This sentiment, it sums, is not political in the least, but based upon o knowledge of the true con- dition of offolro as regards our resources in easel of trouble with Canada. "Why," said ono of thorn tho other day ; "What is the 11140 of talking about a war? England, to ditto ilia MOO pithily, has forty or more availab(o modern arrnorod ships of war which could reach onr shores within limo 1000140 from the first alarm.

This is the gen- eral oithiment among the naval officers, end, they say, is supporta' by facts. The only truly modern ships of the elmericom Navy aru iu procosss of construction, and in such conditions that it will be months before they could be called fit for eerviee.

The clobote of Wednesday, opened 1.13' Senator Allison and pcsi Solvated in by Seinstor Sherman, is rogarded as signifi• cant, by the Democrats. Thoy believe that the Republicans aro preparin(4 to abandon tariff legislation at this 008010)). Democratic Senators say thnt the prosen- tation by Sonator Allison of the eo1. edition 01 1140 appropriations and the en- larged expeodituros, followed by the sp000h of Mr. Sherman pointing out the foot that the balance of tho trade is against the Unita". Stator and that groat °elation must bo observed to avoid finan- cial disaster indicate that the Republicans aro hesitating on Omit! plan of passing a tariff hill ; that those speeches wore de- signed to proper° the pablie mind for such a chango of plan. The Ropublioan Senators are not inolined to discuss the tariff othuntion vory fully inasmuch as they proposo to Callorle ttpen 11 to•tight ; but some of them do dony *1301 04)41 ohango in the tariff program is oontomplated.

TheRepublican sido of the "American House of Peers" has submitted a, proposition to their Dornicantio brethren for a two week's Mese of Congross, to begin immediately. Tho proposition MS first submitted to Senator Beek, chairman of the Dane. - °ratio caucus, who roplied ho had not the authority to decide, bnt would submit the matter to 1110 associates. Mr. Beck strongly. opposed it, however, and he found 1110 associates of 1)10 same opinion, and the proposition -was formally declin- ed on the bosh; that the appropriation bills should all be passed without any un• necessary delay. Neither house can adjourn for metro than three days at a time without tho assent and joint action 0( 1110 other. The majority of tho Senate could not therefor° carry coot their plan withont Ibo co-operation of the minority, and tho plan for the toms adjournment accordingly failed. Tho reason for the recess proposition is that time is wanted to prepare the Sonate tariff bill. This has beau found a greater task than was anticipated. While it is stated in some qua/tors that the proposal has tended to oonfirm tho opinion of some perinme that the plan to report and pass a senate tariff hill will yet bo abandoned. Senator Alli- son and Senator Joues, of Nevada, ass.:rt most positively that the bill will 1,0 re- ported and passed, despite all dolays Itncl. difficultios.

The vessel 10 to be known as a poonmatio dynamite monitor. The dosign provides for a vessel of a littlo over 1,000 tons burden, built on the monitor princi- ple, with water ballast so arranged rts to admit of the vessels being sunk, when ready for action, to n point which will juot oxpose the turrot. In ordinary cruis- ing the ballast bo dischargod and the ship lightened so 00 to be entirely sea• worthy. A subinarine gun in the boat, a dynamite pneumatic gun, projecting above the stern, and n Minch mortar, mounted in an olevated platie toward -bhp storu, nre thatores of the design.
