Union Company some years ago made survey
of the eastern coast from st. Augustine down,
but abandoned the idea of building line be-
cause of the difficulties of the work. 1t has
been hoped that the explorers would find that it
was practicable to build line from the cable
on the west coast through the Everglades to
Jupiter Inlet. It's construction, if the route
should be found practicable, would certainly be
an important aid to commerce.

In Rome has no means of getting news from the
Vatican. Most Of the foreign correspondents are
also extremely ignorant of clerical affairs. The
London Standard used to take the lead n the manu-
facture of Roman canards but the pre-em1nence
in that industry seems to be shifting to America.
The now naval regulations establish the stiff
cocked-hat for the use of naval officers instead OF
the convenient folding cOcked-hat which hitherto
an officer could lay away fiat in his trunk or could
see sat on without breaking heart. The stiff hat
will have an advantage, however. 1t can be used
as life-preserver when the ship goes down-as our
ships are likely to do.
The young photographer who is on trial in Brook
lyn for prosecuting young lady with his ill
focused admiration gives 1T as his excuse that he
thought she was sixteen lie seems to have
singular notion of the powers of endurance of
sixtecn-year-Old girl. Because he thought she was
sixteen, he could try to get into her house five or
six times day, write her hundreds of letters, offer
her fifty dollars for her photograph, and do other
insane acts for space of three years, beginning
when the poor girl was thirteen years old, and in
short clothes The young photographer appears to
be four-storied idiot with mansard roof, Gu
pola flagstaff and weather-vane on top.
Neneral Dutler cannot forgive himself. lie SenL
dispatch to The Pitsbarg Commercial Gazette on cleo
tiOn night expressed with such unfortunate awk-
wardness that it was susceptible of two meanings,
and The TRIBUNE hilariOusly placed upon 1t an in
depreciation quite different from the Generals in
tentOn. 1t is pleasant to feel that you have
laid yourself open to iueverent joking and in the
fervOr of his self-reproach General Butler has gone
so far as to swear blue oath that he will never
give the The TRIBUNE any information whatever
upon any subject in the whole broad universe TIE
TRIBUNE will try to gropc along during this depri-
walton Of light sustained by the expectation that
General Butler will get over his chagrin at his
blunder in attributng the increase in his vote TO
the freest of money, fraud, and the corruption
Of his opponents; and that when he trusts himself
again to speak he will return TO the custom Of all
great statesmen, and seek to be heard through The
TRIBUNE. Serene or savage, Butler is generally en-
tertaining enough as news; and whenever he has
come back to us, after vowing never to speak to
THE TRIBUNE again, we have been disposed to let
him in. We still mean to be easy with him.

however. we must repeat what we said last week,
that these sensational reports from Rome are abso-
Lutte fabrcations, without either foundation or
plausibility. Nuncios only sent to governments
with which the Holy See maintains diplo-
matte relations. If the strange notion of sending
one to Washington were to DO entertained, the

The Republicans of this city seem to be
finally waking up to the Importance of sh ailng
in the reorganization of the party in New York.
Yesterday the enrolment was $500 names
a week ago it was $500. This showing l.
decidedly gratifying. 1t indicates that the
better classes of Republicans who hitherto have
stood aloof from the Machine are now coming
forward to take part in the management OF
affairs But much still remains to be done.
The Republican vote in this city this year was
59,287. 1t is plain enough, therefore, that
the $4,000 voters who have put their names
on the district rolls, do not comprise the ma
iority of the party in this city by any means.
There are thousands of others who still have
their duty to perform. Let the enrolment on
next Tuesday-the last chance show as great
an increase over that of yesterday as that OF
YESTERDAY shows over the enrolment OF the first
day. The duty of every Republican now Is to

In his annual report just sent to Secretary
Chandler, Admiral Porter makes an urgent APP
peal for new and fast cruisers for the Navy.
He points out in the plaincst English how ut
terly weak the United States would be in war
with the least formidable of the maritime nation
of the world and emphasizes tho points made
in THE TRIBUNE of Sunday last, in regard to
our totally inadequate coast dcfcnccS. The
suggestions of Admiral Porter are worthy Of
serious consideration even among citizens who
think our inland cities at least would not suffer
much in a foreign war.

The acquittal of Porter, who is commonly be-
leved to have murdered Walsh in Diapers
liquor store in Sixth-avc, was not altogether
unexpected. The witnesses in the case were
very bad lot so far as telling the truth was con-
cerned and moreover, it must be admitted
that the prisoner was defended with consider
able ingenuity. On the other hand, the prose-
cution was marked by fcebleness and mcapa-
city. 1t is painful fact that when Assistant
Distrct-Attorney O'Byrne takes up case
people who have noted his methods are pretty
confident that it will fail. So Porter is loose on
the community again. There is one satisiac-
tory thing about it, however. He was tried Ill
a proper court, and is set free by the proper
authorities; and not by a-wel, say

The steamships which arrived yesterday
from Europe report most unpleasant trips
The Amerique sustained her reputation as
vessel sure to get into trouble if it is possible
but equally sure to reach port safely after
many days. She broke some part of her
machinery soon after leaving Havre on Nov
cmber 4. The voyage of the Greece was not
nearly so long, but she seems to have had
harder time aven than the French steamship.

Poole, the Dublin Irishman who has been
tried ON so many different charges OF murder
and.conspiracy, has finally been found guilty of
assassnating William Kenny, and has been SEN
fenced to death. Kenny was suspected of
having given information to the English
authorities concerning the murder of Cavcndsh
and Burke. Poole was convicted principally by
the testimony of an infoImcr named Lauie );
but the latteT's statements were corrOb0rated
by circumstances described by other persons.
This verdict will be apt to make the killing OF
informers less attractive work for the members
of secret organizations in Ireland 1t indicates,
also, that popular feeling will have no influence
on the result in the case of 0'Donnell, who slew
Carey.
