SHIPBUILDING IN BOSTON. he Business Not Affected by the Eastern War. VIEWS BY VETERAN a BUILDERS. Free Trade in Shipping and Shipping Demanded. Bostox, May 5, 1877, ‘What a national diessing it would be if this war on “the utiful blue Danube’ would revive the pros- trate shipbuilding interests of America. 1t would be Bgratilying veritication of the olu ada; that *Itis an il) wind that blows nobody good,"’ and here in New England there would be a pertect shout of delight from thousands of skilled mechanics, who have tor many years earned Yul a scanty remuneration tor more scanty labor, The time was when East Boston, Chelsea and Newburyport were among the chiet shipbuilding centres of the country; but for many a day their yards bave been alinost wholly deserted end silent, Take it in East Boston, tor instanceo— where have been turned out upward of 500 vessels of One kind ana another within the time of its present inbabitants—and we find the business almost wholly Prostrated, This, 1 may add, ts equally true of the other poinis named; and, indeed, it may be assumed that there is the same inactivity and desire for revival Ip every shipyard along the coast of Maing, WILL THK FOREIGN WAK AFFECT AMERICAN SHIP- BUILDING ? It is an unsettied question in the minds of Boston builders whether or not their business will be stimu- lated by the war between Russia and Turkey, That there will be an increased demand for carrying facili- ties on the ocean highway is universally admitied, but they sbake their heads gravely anu say that tho stupid Jaws ot the United States aro an effective barrier to shipbuilding in America. Relerence, of course, is had to the heavy duty imposed upon imported stock entering into the construction of both wooden and iron sels, Your correspondent has been surprised at bbe intense fceling manifested by some ol the Boston builders on this matter, und tho views which thoy give Biterance to are well worthy the carly and earnest at- tention of the coming Congress. YREK TRADE IN SHIPPING, It is general free trade in shipping that 1s demanded, and tho public sentiment in fuvor of it found expres- sion in this vicinity long before there was any thought of the present hostilities between Turkey and Russia, Some six months ugo the Boston Free Trade Club tor- warded to General Banks, tor presentation to Con. Gress, a putition asking, in effect, that “any and all Festrictions which prevent citizens of the United Brates from buying ships built anywhere outside of their own territory and sailing them under the na- tion’s flag, be at once removed, and that, {rom the date pf the passage of a bill to this effect, they may be al- lowed to have ships built, or buy those now alloat in any partol the world.”” And the petition furthermore asked ‘‘that such alterations be at once made in th Mf as will enable any und all articles which 1p the home construction of iron or wooden ships ol any kind to be admitted in the Uniued states free of duty.’” OPINION OF 4 BOSTON SHIPBUILDER. James L. Townsend, of the new shipbuilding firm of Smith & Townsend, iniormed your correspondent that he hoped rather than anticipated # revival ot bis bust- ness on account of the Eastern war, His firm, he said, ‘was now engaged oniy in building a single bark of 1,000 tons, and that was being built on their own ac- count. In discussing =the petition which the Free Trade Club had sent to Congress, Mr. Townsend declarea himself in favor of universal ‘and opposed to partial iree traue. Englund, he said, Is e trade country, and consequently we are ina worse condition than if we were English colunies. England took up iree trade us a matter of policy when she found that the United States had far more to give than sbe had to take irom her. In the beginuing ot the war we had a_ splendid opportunity for the sale of ouf iron, and there was po disturbing element to increase iis value, Dut Englaud advanced the price of her iron, und we followed after in the same track, and with no per- ptible reason for so doing. Now, if we bad been listed with the price we wero then receiving tor Irun, and not increased at ail, labor would have in- creased and we would have bech able to compete with England. A bill based on the Freo Trade Club peti- tion, remarked Mr, Townsend, would be to the advan- tage of the shipbuilders only, aud if passed would be ef no particular benefit to those who are eugaged in e Various industries that go into the make up of a ip. Mr. Townsend was in favor of allowing those who can procure the best raw material and produce it the least cost to do 80; but wheu a country places any restriction he juvored a law that would benetit those who pay taxes and have to bear the burden of the country. Yellow metal is now admitted to the foreign trade, but bere the law becomes a disturbing elemeaot, for it says an American vessel cannot engage in the coastwiso trade ior three successive months witbout paying duty. Mr. Townsend expressed sub- SBlantially the same Views relative to French and Eng- Nish Lioyds, and remarked that there are three inatiu- Bions