LINE AND STAFF IN THE NAVY.
V'om the N. V. Time.
TLo true solution of llio vexed lino and
ptaff qnoHtion niiiHt evidently bo sought in a
fair compromise between the demand of the
extremist of one nchool of opinion and the
othor. We hoard, during tho Into war, or
rather after it, a bureau chief, who nover had
boou an aotion, and never proposed to Hie
one, deuinnding that his utall'-rank should be
that of "Roar-Admiral." On the other hand
we find Rome line officers who have seen few
or no battles demanding that even surgeons
nnd engineers, who have Rhared the perils of
glorious naval victories, shull have no rank atk
all, becanso they are "non-combatants."
Now, it is perfectly evident that if the mat
tor bo referred to Congress, as it will be this
winter, neither of those extreme views can be
maintained. We cannot suppose that either
Las found favor with the Naval Hoard, to
which Mr. lloboson has lately referred the
subject, and before which, as it is composed
of the bix Chiefs of lmreaus and therefore
includes those of Medicine and (Surgery and
of Chief Engineering the case of the Sur
geons and Engineers has received, we may
suppose, fair consideration.
In the first place, is it true that we can
pronounce the staff "non-combatants" in
any such invidious sonno as extremists of the
, line adopt ? A paymaster is not necessarily
a valorous fighter, but ho is exposed to tho
perils of action when on board the ship in
tattle, and may be called on, we believe, to
repol boarders, in which case he becomes
most essentially a combatant. A surgoon is
not a sailor, but he shares all a sailor's dan
gers in time of peace, and not a few of them
in time of war. An engineer is not a mid
shipman, and may not know how to sail a
pleasure boat; but in these days of Bteam
navigation, when the line-of-battlo-ship has
given place to the monitor, when stokers
outnumber Bailors, and when it is even more
important to steam a ship than to sail it, it
will not do to look down on engineers inde
pendent of the fact that, as on the Missis
sippi during the late war, their situation is
often nearly as exposed, and their dangers
from a shot entering the ship are as great as
that of others.
But, passing this point for a moment, sup-
J)ose we admit the accuracy of this distinction
etwecn combatant and non-combatant how
does it follow that this distinction should be
Used for depriving the star!' of any rank due
to it on other grounds f No such discrimina
tion is made in the army, and none such need
1)0, therefore, it seems to us, in the navy,
For example, it would be an extraordinary
thing if a general officer's staff in the army
had no rank; or, putting the case more accu
rately, if officers serving in Bureaus in the
Pay Department, in the Medical Department,
or in the Engineer Corps were thoreby de
prived of the rank otherwise due them.
Nor should we overlook the fallacious con
sideration Bometimes presented, that surgeons
and chaplains, in the event of being captured
by an enemy, are not usually considered pris
oners or war. it is only necessary to say that.
as this distinction is not of force, on the pre
sent 8u d j oct, in tne army, it need not be in
the navy, especially as paymasters and but
geons rarely or never have similar exemption,
and are olten imprisoned. In the army, pay
masters have been brevetted not only for
"meritorious services" in their own lines of
duty, but for gallantry in special aotions, in
which, finding an opportunity for being use
ful under fire, they accepted it.
On the other hand, however, we think the
staff have pushed their demands in a way
quite as extreme and objectionable as the
line have opposed them. No doubt it was
the ridiculous pretensions, in good part,
already alluded to, on the part of some of the
staff, to rank as high as the line, when their
own consciousness ot tne nature 01 their vo
cations should have suggested a different
standard, that roused the line to extreme
hostility.
What we think can be arranged certainly
ought to be arranged is a fair compromise
between these diverse demands. Lately the
controversy has been embittered in many
ways. The line, on the one hand, having
that "possession which is nine points of the
law," sometimes treat the dispute a little too
cavalierly or derisively. The staff, on the
other hand, bent on having rank, do not
scruple some times to attack the whole ser
vice, in hopes of thereby injuring the confi
dence of the country in the line. If the
Naval Board can handle this question pro
perly, or Congress shall show itself equal to
the task, we may perhaps soon see the end of
a controversy already greatly injurious to the
discipline and efficiency of the service, and
likely to be more so in future.
FACTS ABOUT THE CHINESE.
From the Missouri Republican.
We have before us the report of the Board
of Trustees of the San Francisco Chinese
Protection Society, which affords some inte
resting facts and statistics concerning a peo
ple in whom we are now somewhat concerned,
and about whom we are eager to gather all
accessible information.
The Chinese, it would appear, are a people
thoroughly addicted to system in business.
