MILTON.

In the presence Of a large gathering Of
people, and with flags gayly flying and
the profuse scattering Of abundant flow
ers, the four-masted schooner Florence
Creadick, was successfully launched
from one of the Milton shipyard. on Sat
lIrday. This vessel, as previously stated,
will be commanded by Captain William
I.ank, and i'll her present condition draws
about seven feet of water. Many months
have been consumed in the construction
of the Florence Creadick, and she is
pushed from the ways in the latter part
Of November, and will arrive in Philadel-
phia about the first of December when
the days are the shortest), to be fitted
OUT at an accumulated expense to the
owners of from $500 to $500 more, than
if she had been launched in August or
September. Business men and captains
see the hardness of Milton contractors,
and when they want vessels built fight

was il not that our mechanics are pro- i
verbally good workmen, we doubt
whether there would be any work done
in the shipyards. Money is worth some
thing, and a captains time is worth some
thing, and for the capitalist and captain
to have to wait year for the construc-
ton of vessel, is not only the heighth
Of folly, but damaging to the business of
the the town. We do not wish to be

men are slow, but that there are not
enough men employed. Nor is it because

The National Guard.

The first annual report of Secretary Of
War Proctor is given to the public this week.
In these piping times of peace there Is but
little interest attached to either the number
or the operations of Uncle Sans soldiers
Some Of the general topics, however, are Of
wider interest.
The Secretary's remarks in regard to the
National Guard, for instance, will attract
the attention of both the friends aud the
opponents of the citizen soldierv, who are
really the main dependence of the nation in
all great cities Eighty years ago the
national government made an annual appro-
priation of 100000 to aid in the support of
the militia, and now, with population OF at
least sixty millions, the appropriation is only
$500 600. The need Of maintaining the
National Guard co n not be gainsaid, and
Secretary Proctor's suggestion Of liberal
appropriation for this purpose deserves care
full consideration.
The aggregate Of this reserve army, regu-
larly organized and uniformed is Io6, 500
men, and the present annual appropriation
of Congress for their armament and equip
ment is only 100000, or about S. rs per
man.
The secretary also recommends that ap-
pointments to the regular army from civil
life be made from the officers of the national
Guard. He says;
The greatly increased efficiency of the Ma
lioual Guard and theawskeued interest taken |
in it throughout the country has induced |
many of our promising young man to join il
70 give these young men a chance to gain a
in the army would be proper
and encouragement of that or
ganization. Military training is also feat
are in many of the colleges and schools, so
hat there can be no difficulty in securing ex-
sellent material ifthe proper measures are
aken to select it.

Where Part of the Money Goes.
(FrOm The Lnder.)

The time consumed by the Court in
going over the peace recOgnizances
has become nuisance, and something
ought to be done to put a stop to it.
The court has to attend to it, but some
thing ought to be done to keep the
great mass of it from ever appearing
IN court. Scores Of cases are dockete
by the Justices Of the Peace, and in due
time are forwarded to the court, which
when they have been made up hav'~
served their purpose, namel-- se

is the only way to break up the prac-
tice. Or the Levy Court could, by TAX
ing the heroic action OF refusing pay
ment Of the oils and compelling suit
against the county, force the whole pro-
ceedings to be laid bare, which would
never be done. IL is time that some
thing WAS done, rs the costs to the tax
payers are being piled up forcing the
county To be a constant borrower TO
