In discussing the cost of sailing Amcli-
can and British ships, Il correspondent Of
the Nautical Gazette says: ''Americans
could afford to pay 20 per cent more for
iron ships, and steam treighters, than if
built in England especially for the latter,
if the running expenses could be kept
down to those Of the English ships, and
this can be done if the same liberal policy
is adopted for shipping here is in Eng
land. The difference in cost is more than
compensated for in superior model and
stronger construction
In an editorial on the credit system the
New York Herald says that the subscribe

vance, this being good for the editors and
good for the readers And, continues
the Herald, "the paper is better. Moth

editors style rs the knowledge that there
is bag Of meal in the house and barrel
OF cider Oh tap in the cellar The
Herald is d sensible paper sometimes.
The old saying that 'doctor's differ
has been illustrated at the bedside of the
President. But the public cares little for
the rules of medical etiquette at this time,
1t demands that the President shall have

tainable, and that nothing shall be said
or done in his presence which may affect
him untayorably. 1t is to be hoped that
those who have the case in charge are
fully aware Of their great responsibility.
Mark Twain has shed the electric light
OF his intellect upon the comet which en-
abled him to arrive at the following con
illusions: "My observations Of this fellow
and also of Coggia's comet, seven years
ago, have convinced me that comets tails
are fastened on tight, and are of a fibrous
and durable nature, like Hartford beef
steak"
The Boston Post hits the nail suuarely

Many are disposed to regard Charles
Guiteau, the assassin of the President, as
insane. His acts, however, do not APP
pear to be those of an insane man. He
watched bis opportunity to assault the
President, having been seeking for it the
past six weeks. He deliberately planned
the murder, procured the means of effect
ing it, and provided means of rapid
escape afterwards. All this does not
look like an insane mans work There
never was more coolly planned, or pre-
meditated crime committed than Guiteau
committed when he assaulted the Presi-
dent. He even calculated upon the
danger to which he would be exposed
after the assassination, and had a letter
all written in his pocket for Gen. Sherman
asking the General to provide troops and
protect the jail where he expected to

1t has been satisfactorily demonstrated
that Guiteau alone is responsible. His
own admission in regard to his purpose
and conduct have been corroborated by
the facts ascertained 10y the searching in
vestigation made by the detectives and
other officers. Six weeks ago he deter
mined to kill the President, and it is now
known that he was at the railroad depot
for that purpose when the President and
Mrs Garfield went to Long Branch Il
short time ago. The crime was not COM
mitted at that time, because he was
moved by the apparent helplessness of
Mrs. Garfield, who was recovering from
severe sickness. His diabolcal resolu-
ton, however, was not abandoned, but
simply postponed. The only expression
Of opinion by the President on the con-
spiracy phrase of the matter was dropped
Wednesday afternoon, when Mr.. Garfield
was reading some extracts from the pa
pers. A paragraph was read setting forth
the plot theory, but the President shook
his head and said, ~ don't believe it."

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.

Ever since we became acquainted with
some OF the officials OF this road and learn
ed 10 esteem them for their high personal
character and to admire them for their en-
terprise and their patriotic desire 10 for
ward the interests OF Virginia, and eonse-
quently the welfare Of the whole country,
we have been specially interested in every
thing that pertained to the welfare OF the
road. We find in late No. OF the Valley
Virginidn some particulars OF the new
work now in progress which we are sure
will be OF interest 10 our readers generally.
We copy:
"It is understood that the eastern extern
sion OF the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad TO
Newport News will be completed by the
| 1st OF July, and the western extension, by
way OF the Biz Sandy and Lexington line to
Lexington, KY, will also be finished by The
| lst of October. 1t was expected that this
connection would also be completed by the
| 1st of July, but an extremely severe winter
interfered seriously with the progress OF the
work, and OnsCquently DELAYED completion.
The entire line from Newport News to
| LexingtOn-G50 miles-wll be laid with
steel rail, the rails now being at the com.
mand OF the management. Forty-two new
| locomotives and LOO new cars have been
ordered for the new eastern extension, ana
| fifteen locomotives and 400 cars have been
ordered for the Big Sandy branch, OF which
General Echols is vice president and acting
president.
"The recent visit OF Mr.. Huntington,
General Wickham, and General Echols TO
Tennessee had reference to an extension Of
the connections OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
road TO Memphis. Arrangements were
1 10 Tor ho NJ fbp paHnpah nd
Elizabethtown road, and filling the unoc-
cupied gap OF fifty.o miles between Pa
ducah and Memphis. A part of this line
is already graded, and it is estimated the
whole OF il can be completed in another six
months, giving all unbroken connection
from Newport News to Memphis, distance
OF over 900 miles"
The Valley Vrginian predicts the per-
lection of a scheme OF direct continental
intercourse and the early opening OF chan.
mel Of communication for the affluent pro-
ducts OF the sections traversed directly
with the largest carrying-ships that plough
the ocean. We think there is no one man
connected with the road by whom Its !m'
portsnt character and wonderful resources
OF the principal State which its traverses
have been more generally advertised
to the country than Major n. III,
Hotchkiss, so long the general travel
ling agent of the road. His intimate
relations with the editors OF newspapers
North and South have carried the fame OF
the road into thousands OF sections which II
would otherwise never have reached, and
caused more eyes TO turn toward Virgins
for purposes OF settlement or investment
than any other one Influence. Success tC
