members of Trinity Lutheran Church, of
which Rev. John C. Baker was then pastor
hold a social gathering, and conversed on
the prop - lay of opening a Mission, School
In the Northwestern part of the city; and
resolved to make the attempt, if the vestry
of Trinity Church would assent to it. In
March following, that body gave permis
sion to the Sunday School Society to ostab
llsh in the Northwestern part of the city a
School to bo known as the Lutheran Sun
day School. The Lancaster School Board
tendered the use of ono of their School
Houses on Mulberry street above Orange,
and the Sunday School was soon afterwards
opened with twenty two scholars with the
Rev. J. S. Crumbaugh, (who was at that
time principal of the High School), as
Superintendent. In January, 1853, Dr.
Baker preached his farewell sermon, in
Trinity Church. After his resignation the
friends of a new church again agitated the
subject, and before the arrival of tho new
pastor, Mr. Krotel, they had . resolved to

School. Studied theology with the Rey.
Dr. John C. Baker; was licensed to preach
by the Pennsylvania Synod in 1853, and
was elected pastor of St. John's shortly
afterward.
The first recorded meeting was held on
the 'ld of April, 1853, when it was resolved
by those present to constitute themselves
nucleus forth° organization ofa new Luther
an Church, On the 18th of Slav following,
they appointed a committee to * draft a con
stitution and by-laws, and another to solicit
subscriptions ter the erection of a church
edifice. On the 11th of J une, on motion of
G. M. Zahrn, the church was unanimously
named "STJouis's EVANOELICAL Ll:Tit/M
-AN Cnuncii." The little congregation
worshipped generally in Fulton Hall, or
the lecture room of the Moravian Church.

was pushed vigorously forward, and on the

opened for services, Dr. Krotel preaching
the sermon. On the 11th of December,
1854, the entire building having been corn
pleted,was consecrated with the usual cere
monies, a number of clergymen and a Very
large congregation being present. The
audience-room teas at that time one of the

On the girth of May. 1855, the Church
Council passed a resolution, requesting
honorable dismissal from their connection
with the Pennsylvania Synod, a body with
which the congregation had little sympathy
or doctrinal agreement. Synod at first

session the year following, revertsd the

In the month of ()ember, 18511, Rev. Lewis

Mr. Crum Laugh, elected assistant pastor,
which position he held about six months,
resigning in June, 1857.
Deprived by continued ill health of the

Motto SUPERSTITION.—A correspondent
at Spring harden, tins county, sends us the
following:
I noticed in the inteltigenrcr of the 15th
inst., the account of money seekers at Sale
Ilarbor. Something has transpired, in this
place, fully as ignorant. On the night of
tine Ituth inst., the house of Mr. —, was
entered and robbed of $7O and a tine watch,
worth at least to.). There is living in this
place, an old Gernian man who pretends
that he can bring back stolen goods, so he
was empl nyed by Mr.— to bring back his
watch.. The old man prepared an old
wagon wheel and a few other instruments,
in Mr. —'s yard, and, while ho was to
turn this wheel, the thief was to come with
the watch; he was to do so three nights in
succession, and on the third night he must
come. Well, the poor old man stood turn
ing his wheel all night the first night, but
no thief returned; and the second day some
ono took away some of his fixings, but he
still turned, both the second and third
nights, and its yet, no watch has been re
turned. So much for this foolish supersti
ion.
Lanus Hous.—Dr. John Besehler, re
siding in Maytown, has recently slaughter
ed a hog, which when dressed, weighed 635
pounds. . .
Mr. William Bullar, residing In the same
place, has also slaughtered a hog, sixteen
months old, which weighed when dressed
628 pounds.
Amos Souder, residing In Manor twp.;
recently slaughtered a hog, aged ten
months, that weighed 440 pounds.
E bill making the Solicitor of Lanms
ter county elective by the people, has passed
both Houses of the Legislature, and will
doubtless become a law.
