Ta Hon. William D. Kellej, a few daya ago, wade a speech in the llonae of Representatives denouncing in no measured tonus the Engineer CorpB of the Navy, and especially the Chief Engineer of the l'hiladulphia Navy Yard. This ' effioer was oharged with having purchased marine engine tools for the Navy Yard m.v Ohine shop of a New York manufacturer, when 9 good or better articles could have been ob tained In Philadelphia for less money; anl also with having purchased iu New York tx lot of second hand, worn-out, and worthless tools for more money tban new ones Would have cost In this city. J udge Kelley inti mated that the Cbief Engineer patronized the New Yotk firm in his own interest. A report m ide by a board of naval engineers, appointed by the Seoretary of the Navy to investigate the matter, which exonerated the Chief Eoglnuer Of the Philadelphia Navy Yard from blame, and gave it as their opinion that the pur ohase of the tools was Judicious and in the test interests of the Oovernment, was made the oooaelon of a violent attack upon the entire Engineer Corps of the navy. Judge Kelley oharged the investigating board with having prepared a "whitewashed" report, and stated Uiat the esprit de corps among the engineers of the navy was such that they were always ready to sustain ene another, right or wrong, And that they were aiming to obtain the entire oontrol of the navy. Judge Kelley stated that te had ample evidence to prove his points. This evldenoe he ought to produce. Oar Washington correspondent on Satur day gave Judge Kelley'a version of this affair, using stronger language, however, than that gentleman did in his speeoh, and explicitly charging the Chief Engineer of the Navy Yard and his subordinates with having "forged" bids to sustain themselves and cover their guilt. It la hard to believe Buoh a charge a3 this without substantial proof. The substauoe "ot Judge Kelley'a version of this affair is given by our Washington correspondent as follows: "Judge Kelley'a attention wns first called to ttais mailer byulrlend In Pollacielpliiii who lakes a deep mien-el lu every thing rtlaiiug to Iron and machinery, and wlw, upon a carnal Visit to ibe Mavy Yard, observed largo b3XLd ot tools piled op wuicu Had been apparently thrown abide. After tbe sub-committee bad been appointed, Mr. Uberwood, Chief Kaglncer Of Uie .Navy, came to Judge Kelloyuud obli gingly ottered to detail aumuuur of eugiuoers to Investigate ine matter and report to the rnib committee, lie waft qutnUy lu formed tbat, tue oommiuee conid makailsowu Investigation, hh It would be compelled to make luiownruport to the House. IsberwooJ, ho ivovor, seemed deter mined ibat the engineer department oj taen wy Should have souiu part lu tbe luveslli; Ion. , Accordingly, wuen the commutes reabed PblladelpUia, they found, to tuelr astotiisti ment. tbe engineers la ouargo of flie Kostoa and Brooklyn JNitvy Yards, wtio reported ttieiu elves, under the order of their cbief (Iuer wood) to assist tbe committee in tbeir Investi gation. Tbe committee, however, possessing full powers from the Itouw to examlue wit nesses and to beud lor persona and iaper, weut qutokly to work, Jutl.-te JColley giving tuo en gineers to understand tbat wueu they wete wanted they would be called for. A dltpisltlon was manifested to throw every obstacle posHl ble In tbe way of the commlUee.wlMi a view to prevent a thorough, luveetiiiaiiou. ThUprovinx unsuccessful, less honorable means were resorted to by Engineer Z 'Her and his subordinates to accomplish tbe same purpose. Fraudulent bi U were produced purporting to coma from Messrs. Boilers it Co. and Messrs. liemenl it I) mguerty, of your city, w'lloli, being shown to these firms by Judge Kelley, cntorraua of tbe com mittee, were pronounced forgeries. All tola was done, It appears, to produce the Impression Upon the committee that the bids of Meiim Koach fc Bon of New York for the tools and machinery required were lower than those of any Philadelphia Onus. Most of tneee tools and this machinery were proved by competent machinists and engineers to have gone out of tue In all well-regulated establiaumentg, by reason of tbeir being superseded by more modern improvements and better patterns. Tbe whole affair seems to have been what may be termed a 'set-up job' between the Kqglneer Department of tbe Navy and Messrs. K aeh & Bon, to get a large amount of money out of the Oovernment for old toolB and ancient ma chinery that could command a market nowhere else. Having failed to throw dust In tbe eyes of the committee, the enterprising gentlemen Of tbe Koglneer Department, Including, of eoniae. Koglneer