TUE RousE SHIPPING BILL.

Many good, credulouS people may posai-
bly, have laneied month ago, afier noting
the activity in the house OF representatives
and hearing the strong expressions in favor
of enacting laws in accordance with the ex-
pressed will of the PEOPLE, that something
was really going to be done that would
constitute not only a new departure from
the laggardly style of legislation for so long
past, bat be productive of direc. and bene-
fetal returns to the country. There was a
regular shower of bills looking to the cor
rection OF such matters as the people had
spoken out agans. at the election in No
vember last, and it was hailed as recogui.
ton of the fact by the Representative
in congress that the time had come
for them to DOW 10 the wishes Of
their constituencies. How vain however,
all such delusions! Among the subjects
that have attracted the earnest attention OF
the general public and excited wide spread
comment for some years past, is the cecad-
ence of American shipping and the best
means for its restoration and growth. A
bill to meet the difficulty was proposed in
the present congress and on friday, the
10Th, was acted upon in the lower house.
As framed, it really contained the features
necessary to revive our shipping interest.
1t was discussed at length, but section al.
ter section was stricken out until the p0r-
ton that came out Of the cauldron Of de-
bate unscorched was but a faint picture Of
the original. Our greatest obstacle to ouI
shipping has been the existence upon oui
statute books of the navigation acts
forbidding the sailing under the
American Tag of any other than vessels
built in the United States-in other words
prohibiting our buying ships for foreign
trade from other nations, This present bill
obyiated this difficulty, By providing fol
free ships, but that section was stricken
out. Other equally wise ensctments o.
sections were stricken out and the only
feature calculated to be OF any advantage
to us that was retained is the clause which
admits all ship building materials into tbt
country free ofduty, when used exclusivel!
for the building of American ships engaged
in the foreign trade. This bill, therefore
from which so mucl was anticipated
whose passage as framed vas so clearly de
manded by reason and facts, and which
if it had been so passed, wouI,
undoubtedly have accomplished mach il
the way Of tho revival Of the carrying trad
aud commerce generally Of the Unite,
States, comes from the house so thorough
emasculated as practically to leave our nav
igation laws and absurd enactments witt
reference to shipping in exactly the sam
condition they were twelve or three month
ago. 1t is another victory for the proteC
tionists, another blow at the country for
few of its citizens, and another illustrates
OF the fact that no dependence can b
placed in the forty.seventh congress doin
anything whatever to remsyc the iettcr
placed upon American trade in the intCres
of capital and monopoly. 1t also indicate
how futile it is to base hopes of reform an
wise legislation upon the loudest even q
congressional professions.

occasioned the usual amount of COM

Upon the occurrence of every horror OF the
kind, and their occurrence is frequent,
indeed, cry goes up for the adoption of
measures that will enable the occpants for
the time being of large structures to escape
in case of fire. A thousand plans and
suggestions are made and one would think
from the newly aroused interest in the
matter that the proper fire escapes within 4