Those m California,' from the richest to the
poorest, from the merchant to the rag-picker,
are all directly or indirectly under the super
vision of what are called the "Six Companies,"
organizations similar to our express compa
nies, which manage the whole business of emi
gration. These companies are governed by a
board of trustees residing in California, but
having their chief officers in China, directly
under tne control 01 ine uninose uovernment
They keep a record of every man, woman, and
child who arrives in San Franoisoo, also a list
of all who return, die, or leave California. The
number of the dead is ascertained by the bones
cairied back to China for every Chinaman
who dies abroad is religiously transported
back to his native land for sepulture. The
agents of the "Six Companies" along the Pa
cifio coast carefully gather the dead and send
them to San Francisco, for shipment to Hong
Jvong. Those wno me at sea are not com
mittd to the waves, but likewise carried home
for interment. The savings of the Chinese
are collected and remitted to their native land
by the "companies." These Ravings amount
' from $20,000 to $100,000 by eaoh steamer, the
sum being made out by contributions which
vary from if 2 to $100. They are sent to the
poor menus ana relatives oi me aonors, as
presentu, or to aid them to migrate to the
United States. The total arrivals of Chinese
on the l'acifto coast have been 1138,, WIS; of
whom 37,323 have returned, 10,42(5 have died,
and 0,8i7 still remain. There are now 41,000
In California, the remainder, 4!,H37, being
thus dibtributed: In Montana, 12,000: in
Nevada, 7000; in Idaho, 10,01)0; in Oregon,
HOOO; along the Taenia Railroad, 8.r()0; ami in
Colorado, 4000. In California tho proportion
of femalos to males is one to eight; and there I
are !l(M0 children and boys. There are
nt in uio ainornia tenitontiary, out of a
total of 700 convicts there. An estimate gives
the proportion of white convicts in tho prison
as l out oi every 230 of the male adult nonu-
lation, and the proportion of Chinese as 1 out
oi every 400. There are 27.r0 Chinese in San
Francisco engaged in tho business of making
cigars; 4.S0 employed an domentio servants;
1 Hi as laundrvmen. and 17 doctors. Of tho.
in the interior of the Stale, estimated at
24,000, ;r00 are miners. 200 are wood-
choppers, l.ri()0 are domestics, aud 1500 are
employed in mills and factories. During the
year 18(1!) tho arrivals were 12, 701, and tho
departures 13,104, This includes the time
from January 1 t November 20, and shows
that the immigration has not been as large as
has generally been supposed. Of the 13,104
who have left San Francisco during the year,
(H1 returned to Jmna, 1H0 wont to the
northern and southern coaRts, and 777
went to tho interior. Of those who
arrived during the year, about two-thirds
came by the I long Kong and Yokohama
regular steamers, and tho remainder by sail
ing vessels. There aro about ono hundred
Japanese of both Boxes and all ages in Cali
fornia, but they are distinct from tho Chinese
in their habits and customs. The trade of
18(i!l between San Francisco and China shows
$!,377,577 of exports, of which $(,!):!(;, (J 10
was treasure, and $1,213,81!) of imports
showing a balunce in our favor of $5,1(!3,758.
The exports consisted, besides treasure, of
manufactured goods, flour, quicksilver, lum
ber, wheat, fish, fruits, and oats; the imports
were miscellaneous goods, teas, sugar, riee,
nut oil, and opium. The report, incidentally
alluding to the bullion trade of China, men
tions that it amounted in 1808 to $87,337,219,
and tnat the general trade of Hong Kong ex
ceeds $100,000,000 annually.
tin tne point ot personal habits, the report
informs us that they are industrious, remark
ably sober, punctual in fulfilling engagements,
and religious in their way; and their system
of marriage, if not in accord with our notions,
is "not much worse than Mormonism or free
love." The idea that they live on rice and
garbage is scouted; they are as fond of good
living as other people, and enjoy it when they
can afford to. M early all the large American
stores have Chinese signs on their windows,
and keep Chinese clerks, to solicit Chinese
custom. Still, there is a strong opposition to
them from certain classes of people, and the
society from which this report emanates was
organized to afford them protection.
A 1UDICUL0US DIPLOMAT.
From the N. T. Sun.
Mr. John Jay is Minister of the Unite d
States to Austria, and represents onr country
at the Court of his Catholic and Apostolio
Koyal-lmpenal Majesty Irancis Joseph 1, in
the beautiful city of Vienna.
The petition of our Minister to Austria, where
in he asks the civil and criminal court of Baden-
Baden to prevent his wife from having the
chills and fever, shows that Mr. Jay has suc
ceeded in getting into an absurd family
quarrel, and has chosen to do this in a way
to attract the largest share of public at
tention. Since the present aaministration began,
brothers-in-law have gained prominent noto
riety. Mr. Jay, like those in more eminent
position, has been brought into trouble by his
brother-in-law. This gentleman is Hickson
W. Field, Jr., of New York. While Mr. Jay's
family were at Homburg, this festive youth
arrived there, nis father having mad
a will in which he had given the largest share
of his property to Mrs. Jay and tier children,
young Hickson had beoome irate. Ho de
manded his sister's assent to a change in the
will. She refused it. Upon this the terrible
young man made remarks of a severe nature,
which caused Mrs. Jay to have an attack of
chills and fever.