ELECTED.-Mr. A. G. Landis has been
elected Moral Instructor to servo at the
Poor House and Prison, at a salary of 3300
per annum'
TIM LANCASTER WEEIMY/INTELLIGENCER; WEEINEK)..A.Y; MARCH .2, 1870:
AB OLD - CrinzEN. of Larzcesizza Coo:T
-im—The PayetteCcitinty Genius of Liberty
is publishing memoirs of : the early settlers
and prominent citizens of that county. The
bait - number contains a skinchof Hon. John
Sniffle, who was at' - one time a prominent
citizen of Laniaster 'County', from which
we take the following extracts
Mn StniliAwai'stnative of Ireland, and
came to Atherica when a young man, short
ly.before the ontbieak of the Revolution,
but in what year we cannot ascertain. He
settled in Lancaster county . , Pa., and at
once espoused the cause of American liber
ty. He rapidly acquired the 'confidence of
his copatriots, and soon became a leader in
the resistance which they resolved and ex
ecuted against the tyrennies of the King
and Parliament.
Being one of tho Committee of Safety of
Lancaster county, we find him, in June
1776, a member of the Provincial Confer
ence of County Committees of Pennsylva
nia at Philaihilphia, which declared formal
ly the sundering of the ties which hitherto
bound the colony to the parent power, by
resolving "to form a now Government for
this Province, upon the authority of the
people only." This conference called and
provided for the Convention which formed
our first State Constitution—that of 1776.
In 1778, and again in 1779, he was elected
one of the Representatives of Lancaster
county in the Assembly, of which he was
an active and useful member.
Having married Miss Janet Porter, a
daughter, we believe, of CoL Thomas Por
ter, a distinguished citizen of Lancaster
county, he was induced, in 1780, to seek a
home In the West for his rising family. In
that, or the subsequent year, he removed
to Fayette, then 'Westmoreland county ;
and after looking round fora while, event
ually bought an Improvement from old
Joseph Huston, on the north side of the
Yough river, about five miles below Con
nellsville, where he settled anti where he
henceforth resided until hie death. He
perfected his title to the tract—about 4W
acres, in 1780. It was held by the family
until recently,. and Is now owned by Stew
art Strickler, Geo. Dawson, and others.—
The Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad
passes through it.
Mr. Sniffle's energies and good sense
soon gave him prominence in Fayette
county. In 1784 he became the first elected
member of Assembly from Fayette, and
was re-elected in 1785. In 1789, Mr. Smile
was, with Albert Gelatin chosen to repro
sent Fayette in the State Convention which
framed the Constitution of 1790. In 1790,
Mr. Smile and John }loge, of Washington,
were elected the lirst State Senators from
the District composed of Fayette and Wash
ington counties. The term for which he
was elected was four years; but having, in
1792, been elected to the third Congress of
the United States, which was to meetin De
cember, 1793, he resigned the last year of
the Senatorial tern,
In 1798 Mr. Sniffle was re-elected - to Con
gress. In 1001 Fayette and Greene were
made the 9th Itistriet, from which Mr.
Sniffle was successfully returned in 1802-
'4-'0 -'B-'lO- 'l2. He died at the city of Wash
ington, while attending the second session
of the twelfth Congress, on the 29th of De
cember, 1812, and was, on the 31st, interred,
with the customary honors, in the Con
gressional Cemetery, where his remains
yet repose, designated by one of the uniform
monuments which Congress erects to de
ceased members, even though their bodies
be removed.
Tie E I.ll' I{OADS.—A correspondent of
the Inquirer writing from Burt twp., this
county, says:
The importance of good roads cannot be
denied when we consider that they are
liable to be used by every citizen. Road
making should be better undbrstood
the community at large. Farmers are
deeply interested in good roads. Easy
access to market and facilities for commu
nication are of great value, often materially
affecting the price of land and its products.
The difference between traveling through
deep mud at two miles per hour, with half
a load, and over a line road at five miles
per hour, with a full load, should not be
forgotten. In the absence of such facilities
time richest productions of nature are com
paratively valueless.
',lr. Aaron Hartman, the superintendent
of the iron ore mines, at the Green Tree,
in this township, says they will have to
stop on account of the condition of the
roads; the expense of transporting being
too great. 't•his should not be. Some
means should be found to bring this valu
able production to market without consum
ing its value in transportation. Few
placos in the county present such valuable
features in the material line as the south
eastern townships. The valleys and hills
are full of different kinds of valuable ores,
and ifs good turnpike was built it would
add greatly to the value of this part of the
county. Lot the citizens meet and erganizo
a company to build a pike, and I have no
doubt it will pay them handsomely in due
time.
