'hie members of the Republican Execu
tive Committee will hold a meeting in
this city today. It has been suggested
that an effort is bib° made to induce the
Committee to inaugurate the immediate.
opening of the political canvass, by fixing
a very early day for the assemblage of
our Convention. But we incline to think
that this proposition will not receive the
enaction , of the Cointnittee. It is very
justly considered that Om elections
of this year are to Ire entirely local,
there being no State . ticket in the field,
which Act obviates the usual necessity for
such an early organization of the party, as
the exigencies of State and Nationajpoll
tics always justify. While tho lecal
ticket will have due consideration for its
importance, and its success will be ade
quately provided for, our most thoughtful
friends, deprecate the suggestion that the
„tarty lines should be dressed up at this un
necessarily early hour, arraying the
people it once for a contest, with its re
suiting excitement., to be protracted for "
nearly live months.
The situation, this veer, is fortunately
such that the'people wish to improve it
for a temporary rest from needless agita
tions. It will be time enough by-and-bye
to make the county nominations . and or
gantleo fe , r theissuccess Were this,coun
te mly sense a debateable field for par
tisans, there would be more propriety in
an earlier preparation for the canvass.
But since no doubt is . felt, in any quarter
whatever, of the Republican control of the
situation, there is a general dettirte among
the people to be spared, as long as May be
expedient, from the exciting labors of an
organized canvass.
.It is well to - give to alicandidatesthe wid
est latitude in feeling the public pulse, to
ascertain their individual strength before
deciding to submit their names to the Con
vention. Let the field be thoroughly gone
over by the aspirants themselves, and give
finial for the latest developments having a
political interest for the people! The Con.
lontions . would then assemble, to meet all'
. the questions of the day, and with better
information as to the wants and strength
of the candidates I...entirely.
Since this is neither a President's nor a
(.4overner'a year, it is plain to every
judgment that we ought to be as long tut
possible exempt from the electioneering
latent only customary In those campaigns.
Pray, gentlemen of Ste Committee, give
to your , constituents the leisure which
the situation justifies—time to rest, to
think, to weigh .the merit.' of candidates,
and to assemble: at last, fully posted in
all the personal and political questitnn on
' which the Convention. are to pronounce
We are thus much more likely to secure
good tickets, which we can then run
through the October ordeal with a rush.

The Congregationiliats had a grand
Convocation at Chicago some 'days ago.
The first service was the inauguration of
Professor Hyde, as Professor of Pastoral
Theology. and Special Studies in the
Chicago Theological - Seminary. In the
evening, Dr. D. 0. Haven, the distinguish
ed President of the Northwestern toiver
sity, under the Methodist Episcopal
Church, at Eviriston, near Chicago, de
livered an exceedingly happily conceived
address before the Society - of Inquiry,
connected with the Seminary. On the
nest day the Triennial Convention com
menced its sittings. The roll showed
that four brio ' dred , delegates were present
from nine States.. The afternoon of the
day following a grand Memorial meeting
took place, taking ari its roll the fist of
members of the Triennial Convention,
whieh was swelled to five hundred and
fifty. This meeting Was commemorative
of the landing Of the Pilgrims In 1620, two
hundred and fifty years ago. Addressees
;
were delivered by liev.Dr. Baeon,of New
Haven, Connecticut, and Rev. Dr. Poet, of
St. Louis, recanting the history and sue.
ores of Congregationalism. The Cooven.
lion, in a series of resolutions, ordered
the erection of a Congregational House
in Boston for library purposes, and to be
• home for the benevolent societies of the
Church, recognised the great value of the
Common School forinded on the basis of
God's holy Word, and recommended the
establishment of a National Annual, or
Triennial Conference, on the- principle
simply of fellowship. The report of the
Special Committee seta forth the great
work accomplished by the Pilgrim
Fathers, in the principles they advocated,
and illustrated in their lives by patience,
humility and obedience. The closing
services of "Convention Week" were in
connection with the graduate. exercises of
the Theological Seminary; Fourteen
young men graduated,six of whom made
addressee.