Zeller, of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, have organized a little lobby here for the double purpose of throwing discredit on Judge Kelley'a report, aud of defeating his bill ' authorising tbe President to appoint a clvlllnu to the position of Cbief Engineer of the Navy." There are always two sides to every ques tion, and It is nothing more than fair that the Engineer's side of this story should be beard by the public. The Engineer Corps is one of the moat aooomplished bodies of oflioera con nected with the navy, and we have always been under the impression that, like all other officers both in the military and naval service, they were anxious to keep their oorps up to the highest standard in every respect, and that their eiprit de corps would induce them to dlsoard the black sheep rather than te en courage any practices that would tend to bring their body into disrepute. Chief Eaglneer Zeller, against whom Judge Kelley'a charges have been direoted, is known as one of the moat skilful and experienced engineers in the savy, and he has always borne an unblem ished reputation as an officer and as a gentle man. IIU version of the tool-purchasing transitions, which is supported by docu mentary evidence and the sworn testi mony of experts, indicates that an attempt is being made to compel the purchase of tools for the Navy Yard in this city, whether they can be obtained at less oost in Ithor places or not. Some time ago, when the qwBtlon of purchasing a new pump for the Water Works was under consideration, many of our principal engine builders publicly repa. dlated tbe idea that alloontraota for maohinery to be paid for out of the publlo treasury and to U used In this oity must be given to Phila delphia shops, and they explicitly stated that, U fluch a principle were to be established, It would out them off from a large amount of work which they get from other oities, and would ruin their business. The board of engineers that investigated this matter were appointed first by Eaglneer-In-Chief IsberwooJ, and they subsequently made a more detailed examination, and took evidence by order of the Seoretary of the Navy. Tbe board was composed of Cbief Engineers W. W. W. Wood, Alexander Hen derson, and Philip Inoh. Cbief Eaglneer Wood is the oldest engineer In the nary, and his probity, or that of the officers associated with him, has never been called In question before. The sworn testimony taken by the board of engineers thows that bids were reoeived from tbe Philadelphia and New York tool-makers at the same time, and that the contracts were made from the latest price lists of the different firms. Hy buying the tools in New York a caving to the Government was made of tus net inconsiderable sum of $41,733 51. Particular stress, however, was laid upon the purchase of a large quantity of eecond-hand tools. The testimony shows that these tools were purcbaped at a leas price than was charged in this oity for new ones of the EBme sizes, that they were of improved pat terns, ami that they were in good condition. Tie experts who were examined stated that the wear acd tear upon them from use was very small, and did not interfere at all with their efficiency, and that they oould bs put iuas good condition as new at a cost of not more than $200. In conducting their investigation the board made a critical examination of all tbe ma' chinery in the shops at the Navy Yard, and they took the sworn testimony of a number of tbe most experienced engine builders and machinists in this and other cities, ail of whom pronounced the tools to be llrst-olas, such as they would buy themselves, and ex ceedingly judicious purchases fur the Govern ment to make. Without taking any sides iu this quarrel, we merely desire to give a fair statement of the matter as it stands. If Chief Engineer Zeller is guilty of the charges brought against him, he should be con rt-m art! ailed and dla caif std the service; if he is innocent, and is endeavoring to manage the affairs of his de partment in the Navy Yard in the best in terests of the Government, he is entitled to a complete and emphatio exoneration. Having stirred up this matter, our Congress' men owe it to themselves and their constitu ents to make good tbeir aconsations to the letter'. The case stands thns: Judge Kelley has brought certain charges against the engineers of the yard, but he has as yet produced no evi dence to support his statements. Tbe engi neers are Eupportt-d by a large mass of sworn testimony, from persons who are competent to judge in the matter. It now remains for the Committee of Naval Affairs to exhibit what