The Coming war Ship.

Professor Doewenthal, a German,
thinks the coming war ship will be
built of india-rubber. His idea is to
make the entire hull of rubber, one
foot in thickness, strengthened below
water line by light steel frame. The
vessel will be driven by an ordinary
steam engine an have no masts. The
crew will be on a lower deck out of
the range of shot. When cannon
ball strikes the india rubber ship, it
will pass directly through it above the
heads of the crew, and the hole made
by it will Immediately close. The
method of attack of this ship will be
by torpedoes only. The doomed ship
will imme 1iately sink, while her de-
stroyer will he merely driven some
hundred yards backward by the re-
coil following the explosion. The in.
ventor considers such a vessel could
destroy all the navies in the world,
and after her work was done, could
be made as perfect as ever with the
aid of few boxes of cement. There
is an elasticity about this mans mind
that would suggest his brain must be
made OF the same material he now
proposes for ship of war.

The Leonard Scott Publishing Co.,
Al Barclay Street, n. Y, have lately
issued their reprints of the Edinburg
and Westminster Reviews fer April.
The general character of these famous
quarterlies is we'll known, and both in
the selection of subjects and in the
manner of treating them it is well sus-
tained in the present numbers.
In the Edinburg we particularly
note the article on "Ritualistic Litera-
ture," in which the writer aims to
make manifest.tha the doctrines and
practices of the Ritualists are alien
from the spirit of Professionalism.
Bigelow's life of Benjamin Franklin
is favOrably reviewed. and Mr.. Bige-
low is commended for presenting
Franklin's autobiography in the exact
shape in which it issued from the au.
thor's memory. There is an interes-
ting article on "Mohammedanism in
China" indicating the possibility of
the conversion of the people Of China
to the creed of Mohammed. Other
notable articles are "Catholic Rule in
ireland, 1641-4S." Modern Horse
Racing. ""The late Professor Cliffords
Essays" an "Burton's Reign of
QL"en Anne"
AHiong the articles in the West
minister we are attracted by "Artistie
Copyright" which is devoted to the
consideration Of the meaning.of copy
right and the purpose for which it
was established; "1'he Greek Huma-
nists-Nature and Law" supplement
tary to an article in a former num-
Der on the progress of physical philos-
ophy among the ancient Greeks, and
showing how the neral, religious, and
political creeds of Hellas were trans
formed by reason of the lev concep-
tions, the new power to think, obtain
ed through philosophical speculauons;
and an article on Animal Intelli-
genee," in which is discussed the prob
lem whether the lower animals, in
sharing with man vitality and all its
accompaniments of pain, disease and
death. do not also share with him that
indefinable quality or essence denOmi-
mated mind. The usual summary Of

A handful of Greenbackers held a
state convention in Nashville last Sat
urday and nominated Col. r. NJ. Ed
wards for Go7ernor. 1t will be re-
membered that he was their candidate
at the last election. In regard to the
state debt they adopted the following;
Believing that the railroad bonds
were issued without authority of law;
that they were paid over to railroad
companies in violation of the condi-
tions governing their issuance; that
the debt III law and i'll equity is II rail
road debt. which the railroads alone
should pay; therefore, with these views
as to the nature and validity of the
debt, we oppose any measure whatev-
er looking to the payment Of the same
in whole or in any amount whatever,
principal or interest.
!. That neither the State of Ten
nessee nor lis citizens are bound in law
or morals to pay the bonds issued in
aid of the railroads, amounting to
S25, 900, 900, and that such bonds are
no part of the State debt.
2. ! hat We are opposed to scaling
the railroad bonds and to any other
act recognizing them, because the peo'
pie of Tennessee do not owe them.
8. That the railroad companies have
persistently disregarded the law under
which the bonds were issued and have
no grounds of equity to ask the peO>
pie to aid them, by taxation, TO pay
for the property and franchises of cor
porations controlled for private bene-
fit and gain.
4. That the State debt proper
should be paid, but, there may be no
misapprehension what the State debt
is, we adopt the description of it fIom
the report of S. W. Hatchett, the
State Comptroller, made in October,
1865, and substantially adhered to
by his successors, and which at pres
ent embraces the following items, to-
wit:

The so-called Low Tax Men seem
to be determined to divide the Demo-
cratic party in our convention, which
is called to appoint delegates to the
National Democratic Convention. We
deprecate. such a movement. We
would like to know what passible con-
necti IN there is between the State debt
of Tennessee and National politics!
But, if the issue has to be met, and
nothing else will do Savage and his
gang, we hereby announce that we
have deliberately made up our mind
to vote for a state-credit Republican
rather than a reputation Democrat.
And we are not alone, by many thou
sands, in our position. We prefer that
this issue should not be raised in the
Convention, because we are for mar
mony, all along the line, and would
hate to see the tennessee Democracy
divided and the state thereby given to
the Republican party. We claim to
be behind none in our devotion to the
Democratic creed and platform of po-
litical principles, but, # Democracy

pie had to suffer there could bs very
littleS sympathy with iron manufac'
tursrs, who have fsrsed che price Of iron
to about double what it was eight OF

thought strange that some English and
Scotch interlopsrs, who were iron man
ufaoturers should accept the oppor-
tunity and ship ever several hundred
thousand tens, and even after paying
the big duties sell it here far below
what our American iron manufacturers
were selling for. It is rather humilia
ting to those who have mads corner
in iren to have to cene dewA with a
rush twenty or twenty-five per cent.
But for this interference these manu-
facturers might have kept on and up
until iron would have reached values
far beyond the reach Of reason. We
are glad thOre is point beyond which

Every industry shsuld be fossersd so
