1t is fact that there is no surplus Of

great deficiency of good roadsters. and
we can see no other cause for the busi-

produced are not the class most desired.
There are OF course a great many coEanon
horses in use, but they are not a ready

The New Ocean Steamer.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE new Inman
line steamer City of Paris from Liverpool
completed her maiden voyage across the
Atlantic at $50 q. m. to-day. She left
Queenstown at 3:19 p. m. on April 4, and
arrived off Sandy Hook at 5:37 this morning,
thus making the trip from harbor to harbor
IN days. is hours and So minutes. From
Fastnet light to Fire Island, the time was
about hours less She reached Quarantine
at 65S g. N. and one hour and two minutes
later she was at her dock. 1t was expected
that the new steamer would make the trip
within very few hours over ak days. Her
failure to do so ia attributed to the fact that
her new machinery had not had time to
smooth down and because the weather was
not favorable to quick voyage.

THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL Il.

THE NEW YORK Herald, referring to the

the solid South by organizing a protection
party in this section, says Here is move
ment, well conceived, promising in every
way, for carrying thirty five of the hundred
and six southern districts for the republican
policy, and thus breaking an immense noie
in the solid Southland the republican or
psns coollv turn their backs Oh it, Just as
thew persistently turned their backs on
General Malone" This is only fair sam
pie of the utter ignorance OF southern affairs
of otherwise we'll informed northern people
Every southern man, republican as we'll as
democrat, knows that the movement re-
ferred to lacks every element OF success,
and is even more visionary than any, Tor
the same object, that has ever preceded II.
No wonder northern republicans cody turn
their backs on it. And the latter chow just
az much common sense in turning their
backs ON General Malone, who is only re-
publican for selfish purposes. and who, by
his reputation, has done more to harm
Virginia, ana by his bossism, to harm the re
publican party thereof, than any other mar