NEW CtiUNTY SEAT.—TiIe Wilmington
COMMerCiat says there have been, fora long
time, dissatisfactions among the people of
Chester county, on arecount of their dis
tance from, and had lllefing of access to West
Chester, and movements have repeatedly
been talked of to form new counties. One
of these was proposed in the upper end, to
take certain townships trout Lancaster and
Berks, as well as front Chester. Another
project was to form a new county out of the
Southeastern townships, and embrace some
of Lancaster, making Oxford the seat of
justice. But It is now believed that if the
county buildings and business were located
at Coatesville, the means of communication
with all quarters would be so complete that
these movements would he willingly
abandoned.
Tut: following is a copy of a bill which
has been introduced into the Senate relative
! to the Commissioners of Lancaster county:
SECTION I. Be it enacted, That the
county Commissioners, in the county of
Lancaster, shall within thirty days-after the
passage of this aet, and any Commissioner
hereafter elected in said county shall before
he enters upon the duties of his office, give
bond in the HUM of $5OOO, with sureties to
toe satisfaction of the Judges of the Court
of Common Pleas of said county, in open
court, conditioned for the faithful perform
ance of the duties of his office, for a just
account of all moneys that may come into
his hands, or under his control or behalf as
Commissioner, to the delivery to his suc
cessor in office, all books, papers, accounts
and other things held in the right of his
office, and for the payment to his successor
of any balance of money belonging to the
said county remaining in his hands, or
subject toris control MS Collllll6ltilMler of
the county aforesaid, which bond shall be
taken arid acknowledged before the Judges
of the Court of Common Pleas of said comi
ty, and tiled in the Prothonotary's office.
THE Village Record says that at a recent
sale of personal property in West White
land twp., Chester county, 250 bushels of
wheat sold at 05 rents a bushel. This is
only 77 rents in gold, with gold at 1.20. The

The Indintet—A Desperate Fight—Over
One Hand red Indians Hulled--Stealing
Expedition.
OMA 11A, Feb. 23.-.-A late letter front Fort
Sully reports that Little Swan, a Min ne.
,conga Sioux Indian, just arrived at the
Cheyenne agency, near Fort Sully, gives
the particulars of a desperate light s lfetween
about five hundred Sioux and Crow In
dians, about the middle of January, above
the mouth of the Yellow Stone river, on the
Missouri. It appears that a party of thirty
Crows came on foot to steal horses from the
Sioux, and met two of the latter tribe, one
of whom was killed and one wounded. The
latter managed to eseape,and gave the alarm
to a Sioux village. The warriors of this
settlement mounted horses at once, and
proceeded to a place where a body of Crows
had fortified themselves on Hart Butte.
The Sioux charged upon the position twice,
but were repulsed with a loss of five killed
and twenty wounded. The last assault WWI
made about sundown by the chief Spotted
Eagle, who WAS killed. At this time the
Sioux managed to overpower the Crows,
and slaughtered tvcry ono of them in a
hand-to-hand conflict, which lasted for
nearly an hour. The Sioux lost seventeen
killed and nearly eighty wounded. Oyer
a hundred of the Crows were killed.
The letter also says that the Ogallalahs
have sent out parties nn a stealing expedi
tion to the Platte. All the Indians arriving
at the Cheyenne agency say that John
Richards a renegade half breed, has a great
deal of influence and is doing all ho can to
make the Indians hostile to the whites.
The Haney Diamond
The famous Sancy diamond, as it is as
serted, is now for sale at a jewelers's, in
Calcutta. It weighs 106 carats, and belonged
originally to Charles the Rash, Duke of
Burgundy, who wore it in his hat at the
battle of Nancy, where he was killed. The
diamond was taken from his body by a
Swiss soldier, who sold it to a clergyman
for a gold florin. It then passed into the
hands of Anton, King of Portugal, who
sold it for 820,000 to the Baron de Sancy.
In the course of ownership, it passed to
James 11, of England, who sold it to Louis
XIV for 31'25,000. At the French revolution
it disappeared, but came to light in 1035,
when it was bought by Prince Paul Demi
doff for $.100,0110. Since that lilac it has
probably traveled from Russia into Asia
and thence through ilindostan to Calcutta.
The mania for possessing precious stones
among Eastern princes is very great, and
the presence of the "Sancy diamond" is
not at all increditable. This diamond has
changed owners at every conceivable valu
ation, from a few dollars to four hundred
thousand, the price depending either on the
ignorance of the owner, or the avidity and
the wealth of the purchaser.
