FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1809. nil SHORTCOMINGS OF THE NAVY DEPARTMENT. XT e have rocoived a polite note from one of the gentlemen connected with the Navy Do. partmout, eucioning Beveral documents refer ring to the points which were allogod against the nnuiagoment of tho navy in these columns a few days ago. These were, specifically, Ad miral l'ortor'B administration of the Naval Academy, the contest between the stall and the line officers, and the changing of tho names of the national vessels, and we see noth ing in any of the evidence furnished by the department to refute what has boon said. With regard to the administration of tho Naval Academy, wo have the report of the Board of Visitors who attended the aunual examination, and saw nothing but what was highly commendatory. Did Buy Board of Visitors ever see anything to find fault with on such occasions ? Their position is esteemed a complimentary one, and they are expected to be complimentary. No examination of any Hchool is a fair test of its efficiency, and there is yet to be found the perron, who is nt all informed upon the matter, who will assort that tho Antmpolis School will at all compare with West Point in the thoroughness of its course, the efficiency of its discipline, or the competency of its graduates. Improvements and additions have been made to the buildings and grounds since Admiral Porter has been in charge of the Academy; but has he advanced the stand ard of scholarship so that it will compare with that of the Military Academy? The squabble between tho line and staff officers is of long standing: it was commenced many years ago by the surgeons, before there were any paymasters or engineers in the ser vice, and it has been continued with unre mitted bitterness ever since, to the injury and discredit of the navy. There have been many foolish things said on both sides, and the con troversy on the part of the staff officers has not always been carried on in that courteous spirit that should influence such matters. At the same time, the line officers have arrogated to themselves the position that "tho gradu ates of the Naval Academy are the navy," and the officers of the staff are looked upon as outsiders and interlopers, who have "crept in at the hawe-hole," and who consequently are not to be considered as having any specific rights. Admiral Porter may not be respon sible for the recent changes that were made in tho status of the staff officers, but it is cer tainly remarkable that such marked changes should be made just when he obtained the control of the Navy Department. If we understand this question, the staff officers of the navy, surgeons, paymasters, and en gineers, ask to be placed in exactly the same position as the staff of tho army nothing more nor less. They do not ask or wish military command, but they do ask that no invidious distinctions shall be made in their uniforms, and that they shall be accorded equal social rights and' privileges with the lino. This matter ought not to be loft to the discretion of the Navy Department, but it should be regulated by an act of Congress that will pre scribe exactly what the duties and privileges of each branch are. If this is done, there will be an end to a squabble that is discreditable to all concerned. In reference to the change in the names of our naval vessels, our correspondent refers us to a very remarkable article on the subject which appeared in the Washington Chronicle yesterday. This explanation of the change in nomenclature is a curiosity in its way; and the most that can be said for it is, that if the Navy Department can make no other defense for the new nomenclature, the sooner it com plies with the emphatically-expressed wishes of the country, and resumes the discarded names, the better it will be. The Chronicle says: "The fact Is. a most senseless unrnar was mi Jo about changing the namus of some of our vessels of war. Heveiitocu of the number were changod to con form to the law of CongruHH, and others had their names allured to rennrouuuo into tne service old names connected with the earliest traditions of the "The Navy Department Is soundly berated, because it has In some Instances adopted the names of hesthen gods; but In answer to this, it may be said uinir iv wuuiu Bouiiu miner sacrilegious to name iriiu-uiiiB mver uie propneis, or other holy person ages mentioned in the Scriptures. 