Sfvf.hal matters of interoHt camo up for con Kid ration before City Councils yesterday. Mr. Hookey, one of the Democratic mem bers of Select Council, showed a disposition to Andrew Johnsonize the Mayor, and to get Hp a tenure of office issue in regard to the policomen, but his efforts wore not attended with any great degree of success, and his failure is apparently attributable, in part, to his abandonment of his own project. After offering a resolution directing the Mayor to reinstate certain policemen who irore summarily removed, "which was amended Jby adding other names, and after declaring that he doubted if the Mayor had the autho rity to summarily dismiss officers without the consent of Seloct Council, Mr. Hookey voted for a postponement of the considera tion of the whole subject, but it was finally referred to the Committee on Police. There is but little hope, however, that that body will discover any legal remedy, under the present system, for the glaring evil of a partisan reorganization of the police force whenever a Democratic Mayor succeeds a Republican, or vice versa. The people must look to the Legislature for an amendment of the vital defect in the Act of Consolidation Which permits these wholesale removals. They are no longer tolerated in any other large city, and if they are to be continued here the effi ciency of the police will be so much weakened that it will be scarcely worth maintaining. Since the citizens are called upon to pay about a million of dollars per annum to sup port this standing army, they have a right to ! expect and demand that it shall be so consti tuted as to render the greatest possible amount of good service; but when their money is wasted in supporting men who are the serviceable allies of the dangerous ene mies of society, who give information to criminals to assist in their escape from justice, and who refuse to ap pear in Court to testify against ar raigacd prisoners, they are taxed to sustain and aid, rather than to repress crime. While ball jt-box stuff ers can demand as a reward for theft guilty partisan zeal that their criminal associates shall be quartered on the city as policemen, we can never expect a creditable force, especially as they supplant hundreds of men who had served the city long and well, Lvtt who were turned adrift solely on account of their refusal to subscribe to Democratic doctriues and to support Democratic candi dates. There is no excuse for a refusal of the Republican Legislature of the Slate to provide a remedy for these wrongs. If they disregard partisan considerations altogether, let them so arrange a commission that hereafter the force may be composed of Republican and Democratic appointees in approximately equal proportions; but let them, at all events, rescue the city from the manifest evils arising from changes on political grounds, and the Substitution of raw or unworthy new ap pointees for faithful and trustworthy officers. A deep interest was also excited by the message of the Mayor vetoing the resolutions approving the sureties of the Republican candidates for City Solicitor, City Controller, Receiver of Taxes, and City Commissioner, wlose right to hold those offices was affirmod by the late decision of the Court of Common Pleas. Under the circumstances, the Mayor no doubt felt constrained to give to his fellow cpndidates on the Democratic ticket of 1808, who were less fortunate than himself, all the benefits that could possibly arise froai his veto while the appeal to the Supreme Court remains undecided. But his action appears to have met with little favor in Common Council, where the sureties were approved, in spite of his veto, by a vote of 3 1 to 7. The Select branch did not act on the subject, and if the question assumes a strictly partisan aspect there he may be sustained, as the Re publicans do not possess a two-thirds vote, but it is considered not improbable that he will also be overruled in that body. In the Common branch, after the passage of an ordinance appropriating $700,000 to the Commissioners of Fairmount Park, a spirited debate sprung up on an ordinance appropri ating $53,400 to the Water Department, in the course of which the action of the present Chief Engineer was on the one hand bitterly denounced and on the other warmly de fended. Councilman Evans entered the lists against h'ra, charging that he had expended more money during his administration than Lis predecessor, Birkenbine, and making the Jold allegation that the evils arising from the xecent drought were owing to his incompetency. Mr. Hanna, in defense of tho Chief Engineer, declared that the assaults made by Evans were prompted by personal feeling. Final action was prevented by the absence of a quorum, and the discussion is only important on account of its exhibition of hostility on the part of several Republican members to tie present Chief Engineer. MAKING THE NAVAL SERVICE roruLAii. It is gratifying to find that Secretary Robo non is alive to the necessity for making the naval service popular with seamen, by dimin ishing their hardships and granting them as inuch liberty as is consistent with good disci pline. The circular issued by him under date Of October 21, for the guidancoof the oflloors tho navy, expresses idnnn thnt will