The New stone Dry Dock at Mare Island
Visit of the Secretary OF The Navy.

VALLEJO, July 29th-This afternoon the
Secretary of the Navy, in company with
Commodore Calhoun, Captain johnson and
civil engineer Calvin Brown, paid visit to
the new stone dry dock at the navy yard.
The visit was not for the purpose of making
a rigid inspection of the same, as future
day will be devoted to that purpose. From
casual observation, the Secretary was much
pleased with the work, and could readily see
the necessity of completing the structure as
soon Is possible, and will undoubtedly recon-
mend that sufficient appropriation be made
for that purpose. When complete, the dock
will be one of the largest and finest in the
world, and will reflect great credit on the
originator, civil engineer Calvin Brown, U.
S. N, who has had entire supervision of the
work since its conception. The dock will
have many features from plans of other
stone docks, and also number of entirely
new designs-Mr. Browns ideas. Had a
sufficient amount of money been appro-
priated, the work would have been finished
and ready for the dockage of vessels long ago.
While in the excavation the Secretary APP
peared interested in the manner in which the
work was being prosecuted. One or two
granite blocks were placed in position in his
presence. An examination of the model in
the civil engineers office was made, and other
points of interest inn aad bout the dock visited.

Suicide at San Jose.
SAN JOSH, July 29th.-0n Tuesday last
man named B. G.. Jones, aged about 90
years, called at the Pacific Hotel, and after
registering was assigned a room. He was
seen around the hotel on and off Wednesday,
appeared to be acting strangely, said he
wanted to kill somebody, and that he thought
he was crazy. Yesterday about noon the
chambermaid found his door locked and no.
tilted the barkeeper, who upon entering found
Jones sitting in chair dead. An empty
vial of laudanum and notes in his
pocket gave information that he died
by his own hand. Deceased is an old resi-
dent of California, and resided in Sacramento
in early days. Last season he worked on A.
E. Poneroys almond ranch, near Los Ca
tos. He called at a store on First street on
Wednesday, and inquired for the proprietor,
who was one of his best friends. The latter
was not in, and he told the clerk that he
came there to kill him. 1t is believed that
he suiclded while laboring under a temporary
fit of insanity, superinduced by excessive use
of liquor. An inquest will be held tomorrow.

Dsqeneraey or Progression.

It is an established principle in
moral and physical science, that a
state of absolute rest is an impossi-
bility; that there exists in the ma
terial and moral creation a constant
condition Of progression or degene-
Sacy.
States continue to advance to-
wards an improved and higher civil
fzatien, or retregrade in the direc.
tion Of misruIe and barbarism.
At neperiod in the history of Lou
isiana has there been a more favora-
BILE opportunity than the present to
obtain by legislation for this State,
rapid increase in the elements which
constitute the material advantages
of a progressive civilization.
The prostration of the manufac-
turing and commercial industries of
England and Europe will necessari-
y compel a great exodus of capital
and labor from those countries
which will seek the most desirable
localities in the United States for
profitable employment.
The facilities for manufacturing
are 30 greatly superior in this coun-
try, that it is now most profitable to
manufacture the crude material here
and export wares and merchandise
for sale in the foreign markets.
There is q tide IN the affairs of
States as we'll as Of men, which.

Of Louisiana by means of judieious

With these established, immigra

The Indian Territory.
boston Post.l

Boston Post
For long period the large tract
of country coded to the Indians has
been the special object at which the
greed ofspeculators has been aimed,
against which the power of the Gov
ernment has thus far proved effica-
cious. But it has required the ut
most vigilance, and the determine
ton evidently is to compel the Gov
eminent to yield to the demand of
outside spectators. The tract of
territory is said to be the best for
agricultural purposes on the CONT
nent. Its area is $4,000 square miles
situated south of Kansas, and con
stitutes block between that State
and Texas. 1t was set apart for the
specific home and uses of peaceful
tribes, and has we'll answered the
purposes contemplated by both par
ties. Some of the Indians till the
soil, raise horses and cattle, and are
nearer civilization in all particulars
than those found elsewhere. If these
savages are capable of being ciyiliz-
ed no better opportunity therefor
can be found, and whether so or not
the Government is bound to resist
at all points the spirit of encroach.
ment which in variety of forms is
directed adversely against them
One method of dispossessing them
of their patrimony, is the erection
OF a territorial government, for which
there is not the slightest pretext out
side the determination to get hold Of
the land for speculative purposes
Another plan is to convince the pub
lie that railroad and business enter
prise should have access through
the territory, and that mere senti-
ment should not stand in their way.
But there is something besides sen
timent involved in this matter
Good faith demands the full obser-
vance of treaty obligations with
even greater rigor than if we were
dealing with foreign power. Sec
rotary Shurz well understands all
the schemes of spectators, has re-
peatedly called attention to the ne
cessity OF constant vigilance, and
has enjoined the most energetic en-
ergetic enforcement of all laws for
preventing a steal of this Indian
territory. He merits commentator
| for it. i.

Concerning Newspapers.

City Review have recently adopted
the "patent outside" plan, and are
much improved thereby. Many
other country papers in this State
could be greatly improved by follow
ing their example, and thus, while
furnishing their readers with a more
interesting paper, discard the suici-
dial policy of filing up their columns
with foreign advertisements at one
fourth or one-eight the price they
charge home advertisers-a policy
alike injurious, not to say ruinous,
to themselves and to the entire press
of the country parishes. Some OF
our exchanges have whole pages OF
foreign advertisements, for which
they have doubtless received almost
nothing. if we may judge from the
numberless propositions which we
receive) many of which have long
since "run OUT" and yet they are
kept in to GILL up"-the ruinous bus
mess they are carrying on not afford
ing them the means of having these
columns filed with fresh and inter
esting matter. Reduce the size of
your papers, gentlemen; or, if you
wish to preserve your present form;
get patent inside or outside and
reduce your available space by that
means. You will, if you all do so,
get more money for your reduced
space, while giving your readers a
better paper.-[ Opelousas Courier.
