M WinnLias Prance, of the shipbuild. ng firm of John Elder & Co,, In o lecture recently delivered at Glasgow, made n re- markable showlng of progress in naval architecture during the last twenty-tive years, ‘The Cunard steamer Persin, which was launched fn 1856, was tuken ns n falr specimen of theold class of transatlantic steam vessols, She was consldered whon first used the finest ocenn stenmer atlout.

THE THREE PER CENT LOAN, It beeame cvident in tho United Stales Stutes Senate Chamber early yesterday that party infhuences had been at work to unlte the Demoerats - opposition to the re- funding schemo which had been ve- vorted by the Finance Conunittes in the shape of an nmendment to the bill which liad pnssed the louse, When the Committes’s nmendment was first reported and strongly sustnined by Messrs, DBayard and Kernaw, there was nhope that party- conslderations woull be put aside and the question diseussed and e clded upon its merits, But thoculopies which Messrs Bayard and Kernan delivered upon the successful management of the finances of the present Republican Sceretary of the I'rensury were evidently galling to he partlsan majority. It may be, ‘too, that the defenso of the Nutlonal banks whieh wns nde by most of those who favored the Committee’s plan for 8l per cent excited antagonism on the Demo- cratle side. 1t 1 also llkely that Senator Bayard’s unnecessary exhibition of hostility to the sllver dollar and the Legal-Tonder act called out some feeling At all events, It Dbrought from Senntot Coke an amendment providing that nothing In this wet should disturh tho status of the legal-tenders, and {his af- forded Mr, Voorhees an opportunity to pro- duco from tho depths of hls desk a speech which he had written & year ago, when Bay- ard’s rosolution to vepeal the Legnl-Tender uet was lutroduced,—n speeeh which Voar- hees had no opportunity of delivering at that time, beenuse the resolutlon nover came be- foro the Senate for discussion. Yesterday's debato was neithor Important nor fnstruetlve, and hence it ennnot fulrly by coneluded that the diseussion ftself made any clianges tn opluion, but the Senate divided very closely on party lines all through the day, and the first wsignifieant vote revenled the partisan influences that hau been at work, They came partly from the Jouse, and were suggested by a desire to gain for the Democrats the credit of Initl- atlag the lowest rate of Interest ever adopted in this country. The umended bill came from tho Financo Commnlttee with unanimous approval, ‘I'he Democrats on that Conunit- teenro Messrd, Bayard, Kernan, Wallace, Voorhees, and Beck. Yet only two of these gentlemen, Duyard and Kernan, remalned faithful to the report. Voorhees amd Beek voted against the 8¢ mte when that question eamo up In the Senate yesterdny, and Wallace dld not vote, ow much party influence welghed may by inferred from the record of the vote. The 34 por cent vote was voled down by 34 to &, The only Democerats who voted for It were Bayard and Kernan, and the only lepublieans who voted agniust it were Looth, Ingalls, Kellogg, Suunders, and Teller, After rejecting tho amendment for 3} per cent, un mmenduent extending the mnturity of the bonds to thirty yenrs was likewise re- Jected, but the Committee's proposition that the option of redemution shall bo at the end of flve years, and that the bonds shall not be- come payable tll twenty years from date of lssue, wis adopted. The duration of the bond is certainly more favora- Ll to Its negotintion nt n rto of 3 per cent than was the ten-year term pro- posed by the House bill, The "Treasury notes woro lpft at the same thne that was fixed by the lHouss bill and the rato estab- lished at not exceeding 3 per eent, ‘I'ho most surprising fonture of the Sen- ato's action Inst night is tho retention of the substance of the fifth sectlon of the IHouse Dbill, swhieh provides that the bonds now au- thorized shall bo theonly bonds recelvablens securlty for Natlonal-bunk cirenlution. This vroposition was discussed with more or less nerimony, and tho coercive mensure was finuhy adopted by n vote of 21 to 10, It may be that It wns concluded to bo nee- essury to make bank subseriptions com- putsory in order to tind o market for tho bonds nt 3 per cent. At the same thne this provision Isin the nataro of a reflection upon the eredit of the Governmont, If such Lo Its purpose, ns well ns an Injustico to the Nutlonal banks, so far ns It oxcludes thom from the some right enjoyed by other citizens and corporations of pur- chasing the clnss of United States sceurlties which thoy may regard as wmost desirable, by compuliing them, as a condition of contlnuing the banking business, to be- come subscribers to the proposed 4 per cunt lown. ‘Fhe subssquent amendment wus adopted, which 18 designed to Iuvite popular subscriptions to the loan without the inter- ventlon of syndicates or ageuts other than those of the Government. Of courso the progress mnde with the Funding bill wns in the Committeo of the Whole, und it {8 just possiblo that somo feat- ures of tho bill may be chunged when it comes up for flunl passnge in the Senate, but this §s mnot likely, f the bl shall go to the Iouse in the shape ngreed upan yesterday it will practically only bo necessary to Secure concurrence In the extension of the duration of the bonds from ten years to twenty yours, the option remaln- fug at five yesrs. 1t can scarcely be doubdted that the Iouse of Hepresentatives will ace o | cept this extenslon, and it may be regarded ns reasonably certain that tho rofunding Tonds wil be offered to tho publle at 3 per cent.

