7 HE FORTIFICATION- APPROPRIA
TION DILL.
The House of Representatives yesterday
passed a bill Appropriating $1,204,750 for the
repair, extension, and construction of fortifi
cations designed to protect the seaboard
cities. As usual, Philadelphia receives bat a
meagre share of the money devoted to the
proposed purpose, the appropriation for Fort
Delaware being only $18, COO, and for a bat
tery at Finn's Toint, opposite Fort Delaware,
$33,000, or a total of $51,500, while $222,000
is appropriated to three forts in the vicinity
of Boston, nearly $309,000 to forts adjacent
to New York, and $25, 000 to forts near Ban
Francisco. It is a matter of some doubt
whether any of the money thus voted away
will serve a useful purpose, oh aooount of
the ease with which fast modern vessels run
by any permanent fortification, but the bill
is advooated on the ground that the military
and naval men of Great Britain boast that in
the present state of our defenses their fleets
can enter every harbor on our sea-coast and
destroy every American seaboard city, and
that precautions of some kind against this
threatened danger are necessary. If this
theory is correct, we know of no good reason
why it is not as necessary to expend two or
tbree hundred thousand dollars for the
' protection of Philadelphia as of Boston,
New York, or San Francisco, unless
it be that the Congressional machine atWash
ington is run on the principle that anything
is good enough for this city. The appropria
tions for publio works and publio buildings
here are always reduoed to the most parsimo
nious standard, and if all national affairs were
conducted on the excessively economical sys
tem that is uniformly applied to Philadelphia,
the public debt would speedily be liquidated.
Single buildings in some of the American
cities have cost the nation more money than
all the structures it owns here, and it is a
matter of continual surprise and mortification
that the liberal spirit displayed in behalf of
other localities always receives a sudden
check when Philadelphia projects come up for
consideration.
A QUESTION OF PRIZE MONEY.
The custom of allowing to the officers and
men of our national vessels one-half of the
value of the captures they may make from
the enemy upon the high seas, is one of the
relics of an age when naval warfare was es
teemed to be nothing more than legalized
piracy, that still exist in our naval service.
In the army nothing of the kind is heard of,
and yet with quite as much justice might the
men who fight our battles on land be per
mitted to enrich themselves by pocketing
one-half of the value of property captured
or destroyed. The injustice of such discrimi
nation was forcibly shown during the late
Rebellion, when the army and navy were fre
quently in active co-operation; and those who
did the fighting on land could not under
stand why the men of the navy,
who were certainly not subjected to greater
toils or perils than themselves, should be en
titled to such a manifest pecuniary advantage.
The naval prize money not only created great
dissatisfaction in the army on acoount of its
unjust and partial discrimination in favor of
one branch of the military service that had
no greater claims than the other, but it was
the occasion of an immense amount of dis
content in the navy itself. Many of the
officers and men who were engaged upon the
most laborious and dangerous duty from the
beginning to the end of the war never had
the slightest chance to win a dollar of prize
money, and others who did participate in
the capture of prizes were deprived of what
they considered themselves entitled to. by
apparently partial decisions of the Navy De
partment, or by legal quibbles the force
of whioh no sailor could ever be made to
understand. Leaving out of the question
the abstraot justice or propriety of the prac
tice of allowing prize-money, it must be
admitted that, as the law does allow it, it
ought to be fairly divided among those who
actually won it, and that in any dispute on
the subject between the Government and the
naval officers, the latter should be permitted
to have a fair chance to prove their claims.
An example of the frequent injustioe that
was done in this matter is presented in the
case of Admiral Wilkes, who in now asking
Congress to interfere in a matter of $12,000
which he contends was ' improperly awarded
by the Navy Department to Admiral Lanman.
The facts of the case appear to be
that Wilkes was in command of
the squadron by which the prizes were taken,
but that T bad been ordered to relieve
him. Although the latter did not arrive at
his post until sixty days after the capture of
the prizes, the Navy Department, by some
system of logio that perhaps Mr. Gideon
Welles can explain, decided that as Lanman
had been ordered to relieve Wilkes he was
constructively in command, and was, there
fore, entitled to the money. . This is a case
that apparently does not admit of argument;
for if the money belonged to anybody it cer
tainly belonged to Wilkes. . He was in com
mand, and was responsible for the manage
ment of the squadron until he actually trans
ferred his authority to Lanman, and the Navy
Department and the country would have held
him responsible for all that he might have
done or left undone.
He could not plead in extenuation of any
blunder, mibtake, or neglect of duty tkat
Lanman was constructively in command, and
as all the responsibility was on his shoulders
he was entitled to all the emoluments up to
the hour of resigning his authority to his
successor. We can only account for the re
markable decision of the Navy Department
on the supposition that Admiral Wilkes was
in rather bad odor with Mr. Welles and the
"ring" that to a great extent controlled
him, and it was therefore determined to favor
Lanman at his expense. This certainly seems
to be a fit case for Congressional interference,
and it would be well if, while Congress is
about it, an inquiry could be made into the
whole system of paying- prize money, with a
view of determining whether the interests of
the Government or the welfare of the naval
service require that it shall be longer con
tinued. THE CASE OF COLONEL FORBES.
