Common sense ought to enable people to waderstand this fact without any prompting or admonitions on the subject. But commom sense is scarce, and the race of fats and simpletons very numerous. Argo, the cartmen invariably find it an easy matter to reap. rich barvess through (heir labors at this season. government, and the other to be admitted to all the advantages of the institution on pay- ment of the school fees and arranging for their own maintenance outside. The idea is to pro- vide by this means not only good naval archi- teots for the government service, but to afford to young men from the different naval ports euch facilities as draughtsmen and naval de- signers a8 will qualify them for the profession of shipbuilders, The institution will be ren- dered by this latter feature of the plan partly selt-sustaining, and the remainder of the income required will be provided for in the naval es- timates. During the winter the students will undergo @ course of instruotion partly theo- retioal and partly practical, and in the summer they will be taken to the dockyards, and there initiated ia all the processes of naval con- struction, armor plating, copper sheathing, &o. The important bearing of az institution Like this on.the maritime rivalry provoked between ‘| Great. Britain’ and France ‘aud this countey'}. will be wt once evident. Already the former bas got ahead of us-in'a epeciality on which fast vessels, This “has” been imainly owing to the discouragement by the goverament of native Lines ef ocesa steamers and the favorit- | to ism exhibited by the Navy Department. The result is that eut of five huadred vesselo-of-war which have been added to our navy not more than a third will be permanently serviceable. Out of this smil' proportion but few comply with the conditiens of speed required to com- pete with the wae vessels now building abroad. How important, then, is it that stepa should be taken to force upon’ the Department some system by which we'may prevent the expendi- ture of the public money in this useless and profligate way. Obviously the plan on which the:British goverument is about to aot is the- best calculated to effeet this object. It would provide us in a short time with @ class of naval’ architects superior tor any that. we now have, andwould inspire conffdence in the adminis- tration'of the Navy Départment, even though civilians should continue to be placed at the head‘ of #. One featare: of the plan which especially recommends it te: public favor here is that:it. does not dissourage- private enter- prise; on: the contrary training: and fitting it to compete: with that of the: government naval contractors. We trust that’ Congress will at once direct its attention tothis subject, in order that if the plan should meet its approval steps may bertaken to carry it into efféot during the present session.

Bat what @f the Countess and tho: Count Johannes? THS RATRS ALLOWED BY LAW. ‘The rates allowed by law for the loading, transportiog and uploading of goods, wares, household furniture and other articles.are to be (ound in the Corporation ordinance, amended about a year ago. According to that ordinance public cartmen may charge sixty-two cents per toad tor the carrying of household furniture the distance of half « mile, and sixty-two cents additional for the loading, ea- loading and housing, making one dollar and twenty-four cents for the job complete for every load. Where the distance exceeds half a mile,aud is within a mile, one third more may be added to these rates,and in the seme proportion for any greater distance.