The Heaviest Drinking yet.
The Assessor of the Second Virginia dis
trict recently directed a gauger to inspect
a quantity of apple-brandy which had been
reported as distilled by a certain party in
Southampton county, in that State. On
repairing to the still ho was informed that
the amount distilled-148 gallons—had been
drank by the family of the distiller, includ
ing his wife, mother, two girls, and four
sons, in forty-five clays, and that had no
spirits for inspection. There was no inten
tion of fraud ; the party paid the tax, and
his neighbors asserted that during the time
specified the entire family were constantly
under the influence of liquor. The assessor
also states that such an occurrence is not
uncommon, but the quantity consumed in
this case exceeds anything that has come.
nader his observation.
Tbe Cosineeneat
The Connecticut Democracy, in State
Convention assembled nominated the fol 7
lowing ticket:
For Governor—jamei E. English.
For Lieutenant Goyernor—Jutins Botch-
For Secretary of States—Thomas M.
Walker. -
• -.• .
For Treasurer—Charles M. Pond.
For Comptroller—Seth S. Logan.
The following platform was unanimously
adopted.
Resolved, That the Democracy of Con
necticut now, as in the past, occupy the
proud position of the defenders of the true
principles of constitutional freedom, based
upon the equality of the States ; and for the
success of their cause rely upon the intelli
gence of the people and their devotion to
the same ideas illustrated by the example
of the fathers in the purer days of the Re
public.
Resolved, That the State of Connecticut is
to-day the same "free and Independent
State" that it has been for more. than two
hundred years, with full power to declare
who shall and who shall not be clothed with
the elective franchise within Its borders,
and when this power is forcibly taken away
and its ballot boxes subject to the hireling
soldiery of the general government the
State will have lost its boasted sovereignty
and become degraded to the position of a
conquered province.
Resolved, That the Fifteenth Amendment
(so called) to the constitution of the United
States, is in no sense an amendment to said
instrument, hut is a radical change thereof,
striking at the principle of State rights,
which lies at the base of the compact formed
by the various States in the Convention of
11'88; and its forced and fraudulent adoption
at the point of the bayonet will be the
deadliest blow ever struck at the sover
eignty of the States and the liberties of the
people.
Resolved, That the Democracy of this
State now, as heretofore, are the strenuous
advocates of a tariff for purposes of revenue
only. That the principle of ' protection for
the sake of protection"is at war with the
diversified interests of the people of the
States, and experience has shown its ten
dency to aggrandize a class In the commu
nity at the expense and to the injury of the
producing and laboring millions, taxing
their industry equally in violation of the
authority of the constitution and of the
great principle that should govern this
people in their intercourse with the family
of nations.
Rewired, That the Demueracy of Con
necticut, by the action of their State Con
vention, in 1862, denounced the legal tender
act as a Congressional usurpation, an in
fringement upon the letter and spirit of the
Constitution and in Violation of the rights
of the people of the States. In 1870, the
Supreme Court of the United States at - firms
the position a-sumed by tis in IS6I, and we
reiterate the drelaratinn that there shall be
but one currency ior the government and
for the people, and that one the constitu
tional currency, as
call
by Andrew
Jackson, and we call upon the administra
tion to aid us, by honesty and economy ilt
the public sere:co, in the restoration of that
currency to the uses of the people.
Resolved, That the language of Mr.
Dawes, of Massachusetts, in which he as
serts that in the work of government econ
omy "the House could expect no aid from
the other end of the Capitol (meaning the
Senate), or from the other end of the ave
nue," (meaning the President), should
startle the country and arouseall good men
to unite in overthrowing a profligate ad
ministration, which is confessedly ex.trav
agant and reckless, at a time when MI busi
ness interests are perishing under their
! heavy burdens and labor is being pauper
iced with intolerable taxation.
Resolved, That the bill now before Con
" gress for the purpose of changing the laws
regarding naturalization is a direct attack
upon all foreigners seeking the United
" States as a home for themselves and fami
lies ; and the present corrupt and, unprin
cipled leaders of the Republican party
having destroyed the Constitutional right
of the people of all the Stabs., robbing
them of the power to determine the status
of the citizen, now seeks to degrade the
white immigrant below the level of the
native negro.
