The members of the House Commit
tss on Naval affairs together with rev
eral ship builders, mem bers OF the press,
Sc, who paid Q short visit to TINS city
yesterday, the particulars OF which ap-
peared in the Republican = late oditlon
the same DAY. The party left this city
on an early afternoon train Tor Chester,
and, upon arriving n Lamokin, the car
was shifted on side TRACK hen the
party disem barksd and were conveyed
in carriages to the Chester Rolling Mills,
where much Of the iron used by Mr.
Roach in his ship yard is made. The
new Blasting fun nace, which commenced
operations in November last, was Wis.
tied, and, from the Superintendent 1t
was as,ertained ,bat the production OF
pig iron amounted to about 600 tons per
week, and Of plate iron in the mill, 21S
tons per week.
After leaving this mill the party pro
cseded to the ship yard Of Mr.. Roach
where they found everything in lively
state, over 1000 men being busiy enga9.
ed in this yard, in the construction OF
vessels.
Thirteen vessels, with aggregate ton
mage of about 5000 tons, are now being
constructed, all of which, except one,
are large sea going ships. The exeep
ton 10 the side wheel steamer Pilgrim,
for the Fall River Line. This vessel has
q double hull, and is to be finished In
the Lost costly manner. Her shafts,
each 80 inches in diameter, ~ feet long,
aud together weighingSi tons, are said
to be the largest ever made in this coun.
try. The steamer will have first-cla
accommodations for 1900 passengers
She will be launched in April. The var
iOus operations in this extensive yard
we're thOroughly examined and the com
mittee expressed themselves highly de
lighted with all they saw.
After leaving this yard the party
left for Philadelphia and to day viii
visit League Island and Cramps ship
yard. They will return to Washington
this evening. The result of their wish
will not BIZ made public until it is
brought before the House.
The obj set Of the visit was fully ex
planned yesterday and a description o
the monitors, which have been lying a
different ship yards for several year
have already been given and IL is no
necessary to repeat it. Suffice it to SAY
that the one at Wilmington is calleC
the AmphitriUe, the one at Chester The
Puritan and the one at Philadelphia
the Terror.
There is one on the stocks in Califor
MA known as the Miantonomah. Con
tracts were made for these monitors
while Hon Mr.. Robinson, of New Jer
sey, was Secretary of the Navy, ant
before work STOPPED upon them abou
100000 on each had been expended.
The cost of finishing these monito II
is estimated at about 81 OOO, 900 for sacl
ship. This, it is said, will allow 70
the alterations in the plating, turret
SC, made necessary by improvement
in navaI construction since the con
tracts we're awarded.

To the Editor ofTuE REpuBI1CAS:
Ii famong the Southern states lntely reconqucrcd
by the Bourbon Democracy there is one which
started out from the reconstruction in,terfegnuni
ifthcre Is one In which the Republican party has
literally sunk under the weight OF It's own in
louisiana No Southern State has before her faircr
prospects. Her unequnlcd situation at the
mouth of the principal river oil the United
States, with her network OF railroad
lines Just approaching completion, with the GER
tuinty of an interoC0anic commercial highway
with the near future with the tide of immigra-
ton lust setting in to render valuable her mngnii-
cent domain, Louisiana is bound TO rapidly re
conquer a more important position among the
to Republican party sway becomes matter seri-
HAPPILY THE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS
in that State is now more favorable 10 such con-
summation than even that of Virginia previous TO
the late election. a few years of Bourbon rule
have thoroughly convinced her people that that
superannuntcd organization Is utterly incompe-
tent to produce anything sensible, rs wei ns the
great advantage of standing In political accord
with the National Administration. III fact, every
thing is rife for a change, and all that is required
is for the National Administration to act Judi
ciously in the bestowal of Federal patronage III
Louisiana the Federal officials have come TO be con-
sdered the real leaders OF the party. ana II must
be conceded that the present muster-roll Is
amply calculated to deter the masses from en-
barking in the Republican ship. Not only is This
the case. but the present inCumbents have proved
positive obstacles to anything like propaganda
in favor of Republican supremacy. How the vote
of Louisiana has been falsled ut the Chicago con-
vention is II matter Of history. The mOdus
opordRdt of controlling conventions through
Federal patronage Is too well known TO need elu-
Cidation here,
so POWERFUL Is THE INCENTIVE
of place and money as TO render aborlive all
efforts of the Stalwart phnlanN In Louisiana TO ac.

and the office holders to fight which Is certainly

Beattie, of Lalourche, waited upon the President

that the matter will be thoroughly considered

An item for the Florida delegation in Congress
to read IL Is from the Titusvillc star, OF Decem-
Der q one year ago we had five mails Il week
three via Enterprise and two via New smyrna
We were able to read the Jacksonville dailies the
second day after their issue We were only FIVE
or six days from New York, and we are now that
time distant from Jacksonville. This is exceed
ingly interesting to our business men--our orange
and vegetable growers. We then could correspond
with the business men of Jacksonville and get re-
turns the same week Now IL requires two weeks
10 accomplish the same, and we are lucky If we
get returns in that time. To whom ure we in
dcbted for this huge step backward Our Jack
sonvlle daiics come six in bunch, once week.
Our weekly exchanges reach us from week to
ten days behina time. A year ago our mails came
up the 81. Johns directly TO Enterprise and from
thence here. Now they are brought up the ST.
Johns as far US TocOi, thence by rail to 81. Au-
