The question has been asked the As torlan: What are the Confederate dis- J abilities which congress has so tardily -j moved ? In under the stress of reconstruc-i Hon and the making of other adjustments ; as to the people of the Southern states,! congress passed the following law: i "No person who has served in Anyi rapacity In the military, naval cr civil j service of the so-called Confederate I states, or of either of the states In insur-! rectlon during the late rebellion, shall be ' appointed to any position in the army ot the United States." Iast week, under the impulse of the Venezuelan outburst, B'-nator Hill Intro duced a bill reieallng the act, and on the following Tuesday the senate passed It, the Republican senators beln fore most In consenting. It went through the house with equal celerity, and thus the last of the disabilities lmpos-d upon those who had served the Confederacy ha.e been removed from the statute bioks. - The disabling statute was, of course, Imed solely at those who had h,ld posi-i tlons of Influence and power, nnd had j more or less directed the foi turns of the ; states ln rebellion. Gracious 'tis the repealing act may be, It can scarcely affect these, for they have passed or are rapidly passing away. The clash cf arms will rvr ngal.i call them to bottle. But tl-!e are doubtless many who, entering the Contcdertl erv be at M to year of aire, will be glad to see th disability removed, even though suro-footed time be erecting another bar rier against them. It is not the mere utility of the tepcal that Is to be praised, but that Its adop tion proves, better than mere wonls ot kindness, how entirely effaced and fot irotten is the bitterness between the sees tlons that existed for so many years, cnl mlnatinit In war. OKX. MU.KS IS Aid. RIGHT. A Washington dispatch published in Saturday"! Astorlan says that the presl dent and secretary of war aje sTlnir to censure General Miles for "his indiscreet talk" in a recent lecture at Philadelphia In reire.rd to the weakness of the country from a strategic standpoint. If General Miles were to ,ti oir the country lecturing on this subject and mg lectlng other matter he would deserve to be "called down," but he has done nothing as yet for which he should be censured. As one American eiliten he i has told millions of other American eltl j tens some facts of which they should not : be kept In Ignorance. The coast defences ! ol the country re In a wholly InsuRi I cient condition to protect our ports. The I people ought to know It. If neither the ; president nor the secretary of war has had the courage to tell them the facts, i it Is much to General Miles' credit that he did have the courage to do It. He Is a man who fought his way to the tv i from the ranks of the volunteer army and Is not a slave to the theory that an officer should not open his mouth about matters I which are of vital Importance to his fel j low countrymen. ' It is to be hoped that what General ! Miles has said will stir up the people to ' the necessity of Immediate action. They i know that he Is not an alarmist or seek J lug to make thlnss seem worse than they ; are, but is telling the disagreeable truth. : Therefore the people should bring pressure I to bear on their congressmen and demand ' of them that they should at once attend I to a long neglected duty and give the country better guns, better protection, more sailors, more tonedo boats, and more Ironclads, and lose no time about It. The Portland Argus says: "The failure of Congressman Hermann to secure the sppointmenl as chairman ot ; the house committee on rivers and har-i bora is a reverse to one of Oregon's fond- , est hopes. There is nets! of a vast '. amount of work to Improve the water' ways, which would he of Invaluable good . to t)reon. and to Washington a!s and. of which Mr. Hermann Is fully inform. 0.

Reports to the weather bureau -.1 Wash ington show that a total of 3. vessels. from ocean steamers to fishing smack.

The report says: "It Is fair to ; conclude from the experience of those vessels which encountered them that an immense saving in property and very probably in lives must have thereby re-1 suite"!."