Mr. Jay was at Vienna when he learned of
this occurrence. He took the first train for
Homburg. There he found what his brother-
in-law had said, nis remarks being sucn as
"that he would raise " and "crush them!"
Mr. Jay incorporates all this into his appeal
to the Baden-Baden tribunal, lie says that
he is obliged to return to Vienna and cannot
take hia family with him, as they have been
ordered elsewhere by their physician; that he
fears Hickson will carry out his threats; and
that his son is soon to go home to America,
bo that he cannot protect the rest, tie asks
the Court to summon the necessary parties
before it, and take measures to guard them
against the anrry brother-in-law.

the United States appears in the role 01 a pe
titioner to a court of a petty hi th-rate Iter-
man principality, all about a family quarrel
in which the avarice of both Bides is the most
prominent feature. Why did not his son, who
is Bet forth in the document as "Lieutenant-
Colonel William Jay," have warlike ardor suf
ficient to raise something on his part, and in
continently kick Field out of his house when
he abused his mother? That would have
saved all this flourish of trumpots and of
titles which a respectable American ought to
be ashamed to write out in full, except when
he cannot help it. If legal proceedings were
necessary, a lieutenant-colonel ought to be
man enough to institute them without calling
the parent Jay from his gilded cage at the
Austrian capital. The whole affair seems to
us one of those operations concerning dirty
linen which, in the common opinion of man
kind, should be confined to the wsh-tub atb
home.
On one account we are glad to hear of Jay s
silliness. It will annoy the snobs and trouble
those who fancy that an avaricious and foolish
individual can make a great country ridicu
lous. But it is painful to reflect that Presi
dent Grant chose such a man for the Austrian
mission in preference to William Cullen
Bryant.
THREE DOLLARS A SECOND!
From fK St. Louis Democrat.
That is the rate at which, under the present
aaministration, we are paving off tne debt.
Just $71,903,25 in nine months; $7,989,280
for each month; $1,997,320 for eaoh week;
$200,300 for eaoh day; $11,093 for eaoh hour;
$184 for each minuto; and $3 "04 for each
second.
Without increase of taxation, remember!
The taxes are not a bit higher than they were
in the lust year of Mr. Johnson'H administra
tion, when we did not reduce the debt. The
people pay the Hame sum of money, but
beventy-two millions more of that money goen
to reduction of the debt, which wan then
wasted in needloBs expenditures or stolen by
corrupt omciais. The new administration,
therefore, saves of the people's money three
dollars a second. As compared with his pre
decessor, rremuent urant has saved oi tne
people's money every day more than his
whole salary for the vear. That sort of
public Hervant pays !
We do not believe that thin rate of taxa
tion oujjut to continue. It was necessary
under Johnson: it is not necessary now. Hut
while it (loan continue, we believe that the
money puid by the people ought to be neither
wasted nor stolen, and rejoice that so niuoh
of it has been saved by greater efficionoy and
honesty of administration. We havo about
thirty-eight and a half millions of people;
there has been Raved in nine months $71, !
525; the new administration has therefore
Raved for every man, woman, and child in tho
country $1-87, or at the rate of $2,50"T
capita in taxes of all kinds, to Government.
Out of nine dollars and fifty cent, we are
now Raving and applying to the reduction of
the debt two dollars and fifty conts per capita,
which was formerly wasted or stolon.
Now if Government will just do two other
things, the people will be very glad. We
don't want to pay the debt at present; this
Generation has borne burdens enough, Re
duce the taxation to ho ven dollars per c apitu.
Let the people have the two dollars and fifty
cents per capita to holp thorn in their indus
try and their livintf.
And second, we don't want to pay taxes
which do not go to the Government. We are
prying taxes to monopolists, of which Gov
ernment f'ots not ono cent, amounting to at
least one hundred millions more, or two dol
lars and sixty cents per capita. Take off that
burden too ! Let us pay tho seven dollars
per capita to Government, which is required
to meet expenses and interest on tne ueoi.
And then lot us not pay the two dollars and
sixty cents which the Government does not
got, or the two dollars and fifty cents which
is now applied to payment of debt. There is
onr financial creed, briefly stated. The Gov
ernment needs seven dollars per capita. Let
us be taxed to pay that, and nothing else !
Wo are now taxed over twelve dollars aud ten
cents per capita:
FortxpeusoH of Government fT"0"
Wasted by Jobnnon and Biived by (iraut 20
For monopolists 2-60
$12-10
And we want tho two last items taken off
altogether ! What say you, men of the West;
would not a removal of five dollars per capita
of the burdens now borne bo quite welcome ?
General Grants administration is doing
well. Will Congress do equally well ?
