger in case Of COLLISION. |
The City of Rome will have the high
sst classification of any in the Liverpool |
Red book In the British Lloyds.

Two Oh THREE evenings ago a street
lamp was taken from the thickly pop
ulated parts of the city and was taken
out in the neighborhood of Senator
Bayard's residence on Clayton street.
The thief must have been of the intel
ligent kind and had desire to enable
the Senator to hunt up his resolution
to retire the legal tenders, or it might
have been to enable the Senator to have
q better view from his exalted resi-
dence Of the forty thousand disfran-
chised voters thai lie spread out right

before him. We hope the Senator will
take the hint and look after his dis
franohised subjects especially.
Projected Railroads.

1t is estimated that over 1000 miles o.
railroad will be constructed the present
year. Such great extension ofrailroads
will cause great d.mand for iron Is
we'll as labor, and We may therefore
look for still further advance in the
price Of almost every article ofnecessity
in our country. As q result business
will be good, aad every branch Of trade
will prove remunerative. Real estate
will also advance in price, and the
Sheriff will have mnch less to do than
in the past decade. Those who have
capital to invest should invest at an
early date If they wish to secure bar
gains, and not wait till the prices ad-
vance still further. The country is
bound to prosper, despite the tricks of
petty politicians, and it is astonishing
that so many men acted a few years ago
as though they believed that it was
finished.
Our city is destined to grow as great
ly in the coming decade as it has done
in the past, and the price of building
lots,in eligible locations, must advance.
Furnaces, machine shops and factories
will be built as well as many dwell
lings AMI our present limits will bs
greatly extended.
Wharves will be constructed on the
Delaware and railroads leading to the
same will be laid, as we'll as through
various streets. The circulation of the
REPUBLICAN will be doubled if not quad
rupled, and we shall be under the ne
,essity of procuring Bullock press that
will print 20, 900 in an hour, in order to
supply the demand. The future Is
bright with promise, and only the most
erribls Vaccinations of Democratic,
can check the onward course
# the country to greatness.

WE ARE INFORMED that the tax col.
lectors, Messrs. Carpenter and Bedford,
will be at their office 6O2k Market street,
up stairs every evening from seven to
nine o'clock to receive taxes from all
who may come forward to pay them.
This affords good opportunity for
those engaged during the day to pay
their taxes in the evening without los
ing time from their labor. During the
day the collectors are generally out
calling upon the real estate owners for
their taxes and cannot with any GER
tainity be found in their office. They
are there every evening however as we
have stated. All who have not paid
their taxes, be sure and give them a
call.

Mrs. Grant is quoted as having said
that the happiest period Of her life and
the Generals was when they lived in
Galena Sin small brick house and
kept one servant" The correspondent
of "The Syracuse Journal" who quotes
this, gives also pleasant little picture
of Mrs. Stewart, the wife of the ex-Sen-
ator, who at one time was cheerfully
turning her kindly hand to household
duties in her husbands mining shanty
on the Pacific coast, and not many
years after was ordering and purchas-
ing in Europe the beautiful pictures
and stationary and carpets and hang
ings which gave such charm to her
Washington home.

Names Military Governor.

The deadlock in the Maine Legisla
ture continues, no quorum Of members
ever having appeared in the House fol
the transaction OF business. Governor
Garcelon's term of Office has expired,
and the Legislature being unable to
elect one, the President of the bogus
Senate becomes the acting Governor,
but that officer, knowing that he has
no right to the office, is afraid to take
he responsibility, and hence in order
to prevent anarchy and confusion aris-
ing, General Chamberlain, commander
Of the military forces of the State, has
proclaimed himself military Governor,
and has taken charge of affairs until
Governor is elected in a constitutional
manner. 1t is a good omen that General
Chamberlain, as soon as he assumed
the reins of power, sent the arms that
had been brought from Bangor to tse
State capital, back to the arsenal, and
the police with which the State House
had been filed by Garcelon have been
removed and others appointed to take
their places which were apt to asst more
in accord with the feelings of the mill
tary Governor. General Chamberlain |
is pure, high-minded: brave and hon
orable citizen and soldier of Maine,
whom all the people know and honor.
The same devotion OF public duty that
carried him through the storm Of the
rebellion and brought him home Gov
.red with honorable wounds, guides
lim now as he boldly interposes his
authority to keep the
public peace, to guard the public prop
,rty and to force upon the Democratic
of Maine an appeal to the
avs upon which they are trampling in
ude disregard Of every form of out. ,
Yard decency. The Democratic conspi
acy is as fragrant a rebellion against
institutional authority as that Of his
'arty in 1851, and the same high pa .
riotism that called men like General
to the front then calls
hem now, and it is creditable to the
eople of Maine that they respond to
is call now as they did then. In a
of anarchy such as Garcelon :
nd his Fusionist fellow-conspirators r
ave precipitated upon the State of