'J or instance, tho name of the Tonawanda was changed to Amphltrite, a well-known name in th United States navy. No one will venture to say that it would have been hotter to name the vessel Jere- iiiian, uauiei, or johiiuo, me ton or Nun, and so with tne others. The name or the Waxsaw was changed to Niobc, who Is known to everybody as the lady who n mi mi tier noun uiiu uuiigMiers snoi lo oeatQ by the children of Latotia, and is supposed lu couse- quence to De continually weeping, it would not sound well to call the Waxsaw Kachel, although that lady was in somewhat of a like predicament with Niobe, viz., "weeping for her children." It must strike any one directly how beautiful it would be to have the Yankee Niobe (Iron one of her Uf teen- inch tears into the bosom of the British frigate La toua; for tho Waxsaw to perioral such a lent would signify nothing. ? "The opponents of tho present names claim that tney are iuigusn. no are me names or Jones, smith and Brown so are Shakespeare, Milton, livrou, etc. and ttecause of this are we not to read them or claim some property in them 7 "We have as much respect for them as John Bull has. "There Is rather too much fastidiousness among the newsnaners folks about the gods and goddesses. Would it not have been better to have been more squeamish when the names of Choctaw, Chickasaw, mid Cherokee were given to our gunboats ? "The Choctaws, as a mil Ion, went bodily into the Rebellion, and, although some of the others left the Rebels and Joined us, they never so far redeemed themselves as to be entitled to have their names niimijd in our navv. "Leaving out the fact that the British have dared to take the names of some of the heathen gods for their Hhlps, there can be nothing m tne worm more oeau tiful and annropila'e than the names of inythologl :al characters. The deeds of most of them were deeds of daring, and every schoolboy knows their history. . " Tooke's Pantheon' Is a book common in our schools, aiid people are not ashamed to have their children learn it. Every name in the heathen mythology conveys) an idea at once. In our iron Clad Thunderer we at once catch the Idea that she flre something more than gunpowder, and tho Terror Is something of whloh to stand in awe. , 'The iiotna, Vesuvius, and Htromboll are appropri ately named from the fact that they will pour out metaphorical lava on the head of any Indlseroet llrltlshers that may approach too near them." We commend tho above to the candid con sideration" of our readout. It is the first serious attempt that has been made to defend the Porter-Horio system of nomenclature, and we hope it will be the last. All that the Chronicle says on the subject only adds strength to the argument of the other aido, and it is about as absurdly amusing a speoi mcn of begging tho question as wo have evor been fortunate enough to meet with. That some of the names adopted by Mr. Welles were "jaw-breakers" is true enough, but the majority of thorn were judiciously chosen, and they all had the emphatic merit of being distinctively American. Classical mythology bus been rummnged entirely too much for names of every description, and it was a healthy sign for the Navy Department to dis cord it. Of Admiral Torter's ability as nn officer we entertain no question, but that he or any other officer of the navy is the proper person to manage the Navy Department we do not believe, more especially as he is entirely irre sponsible. Since ho has been the right-hand man of the Secrctary.there have been nothing but murmurs and dissatisfaction in the ser vice and out of it; and if Mr. Robeson pos sesses any qualifications for the position he holds, he will act judiciously by taking the reins into his own hands, nnd dispensing with the services of any but his legitimate assistants. 77? REMOVAL OF TUE CAPITAL. The Western papers, for a lack of something more exciting, are still engaged in an elabo rate discussion of the proposition to remove the capital of tho United States from Wash ington to some more central point, and by general consent they appear to have fixed unanimously upon St. Louis as tho most favorable location. Chicago, for once in her greedy and boastful career, does not present any claim to tho honor; in fact, the papers of the Garden City are, if anything, more anx ious than are those of St. Louis in insisting upon the peculiar and numberless advan tages which are possessed by the latter as a site for the sent of our Central Government. And now the Tribune raises its voice, and, with none of that magnanimity which has characterized the journals of Chicago, and other ambitious Western cities, insists that, if the capital must be removed, under any and all circumstances New York is the only suit able place in the length and breadth of the land for it. But imagine the result which would follow such a suicidal arrangement on both sides ! New York as well as Congress would suffer innumerable and almost inde finable disasters, in case they were tinhappily brought into conjunction. In the first place, no sooner would the first seesion