be most p filial! prrrTei of, ani if Ilia caiiiwaui- THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA. FltfDAY ing officers carry out the Secretary's instruc tions in the spirit that they are given, thoy will do much towards inducing good men to enlist in the navy, and to remain there per manently. The Secretary very wisely thinks that the seamen in the navy should not need lessly be denied such indulgence as may be consistent with the efficiency and disci pline of the service. This is a rather hard rap over tho knuckles of certain commanding officers, who seem to imagine that discipline can only bo maintained by a constant exerciso of severity, and who, by their conduct towards those under their command, so far from muking tho navy popular, canso many a gallant tar to swear that if he ever gets out of Undo Sam's clutches ho will never put himself in a like prodicamont again. Many officers dole out a few hours' liberty on shore and other indulgences as if they were granting personal favors, and many men, after being confined on board ship for long onuses, are deprived of their liberty on shore as a punishment for the most trivial offenses. Indeed, this is ono of the favorite punishments with many officers, who inflict it for reasons that are often exceedingly inade quate, while to the men it is particularly galling, tending to make them dissatisfied far moro than some apparently severer penalties would do. In the year 1802 Congress passed a law forbidding, under heavy penalties, such punishments as tricing up by tho thumbs, bucking, gagging, and others equally outra geous, and tho officers of the navy were re stricted to certain prescribed modes of re ducing incorrigiblos to subjection, which, however severe, wore not necessarily cruel. There is good reason to believe, however, that this law is frequently disregarded, and a number of cases have been lately brought to tho notice of tho public in which commandors of vessels have been charged with cruelty to wards their men, and with practicing the very modes of torture that are forbidden. The enlisted men in cases of this kind have a remedy, it is true, if they can only got a hearing; but there are innumerable difficulties in the way that, in a large majority of cases, practically leaves them no redress. Any complaints to the Navy Department against a commanding officer are obliged to pass through the hands of the officer himself and to roceive his endorse ment before tho Secretnrj will take any notice of thorn and tho consequence is that if a complaint is made, it is the easiest thing in tho world for tho offendor to pocket it and thus prevent it from coming under the notice of his anperior. This in reality is often done, and if the aggrieved seaman waitsuntil his ship comes into port and he is discharged, he finds himself without tho means to employ counsel, and is beset by other difficulties, so that he is really without a remedy and must submit in silence. The Secretary of the Navy will be doing a good thing for the service if he will follow up the instructions of his circular by offering the subordinate officers and seamen more oppor tunities than they have at present to obtain justice when they aro wronged; and unless he does this, his humane and kindly recommenda tions might as well never have been . made, so far as some of the officers in the service aro concerned. The Secretary, in addition to his wish that the seamen should be allowed more privi leges, condemns the practice of withholding their pay until tho end of the cruise, and espe cially the practice of taking away their pay by summary courts-martial. He wisely and humanely remarks that "summary courts martial are intended to punish cases not serious enough for the attention of a general court, and there are a variety of punishments proper to be inflicted, which will be found effective to maintain discipline, without tak ing from the sailors the compensation for their time, labor, and exposure." That the Secretary of the Navy should be obliged to issue such a circular as this shows that the service is not popular with seamen, as it ought to be. Almost absolute power, like that wielded by the command ing officer of a United States man-of-war, too often has the effect of making men arbitrary and cruel in their treat ment of subordinates; and there are officers now in the service who sigh for tho good old times when they could order a poor fellow up to the gangway and give him a dozen lashes on his bare back for such offenses as spitting on the deck, not tying up his hammock neatly, and others of like character. Although this sort of thing is now done away with, life on board a man-of-war can be made utterly un bearable by a series of petty annoyances if the commander happens to have an ugly dis position; and while discipline must be main tained at all hazards, there is no reason why the sailors should not bo treated as men, or that they should not have any indulgence consistent with the good of the service. We hope that Secretary Robeson will Bee that his circular is not made a dead letter; for if its recommendations are carried out in a proper spirit, it will do more to attract good, roliable, and skilful sailors into the navy than any other policy that could be adopted.
