The examination of the luggage did
not take long. There were few articles
on which duty was collectable, the
owners were honest and declared them,
and there were no disputes. The stock
of good humor which every one acquired
when they saw the land was not taxed
by the custom house officials. The
luggage Of the emigrants was not exam
ined on the dock, but was taken with the
owners on board Of the Castle Garden
barge. Here it is looked over by the
officers appointed to that work, but it is
rarely if ever taxed. The custom-house
is very apt to allow emigrants to bring
almost anything. providing it is clearly
their own property and for personal use.
This fact has sometimes been taken adj
vantage of by smugglers and attempts
have been made to bring in articles for
sale this way. 1t has rarely succeeded.
however, for although the officers are
willing to pass almost any kind of prop
erty belonging to emigrants, their search
through the great chests is none the less

A Calculation.

It is but natural that Mr.. George Nj.
Robeson, NJ. c., Chairman of the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the Navy De-
partment, and second ON the list of
members of the Committee on Naval AT
fairs, should take great interest in the
condition of our so-called navy, espe-
cially as this very Mr.. Robson was Sec
retary of the Navy in the Cabinet OF
General Grant. So natural was his in
terest that, the very day before Mr..
Hayes went into Office, he made con-
tracts with John Roach 4 Company, OF
Chester, Pennsylvania; Harlan & Com
pony, of Wilmington, Delaware; Cramp
& Sons, of Philadelphia, and Burgess, of
Vallejo, in this State, for the construc-
ton of four monitors. For the compile
tion of these vessels Chandler, Robson
and company now propose to expend
four millions of dollars. A ship builder
Of New York, Mckay by name, who
has made very careful estimate OF
the amount actually required for the
completion of these vessels, now states
publicly through the press that the work
can be done for but little more than half
the money.
Here is very nice profit for the prin-
cipal contractors, Messieurs Chandler,
Robeson, Roach l. Company on the par
tial construction of four ships. Let us
now suppose that the government OF the
United States should desire to build an
other navy. for the purpose of, at some
time, going to war with somebody-and
Mr.. Secretary Chandler, in recent
speech at Boston, remarked feelingly
that this was necessity of the times
what would be the profit accruing to
these contractors? 1t is recommended
that prizes be given in the public schools
for the solution of this problem; the pro
ceeding would be attended with the i'm
parting Of much and varied information
to young men about to assume the togs
sf American citizenship. Possibly thu
prosperous condition of these enterpris
ing contractors was what 'Truxton
meant when he wrote that s'the opera
tor, the mechanic and laborer, the bas'
and lever of all prosperity, are fully EN-
ployed, and at satisfactory remunera
tion;" to the words of an esteemed con
temporary, that this is ''what the Re
publican party is, and what it has dom
and is now doing" let us add-and de
sires to continue doing.

there having refused to make any volum-

mits his knowledge that some of the

upon them to contribute money for the

A ROMANCE OF 1872.
A Reminiscence of a Brilliant Naval
Exploit.
Norfolk telegram

Norfolk Telegram.
Secretary Frelinghuysen advertised in
the daily papers to notify the heirs, ex-
ecutors, administrators, agents and as
signees of the captain, officers, owners,
and crew of the privateer General Arm
strong, destroyed by the English at
Fayal, in September, 1914, to transmit
to him. in writing, o statement of the
amount and nature OF their claims be-
fore the 18th day of the present month.
This is probably the last official mention
that will be made of one of the most
brilliant and romantic naval exploits in
the worlds history. The defense which
Captain Samuel c. Reid, with seven men
and ninety guns made when attacked
in neutral waters by British SQUAD
ron carrying ll3 guns and two
thousand men, is the Their
mophole of naval annals. The Yankee
sailors, after beating off successive at
tacks by boats, launches, ships of the
line and boarding parties for night and
day, during which time they destroyed
more than three times their own mum.
ber, turned gun down their hatchway,
scuttled their brig and retired to an old
convent. to which the enemy did not see
fit to follow them. This exploit delayed
the arrival of Cochranes fleet at New
Orleans, until Gen. jackson had reached
and fortified that city, and according to
his testimony ended the war of 1872.
The brig General Armstrong has been
hardly less famous in diplomacy than it
was in war. The United States, Eng
land and Portugal were for many years
involved in tangle growing out of a
claim for indemnity, in the course of
which Louis Napoleon, as Emperor of
the French, acted as referee. Mr.. Lowell
has succeeded in obtaining from the
British government important documents
bearing on this claim, and Senator PEN
dleton instituted the legislative action
that has at last resulted in the award of
$40, 0,730 to the participants in that ac-
ton after delay of 81 years. Captain
Reid received from the legislature of
this State, at the hands of Governor
Tompkins, an elegant gold-mounted
sword, and from the Common Council of
this city a silver service in commemora-
tion of this event, of which William
Cobbett wrote: SIT is the essence of he
roism; it drives one wild with admira-
tien."

In the veracious history of the Pick.
wick Club it is related that, at the
famous dinner given by Mr.. Sawyer,
this gentleman and his guests made Q
great deal of noise. Thereupon Mr.
Sawyer's landlady told her husband
that, if he was man, he would turr
the revelers out of the house; to which
this worthy replied that he would do SC
if he were dozen men. Some of oul
esteemed Republican contemporaries ap.
pear to look at things as Mr.. Sawyer's
landlady did, and assert that General
Stoneman, as Railroad Commissioners,
has done nothing for the people; they
forget that one man can not out vote
two, and that Cone and Beerstecher con.
stantly prevented Stoneman's attempts to
further the peoples cause.

In the Fifth District of South Caro-
lima Mr.. Smalls, Republican, received
fifteen thousand votes. As Mr.. Tillman,
Democrat, received but twenty-three
thousand, the House Committee on Elec-
tions is of opinion that Mr. Smalls was
elected. In the Second Alabama Dis
trict Mr.. Herbert, Democrat, received
thirteen thousand votes, and Mr.. Stro-
bach, Republican, nearly nine thousand
Mr.. Strobach's margin not being quite
enough, he has been allowed "to with
draw without prejudice" In the Fourth
District of Alabama the seat of Mr.
Shelly, Democrat, is declared vacant
because he received only nine thousand
votes to six thousand cast for Mr.. Smith,
Republican. Why are Strobach and
Smith thus swindled out of their seats

the law, was current in Washington
Mr.. Frelinghuysen, of course, hastened
to authorize denial of the story. AT

out of Difference to the wishes of the

AMONG the bills before the House of
Representatives is one which was intro
duced on Monday, by Mr.. Cassidy, of
Nevada, which provides that the coun-
ties of Alpine, Mono and Inyo be de-
tached from California and incorporated

bill will remain part of the unfinished
business for several sessions to come.

THE denunciation of the Stalwarts,
and the Presidential Prescription of the
orators brethren, of which Mr.. Bayne,
anti Cameron Republican, of Pennsyl-
vania, delivered himself in the House
the other day, was SO severe as to bring
on relapse of the Boss's toothache.
Mr.. Bayne, moreover, ran through his
rhetorical mangle-so to speak-a great
deal of soiled Republican linen.

Mr.. ARTHUR's course shows the tend
ency of Republicanism. He proposes to

or's Office at Albany will be merely tel