evidence they have in their possession. The Philadelphia ilavy Yard has had the reputation for many years of being the worst managed yard in the United States, and the officers of the navy who have been on duty there complain that the political influences which control the affairs ot the yard interfere with them continually in the performanear-of their duties. The Congressmen from Phila delphia look upon the yard as their personal property, and the civilians, such as the master meohanio, storekeeper, and others, who are placed there by tbeir influence, manage to keep the officers in hot water, or if they refuse "to crook the pregnant hinges of the knee" to the political powers that be, no efforts are rpared to secure their removal. We hope that this tool-purchasing matter will be investigated, not in tbe interest either of Chief Engineer Zeller or the Philadelphia tool-makers, but fairly, iuTpartially, and thoroughly, so that the whole truth may be elicited; and if the charges against the Chief Engineer should prove to be without sub stantial foundation, a strenuous effort ought to be made by the ineoming administration to break up tbe political ring that has for so many years ruled tbe affairs of the Philadel phia Navy Yard. The Police and their Iclltiqii-nclN. The new Chief of Police, General Mulholland yesterday Issued a general order for the gov ernment of the police force of the city which merits the commendation of every order-loving citizen. If the terms of this order are rigidly tnforced, as we trust they will be, a policeman who enters a drinking saloon, except for the pnrpoee of quelling a disturbance or making an arrest, will be summarily dismissed from the force. Such an order has long been seeded, and now that it has at last been Ljsued, we may expect to wUndtts a decided improvement in the police in one very import, ant ret pec t. There is still another opportunity for Mayor Fox ard Chief Mulholland to contribute to the filcieney of the force. Hitherto, whenever a charge of any kind has been brought by a citizen against a policeman, the affair has been reftrred to a commission consisting of tbe CLief and two or three lieutenants, who have investigated it iu a room iu the basement of the building in whlvh the headquarters of the force are located, with cloned doors and in the most secret manner. As a eonsequenoe, it is seldom that a member of the force has been properly punished for dereliction of duty. The cbanoes are altogether with the accused; and even when a deprivation of pay or a suspension from duty is inflicted, the whole matter is conducted so quietly that the public never hears of the caee, and the great reformatory Influence of publlo opinion id, therefore, never brought to bear upon the delinquent. If polios trials were conducted by the Mayor iu person, in auopeu manner, so that full reports of the evidence oould be published in the daily papers, tb r j would be a large increase in the number or charges brought against Inefficient and is. honest polioemen, until all suoh tueuibors of tbe force were rooted out, or reformed by fear of tbe inevitable disgrace which would await them. We hope that Mayor Vox will give tills snl Ject his eri u attention, in the belief tbat he will see good oause for adopting our Htp(.e(tiou. "Pirty Work" Ht Ilrrllnrr. "Ik dlrtWHie trump," Bald Cbarlea Lamb to a friend with wbom he was playing cards, and wbfi'e digits were ttrangers to soip and water; "if dirt were tiumps, good Lord, wlat a laid you'd have I' Perhaps Mr. Strang, tbe Republican member of the Uou3e f cm Ticga county, bad real the story, and become convinced that dirt is nt a trump card under auj' c nmBtanceP, when he rose in his ph.ee last evening and announced tbat be "(ave fair notice now tbat this was tbe lat ot the dirty work be intended to do this ses sion." If Mr. Strang had retimed to partici pate in any dirty woik at all. he would have made a stronger aim upon the regard of his constituents. Tl e dirty work was so notice able last evening a. Harrisburg, that another Republican member of tbe House, Mr. Niohol bod, of H-aver county, declared that 'in Ave years' expeiienoe be had never seen so many outrages attempted iu any oue night !" The telegraphio report of the proceedings states that Mr. Nicholson exbibited considerable ex citement in making this announcement, his excitement being oauted, his language would lend us to believe, not by the attempt at legis lative outrages, but rather by the unexampled number of them. We have recalled the threadbare story about Chat Us dumb and bis fiithy-fingerod amago niflt at card, dimply to give point to our re marks of yesterday on tbe danger which threatens the Republican party of this State, pprirgirg frcm the recklessness with which the members of tbe State Legislature who profi ts to represent it engage in what Mr. t"trarg has to tensely described as "dirty work." Doubtless tbe majority of th'mi are laboring under tbe notion that "dirt is trumpe." Tbe sooner they disabu.se their minds of this fatal idea, and discard dirt as a losing card, tbe better for them and for the pait.y which they so grossly misrepresent. 