American Shipping.
..1,Os4,S5J

We have vainly endeavored to ascertain
from some authoritative expert whether 1t
would be possible for American merchants
70 run ocean steamships without loss, pro-
yided the ships were given to them without
cost, 80 that the owners would simply have
10 pay for repairs and running expenses.
This information we have not obtained /;
but our ncighbor, the Times, appears to have
been more fortunate, and 1t solves the prob
lem In the following manner:
eff ships were gvon to merchants, they could not
AFFORD to them permanently because It is made so
expensive that they could compete with the unbur
asned marine of other countries Taxes, port charges,
consular fees and the thousand and vexatous ex
actions and requirements which our laws put upon com
make impossible for 1t to thrive upon the seas
Besides all this. general tariff restricts commerce
and makes return cargoes matter Of uncertainty"
According to this view OF the subject,
nothing would be gained by allowing our
merchants to buy steamers abroad. II they
had to run them on the same terms as II they
were built in this country, they would soon
break down under their inevitable losses.
We presume that the Times states the facts
with accuracy, although 1t does not specify
Among the difficulties our shipowners labor
under, the difference In the rates Of wages
which they have to pay, as compared with
those paid by English German, or Scandi-
navian shipowners. Very likely, however,
chs difference may form considerable
item; and it must also be remembered that
foreign crews and servants can be kept in a
state Of discipline much more readily than
American crews.
It would appear, then, that the means Of
feviving the navigation interest In this coun-
try and OF raising 1t in these days Of steam
% the same prominence which 1t formerly
enjoyed in the days Of sailing ships, has not
yet been discovered.

talks faster than any other public speaker We
know Of; more rapidly, indeed, than the pen
Gil OF the swiftest stenographer can follow.
Mr.. Brooks speaks distinctly, and his nimble
tongue enables him to put great deal Of
matter into half hours discourse; never
theless, the habit Of extremely rapid utter
ance Is not good one to cultivate.
Mr. RICHARD O'GoRMAN OF this town is
one of the best speakers we have ever heard.
His delivery Is as chaste as PnILLIPs's,
while 1t has peculiar glow and richness Of
It's own; and the cadenccs Of his voice are
music. Few orators now using the English
language unite so perfectly those different
qualities without which speech is extrava-
gantly ford, monotonously dry, or sono-
rously unimpressive-th earnest conviction
OF the man Of reason the fervor Of the man
Of imagination, and the severe self-criticism
OF the man Of cultivated and chastened taste.
On the whole, we should advise our corre-
spondent who Is in search OF q model orator
to study the rhetoric and enunciation Of
WENDELL PHILLIPS; to borrow, II he can,
some Of Col INGERsoLL's homely vigor and
humorous audacity; to analyze the plat
form art Of BKECHER, and select with dis
elimination; to acquire, II possible, the
earnestness and the fancy Of O'GoRMAN;
to go to the masterpieces Of EvARTs for
sustained flow Of language and the nice
ties Of digital gesticulation; to throw in
perhaps, n dash Of tho Calvinistic vehe-
mence Of JOHN SwINToN; and to pay partic-
ular attention to the strong Bible English
of Judge JEREMIAH S. BLACK. II he sue
cecds in combining in his own style the sew
eral merits Of these orators, to the exclusion
OF their faults, and then schools himself to
open his mouth in public only when he has
something worth saying to deliver, he will
not have to go far to find the greatest Ameri-
can orator

entail unspeakable misery on the Irish
people, whose well-being the leaders OF the
Land League on both sides OF the Atlantic
have at heart. It would mean q resolute
application Of the whole power Of the British
Government TO the ejoctment Of recalcitrant
tenants, and we must remember that the
material strength of Great Britain Is, rela-
lively to that of Ireland, far greater than 1t
was in 1S48, yet in the aforementioned
year there were no less than 100000
evictions, that is to say, a million and
half Of human beings were expelled
from their homes. Nothing but discom-
future and ruin could come Of a refusal Of the
facilities which 1t Is hoped will be forthcom-
ing for the purchase OF holdings, and the as
scrtion of an intention to keep the land in
violation and contempt of the law. Nor let
1t be imagined that Great Britain, II, instead
Of being called on to appeaso legitimate aRt-
tation by equitable concessions, she found
herself constrained to deal with overt rebel
lion, would be dismayed by the threat Of
American interference. The utmost damage
we could do her would be to annex Canada
and British statesmen would Wow the loss OF
the Dominion with singular equanimty, for
since the introduction Of tariff by which
duties are levied on British goods the Cana
dian dependency has been a burden, unre-
lieved by the slightest compensations, to the
parent State.
The truth is, tho scheme OF confscation
without indemnity advocated by our cor
respondent Is not countcnanccd by anybody
Of prominence in the councils of the Land
League. The "no-rent manifesto" was
avowedly put forward as mere temporary
expedient to secure the release Of the sus-
pects and now that its purpose has been ac-
complished it has been quietly withdrawn.
Mr.. DAvITr urges as earnestly as ever the
abolition Of landlordism, but he still regards
a purchase Of the land by the State and a re-
sale to the tenants as the sole practicable
method Of effecting his purpose. In his
speech at Liverpool on June he advocated
the buying out Of all landlords by the State,
and he computed the sum requisite for that
purpose at 500, COX, 900. Whether the land
thus purchased Is reconveyed by the Gov
eminent to the present occupants, they
reimbursing it for its outlay by annual
payments, or is retained by the Gov
eminent and merely leased to the
peasantry, in neither case would there be
any confscation OF landlord property. And
Mr.. PARNELL took occasion recently TO read
written statement on the same point in the
House OF Commons at time when the NAL
contents Of the Irish party were all present.
He declared, and not an Irish member VEN
tured to challenge his assertion, that never
had the prisoners OF Kilmainham contem-
plated obtaining possession Of the Irish soil
by any other means than by pacific and legiti-
mate purchase. Thus 1t was that Mr.. PAR
NELL disposed of the talk about violent re-
tention, which, in fact, has never been seri-
ously mooted on either side Of the Atlantic

Emigration by water to the Pacific coast is
now abundant. as well as to the Atlantic; and a
British steamer which recently arrived at San
Francisco was found 10 have on board 326 pas
sengers moro than she was entitled to carry.
1t Is evident that the greed which risks the in
fringement OF the laws in packing emigrants on
shipboard should be checked by vigorous
means. OF some terrible calamity may be the
result Of neglect and connivanee.