of Congress after the removal be opened, than the defeated Democratic candidate for the Speakership of the House would go before the immaculate Judge Barnard and sue out an injunction restraining the successful Republican from entering upon the discharge of his duties. Thereupon, in pure and simple self-defense, the Speaker would be forced to appeal to Judge Cardoza, and obtain from him an injunction restraining his rival and Judge Barnard from proceeding any further in the case. Then would come a counter blast from Judge Sutherland, declaring that neither of the other courts had jurisdiction in the matter, and throwing the whole con troversy back to its original status. Defeated, but not dismayed, the Democratic aspirant to the honors of the Speakership would then present himself before Judge McCunn, who would not hesitate a half-second in granting him all the writs that he micht desire. Then Recorder Hackett would loom up in turn, and with his well-known contempt for Democratic prece dents would grant a counter injunction, and finally tho case would be brought before Judge Blatchford, of the United States Dis trict Court, who would, as a matter of course, declare that neither the State nor the Federal judiciary had anything to do with the matter. This contest would consume four or five months of the most valuable time at the dis posal of Congress, and no sooner would the organization of the House be perfected than fresh troubles would be sprung upon it. Some degenerate renegade of a carpet bagger from Texas or Mississippi would contest the seat of the only true and original carpet-bagger who had been legally elected. Congress, of course, would throw cold water on his claims by a strict party vote, and he would at once rush before Judge Barnard and obtain a writ of mandamus, authoritatively commanding Con gress to give him the disputed seat. Con gress, of course, would repudiate the jurisdic tion of the court and pay no attention to the writ, and some sultry evening in June, which would by this time be upon the members, and necessitate the holding of night sessions to enable them to finish the work of the first term before the beginning of the second, the whole kit and caboodle of them would be nabbed by a posse of murderous deputy snenns, ana locked up in Ludlow street jail, on the charge of being in contempt of court. Meanwhile, by their notoriously vicious practices, the members of tho National Legis lature would corrupt, by their associations the virtuous Aldermen and Common Coun- ciliiien of the metropolis, and that city would soon degenerate from its present pure and lofty political standard into tho most abomi nable sink of iniquity on the face of the earth. Congressmen and Councilmen would then walk arm-in-arm up and down Broadwav and the Bowery; would eutico each other into Niblo's, to see the horrid and shocking per formances of the .bngiisn blondes; would pass their Sundays in drinking "cold coffee " in utter defiance of the Excise law; would pass the night in breaking each other's heads with beer glasses, and the day in sleeping off their stupors; would, in fact, and in general terms, 1 make New York howl as it never howled be fore, or aa Rome wan made to howl by the orgies of disreputable pagans in the olden time. Clearly, it would never do to remove the cnpital to New York. Washington is bad enough, and the Government of the country while administered from that point is but a trifle botter than it ought to be. But New York aa the National Capital would be infi nitely and indefinitely worse, and the country in less than a year would go to the dogs and the worst sort of dogH, at that. The upshot of the whole matter is simply that, if Wash ington is to bo despoiled of her honors, profits, and privileges as the seat of government, Philadelphia is the unfortunate city upon which they must fall. Philadelphia was, once upon a time, the Federal capital, and it should never have been removed from this to any other place. Now that tho question of still another removal is being agitated, if any thing comes of the discussion we sincerely trust that it will result in the correction of tho serious mistake which was made when the Quaker City was forsaken for the town of magnificent dimensions and a munificence of dirt on the banks of the Potomac. Tho whole thing is as patent to a reasonable creature as tho shocking old whito hat which at this mo ment protects the bald pate of Horace Greeley from the blistering rays of the July sun. NOT THE FASHION WITH US. The London Pall Mall Oairttt, in referring to the solec.tion of Lord nowden whom it styles "a clever and experienced diplomatist" .is English Minister to Spain, states that "there is probably no other living English man so