Yesterdat in the Court of Quarter Sessions,
before Judge Ludlow, George P. Thatcher,
formerly clerk in the Pension Agency of
Colonel Forbes, was placed on trial charged
with embezzlement of certain funds amount
ing to $300, on the 10th, 21st, and 22d of
January last. Our readers will recollect the
references made some time ago in these
columns to certain alleged irregularities in
the office of Colonel Forbes that appeared to
demand a much stricter investigation on the
part of the) Government authorities than has
yet been given. Colonel Forbes made haste
to throw all the blame upon his clerk, and
the testimony given yesterday seems to indi
cate that the trial of Thatcher is intended
not only to shift the responsibility
of gross mismanagement and irregularity
from the shoulders of Colonel Forbes to that
of his clerk, but also to attract public atten
tion from the main subject. Colonel Forbes
was placed upon the witness-stand yesterday,
and although he did not deny that he had
loaned money to pensioners at exorbitant
rates of interest, he strenuously insisted that
the particular sum belonging to the Govern
ment which was charged in the indictment
was used without his authority. As Thatcher
was on trial charged with embezzling a
specified sum at a specified time, the court
was obliged to rule out much testimony that
was offered to prove what the practices of the
office were with regard to loaning money to
pensioners, but we have affidavits in our
possession that show conclusively that needy
pensioners were bled without mercy by
Colonel Forbes as well as his assistants.
Colonel Forbes could not recollect yester
day whether he had authorized Thatcher to
take a certain due-bill from a pensioner or
not, but some of the pensioners have better
memories, although he admitted that he had
loaned money out of his own pocket in cases
that did not enter into this trial.
The testimony most to the point yesterday
was that of Dr. Strong, a pensioner, who
swore that on the l'Jth of January he ob
tained from Thatcher an advance of $25, for
which he gave a due-bill for $30, and that
subsequently this due-bill was deducted from
his pension by Colonel Forbes.
This is sufficient to show that there was a
full understanding between Colonel Forbes
and his clerk, and whether the Government
money was used in such transactions or not,
the fact that this discounting of pensions
was the common practice of the office is all
that is sufficient to prove that Colonel Forbes
is not a fit person to hold the position of
Pension Agent, and that he ought to be re
moved. The detectives who examined into the
affairs of Colonel Forbes' office found suf
ficient to convince them that things were not
managed as they should be, but the agent
of the Pension Bureau, after about two
hours examination of the books, returned
to Washington and reported that there was
nothing wrong. It is apparent to the com
monest understanding that a thorough ex
amination could not be made in the time that
the agent of the bureau devoted to it, as a
week would scarcely have been sufficient, and
his report was an evident attempt to white
wash the affair.
If Thatcher embezzled any of the Govern
ment money he ought to be punished, and
probably will be, but nothing has as yet
been brought forward to relieve Colonel
Forbes from the responsibility of not only
having sanctioned the irregularities alleged to
have been perpetrated in his office, but, on
the contrary, the whole bearing of the evi
dence is in the other direction. Whether the
Government funds were used or not, it is
practically admitted that the agent and his
clerks did advance money at outrageous rates
of interest to the pensioners, which should
be all that is necessary to procure the instant
removal of Colonel Forbes, unless the offloers
of the Pension Bureau wish to lay themselves
under the suspicion of being sharers in the
profits of the agents.
ANNEXATION OF BRITISH NORTH
AMERICA.
A besolution was introduced in the noose
of Representatives yesterday by Judge Poland,
requesting the President to open negotiations
with Great Britain and any or all of the
British North American Provinces, with
a view to the annexation of the lat
ter to the United States. We doubt
whether "manifest destiny" is sufficient
ly developed to ensure the speedy success of
this movement, but the proposition it em
bodies will doubtless be made in an authori
tative form some day or other, and it may be
well enough to commence operations now by
agitating it. The Eanucks are a stubborn
and stiff-necked race, with a large leaven of
loyalty and British tomfoolery still remaining
in their composition, and it is perhaps better
for all parties concerned that they should
tarry in the wilderness of colonial dependence
until they are thoroughly disgusted with it,
and until their British masters become in
tensely anxious to get rid of the unprofitable
task of acting as their guardians on any terms.