Stockton tUal.) Independent.
i The Democracy have indeed reasons
to be proud Of their candidate. Gen
Hancock is real specimen of an Amer
lean aristocrst, who Affects 10 despis,
everybody and everything that he i'm
agines Just few degrees below him IN
the SOCIAL scale. The following illustra
ton told by an old resident OF Stockton
and a we'll known citizen, admirably
describes the sort OF man Hancock Is,
In 1883 General, then Captain Han
cock, was q first class passenger for
the Pacific Coast on the steamer ''Bt.
Louis" Capt. MCGOWAN, which left
New York on the 9th Of April Of that
year. Among the other passengers
were Sen. Joe Lane, of Oregon, Judge
Crane and Lieut.. Mullen, who came
out in charge OF a corps Of engineers to
lay down q wagon road from Walla
Walla to Fort Benton. The citizen Of
Stockton referred &c was Q seoond-class
passenger on the same steamer. s
Soon after the "St. Louis" left New
York, Capt. Hancock complained to
Capt. MoGowan that the second.class
passengers were encroaohing between
the wind and his nobility. He asked
Capt. Mc9owan to have line drawn
across the deck beyond which the SEQ
Dad class passengers should not be al
lowed to pass. Capt. McGowan re-
fused to comply with the request,
using language which conveyed his
feelings upon the un.American senu-
msnts which prompted 1t. Captain
Hancock was obliged to accept the
shippers ultimatum, but with true
military, aristocratio snobbishness
said he would have things fixed diff
fsrently on the Pacific side. The sec
ond class passengers got hold Of Capt.
aanoock's application, and when the
future Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent appeared on deck, he would hear
around him frequently repeated the
magic words ''draw line" and he be-
came known on board the steamer to
the mud sills as "Drsw.a.l line Hancock
The steamer on the Pacific aide was
the ~. i. Stephens" Capt. Whiting.
To him Capt, Hancock repeated bis re.
guest, and Capt. Whiting properly In.
formed the epRulettsd martinez that II
no did not choose to walk the dsok-
with second class passengers he must
remain In his statsroom, and Hancock
took the Captains advice lest he should
receive contagion from such close oon
tact with the common people. And the
Democracy have nominated Draw.a,
line Hancock for the Presidency under
the delusion that such Aan can re-
ceive the support Of the sovereign people
of the United Statas, second class pas
sengers and all. The foregoing, which
can be verified by FIVE or six residents
Of San JOsquin County, who we're pas
sengers by the steamer, Just shows
what sort Of man the Democracy has
nominated. "Drsw-a line Hancock,"
yes, the voters will draw line in No.

can aristecrats Of whom he is such 3

three years Of my life In the city Of

IT the werkingmen OF the north could

their Brother Workmen in the South.
II Is 81 vital interest to the Working.

II the workiugmen Of Wilmington
would contrast the condition of ths
workingmsn Of Richmond, Va, with
their own they would realizs how much
they are indebted to the Republicans
even though they vote against them.
In Richmond they have water enough
to move all the machinery in the city
Of Wilmington, but with the exception
Of one or two one horse rolling mills,
that the mechanics of Wilmington
would not work in, all the water power
of the James Is lost. The unadultera-
ted Democrats have no use for mills
and factories. They give their atten.
ton to politics and invest their money
In faro banks. drinking saloons and
distilleries, and the poor man may pick
up 3 living the best he can and feed
his children on corn bread and herring. |

are not satisfied with making the me-
gro equal, but they give the preference
10 the eolored people in every thing,
and VIXEN work is scarce very few
white men can get work as the colored