well conversant with the language, literature, institutions, and public men of Spain." Tho New York Time truthfully re marks that "in this country these would bo considered curious reasons to urge in favor any diplomatio appointment." When Mr. Motley was sent to Austria, there was some attention paid by our Government to tho eternal fitness of things, and the same may be said of tho selection of Mr. Tuckerman as our Minister to Greece. But these are the only two instances that we can call to mind, in the recent history of the country, in which an acquaintance with the "language, litera ture, institutions, and public men" of a fo reign country were given noticeable conside ration by the Government in the selection of its representatives abroad. Wrhen John P. Halo attempted to defend himpelf against the scandal which has, either justly or unjustly, been attached to his residence in Madrid, ho could begin his appeal to the people of his own country only by confessing that, on his arrival in Spain, he was "of course" ignorant of everything pertaining to the country at whose capital he was to represent us. It miy bo that President Grant has made an improve ment in this particular mission by the ap pointment of General Sickles, but we are obliged to express the gravest kind of doubt upon the matter. BELLS! Rhetobicians tell us a groat deal of the "har mony of sound and sense:" to mortals loss highly endowed, sound often seems more closely allied with nonsense. For example, Mr. A. lives near a church whose bell weighs many hundred pounds. The church has two night services every week, perhaps three. Mr. A.'s child will go to sleep before the hour of service, but, being unwell, sleeps rest lessly, and wakes in a fright whenever there is a noise in the street. Suddenly, every pound of metal in the bell nay, its every atom begins to vibrate under the ponderous hammer. What mother in Philadelphia does not know tho result upon "baby?" Mra. A., whose eyes fill with tears as she tells us the story, knows that her delicately-nerved, sensitive little one went to heaven from a horrid con vulsion that is chargeable to the neighboring church bell. Or, suppose Mr." A. to live near the State House, and his child to be five or six years old, but of nervous constitution. At every signal from the telegraph operator below the bell over, Independence Hall gives forth the most deafening din, to inform Phila delphia that a frame shed somewhere was on fire. That the hour is 1 A. M. does not re lieve the ringer of the necessity of making all the usual noise, and the child near by must cry and sob till the clamor ceases, and thon, perhaps, lie awake for several hours. Who has not seen the effect of this torture carried into later life and down to the grave? If we consider how many churches, police stations, engine houses, manufactories and school buildings have bells, and then add to these instances of children the many old, sick, and morbidly nervous people, persons prostra ted by fever, whose only cure is ' 'perfect quiet, " and the many other victims of the ills of flesh, we surely have, in a population of 800,000, cases enough to make good our argument, and that, too, if we take almost any day or the vicinity of any bell. But this nuisance goes further. It is the source of many worries, also, as well as actual injuries. A student deep in a puzzle with whose solution he hopes to enlighten tho world, or a writer under the full inspiration so necessary to successful work, has crept into his den, safe, he thinks, from the noise outside. Poor fool! A parade comes along the street, and a church "over the way" has lent its chimes to the paraders. The proper ringer is busy, and tho bells are janged and jarred together, therefore, by an inexpe rienced person, till the poor student or writer shuts his books, puts away his papers, and goes where he cannot hear "that bell." His opportunity is gone, to return when? Or, tired out with nigh -work, he sinks into bed at 1 or 2 o'clock. For one hour he tosses, two or three he sleeps "by snatches," and just as his true rest begins, the bell of a church not ton doors off peals through the air. It is six o'clock, and this boll must say so, though it is yet dark and hardly a footstep breaks the silence of tho street. And so, one rides tolermantown or Chestnut Hill. The train does not loave the depot, before the engine-bell begins to toll, and continues tolling until the train is a street or two beyond Columbia avonue. At last it stops, tut just then another train oomesdown the road. Its bell is rung and its whistlo blown vociferously until it is past. This infliction is one that need not be tole raf( d unless our citizens wish it. In London, fires are put out without one