The supply of tonnage has become
more reduced during the past two weeks
but as the pirates under "Confederate"
auspices have almost swept American
tonnage from the seas, foreign bottoms
are, Mainly • reaping the advantages
which accrue from the advitteed rates,
consequent upon the present scarcity of
vessels. The most lucrative outward
freights to Europe, Such as Grain Petro
tenni, dec., have almost wholly passed
from under the American flag, and the
few "old liners" yet running to London,
Liveirpi3ol and Glasgow, are contending
unequally against vessels of other na
tions. The coastwise Trade is pretty
much all that is left to us, and this too,
is badly cut up by the circumstances of
the rebellion. In 1860 the total tonnage
of the United States, exclusive of whale
men and steamers, was 5,216,181 tons.
At the present time it is but little over a
million and a half, or, In other words,
we have lost in four years upwards of
three and a half millions of tons, by cap
tures and by transfers to other flags.
Thisis indeed a sad commentary upon
the former pre-eminence of our mercan
tile marine. With a more vigorous pol
icy on the part of the Navy Department
at Washington, we cannot but believe
that the record would have been less re
volting. One after another, In rapid suc
cession, the best ships in our merchant
marine, with their valuable cargoes, have
fallen an easy prey to the two or three
piratical marauders which the so-called
Confederates, aided by their "neutral"
friends, haveteen enabled to keep afloat
during the three or four years, without
adequate efforts having been put forth
by our constituted authorities to protect
them. The immense amount of shipping
thus destroyed could not be replaced in
several years. under the most fayorable
circumstances, even -though the rebell
ion should immediately come to an end;
and, as if to inflict still further damage
upon this great interest, Congress at the
last session imposed a tax of two and a
half per cent. on the hulls of vessels of
every class hereafter built, exclusive of
spars and rigging. This tax, when
taken in connection with the depressed
condition of the carrying trade, and the
enhanced cost of iinaterlals and labor,
virtually puts an end to ship-building.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin truly
remarks, in this connection, that "a tax
upon American shipping is a premium
paid to that of other nations to come
and take our business from us. So long
as we could build cheap ships, and our
flag was a guaranty for their protection,
we were not only able to act as our own
foreign factors, and exchange our sur
plus commodities in all the world, but
also to engross a large share of the mar
kets of the carrying trade of other Coun
tries. But when we discriminate against
our own tonnage, by increasing its cost
above that of our commercial rivals, we
wantonly surrender everything, even
our exports and imports, into their
hands.'
Political Intolerance
• The Nevi York Commercial Adoer
User administpfs the following deserved
rebuke to th&class of journals and poli
ticians which, by the virulenee of its
denucniations, would seem to regard all
political dissent from its standard as
nothing less than a moral crime. It
says:
"At another time, and in other cir
cumstances of the State, this propensity
to make moral crimes of what we con
sider political error would be simply
lamentable. Is is dangerous now, as
well as lamentable, and needs therefore
to be exposed in its true light as a coun
terpart of that odium theolagieum which
has'sent so many hundreds of men to
the stake and the dungeon for an Intel
tectual incapacity of agreement with
their executioners.
"During the past two years of the war,
while men of all shades of political opin
ion have been contributing, with equal
devotion, their lives, theie means, their
gneral support to the national cause,
the party organs of the two great politi
cal bodies, into which the nation is in
tellectually divided, have done their
best to break up this wonderful harmony
of action by dealing with political opin
ions as positive crime.
"What right has any man or any body
of men to assume for himself or for it
self in the presence of events such as
now surround this people a deeper in
terest in the issue of these events than
all the rest of the community, a keener
sense of mural obligations in regard to
them, or a diviner intuition into the
best way of discharging those ob'iga•
dons?
"Such an assumption is a proof of
mental imbecility no doubt, and in or
dinary times this would be a sufficient
reason for passing over it in silent com
passion. But it tends to moral perver
sion as well; It tends to harden the heart
as well as darken the brain; it tends to
make men the easy tools of their own
evil instincts, and of the opportunity
which great vivit convulsions offer , to
these instincts, and forthese reasons it
cannot be safely passed over now in si
lent compassion. It should 'be met in
private life, and from man to inan,

