preparation

No stronger evidence is needed of
the necessity for a thorough reor-
ganization of our whole municipal
government and police force, than
the account we publish elsewhere of
Mr. Harrington's experience with
bunko thieves on yesterday. That
such rascality should be permitted
to exist in a community of this size
without prompt attention and swift
punishment must be matter of sur
prise to our numerous visitors as
well as our own citizens.

INCREASING THE NAVY.


The problem of providing the
government of the United States
with an efficient navy would be
much easier of solution if more
confidence existed in the disinteres-
tedness of the executive head of
the naval department, and in the
ability of the subordinate officials,
to produce, even with unlimited
means, satisfactory results. The
irOnclads that are now under con-
tract have been made the subject of
severe and ceaseless criticism, both
inside and outside of naval circles.
1t is asserted by those who pretend
to know that the Chicago, the Bos-
ton and the Atlanta will turn out to
be veritable salt water tubs; that
they will not possess the speed des-
ignated in the contract for their
construction and that beside being
slow, they will be wholly unservice-
ably when at sea. OF course, all
this adverse criticism may be I'M
founded; but there is enough of it
to give rise to some apprehension,
and to discourage the notion of ad-
ding new vessels to the navy, until
the doubts which have already been
raised have been set at rest. There
is no want of ability in this ctnntrv
to construct fast and serviceable
versels. For more than a century
the naval constructors of America,
particularly those employed by our
ship merchants, have been distin-
guished throughout the world fo-
their skill in producing the best re-
suits in the direction of building
fast and seaworthy vessels. The
naval department has not, it is true
always been favored by the assist
ance of these competent experts, for
some of the vessels that have been
built during the last twenty years
have been gross failures in almost
every respect. But this has been
dine not to a decline in our national
genius, but to the fact that the work
of construction has been made sec
ondary to political and mercenary
ends. Those in control of the naval
department have not so much desired
good and efficient war ships as they
have wished to provide their party
and personal friends with opportuni-
tics for advancing and enriching
themselves. Until we can build sat
isfactory ships the people of this
country viii content themselves
with undertaking very little new
construction. IF the new iron crui-
sers referred to above prove to be
models of strength and swiftness, it
will be great encouragement to take
up with renewed vigor the work of
supplying the nation with a service
able navy.

that he meant no personal offence, and

However, In an evil hour, he countenanced
q savage and anti Christian custom-the
unfortunate D,Esterrs paid Tor his per.
versencsa with his lie, and tho still more
unfortunate O'Connell expisted his moral
timidity with much mental anguish to the
day Of his death. The preparation OF q
duel appeara 10 me no proof whatever OF
personal courage; the refusal, In the then
slate Of society, would haye shown much
more. However, on the occasion In ques.
ton he showed a total absence OF what Ia vul.
carly called Tor; indeed, his irigld determi.
nation wa remarkable. Lat those who read
the following anecdote remember that he
most reluctantly engaged In tho combat;
that he was then the father Of seven chill.
dren !: and that 1t was an alternative OF life
or death with him, D'Esterre being reputed
an uncrring marksman. Being one Of
those who accompanied! O'Connell, he
beckoncd md inside to a distant portion Of
the very large field, which had a slight
covering Of snow. "Phillipe,h said he,
this Beems to me not a personal, but a
political affair. lam obnoxious 10 a party,
and they adopt q false pretence to cut me

HIS having forced me into this conflict"
The parties we're then very SOON placed on

directions to fire when they chose alter a

himself by making q short speech, dis.
claiMing all hostility to bis Roman Catho.

what thea.rically crossing his pistols upon
his bosom. They fired almost together,
and instantly on the signal. D'Esterre fell,
,nortally wounded. There was the greatest
self.possesaion displayed by both. II

The iscsui,in New York,

Tho New York Tribune, commenting on
the result ut Utica, aptly says that Blaine
was stronger than anybody else and just
fell short Of being stronger than everybody
else. This ia wonderful testimony 10 the
strength OF Mr.. Blaine, thu. in the presi.
dents own State he narrowly missed the
d,lega!es.a!.lsrge. Those delegates ale
kept from him only by q combination with
a small minority which was yet the balance
Of power. 1t also brings out In relief the
amazing weakness Of the President in his
own State, that he does not get one Of the
dslegates.st.lsrgc, and has fewer Of the dis.
trict delegates than Mr.. Blaine.
Another interesting feature Of the result
is that the dele,ates-at.large are Edmunds
men, representing a small element OF the
convention, and as tried by the sentiment
OF the districts, the first choice Of a small
portion Of the Republican party in New
York. 1t Is claimed by some OF the friends
OF President Arthur that the Edmunds
men are really Arthur men in Disguise.
The same has been said OF some OF the
Blaine delegates in Pennsylvania.
1t Is one Of the curious phases Of politics
that there are politicians willing to boaa!
of having deceived the people by a scheme
TO misvepresent them. A candidate for
whom this has 10 be done is too weak to
wear well in a national convention. But
the truth about the New York delegates. at.
large seems 10 be tina! while they are not
Blaine men they are also not Arthur men,
Il fact Of more interest to President Arthur
than to Mr.. blaine.
With the Presidents slender backing in
his own State his chance for nomination is
gone. A South.nearly aolid will not com.
pensate for wha! he ought to have and can
not command ct home. The National Con-
vention will remember that the prospect OF
electoral yotes from the South is not great;
and that tits not long since the Presidents
candidate for Governor OF New York was
defeated by l92. 600 majority.

II Came bout.
The best account Of the famous duel in
which the celebrated Irish orator and
lawyer shot his antagonist dead, is con.
TIMED in the work on "Curran and his
Contemporaries" by Charles Phillips, who
was the second Of O'Connell in the duel re-
ierred to, and who was himself q celebrated
lawyer and orator. He died a year or two
ago.
Living, SIS no did, in constant turmoil,
and careless, as he was, to whom he gave
offence, O'Connell OF course had a multi.
tude OF enemies. OF this, himself the cause,
he had no right to complain; but he had d
right to complain OF the Calumnies thew
circulated. Most rife OF these
was n charge Of want OF courage
in Ireland Il rare and very detrimental &c.
cusation. O'Connell, during his latter
years, declined duelling, and publicly
uvowed his determination. Tho reason
given, and given in the. House OF COM
mons, was, that having blood upon his
hands, no had registered n vow in heaven"
To this there could have been no possible
objection had he iucluded in the registry a
vow not to offend. The real charge to
which no made himself amenable was his
perseverance Mt once in insult and ire.
sponsibility. The truth is, O'Connelrs
want Of courage consisted in his fighting
the duel in which thevow originated. Tho
facts Of the case are few and simple. In