stroke of a bell, nnd in Boston there is an ordinance whioh forbids the ringing of church bolls. In times when clocks were scarce and dear, there was tho ground of necessity for those outrages upon the community; but now every school boy carries his watch. Do the employe! of a factory which has neither steam nor bell fail to discover when the dinner hour comes ? Why, then, should there be any whistles or bells to annoy a neighborhood? If the nui sance is not abated, we may come to the pass of calling political meetings or partisan mobs together with our State House bell, as the citizens of a Western town were recently sum moned to tear up the tracks of an unpopular railroad. Bells sung by Poo, may, perhaps make harmony; rung by muscular arms, they mnko discord. THE DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMANSHIP. The great and nll-absorbing question as to who should manage the Democratic coffee pot during the ensuing campaign has nt last been settled. There was a decided row in the Ilarnsburg convention over the matter, one faction desiring to have tho chair man of tho State Central Committee elected by ballot, while another wished the choice to be left with the candidates themselves. The latter finally prevailed. Hon. William A. Wal lace, of Clearfield county, who has hold tho position for three or four years past, although very active in turning out coffee-colored natu ralization papers, has not given entire satis faction to the rank and file of the party. For this reason he was counted out of the compe tition, but presented a candidate in the person of Mr. B. Frank Myers, one of tho editors of the Harrisburg Morning Patriot. When his Home was mentioned in the hearing of Alder man McMullin, that redoubtable leader of the city Democracy remarked that it was all right; that the west might as well have the choirman if she wished it, as Philadelphia would spend her own money as she saw fit, "any how." Yet the Hon. Samuel J. Randall and Lewis C. Cassidy, Esq., of this city, at once entered the race for the control of the coffee-pot, in defiance of the Alderman's injunction. Be tween the two Thiladolphia rivals for tho posi tion there has long existed a bitter feud, and the selection of either of them by the candidates would have disgusted and disaf fected the adherents of the other. The selec tion of yix. Myers was equally objectionable, for he was clearly understood to be a mere automaton, with the wires and strings in the hands of Senator Wallace. In this dilemma, it appears that Messrs. Packer and Pershing have hit upon the bold device of selecting a new man, and Hon. William A. Galbraith, of Erie county, is the one they have fixed upon. Under his leadership they hope to unite all the factions of the party, and sail into power over an unruffled sea. Time will show to what extent they have been able to penetrate the future. But there is certainly a great deal of fitness in the appointment of Galbraith. He comes from the extreme west ern part of the State," and the west vas under stood to be under the thumb of Cass. Gal braith, however, broke loose from the Cass phalanx before the convention assembled, de clared for Packer, carried his county delega tion with him, and worked with a will to secure the defeat of his section. To him, per haps more than to any other man in the conven tion, Judge Packer was indebted for his nomi nation, and now he has his reward. Mr. Gal braith is a very genial sort of a person, but time alone will show whether he possesses those peculiar qualifications which are ren dered essential by the very peculiar Mad of work which falls to the lot of a Democratic Chairman in a closely contested campaign.

D'ARINC ATTEMPT TO ROD HERRING'S PATENT FllANKLINITE BANKER'S CHEST.; Pkrbyvillk station, Pknnsylvawa RR,, June 12, 1S6. MESSRS. FARRBl, HBKRINa A Co., No. U9 Chesnat street, Philadelphia. Gents : A persistent bat unsuccessful effort was made on the night of May 29, 1869, to drill the Banker's chest received from you a few menth ago. From facts thiit have come to our knowledgo, it la evident that the attempt to open It was renewed on Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill It useless, the effort was then made to break the lock. The hammering was heard by parties In the neighborhood for several hours, but supposing It to arise from the railroad men replacing a defective rail, excited no alarm. The tools, with the exception of the drills, were left. It la evident that they were not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the construction of your Chest. That they failed Is another evidence that your Blinker's Chests are what you claim for them, Burglar-Proof. Respectfully yours, 6 IB 4p J. BALSBACK, Agont 171 L. MESSES.
