V. HAIAORAX. Editor. Coast Defenses. In his annual report to the Sec retary of War. Gen. "Wright, Chief of Engineers of the United States army, calls attention to a matter that is at present being discussed by every - paper on the coast line of the Union. He says: "'The casemated works, of which our seacoast defenses are largely composed, were built when wooden walls were the only protection of guns afloat. Now ships of war are clad in armor up to two feet in thickness, and the old smooth bores have been replaced by rifled guns, the largest of which throw shot of nearly a ton weight, and which burn at each discharge nearly a quarter of a ton of pow der. While other maritime nations are adding to their already power ful navies heavilv armed ships of war, which are armed with 81 and 100-ton guns, and which cost, ex clusive of armament, more than two and a half millions of dollars, the' are building armored defenses for the protection of their own coasts. Great Britain has already more than 500 guns in position be hind armored defenses. "We have not one such gun, nor have we any armored defenses whatever. Though the United States is a peaceful nation yet, it some times happens that peaceful people can only rest secure in the posses sion of peace by fighting for it. It is not at all probable that any foreigh power will ever attempt to land troops on American soil to subjugate the country, but almost any foreign fleet could dictate its own terms to any sea coast city in the nation. Gen. Wright goes on to say: I think it is plainly demonstrat ed, not onty that reliance can be placed on no other mode of defense of our sea coast, but that fortifica tions and torpedoes furnish the most efficient, most enduring and least expensive modes for' such defenses, and I earnestly hope that Congress may be induced to grant for the next fiscal year a reason ableamount for the resumption of work on our sea coast defenses. The suggestions are most appro priate. It might also be well while the government is about it, to stop appropriating money for the repair of worthless old tubs, and build a few vessels worthy of the nation and the times. i . .. . - .: Miiiiiiiu: ii i fi ii it : t lenngajurywas the invention of hUiUTlUft Ulih TlMfJU.; an uu men, u&u none olidb appn- ; ances of modern civilization.

Then it -was consistent to ask a juryman if he had any opinion in regard to the case he was to pass upon, for unless a neighbor of either party in the ease it was al most certain that he would answer in the negative. But to day, how changed all the condit ions and customs of life! Yet that antique humbug is with us in all its fossiliferous senselessness. As it stands it is a direct bid for ignorance; for none but the igno rant could be legally found compe tent to sit in a jury in a case of any publicity. ; A. V. ALT,B. c. h. rton.

The exhibition of cotton machin ery, and of evidences of the min eral, timber and and agricultural resources of the state were, it is said, most convincing evidence in extent and quality that that sec tion of the Union is on the thres hold of a new era of prosperity and progressive success. As an offset to the alleged Ke publicax intention to have Dakota admitted at the next session of congress, it is reported that the Democrats intend introducing a bill dividing Texas into three portions and admitting each as a sovereign state, thus securing six Democratic senators. It is recorded as a unique de parture from political usage that in the late political campaign in Massachusetts mob one of the four gubernatorial candidates made a speech during the canvass, wrote a letter to influence votes, or even formally accepted the nomination. i:. c. iioi.is-:..

I 3iiPP- i - - FHinfTIVCk IVZLJS. urAi.Fi: is A Washington dispatoh of the 19th says: General Francis A. Wralker, ex-superintendent of the census bureau, has submitted a statement to the secretary of the interior containing some inteiest ing facts concerning representa tion in the nest house. Total population of states, 49,371,340. With the number of representa tives at the present figure, 293, this would give one representative to every 1C9,OSO of population. On this basis the followiug chang es in representation would ensue in the forty-eighth cengress: Ar kansas, California, Miohigan. .Mis sissippi, South Carolina ard West Tirginia gain one each; Minnesota and Nebraska gain two each, Kan sasyjaias three and Texas four; vAiabama, Illinois, Maine, Mary land, New Hampshire, Ohio, Tennessee and Vermont lose on each, Pennsylvania two, and Now York three. Other states show no change. Ix is shadowed forth a a part of .Arthur's policy that he intends making all Territorial appoint ments from the Territory in ques tion, and not from political favorites,- as has been the custom. Thii . plicy would have the prestige of novelty and the probability of suc cess.. Considerable dissatisfaction has hitherto been displayed by the appointment of non-residents to .important offices in the gift of the President, and as a matter of jus tice to fledgling sovereignties it would be well to inaugurate such s. sensible policy, as is indicated by late utterances on the part of tht executive. ASTOKIA, OB.. NOV. 18, 1881.