'Iho l'.ii))lro it IN-nni!' Thk speech of Napoleon III yesterday, at the formal opening of tbe serious of the 1'ienjh J-ei.att" and Corps Li'gisUtif, was equal to th) leet effort of that rlaiuibb ruler. As a epe uimen ot buncombe, it is one o. the finest things ia political literature. TLu harmony between tbe throne, the legislature, ami lUa people the glory vf France the iutimatu ntlou of honor and liberty, as a foundation fur the detiuitrK of the nation ami all that sort of thing, without stint, were poured, into tbe attentive ears ot" the legislators. hit what dees it all au-.uuut to ? I'li fort unate'y, the a'tate o;snpaut of the Tuileiies was i;t care'nl enough to conceal from the world the fact tbat a very large-tlztjd mou! e was kicking around iu the meal. "1 favor a full and fn.e difou;s2on, when It doaa not touch the eoottitiv ion." This scusltive m ft about the constitution is evu nuue of a chronic compKtnt with Louis Napoleon Bona parte tban it ie whh Andrew Johnson. "That icitinrcVut is above all debate," continued the Emperor, goitig slightly beyond the Presi dent iu his lbghtest pronuntiimento. "The aimament of tbe forces is perfect the arienuLs are filled with supplier!, the reserves are well drilled, the lb eta have been refitted ; the forti fications at a'.l important points are in od condition, tbe imperial wish has Wen realized, and France is so placed as to vindicate her statue iu the destinies of the world" all ot which means that "the Empire is Peace." Ah.o, that you must not touch tbe constitu tion, nor halt in the march toward the con summation of tbe glory of Franoe. The whole thifg is a beautiful parody on the opening lines of tbe proscribed national hymn: Wions! Knfanta de la patrie, I..- jour Ue gloire est arrive." SiimiDAN's deppatch to General Sherman gives a graphio picture of the results of a successful campaign against the fierce and re fractory tribes of the Plains. These wild war riors hve hitherto waged war whenever their cupidity was excited, or their young braves had a good opportunity to secure white scalps, and they have dictated the terms of peace to venal commissioners. In summer, when they cculd roam at will over the vast buffalo grounds, they loved to go-to war, so that the excitement of the chase m'ght be pleasantly and profitably varied with the pursuit of a stage-coach, tbe plunder of a ranche, or an attack npon an unguarded train. Iu winter they were always ready to listen to proposals of peace, which bad no prautioal meaning except that they received a small share of tbe proceeds of the moneys the Government ap propriated, nominally, for their benellt. Sheridan has demonstrated at last that retri bution can be brought home to them, in their most remote retreat?, even iu the dead of winter, and tbat the nation will punish its enemies rather than purchase false friends. The unconditional surrender of the leading chiefs of the hostile tribes will, we hope, prove tbe precursor of a rjenuine and lasting peace. We bhall le gratly mistaken if tbe reported Johnson-Clarendon treaty in relation to the Alabama cla;uos doaj not prove a gigautio swindle on the American peopl?. ',,'u have no faith in mixed commissions. B,nv hoJi a have little her Itatf n iu vot!i'r; i.ay tl i money of the nations they o-tf,i, ,i!,ly repre sent. Enveloping Lh 1r. vn'.ljns la a cloud of diplon'adi, u.yateiy, tl aj are ever rendy to grant a taroraltle hearing to extor tionate claimants, and to recommend the pay ment of Villa which no conscientious account ing ofliw.r would approve.

The American Commissioners will be obliged to recognize a portion or all of these olaimi, If they with to secure a fall recognition of tbe Alabama claims, and the whole transaction will end in a demand for a large appropriation from the National Treasury. On the present baeis of negotiations, the British Govaruaunt will not contribute a farthing to reimburse the loeees caused by the piratical vessels sent forth by the British pirates to prey upon Ame rican commerce, unless tbe Cungess of the United Slates enriches hosts of ihe oitUi-ns of Great Britain.