At all events, it s currently stated in Washington that President Ilayes exhibited tinusual signs of annoyance amd temper when hio heard that Mr. Conkling had made n pll- grinmage to Mentor, presumably upon Invitn- tlon, 'I'here certainly seems to be a desireon the part of the presont Adminlstration to turn over the Conkllng war to the sueceed- Ing Administration, und Republleans of al} factlons hopoe that this may be firly averted, Under the elreumstances, Mr. Conkling will havdly ba inetined to pateh up his disagree. ments with President ayes as nmeans to securo the confirmation of the Intter’s favor- 1t for tho highest judiclal position in the Iand, Even if Mr, Conkllng were witling to consent to 80 uneven @ truce, there are other elemonts of opposition to Stanley Mattiews which ho may not be able to Intlu- ence, Thodudielary Commitico of the Sen- ate consists of Messrs, "Lhurman, MeDonald, Bayard, Garland, Lamar, David Davis, Ed- munds, and Carpenter, besldes Mr, Coukling, Most of thess gentiemen would resent any- thing In the nature of n trade ln appolnt- ments lnvolviug o position on the Supreme Boneh, and Messrs, ‘Thurman, MeDonald, Bayard, Davis, and Edmunds, o majority in the Committee, aro understood to be opposed to tho confirmation of Mr, Maithews under any elrcumstunces, for reasons that linve atready been sulliclently dotalled. 1t 18 not to be apprehended, therefore, that Mr, Mat- thows’ nume will be reported by ths Com- wmittee, nnd 1n such o easo President llayes will bave ssentred for hlmself tho blame of having proffered n triudo without huving ne- complished the desired resuit, — HOABDING OF GOLD, What beeames of the gold ? T'he New York Publlc, n paper devoted to finanelnl subjects, calls attentlon to the fuct that *gold which goes but of New York seems to stay out.” Except n slight amount received about Now Yonr's from the L'rensury in payment of in- terest, the stock of gold in New York has remained substantintly unchanged since Chrlstmas-Day, On Christmas the New York banka and the Treasury hell $131,303,123 of gold, and on the 5th of February they held S$1834,741,500, o differenco of about a quarter of u million of dollurs oniy. On the :H0th of September there were $1H,000,000 held by the Now York banks und the Treasury, but not one dollar of the $10,000,000 pald out in the menntime has ever returned, All the gold seeelved from abroad fn Uetober, No- vember, December, and January has nlso lsnppeare, The Public does not adopt the theory that this gold Is held by tho Western banka. On the 1st of October, 1850, there was lield by the Treasury and all the banks of the country, $230,016,000 of gold, und on Jaw, 1, 1881, there was held In the sume institutions 947,682,000, an fuerease of only $16,016,000 - lug tho threo months, ‘The yenrly production of gold was 834,622,000, one-fourth of which ‘way 88,350,000, nand the net hinports were $41,- B00,000; deducthig the fucrease In all the banks and in the Trensury, and no less than §83,000,000 of gold vanlshed from sight dur- ing those three months, During January not adoflar of it had returned, Whero hins ftgone? 1t i3 very evident that the guld whicl hus been neeumulnting In tho conntry for some thne I8 findiug penceful absorption In domestie ropositories. 1618 not put away In banks or savings banks, nor invested In bonds, nor stecks, nor ln speculation, In fuct, It I8 hoarded, quietly put nway In sums ranghg from $20 to $50 or $1,000, to bu kept to meot some future puymont or use. This hoardlug is kolng on ull over the country, but especlally In tho West, Following the War during the years down to the panie, there was an era of debt-luklng ull over the Western States; within the last fhve years hus begun the era of debt-paying. Mortgages on Western lands have been Iargely reduced of lute years. Tho Interest has all been prowptly pald, and whero possible partial paywents have beon puld on the principal. There Is o general determination to get out of debt, to dischurgy these wortgoges, and treo , the .lnml of Wl legal lucumbrang and for Lhiis purpose the Inig.