Reconstructions
Mr. Wendell Phillips having, in a re• I
cent letter, expressed the opinion that
"there Is no plan of reconstruction pos
sible within twenty years, unless we
admit the black to citizenship and the
ballot, and use him, with the white, as
the basis of States," because "there is
not in the rebel States a sufficient white
basis to build on," the New York
Times, the leading Administration paper
in that city, takes exception to this
theory of reconstruction on the follow
ing grounds:
"Now either the effects of slavery on
the negroes have been grossly misrep
resented—either the condition of a slave
has not been such as to prevent the
growth of his intelligence, in which case
much of our indignation about it has
been wasted, or else Mr. Phillips, and
at least a part of the 'Radicals,' are
anxious to arm the most ignorant and
degraded race of beings to be found in
any civilized country with the power of
completely silencing the voices of an
equal number of Northern whites long
trained in the exercise of their political
rights, and inheriting the instinct of
free Government from twenty genera.
tions of free ancestors. For to this
complexion must it come at last. , There
has been no mode as yet discovered of
providing that the consequences of each
man's vote shall only affect himself.
When an ignorant or corrupt man casts
his ballot into the box he simply neu
tralizes the vote of one intelligent and
honest man, deprives him of all share in
the Administration of public affairs; and
if ignorant and corrupt men are in a
majority, they not only use their own
right of sharing-in the Government, but
they take away that of their betters, If
we give the suffrage to a million of
Southern blacks, we virtually supply
them with the power of excluding one
million of white men at the North from
the polls. We cannot at once give them
either the training or the intelligence,
not simply to judge of the value of pub
lic measures, but to judge of the char
acter of public men; and yet if this
training and intelligence be not neces
sary, there is no good reason why the
franchise should be withheld from chil
dren and idiots—to say nothing of wo
man.
"The world abroad will ask, and may
ask, on teading Wendell Philip's plan
of reconstruction, what sort of nation
must it be which can only be saved
from destruction by gravely giving the
same weight in the decisions of the
highest and most intricate questions of
Government, and in the choice of pub
lic servants, to the voice of a negro
fresh from slavery, as that of any law
yer, scholar, soldier, or statesman in the
country. This is Democracy run mad;
for it is the open and shameless procla
mation of doctrine that nothing is
necessary to constitute a citizen beyond
a mouth, a_stomach, and a pair of legs;
and it, can come from no party ; with a
Worse grace than that which , -fors fifty

WE are daily in receipt of accounts of
depredations and even outrages commit
ted on the private rights of citizens re
siding around the suburbs of the city by
the soldiers stationed at the fortifica
tions. They roam through the country
for miles out, enter the grounds of the
country residences, and break into the
milk-houses, rob the orchards, and car
ry off chickens and even sheep and piv,
threatening to shoot any one who even
attempts to remonstrate with them.
This has been the case in Oharleratreet
avenue, on the York road, and on the
Hookstown road, and doubtless other
roads to an extent that is no longer tear
able. The soldiers have been treated
with the utmost kindness by the resi
dents, and now repay that kindness by
outrage and insnit.—Baltimore Arturri•

AN OIL LAKE IN NRINADAD.—TIie
London Times says: -There is in Trin
idad,only a mile from thn coast, a basin
ninety-nine acres, filled with asphalt,
yielding seventy gallons of crude oil per '
ton. There are also springs of asphaltic
oil in the neighborhood, and large pitch
banks on the shore. It is estimated that
the lake is capable or producing three
hundred million gallons of oil, and forty
or fifty gallons are considered equal to a
ton of coal. The Trinidad Colonist pub
lishes a memorie by Mr. Stollmeyer, of
Port of Spain, proposing the use of this
liquid for oceanic steam navigation, and
he states that he 'lnvs been, at:various
times, for these three years, suggesting
this employment of a distillate from the
pitch like of Trinidad. To oil a ship
would,not take above a tenth of the time
it takes to coal her, if pipes were em
ployed, and the oil would not take up
above a fourth of the space occupied by
coals. He recommends that it be suppli
ed at once as an auxiliary to coal, by
throwing jets over the burning mai s,but
contemplates, eventually, upright tubular
boilers, the liquid fuel to be supplied as
fast as it can be converted into flame.
Of course, the North American oil
spring are another source of supply."
LINEAGE OF TILE SIGNERB.—On look

Thornton, Rutledge, Smith and Taylor;
two of Scotland, Wilson and Wither
spoon; one of Wales, Lewis, and one of
England, Robert Morris. There are
also three of direct Welsh origin, Wil

Morris; three of Irish, Carroll, Read and
'McKean; two of Scotch, Hooper and
Livingston; one of ,Swedish,; Morton; one.
of Norman, Bartlett, and one of Abstrian,
Lynch. The others are of old English
stock generally, though there is Welsh
blood in the ancestry, of John Adams,
Jefferson, Hewes, (probably,) Clymer,
Givinnett, (originally Gwinnedd,) and
perhaps Robert Morris, as I am inform
ed by a gentlemen better informed upon
genealogical matters than myself.
Morris was born in Lancaithire, near
Wales, and from the name, there can
not he much doubt of his Welsh origin:
Clymer and his. wife, the clittighter of
Reese Meredith, (origlisallylferedidd,)
were both of Welsh origin. Theisigners
from New England were geneittlly di
rect descendants frona ithe

,---I have been afflicted many years
with severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold
feet and hands, and a general disordered system.
Physicians and medicines failed to relieve me.
While visiting some friends New York who were
using Plantation Bitters they prevalled.upon me
to try them. I commenced with a small wine
glisten, after dinner. Feeling better by degrees,
In a few days I was astonished to tlnd the cold
ness and cramps had entirely left me, mid I could
sleep the night through, which I had not done
for years. I feel like another being. My appe
tite anu strength have also greatly improved by
the use of the Plantation Bitters.