OUR COXIIERCILI: INTERESTS.
Speech of Hon. J. S Negley
The bill to revive the navigation arid
commercial interests of the United States,
being under consideration in the House,
on Wedneaday \ tho 11th inst., Mr. Negley
spoke in its support, and at great length.
Our limited s p are confines an to the re
publication of oily the salient points of
his address. He said •
Mr. SPr.AKEK: . The national gravity of
the measure under consideration may be
realized by contemplating the fact that the
decline of our merchant marine hat actu•
ally arrested the attention of the entire
civilized world, and the magnitude of the
public interest involved imposes upon
this Congress the imperative duty of
seeking a solution of the• causes and pro.
riding speedy and commetumrate remedies
of this calamity.
Although the subject -has been ably
discussed by the . eloquent chairman of
the committee, Mr. Lynch, I turn to it
in obedience to the highest sense of duty
devolving upon me as a representative.
I believe in the 'Mom, " Whatsoever
commands the sea, commands the riches
of the world, and consequently the world
Itself.
I also believe and assert that a well.
organised and efficient merchant marine
is &pally ae essential to- the political econ.
omy and eafety of our national independ
epee as the• construction of milroada
nabs, and other means of intercommunica
tion.. .
•You Mn go to the crowded quays of
many of the commercial emporiums of
the world without beholding the flag of
nor cmmtry at the masthead of s single
vessel; and to give greater eignificance to
this deplorable fact, I quota the following
extract from a letterl have lately received
from his Excellency, Mame Bey, Envoi
Extraordinary and Minister Plenlpolentt•
ary of Turkey: ,
-All that I can tell now for the Interest
of the maritime power of the United
State -la raringe fact,-which i•-to be

only one has been under the flag of the
American Union..""
He referred to the rapid strides made
by England and Franco within the last
few years in the way of augmenting , their
commercial strength and wealth, and
showed that unless powerful steam lines
of our own across the Atlantic shall soon
be establiahed, thoseemintries will be out
of the reach •of our competition. The
speaker quoted front tables of the tonnage
of merchant vessels of the • United States
during the twenty years ended June MI,
1809, to show that there wan a time when
our commercial marine was second to
none inextent,
According to the official returns the de
crease of. tonnage •in 160. as compared
with 1888, appears to be 207,117 tons.
RicaTe.l7 humiliating forme to fi nd that

-mill
ions less of population, and were greatly
inferior in industrial facilities and resour
ces titan at present, we built nearly If not
quite an many tons of American vessels as
we have in 1869.
It is alarming to observe that since DAR
our tonnage is steadily decreasing, ao that
its der-line in the single year from 1868' to
trigs reached the formidable figure of 200,
000 tons.

than two hundred thousand American Bail ,

eleven millions of toni, and • supporting.
over four hundred thousand alien seamen,
seems:utterly incredible to. me;; and yet
it is a stubborn fact; attested by official
statistics.
Nor is this all; today there is nut • ilin•

grant such legislative assistance as will
meet the emergencies of the times.
By the policy of liberal subsidies, the
Steam piscine of England has increased
411 per cent.: that of France 613 per cent.;
and that of Austria 631 per cent., dining
the past twenty yearn, while our steam
marine, in conw.iptence of our adverse to
policy, has increased only 210 per cent.
during the same period.

The higlicat piddle, social and political
considerations arc at stake, and I cannot
but think that this Government is readv
. . . . .
to perfony its part in the patriotic work
of establiehing the supremacy of our flag
on
.the sea.and of recovering all oai just
onnnnercial advantages-
Animated by thin spirit and urged by
these views,. dr.. peaker. I advocate
prompt end liberal legislative action on
the part of the Government and the States
in favor of any and all enterprises which
tend to revive our ship-building, especially
the construction of large ocean steamers,
which lead to an early enlargement of our
commerce and naval authority.
Now Is our time for action'.
It would be unwise, however, to enter
upon the arena of competition on a point
where the forces of our rivals are the
strongest; where our hope for success
would bo the weakest, and our sacrificed
and struggles at the beginning of the race
the heiviest.
The novelty of the Suez canal has not'
yet given the European commercial lords
time to concentrate their squadrons in that
direction. No permanent markets of ape•
cific staplesitave yet been eetablished,and
especially the direct Mute between the
Mediterranean and our ports is as yet free.
This is the field upon which WO can win.