Resslred, That the Democracy of Cornice-
Scut sympathize with- the people who
struggle for fretsloin everywhere; and
send their cordial greetings to the patriots
of Cuba, who are now valiantly contesting
for their freedom and their Hillis.
Resolved, That a direct tax levy In Con
necticut of over '.8`5.0,000, besides 8500,000
more upon Savings Banks and other cor
porations, is a larger amount than should
he taken from the people annually, and we
demand that the public burdens be dimin
ished by equality imfaxation and economy
iu the expenditures.
Resolved, That in presenting the honored
name of James E. English, as our candi
date for Governor, we do so with full con
fidence that we appeal to the best judgment
of a large majority of the people and the
sound patriotism of the State; and in the
candidates associated with him we feel as
sured that the worthy representatives or the
people and their best interests have been
selected, '
Ex-Governor English, accepted the nom
ination In the following letter:
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the con
vention:—To have been elected Governor of
the State of Connecticut ought to satisfy
any citizen's ambition. Having twice had
that distinguished honor I have felt that
propriety and duty to others required that
I should not again be your candidate; but
from your action to-day, which your com
mittee inform me was expressed with en
tire unanimity, it appears that you do not
agree with ate in that opinion. Against my
inclination, but influenced by the urgency
of friends whose kind wishes have grate
fully impressed rue, I tied there is no other
course left for me to pursue than to acqui
esce in the will of the Convention.
In again becoming your candidate I have
no new theories to propound ; all my pub
lic nets are matters of record. My opinion
in regard to State affairs are too well un
derstood to make it necessary for me to
refer to then, on this occasion. In reference
to national affairs I would say that I ant in
favor of a judieious tariff for revenue, and
opposed to a protective tariff for the sake of
protection. lAm in favor of the payment
of both national and Stale debts, and to the
utmost farthing, and of an early resump
tion of specie payments, which will settle
the whole difficulty as to the kind of cur
rency tliey shall be paid in. lam now, as
I have been since the war ended, in favor
of the restoration of all the States in the
Union to all their rights and privileges un
der the Constitution, especially the right of
representation in Congress. Until this is
done there cannot be peace or prosperity.
In conclusion I would say, in the lan
guage of the freeman's oath, when called
upon to discharge any public duty, "I shall
do it in such a manner as, in my opinion,
will conduce to the best good of this Stale,
and the United States, without the fear or
favor of any man. So help me God."
Thanking von again and again for this
renewed eviaence of your continued confi
dence and regard, I am, your most humble
and obedient servant,
JAOOO, It. laul.tsu.
Little Nine at Mrs. Grant's Reception.
WASIUNGTON, Feb. 22.
Mrs. Grant held another of her afternoon
' receptions to-day from 2to 4 o'clock. It
was by far the largest and most brilliant
of any given Bins far this season. It was
also in a way highly sensational ; for, in
stead of one, the public really attended two
reception ~ of whieln the more unexpected
was perhaps the more welcome and sign ifi
cant. General and Mrs. McClellan held
this latter, and that not only within the
halls of the Presidential mansion,
but in the famous Blue Room itself, with
Mrs. Grant and a gorgeously attired retinue
standing a cote and witnesses of the scene
from beginning to end.
It happened in this wise. The reception
was at its height. The whole suite of gor
geously furnished rooms was crowded with
people. The living tide was surging and
tossing with old-tinned restlessness through
the channels marked nut by the four rooms
and the long corrider, thrown open on occa
sions of ceremony like this for the last score
of years or more. Many had rome and bow
ed at the shrine of Presidential greatness,
nodded promiscuous greetings among the
crowd, and squeezed away through the long
files of incomers, and hail gone.
Others were left, however, to fill their
places. Mr. the President had come in late
from attending a fashionable wedding and
was at his post by the side of Mrs. the Pres
ident. The countless Dents were übiqui
tous—a power hence happy. The a ttni r was
culminating.
A carriage drawn by two white horses
drove up to the door. From it descended
a pale, delicate-looking woman, leaning on
the arm of a handsome military-looking
man. They slowly entered the outer door
and passed into the vestibule.
Somehow apassage opened for them,
where others found only an impassable
barrier. People looked, and those in front
whispered horridly to those behind. The
moment they . had passed, the open space
filled up as if by magic, and there was a
violent pushing to the front.
In a little while they had passed through
the crowd and were exchanging salutations
with the Presidential party.