Their relations with the home government
a&fcume every day more and more of the
mutually discontented and dissatisfied charac
ter we have iudicaUi. Tbay cjuipl.ua that
they are made the victims of Irish hatred to
Great Britain, while England grumbles, in
turn, at the expense to which the Fenian
raids subject her, and threatens that she will
squander no more money in defense of her
overgrown children. The Kanucks know
that their industrial prosperity depends solely
upon unrestricted intercourse with the United
States, and as their hopes of obtaining this
privilege on any other terms than a complete
union vanish, their discontent increases as
rapidly as their impecuniosity. Still, old
associations of friendship and hatred and
aristocratic tendencies exert so deep an in
fluence on their social and political opinions,
that only a portion of their citizens cordially
adopt common-sense views of the living
issues of the day, and none of the hard school
ing of poverty, fruitless experiments, vain
hopes, and domestio disorders is necessary to
bring them up to the proper standard for
American citizenship, and to create in the
sordid British mind a thorough willingness to
surrender the vast but profitless British
American domain.
To-morrow afternoon the great base ball
game of the season will come off at the
grounds of the Athletics, Seventeenth street
and Columbia avenue, between the Athletics
and the Red Stockings, of Cincinnati. This
match has created the greatest excitement in
base ball circles from the fact that the Atlan
tics, of New York, beat the Red Stockings
last week by one run, while the Athletics
yesterday achieved a brilliant victory over
the Atlantics, beating them by nineteen runs
to three. On account of the unusual interest
in the contest to come off to-morrow after
noon, we have made arrangements to have
the score telegraphed to us direct from the
grounds, so that we will be able to give our
readers the score of the game as it progresses.
Each of our late editions will contain a re
port, and we will issue an extra edition at the
conclusion, giving the result.
In the enterprising town of Peoria there is
soon to be played a match game of base ball
between picked nines composed of distillers
on the one side and revenue officers on the '
other. If this contest is to be regulated by
the rules which apply to the standing contest
between these two classes, it is easy to foretell
the result. The distillers will be very apt to
make the most runs.
Seaside Literature, The 11 rat number of the
Cape May Daily Star has made Us appearance at
that popular summer resort. It will be published
every day during the season, and will be filled with
matters of interest to the sojourners there.
The Cape May Diamond has also resumed publica
tion for the season, presenting Its usual attractive
appearance.
It would seem that the "inspeeteurs de roorf" in
France, whose duty it is to ascertain that persons
about to be buried are positively and irrecoverably
dead before granting permission for the Interment,
do not all perform their Important functions with
the amount of care which might be desired for the
comfort of nervous Invalids. Recently a patient
called on a certain well-known Parisian doctor, who
is a duly-qualified "inspecteur de morta." While
waltlDg for the doctor's appearance In the consult-lDg-room
he felt overpowered by the heat, and fell
Into a deep sleep on the sofa. The doctor, on enter
ing, endeavored to wake the sleeper, but without
avail. Coming somewhat hastily to the conclusion
that his patient must be dead, he rushed off to the
police Btation, made the formal declaration of de
cease, and returned with two men and a litter to
convey the body to the Morgue. Great was his dis
comfiture on finding the supposed dead man rubbing
his eyes, and declaring himself much refreshed by
his nap 1 Had he slept on but an hour longer he
would have come to himself on a cool marble slab,
with a tap of cold water running on his head, and a
piece of leather about the size of a plate pour tout
cootuvtela novel position which might, perhaps,
have frightened him to death In reality.
An historical portrait gallery has been opened at
St. Petersburg. It Includes 600 portraits, of which
CO are portraits of Catherine II and 23 of Peter I
sovereigns who are both honored with the epithet of
"Great." One of the most remarkable portraits is
said to be that of the Scotch soldier of fortune,
Bruce, Enignt of St. Andrew and a Russian count;
and all, with the exception of sixteen or seventeen,
belong to the eighteenth century, which Is now, for
the first time, thrown open to the study and appre
ciation ot Russian writers. Almost simultaneously
With the opening of the Eighteenth-century portrait
gallery, the Grand Duke, heir to the throne, at a
meeting of the Russian Historical Society, an
nounced that he wished to present to the society all
Catherine IPs papers; and the two events are wel
comed by the Russian press as signifying, above all,
that a period hitherto known to them, as far as
their own country was concerned, through the
writings of foreigners Is now submitted to the ex
amination of native historians.
A Windy Walk. Lord Weymouth and Sir Archi
bald Home have recently taken the trouble to walk
up hill under circumstances of peculiar aggravation.
The classic slope of lien Ljmond was the seene of
the exploit, a pair of top-ooots was milord's outfit,
and an open umbrella the most noticeable Item In
Sir Archibald's. When It Is added that Bamn Wey
mouth made the tramp backward, and that the
whole affair transpired during a high wind, It will be
readily conceived that there was a high old time
generally, and that milord's receipt of the wager
staked upon the result was owing to the inconveni
ence of going np hill In a high wind with an open
umbrella, rather than to the facility with which such
a task is executed by turning one's back upon it.
