FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1869.
THE CITY COUNCILS.
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.

The seizure of Mood's distillery, and nrtmn A

Selectirfg some choiee passage of the best standard au-tlioi-M,
of sufficient lunirtb to occupy halt an hour in it. pe
rusal, there is here food for thought for every day in the
year; so that if the purchaser will devote but one-halt hour
each day to its appropriate seleotinn, ho will read through
these Mt volumes in one year, and in such a leisurely man
ner that the nobiost thoughts of many of the greatest
minds will be firmly implanted in his mind forever. We
venture to say, if the editor's idea is carried out, the
reader will posness more information and a better know
ledge of the Knglish classics at tbe eudof the year than
be would by rive years ot desultory rending. Thoy can be
coii.inenced at ary day of t he year. The variety o'f rending
is so great that no one will ever tire of these volumes. It
is a library in itself. 2 2mwtrp
