The Taxation Of Ships.

Tho following letter from Sec
retary Blaine, To a Massachusetts |
congressman, appears in the Bos-
ton Advertiser of recent date. His
views on the local taxation Of
shipping are sound, and the text
of the whole letter covers very
much the same ideas as were ad-
vanced in The AsToRIAN by Capt.
Woodbury., deceased, then in this
port as master of the ship Valley
Forge. Secretary Blaine SAYS:
The removal Of local taxation
from vessels engaged in the for
eign carrying trade would be an
immense help in the effort to re-
vive American commerce. Since
our conversation in regard to
bill 10 that effect, now pending
before the Massachusetts legisla-
ture, have felt impelled TO write
YOU word, in the hope that may
quicken your zeal in urging IFS
passage. If ships in the foreign
trade Of the United States can he
taxed, as la other countries, upon
their incomes and not upon their
cost, ! think great step
would Ice taken in the right
direction. No person paving
taxes on other property need COM
plain OF All unfair discrimination,
because If we can encourage ship
Building ia this way we will secure
au income tax; whereas,if we do not
quickly do something to develop
our navigation interests we shall
be utterly driven from the sea by
our wise and more iar-sighted
rivals. la other words, it would
be better t0 have the navigation
properly made prosperous under a
wise system Of taxation than to have
it entirely disappear under an m-
wise system. There need be no
jealousy ON the part of the coast
inw trade, because that is confined
to American vessels, and those err
gagged in it are all sailing under
the same conditions, and have
oniv 10 encounter fair and honor
able competition among them-
selves. But American ships in
the foreign trade do not sail under
the same conditions with ships ni
European countries. We place
burdens and costs aud taxes upon
our vessels from which vessels Oi
foreign countries are exempt. In
short, we load them down with
eNactiOns ana expressions, and then
! rub cur eyes and wonder that
American ships do not hold THEN
own in the international contest
for the trade of the world. There
is not manufacturing interest in
New England. or any other part
Of the United States, that would
not be swept ont of existence i
subjected to tie same condition:
that for wears have oppressed
American shipping. / believe th,
government of the United States
will speedily remove every tax, re
strictien and discrimination which
by its authority stands ia the way
of American commerce. To tha
end ] shall assiduously labor. But
the movement la Massachusetts, j.
more important than any steI
hitherto taken for our ship-build
ing and commercial interests.
sincerely trust it will succeed
. The example would be followed il
other commonwealths, and W,
would soon have 4 race betweeI
the commercial states as TO whicl
+, could DO the most IN the way o
tightening the burdens upon Ou
navigation interests. When tina
form Of rivalry becomes active tn,
day for our commercial supremac!
will have dawned.

Dispatches were overAowing
again yesterday with the most
ridiculous absurd stories concern
ing Conkling, Arthur, Platt and
Cornell at Albany. People may
just as well understand tke situa-
ton, and to sum it all up in a nut
she'll the substance Of the whole
thing is this, that it is an irrepres-
sible conflict between the radical
and conservative elements of the
republican party, between the
third-termers and anti-third-term-
ers; between the Grant Conkling
men and the Garfeld-Blaine men;
between the Three Hundred and
Six and the Three Hundred and
Ninety-Nine. 1t is nonsense to
talk of "harmony" and "a com
promise" when the fight is forced
so bitterly and with so much vim
dictive spirit from the half breeds

Hon. A. b. Meacham was inter
viewed at Laramie on the 14th. Mr..
Meacham is now under bonds to an
swer before the United States court of
Denver as accessory 10 the murder Of
Jackson, who was killed by Indians
while en- route to the Gunnison for
trial. He was not near the scene of
the tragedy, and had no more to do
with it than Henry Ward Beecher,
but for political reasons, aud through
Ill feeling; he has been charged with
the Offense, and, owing to the fact that
under the statutes an accessory can
not be tried until after the principal.
Mr. Meacham will not get hearing
until the indicted Utes are captured,
and this latter consumatiOn is one Of
the events of the remote futurity.

The time is now present when the col

ing and unsuspicious country their horde
of graduates.
Young men carrying sheepskin marked

our affairs political, temporal and spiritual,
and to take at once the places of the older,
more experienced men, but in their opinion
less capable men, who have gone before.
1t is a matter of continued establishment
and amazement to the freshly graduated
college student how the world has succeed
ed in getting along without him. He can
understand that it is possible for things to
go along in a slip-slod sort of way, but
anything like real progress without himself
seems impossible. When he gets out,
however, he is going to reform things.
The law he will ennoble, the ministry he is
going to grace, medicine he win make
success. and journalism, that
is the business in which
he will shine. There is probably no two
graduates from any college who will not
tell you that journalism is their strong
point, the one thing that they can do: a
seat in an editors chair once given him and
the world is revolutionized, the wheels of
commerce viii move smoothly, the affairs
of men be rightly managed Politics he
intends reforming, and governmental
affairs he expects to take under his special

and for once we will have wise, efficient
and honorable government.
There are in the United States no less
than 422 chartened colleges. In Ohio
alone are thirty-seven, two of which
Kenyon and Hiram-have blossomed into
notoriety of late years by reason of their
Presidential connections. If all others do
as well, there are still thirty five Presidents
to come from Ohio. Tennessee is hardly
reckoned leading State the educational
way, but it has twenty-seven colleges in
full blast among which are such aboriginal
and classical titles as Tusculum, Hiwassee,
and Neophogen. Illinois has 80, the very
names of which it would probably be i'm
possible for any one citizen of the State to
give off hand. Indiana is blessed with 30,
Pennsylvania with 30, and Iowa with 81
