IT Is stated that fourteen of the frames OF
the new man OF war now being constructed
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard have been
spoiled by improper rveting, the loss OF
course, to fall upon the government. But
the people will be taxed on the necessaries
of life to pay that loss. All governmental
work should be done by contract, and not
be paid for until approved by the govern
msnt's inspectors.

ooe of the negro politicians who called
on him that "he mad always been
friendly to the Interests Of the colored
people, and that he would certainly
not forget to do anything in his power to
better The condition of the colcrcd race the
country over" Well, Mr.. Harrison may
have always been friendly TO the colored
people, hut, to save his life, he couldn't have
been nlore so than the Southern democrats
amorg whom The negroes live; aud though
he may do every thing in his power to better
the condition of the negroes, he will then do
no more than hundreds Of thousands OF
Southern democrats will also do, and what
they bave been doing all their lives.

statement from which some may infer that
he met it more than half way. But the
spirit in which he regarded the matter, and
the form in which he expected to meet it,
is best shown by the precautions he took.
He evidently expected disturbance and
that an arrest should be made in case of a
disturbance. On the way to Lathrop he
asked the conductor of the train whether
there was Constable at Lathrop. On be-
ing told that there was, he asked the con-
ductor to tell the Constable that he (the
Constable) might rely upon him to assist
in maintaining order in case Mr. and Mrs.
Terry should make trouble. He did not
send word that he wanted the Constable to
help him protect Field. That would have
shown different spirit. He sent word
that he was ready to help the Constable in
case of necessity. He evidently had no
idea at this time that Terry would attack
Field vi ct ar7liS.
Such, in brief. were the circumstances of
the case from the time the train began to
| approach Lathrop till Terry lay dead on
the floor and it may be profitable for
some of the Reports readers to digest them
calmly, and make up their minds whether
Nagle or Terry was to blame for the out
come of the encounter in the breakfast
room, and how they would have acted diff
feren1y had they been in Nagles shoes.

A CORRESPONDENT, whose sincerity is
not doubted, was yesterday given space in
the REcoRD-UNIoN TO state his objections
to the hanging awnings that the city au-
thorities have wisely determined must
take the place of the post-supported affairs
that are now an ofiense to the eye and the
cause of reproach to the city. Our corre-
spondent's objections to the new movement
may be thus fairly summed up: "Iron
awnings draw the heat; on the north
slsto Of streets running east and west they
will not afford sufficient protection to the
windows of merchants; the curtain from
the edge of the balcony, now necessary,
cannot be used with the iron awning; the
movement is crank crusade" Now, it is
essential that no desirable reform shall re-
ceive any check because Of such unsub-
stantial objections as our correspondent
raises-honestly enough, doubtless, but
certainly in ignorance of what is really
intended. In the first place, the idea of
the metallic awning drawing" the heat
is error. Metal Will, by reason of its
density, become hotter in the blaze of the
sun than wood, but it viii rapidly yield its
heat also by radiation. The metal of the
metallic awnings is exceedingly thin, it is
elevated and exposed far more to currents Of
air than the present style of awnings. and
IN actual experience it is not found to grow
materially hotter than the wooden ones FIR
that very reason. Especially it has been
roved by thermometrical tests that the
lercury is not more affected beneath them
under wooden awnings. On thenorth
of and of X streets there are several
Terhang iron awnings, and the testimony
bat they afford the same shelter to the
erchants window that the wooden avn
gave, and more, since while they are
Of the same width, the outer
much lower than is possible
the cd style; that, in fact, the iron
aing suspended is superior in all re-
sets to the post awnings-this is proof of
e pudding by the eating. There is no
lplsion to erect iron awnings; the
operty-owner may cover the iron frame

with wood or with canvas if he chooses
only he must not erect the old style of at
tachments to the building, that really
amount to an addition to the house, and
actually obstruct traffic, to say nothing of
their offensiveness to architectural tastes.
There is no reason why the merchant
should not have drop-curtain depend
from the edge of an oyerhanging, as well
as from post awning. Finally, if the
movement to GUST the old style awning is
"crank movement" the verdict of the
people will be, "blessed be the cranks, and
may they prosper and succeed in their en-
terprise." There is no reason why the
light metallic rolling screens, that are
common in the East, should not be intro
duced in this city. They have the de-
cided advantage of being easily put out of
the way in the case Of fire or of heavy
storm, and may, by simple mechanism
be rolled up against the building in sea-
sons when there is no need for awning
shelter, or when, on dark days, the front
| light" fails.
