General Johu Newton, Chief OF
Engineers. in his annual report, in
vites the attention Of Congress to
the defenseless coudition OF our
seacoast and lake frontier, n sub.
iect which he remarks received
careful attention in the last annual
report of the Chief of Engineers.
As the question of the defensive
system OF the country, SO tar as
the forts at which Notifications or
other defences IN most urgently
required, has been referred by Con-
Dress to a board of which the Sec
rctary of War is president, GeDeI-
al Newton restricts bis estimates to
what is required for the repair
and Modification of existing works,
and for torpedOes for haTbor de.
fence. He, however, expresses a
hone that the commencement OF an
elaborate system OF defence may
no longer be delayed for lack OF ap
preparations. The limited amount
of funds available during the past
year has been mainly applied to
placing in serviceable condition
the platforms of heavy guns and
morters bearing upon the channels
of entrance to the various harbors.

TO-DAY the American Solons begin then
work st the National capital. Questions
of great importance to this whole country
will come up for discussion. The people
have elected these mel a. their repre-
sentatives and have con6dsd great trusts
in their hands, and they will watch with
a jealous eye how well they discharge their
duty.
People are generally punished with too
much legislation, and they should in most
cases pray to be delivered from such mistOr-
tune, but some questions before the Forty
ninth Congress demand legislation. The
people, then, want no p~artiGsnship nor
corruption to influence the actions of any
of their representatives. They want the
good Of country to control. This viii in