Mu value of our imports end exports
rem and to countries contiguous to the
new route exceeded in 18116 and 1869 one
tenth of our entire commerce, and this
valne will more than tripple itself if we
establish a powerful line of first-class
steamers plying between the Mediterra
nean and Eastern markets and our ports.
At present there is but one feeble direct
foreign line of twelve small steinter. be
tween Gibraltar and New York, and yet
these boats, of only twelve hundred and
fifty tons each, import weekly thirty-six
thousand boxes of lemons and oranges
besides other freight, and they have even
. begun to carry immigrants to America.
The' general realization of our naval
weakness, of the diminution of our mer
chant marine, and of the humiliating dis
placement of our flag, has Caused the in
troduction of several legislative proposi
tions for they consideration of this Con
grem, and valuable suggestions stay be
found in most of them, and in all them is
o cognate appeal for immediate and sub
stantial old from Government.
cheeriull; admit that the , bills pre-
settled by the committee, with others
contemplating money subsidies, contain
some wise provisions, and have been
ably advocated; yet I am constrained to
oppose any method calculated to deplete
the national treasury by the immense
sums required by annual money subsidies.
It is clearly the duty of Congress, as it
has been tho policy of 'the Administra>
tion, to reduce expenditures, and abolish,
as rapidly as found consistent with the
public Interest, all war taxes and imposts.
Let the subsidies be paid in wild land

In reference to our cotton exports and
the subject of immigration, he mid the
entire demand of cotton all over the world
amounts now to over eta and a half mil
lions of bales per annum, and the aggre

This Inadequacy of product has been
caused by the abort-Comings of the lndfan
and Egyptian article in quantity and qual
ity, and it is but natural that we should
supply the deficit by our next crop. Our
capacity for doing this Is MOSS than am-.
ple; we could, if necessary, raise the en

would still be remunerative, even if such

the price of this staple to ante-wifigures

It is contemplated-In the bill, which In.
cites your attention and approval. Mr.
Speaker, that the ships of the proposed
line shall' be constructed, according to
models dictated by dol . :levy Department,
from materiale exclusively the . production
of the United States; that they shall be
built in American ship yards and machine
shops, and that they shall be adaptable
alike for cheap conveyance of passengers;
merchandise, and mails in, pewee, and for
defense and aggressive measures In time
of war or public danger.
It is further provided that alt vessels of
this line shall be framed of iron and pro
pelted by steam.
The advantages of iron over wood
en vessels consist in 'their greater rigidi
ty, durability, buoyancy rapacity, and
strength, and numerically , expressed
amount to more Sian fifty per cent.
The cost of building iron vessels in the
United States, because of the patronage,
bestowed upon England. exceeds according
to rellablii estimates, the riding prices
on the Clyde by about thirty-thrce per
cant.
The Deleveare river, near (1-tester and
the Ohin, near Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvan.
ia,moulti afford the - most ample facilities
for the construction of iron shipyards. All
the material required could be found at
or cheaply tiansported to these points, at
the manic time all needed accommodations
for the workmen; or if other localities
were found preferable then the iron plates
and other metal parts could he made after
approved models and shipped without
waste and in required quantities — from our
great workshops to the ship-yards. •
The English vessels are inferior to ours
in quality of material and construction.
' Recent experiments upon the Compare.
tire merits of American and English
ship-plate have given the following re-
Average tensile strengn of English
specimen, 4.1,500 pounds per square inch.
Average tensile strength of American
specimen, 45,272 pounds per square-inch.
This difference in favor of American
material amounts to fully nine per cent.
and it is acknowledged that as soon make
revival of our shipbuilding and construc
tion of_imn propellers refuridshesl our
slops with an ample sopply of tools, and
machinery, the advantage of labor skilled
in routine will be so great that our ex
peruses will be reduced by another seven
per cent. I .
On account of these and other additional
causes, I
_do not: hesitate to assert that
iron vessels can be built on the Delaware
even now at not over five per cent. more
than In Europe, and that our ship-builders
and iron manufacturers In New York;
Philadelphia, Chester, Wilmington, Pitts
burgh, Wheeling, Cincinnati, and other
favorable locations will become willing