Then began a scene, one long to be re
membered ; the present incumbents of the
White House will never forget it.
People forget them, or if they did remem
ber thorn, they didn't care to show it. Some
one said : "There is the man who ought to
have been President," and the sentiment
spread like wildfire.
In less time than it takes to tell it, the
scene of the reception was shifted and the
actors had changed places. General and
Mrs. McClellan were for the time being the
President and his wife ; and General and
Mrs. Grant "outsiders - -nobody.
The real President grinned and grimaced,
and, as is his habit when in social troubles
plucked at his beard. It was comical to
watch the look of chagrin and annoyance
on his face, as he in turn watched the scene
at his elbow ; but what could he do ?
The situation was desperate beyond hope,
and until his unwitting rival had quitted
the field of his triumph, he stood there in
blank despair. Relief came at last, hnw
ever; but not until the reception had come
to an end.
As General McClellan quitted the room,
thoroughly 'worn out with the terrible
hand-shaking he had undergone, Mrs. Sec
retary Fish came in—the most magnifi
cently dressed woman who has trod the
White House floor for ten years.
Mr. William M. Bohn, of Bern town
ship, Berke Co., killed a water snake,
on the 18th Inst., which measured be
tvieen land 3 fe.t In length. The snake
attempted to bite Mr. Bohn when he
attacked It.
Tire imii;cnro PCP
The President Learns that he is Worth
8100 He Orders Dent to Interview a
• j"Mack'Y in the Cincinnati Enquirer.]
Just as I was scratching my headfor sub
jects of epistolary discourse this morning,
a friend came along with a face full of
smiles, and said he, Did you bear about
that dog?" "What dog,"said I, thinking
that, perhaps, another pomter, iar perchance
a terrier, had been sent to His Excellency.
" Why, that same dog that wasent to the
President from Cleveland," Weplied that
'the last I had heard of that unfortunate
animal his fate hung suspended between
Barnum and Bologna, and it was a question
whether he should adorn a museum . or be
converted into sausages. But my friend
immediately said I was mistaken.
It was very true that the President had
concluded at first not to receive that painter,
and had sent him summarily from his
premises. Bat since then one of hisconfi
dential advisers, who was an experienced
dog fancier, had called on him and set forth
the praises of this Cleveland contribution
in glowing terms—told him he was an im
ported animal, worth one hundred dollars,
and that it was a great mistake not to ac
cept him; furthermore that the express
charge of ten dollars was an error, all the
cost of transportation having been prepaid
in fall.
The President's countenance was instant
ly overcharged with the gloom, of a con
scious blunder; he saw at a glance that he
had acted hastily in not receiving the dog;
and his first inquiry on recovering his self
poassion was as to how ho could retrieve
that false step. The dog was now the prop
erty of a colored citizen, and the occupant
of an inverted dry goods box in a back yard
adjoining the White House grounds. The
President directed Dent to proceed thither
and negotiate, if possible, for the surrender
of the animal on payment of costs.
But the colored citizen, who is said to be
an excellent judge of dogs, was not easily
persuaded into this arrangement; and at
last accounts he and Dent were discussing
the matter in a very animated and excited
style of language. But Dent was evidently
getting the worst of it.
The Decline of Our Commerce
The report of Repres@ntative Lynch on
the decline of American eonfrnerce, sub
mitted to Congress, shows from 1861 to 1866
our tonnage engaged in the foreign trade
decreased from 2,645,628 tons to 1,402,936
tons, a loss of over 43 per cent., while Great
Britain In the same time gained 986,715
tons, or more than 30 per cent. The es
timated value of the tonnage of the United
States engaged in the foreign carrying trade
In 1861, was 8108,347,748; in 1869 the esti
mated value of the same tonnage was $7O,
4 , 8.945, with a net loss in yearly earnings
of $12,819,601. Since 1853 our exports have
doubled, while the percentage carried in
American vessels has fallen from 07 per
rent. to 34 per cent. To remedy this it is
proposed to readmit vessels which sought
the protection of a foreign flag during the
war, to American registry; to admit foreign
built vessels to American registry, free of
duty, or on payment of a moderate tonnage
duty; to allow a drawback on shipbuilding
materials; to allow withdrawal of stores in
tended for consumption from bond ; to ex
empt tonnage from all except Federal taxes,
and to subsidize American steamship
