The LARGEST STEEL-CLAD SHIP AFLoAT. - We
have been favored with the following account of
the 8 Italia" which is taken from a private letter
from Commander G. P. Giustini, under date Naples
30th September ult:
The Italia the construction of which was begun
in 1876 was launched on 29th September 1880.
She is an iron or steel ship of the following
dimensions. Length liz metres, (368 feet)
Width %. 48 metres. (Sl feet); Depth Is metres
Gao feet); Average draught S.49 metres (2s feet);
Tonnage, I3. $50 tons. The hull is double-built on
the mural system. and divided by longitudinal.
and cross iron plates into So water tight cOmpart-
meuts, which are also subdivided in their height by
four water bridges, viz LIST Tortoise-back shaped
steel clad, situated at $50 metres below the float
ing line End another strong steel clad bridge,
situated at LIE metres above the floating line
3rd u battery bridge, at $50 metres above the
water line; 4th the uncovered bridge or deck, $50
metres high above the water line.
Between the two armored bridges, the sides of the
ship are protected by a vertical armor made of the
strongest plates existing, and several compartments
ship in case of damage.
The thickness and quantity of the plates are not
yet fixed.
On the deck or the centre OF the ship, an oval
shelter rises, whose larger axis forms with the
longitudinal axis of the ship, an angle of about
800. Its parapet 2 metres e feet 7 inches) high
is strongly clad. On its two extremities, two cir
cular gigantic plates are established. over which
two guns of As (l74 inches) bore, and
weighing 100 tons each, will be placed. These
will fire ala barbetta that is, above the parapet.
This system. altered from that of the turning and
covered towers Of the Duilio and Dandalo, is in
tended to save weight, while on the other hand
the height of the parapet is enough to protect gun
ners from direct fire. Besides the foHr gigantic
guns. she will also carry on her deck several OF II
more moderate weight without reckoning the light
artillery and mitraillruse.
The ship is moved by two twin screws, acting
each by an independent engine OF 6 cylinders
with Il total of 26 boilers. Her total power is 10
be 9 900 horse, and her speed 16 miles.
This ship is the largest now existing. or in con-
struction in our country or abroad, except the
LepantO now building at Leghorn on the same
model. and which is nearly finished.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

Edward Mcpherson, a former Clerk
of the House of Representatives, anG
eSpectant of the same position in thu
next House, is perhaps as well quail
fled as any other man to correctly
state what will he the political status
of that body after the 4th of March
next. He has been carefully investi.
eating the subject, and as a result
claims that there will be III Republi-
cans and 6 Greenback Republicans,
while the Democrats have total OF
l35 straight votes, 3 Greenbackers and
= Readiusters, making the total of full
membership 293, of which l47 is a ma
jority. Three of the Greenback Re-
publicans elected in Missouri are
understood to be pledged to vote with
the Republicans i'm the organization of
the House. 1t is said that the Green
hackers, however, will run their can
didate for Speaker ut the organization,
rs they did when The present Congress
convened.
With such an equal division of the
forces-carrying an apparent majority
of only one vote, the chances of disap-
pcintment are numerous, though the
opinion seems to be quite general that
the Republicans will elect the Speaker
and thus control the House and its en-
tire organization. The Democrats
seem to confirm this view of the situa-
ton, for they appear to be utterly dis

THE DOWNFALL OF JOHN KELLEY.

THAT combination did it? 1t was
the combination of the Republican al
dermen with the anti-Tammany Dem
ocratic aldermen of the city of New
York. By this combination John
Kelley-pronounced by the New York
Herald as "vile boss" as Tweed-lost
the position fcity comptroller, and Al.
len Campbell, was elected in his place.
This is a great victory for the political
enemies of Kelley. Ithad been expect.
ed that he would be able to prevent the
confirmation of any successor nOmin-
ated bv Mayor Cooper, whose term of
office expires Jan. LIST, and that Mayor
elect Grace would reappoint Kelley.
The Kelley organ, the Evening En-
press, gives the Tammany aldermen
five who voted with the opposition,
tremedous broadside, which con-
cludes with these words:
You have betrayed your trust, repu-
dated your professions, turned trait
Ors to the people who elected you and
slandered yourselves as utterly with
out principle, honor or manliness.
You have sold yourselves cheap, very
cheap, for the disgrace and infamy of
your conduct will stick to your names
while you live, and will attach to your
children. A grave was dug for you.
You lay down in it. There is no res
direction for men who have damned
themselves. The parties whose abject
tool you willingly became, will not
trust you and have no further use for
you. All honest men despise you.
Judas went out and hanged himself
after he had received his thirty pieces
of silver. You need not hang your
selves, as you are already worse than
gibbeted. The brand set on Cain was
harder to carry than death. Live and
enjoy the price of your treason If you
can. But if you live to the age of Me-
you will never Outlive the
crime of which you yesterday convict
ed yourselves. Go!
1t was Kelley's time to laugh when
he laid out Samuel J. Tilden. Now
it's Tilden's laugh, and undoubtedly
he is rolling in mirth. Republicans,
meanwhile, believe that when thieves
iall out honest men get their dues. A
split Democracy in New York has