and. I doubt not, successful competitors
with those on the Clyde, Tyne, Mersey, or
Thames.
In addition's() these advantages, the
immediate construction of the come=
plated line will substantial yard economi
cally augment oar naval pc wer.
It is no secret what sere sea the Penin.
inter and thiental Company has rendered
to England In the Crimean war. This
company poesessed a Beet of fifty-seven
•steamers, with an aggregate tonnage of
84,000 tons.and with these means she con
veved 60,000 men, 20,000 officers, and 12,-
041 horses, besides artillery carriages and
other war • material, with time and des
,,
patch to the sent of war.
, In the Intliari'mutiny she lies rendered
equally important services.
It is also a historical fact of the highetlt
importance what was dons by the Cunard
line in the impudent "Trent afftdr." "Her
steamers were in readiness niftiest at `a
da'y's notice to carry 10,000 men to Cdnada
against oar Republic. ' I
We know, also, what services out mer
chant marine has done • in our late war.
What would we have % dnne withant its
magnificent tmnspoßM How could we
have enforced our blockade with Out the
aid of our armed merchantmen.
it is scarcely possible, Mr. Speaker, that
any bill introduced in this House can com
mend itself by more sound features of pm
litical economy and statesmanship than
that now under consideration. •
• lam aware there are opponents to it;
some advocate the equipment of ear mer
chant navy on the Clyde, others Idiscoun
tenance subsidies in any shape, and again
others sneer at any pioneer movement of
industry or commerce. Such men resent
ble in intelligence and foresight those
customhouse officers In Liverpool. who,
In 1784, seized thii - first shipment of Alper
in= cotton under the belief that the cotton
could not be grown except in British Weet
India, or their private interests are so
linkedrith the present prelpgatives of
the Enklish flag that they are blinded
against our public benefit.
lam supported, however, in toy views
and advocacy of subsidies in favor of the
speedy establishment of the Mediterrane
an and Oriental Steam Nivigation Comp&
nr, not only by le ions of our own citizens
of all sections and vocations in life, but
also by the sympathy and incitement of
all nations directly or indirectly interested
in the Mediterranean trade—England alone
errepted-
HP introduced letters front distinguish
ed. representatives of several commercial
powers, highly commending and advising
the establishment of the lines in quee- .
' . He then' continued:
Letters from the first commercial houses
of Lisbon, Cadiz, Malaga, Barcelona, Mar
seilles, then., Leghoru,Mesaina, Brindbil,
Trieste, Constantinople, Port Said, Alex
andria, and .Algiers, have been received
by the company of this steamship line,
and leading journals of Europe advocate
the enterprise.
The Swiss Government is so anxious for
the achievement of- a line of steamers
from this country to Genoa, that she has
i offered $20,000 as contribution for She
transportation of her mails.
Egypt has volunteered either to take
stock in the company or to give a direct
subsidy.
Greece would, in similar manner, con
tribute • toward. organizing a direct and
continuous intercourse by Meant with our
country. • •
Other countries will use still greater ef
forts to make this important enterprise a
complete success; in fart,• the combined
interred manifested justifies the expecta
tion that this American steam line not only
will be lucrative and highly beneficial,'
bet that it will be the powerful - vanguard
of similar American ventures on every sea.
• • • • • • •
When consuflimatclf, this Work will be
come unquestionably a sublime element
of onward progress, indicating the genies
of the energized millions of free men,
who, under the inspirations of Christianity
anti peace, are in this liberal epoch enter
lag upon a career of material development.
which aggregates the Sam of individual
successes in majestic forms of enterprises
epandleled in the history of the world.