A LEGISLATIVE DLUNDER. *Ple bill to consolldate the three towns of Chicago into uno assessment aml ong collec- tlonuistrict has beeq killed in the Leglstature at Springfiend, aud that too by the procure- ment of Chleago wmembers. The petly clamors of a few persistent and chronle oflice-seckers ngalust the wbolltion of two gangs of unnecessary ofiieers prevailed over the almost unanimous volee of the peoplo of this clty, and over every conslderation of tho public welfare, Chicago 13 now legally divided Into threo separnte and distinet towns, nud ench town hay 1 separate leglsintive mnd exeeutive Gov- crnment, consisting of Assessor, Collector, Supervisor, ad Town Clerk.

I'he bill which has been dofeated proposed to submit the question of consolldation to the people of the severnl so-called “towns? but, as there was no uncertainty s to Ifow the peopls woull vote, the bill was atrangled in the Leglsiature. A vote of the people wis the Inst thing that interest desired. If the nssessment in this ¢ity counld bo con- solidated under one eontrolling and directing offleer, there would be n greatly-Incrensed efticiency, nceurncy, and falrness; besides, nn inerense of tho amounnt of taxablo property Ly the correctlon of mistakes, wmisdeserip- tions, and onissions, Theso results, how- ever, find no favor with the men who think the first duty of legislators 1s to multiply oftlees and salarles and places for the benefit of possible delegates to nominating conven- tions.

There Is the swne need fn our own State, or even Juore, beeause In New York private ald hus been glven to the formation of rifle clubs and to the encourngement of superior marksmanship.

Tts gunsg are very bright amd clean, but how many of our wmilitin lave o skilled knowledge of the uso of them? Ilow many of them are experts in markmanship, or would earry off prizes for target practice? As the firing of o gun Is its principal use and the hitting of o mark or, an enemy Its only objeet, It would scem that thoso who carry them should havo this knowledge. Our militian ought to fite awny the necessary roundsof ammunition every year to mnke them experts in fivlng from the shoulder, standing up, Iylng down, nnd overy other way that 1s necessary.

MR, PARNELL'S REPLY. It will bo remembured that the Irlsh Land Leaguen fow days ago passed a resolution to tho elfect that 1t was ndvisable for Mr, Par- nell, us tho champlon of tho land reform movement, to go to Amerlen with the object of securing the sympathics of the American people and tho codperation of his own coun- trymen residing here, ‘Ihe resolution was forwarded to Mir, Purnell at Parls, and that gentleman has promptly ana wisely replied, deelining to go, und nitirming that his duty is to remaln [n Ireland and in Parlinment dur- g the present crisis. ‘Thorequest Itself wus # very oxtruordinary oue, for already thy symunthy of the people of this conntry hus buen expressed In a resolntion passed by Con- gress, ond the coporation of Trishmen hns been gonerous and constant in the only form by which thoy can give It expression— unmely: financinl contribution, The press of this country I8 almost & unlt In its denunciation of tho Injustice and eruclty with which the Irish tonants have been trented, and of the hnrdshlps of the presont systom of land laws, Tho Irish people linve not only contributed freely to support the Land Lengue, but they have voured money llke water from their hard- earned wages to keep their friends in Ire- Iand from starvation and to enablo thens to come to this country. What could Mr, Par- nell lhuave done ir he had coms hero more tiiun he has alrendy done? 1lo might travel e country over, as he ald a year ugo, and mako speeches, but of what uso would they Le? ‘I'iey could not arouse any wiore sym- pathy than is already folt. 1l could not seeuro any lucrease of funds, for the peoplo are slready dolng all they can. The only new result that the Land League mlght hope would be to embroll the United States In a war with Eugluud, snd secure our netlvo coBporation 1n this mauner, but such o contingoncy I3 too remots even for contewmplation, and too ubsurd to conslder. Aguin, 1t would have been imprudent in the extremo for Mr, Parnoll to come here nnd leave his peopls fn the very crlsis of thelr troubles, whila the Coerclon bill 1s pending and a Law-Reform bill 1s soon to come up for discussion. It would have lefs the Land puople without thele most prudont aud nto fearder in tho very time of greatest need, Mr, Parnell's declsion to stay at home was wise therefore, "T'ho letter which he hins written In reply to tho resolution of the Land Lenguo shows that he s a wise counselor, and one who cannot be spared. 1Ml recommendation “ihnt wo should steadfastly lnbor on, deep- ening tho lines and widening the aren of our ngltation, nppealing to the greal masses of 1no poputation of England aid Seothnd, who aro much less represented In the fHouse of Conumons than the wagses In Irolsml,— appealing, 1 say, ngatnst territorfatism and shopoerney, which dominate Parlimment, to the workingmen and ngrleultural Inborers of Tiritnin, who sirety have #o intorest In the misgovernment and porseenttion of Treland,” 13 sound to the core.