in America that classify vessels, call bhemsecives American Lloyds, aud is calied the Ship- Masters’ Association, the latter more than the other two having the confidence of shipowners, He be- Jheved that a bill based on the petition referred to would not Increase labor, because the policy of the other governments being to protect their own inaustry, they would so shape their own laws in Clasving thoir vessels that they would bave the same chanco in foreiza markets, and being thus enabled to compete with the best built American ships they would, of course, get the iabor. We should, be said, as 8 commercial people, give class and character to our Buipping. and then we would be troated with the same pect and consideration as vessels of other nationali- ies. Universal (ree trade would regulate the classing of vessels in time, and it would also regulate all phases pi commerce, aud we, inthe United States, would oc ‘eupy the places that belong to us. WHAT AN IDLE SHIPBUILDER SAYS, The venerable D. D. Kelly, wio has curried on the Dusiness in East Boston tor near; if a century, is another gentieman who looks tor ‘little activity io his bugiuess growing out of the KE. ‘a war, unless 8 {ree trade law is passed. a that he was like his neighbors—doing hurdly anything tn the way of bvusi- ness. His views in favor of tree trade were fully as decided as those of Mr. Townsend. ‘*It 1s a fact,” he sald, ‘that we can build the same kind of a ship, with the same material and under the same conditions, as cheap as any country in the world; but we have to @ duty on iron, hemp and other commodities that go into the con- ruction of 1p, and still the duties amount to but je, say, for instance, ubout five per cent of the en- cost of tlic vessel, Foreign copper is better onthe average than American, possibly because they use Chili ‘Sorat, and a map who desires to metal his ship takes ber to England, where he buys his motai iree of duty, and the English soll their metal cheaper to go on ships than they will to export it, This is to encourage labor, you know. When a ship is to be metalled tho owner generally overhauls her entirely. Foreign ships in an Americab port canno€ take metal out of bond, consequently they do their repairing at home at the expenge of a vast amount of labor to this country. PROWMITORY TAXATION, Anothor drawback to Americun commerce is that every ship that goes into an American port bas to pay noo @ year a tax of thirty cents a ton—ior instanve, a vessel of 700 tons has to pay a tax of $210 year, No other country inflicts this tnx. Stull another great rden to the commercial interests of this nation 18 @ expense of our consul system abroad, which ig enormous, aud out a comparative few of our consuls “are acting in a friendly way toward American commerce. A system that is routly needed to advance the commercial interests of the United States is one vy which Ameri- ban Vessels can be officially classed, In Kngivnd toey havo the English Lloyds, in France the French Lioyus, ind many American vessels are rated in one or the other, in order to reap the advantages of a first cluss vessel; but in order to be thus rated our vessels havo to be built somewhere after the siyle ot ti ghiah or F What 1s greatly necded is an association tution, a commercial congress, lor istanco— that shail establish an American Lloyds, have thor- oughly American built vessels, with tis own charuc- teristics, and with no borrowing of foreign ideas what- ever in regard to shipbuilding. Mr. Kelly expressed bimselt as bemg in favor of any man building a ship in any part of the world whore he can do it the cheapest. At the present time a citizen of this country cannot bave a vessel built wa foreign land and sail it under the American flag; pelther can an American sail bis ship under any flu but that of his own country. This i it should be but during the recent civil war this law was pat to a tricky ase in What was known ua “whitewashing.” A citizen of the North would get some acquaintance in England to purchase a part of his vessel, and suid purchaser would swear he was the owner el; by this means she could be lish vessel and under the Euglish preventing her being molested by a South. ern privatecr. Jn conclusion, Mr. Kelley claimed thi tukivg off all restrictions, we could compete with any country in the world in our commerce, but at present there: Feems no encouragement whatever for the building of first class ships.

Despatebes just in indic Oo X1ety on the part of Gen- eral Miles in the matter of the surrender of hostiles at Tongue River. The occurrence of iast season causes with him evident distrust of the Crows, his just re- ceived letter to General Brisbin asking the ‘keeping weil in band of any Crows wittr you, there being a del- gation of Sioux remaining here tu proof of good in- | tentions during the absence of others now returning to @ council at which the question of surrender will be determined.” My last letter’s predictions regarding the campaign areindorsed by Generai Miles’ despatch of the Sth inst | toGeneral Brisbin.

But no previous attempt at a soluuon of the upparent difference of the geological and Mosatc his- tories of creation has yot proved satisfactory to the writer, nor does he claim that his theory is more satis- factory than tke dozens of theories udduced by learned men of almost evory civilized couotry on both sides of the Atlantic. No more is claimed for the present by- pothesis than that it is within the range of possibility, und indeod no more can bo said of the best of these numerous attempts at solution. 1 do not believe that the following has ever before appoared ‘in print:—If the reader will open his Bible at the frst chapter of Genesis and read the first five verses, containing the general the then, fact of creation and first day, or the creation omitting the read the history of of light, and intermediate verses to the the history, of the fourth oth to the nineteenth jon of the sun, moon and stars, he will at once perceive a closer conuection ween tho two pa:suges than exists between cither id tho intervening passages, Let him then resume at the poiut trom which he omitted—the close of the fifth verse—reud from the sixtn through the eighth verse (the second day, or the creation of the firmament and the dividing of the waters from the waters) and again omit to verse twonty; then reading verses twenty to twenty-three inclusi he cannot fail to per- ceive the close connection between the second day, or the division of the waters from the waters, and, tho fitth day continuing the and their bringing forth abundantly moving cr and fowls. ‘Then lot the reader return to the of the third day, verses nine to thirteen inclusive, in which the dry land appears with grass, the herb with soed and the tree yielding fruit, Now, taking up the sixth day, verses twenty-four to thirty-one, the inti- mate connection between them as here pomted out will be forcible and striking. It is naturally inquired, What right have’ we to dis- Place and distort Scripture so violently, and, if any, what 1s to be gained by such a ruthless procedure? Those iar with bistorical geology will not fuil to perceive how well the proposed reading tall with the fact of geological history, that vegetation in general preceded animal life in time, and this tact—the prine1- pal difficulty to be reconciled with the contrary usser- Uon of the ordinary interprotation of Seripture—gives promise of clearing up minor difficulties im tte own solution. But, the reader will say, how can such an arbitrary displacement of passages of Scriptural narration bo possible without profane and sacrilegious pening with the word of God, even where looked at with a liberal and charitadlo acknowledgment that supersti- tious reverence for the lottor may be carried to and 16 capabie of abuso?

HISTORY OF THE DESERT LAND LAW. {San Francisco Bulletin, April 28.) The operation of the Desers Land law in the Visalia district is attracting some attention to the history of the law itself, It may be traced to a bill introduced in Congress by Mr. Luttrell about three years ago, to pro- vide for the reclamation by irrigation of sage brush or desert lands in Lassen county. Those sage brush lands were unproductive and failed to invite pro-emp- tion under the Agricultural Land law. With the pas- sage of the Lassen county Desert Land law these sage were brought under irrigation and converted into pro- ductive property, The principle of this Lassen sago brush law Was to pave @ way for capital to reclaim such waste lands as were absolutely worthless tor or- dinary settiers, It was supposed toat this was the principle on which the Desert Land law had been framed, Congress can have scarcely coutempiated hing else when It passed it, Pacitic States and most of the Territories con- desert lands, uuadapied to settic- ment without large outlays of capital for irrigation works, Colorado and the Territories east of the Rocky Mountains bad clamored for years tor the passago of similar legisiation to the Lussen sage brush jaw, to enable them to bring these desert lands under cull tion, Taking advactage of this sentiment aud the presumably éuccessiul operation of tue ib law, jenator Stewart dratted the Desert Land through Congress at tho bill Was 80 plausible on d, we believe, the uuupimous support of the California delegation. In its operation the law does not, however, bear the desired fruits. It svems lo bavo opened the door for speculators to step in and take up & large portion of the public domain available for settlement. The presumption is, of course, that bond fide settlers will have to purchase this land, when they it, for a great ad- vanco on the price paid to the government. Whilo it must be admitted that there is a ne- coasity tor which wili offer a larger premium to le to utilize desert lands than w pro: vided in the Agricgitural Land law, such a law ought to be well guarded to prevent the possibility of abuse, The prosent Desert Land law does not, itappears, come up to this mark. It 18 +0 loose in its Construction that we find what is represented to be grass land being pre- empted under it, Italso gives t ‘stem full swing to operate, a orkings of tem in the Visulia district, where about 50,000 acres Of, } tor price list, he dummy # MONDAY, | rly in January, and were driven up the lor | 99 | what is popularly believed to be average agricultural and ha: rough is instrumentality, passed into the bands of afew speculators, And, iu this connection, we bave the unpleasant seandal of a bateb of federal officials Hzuring in the rdle of pre-emption dummies im the interest of these speculators, The Desert Land law is ovidently so imperfect and the opportunities which it offers lor the improper appropriation of much of the public domain ure so great that it will no doubt undergo 4 thorough revision at the next session of Con- gress. In the meantime, however, considerable mis- ebief may be accomplished unaer it. COURT CaLENDARS— THIS DAY.
