TUE ENGINEER CORPS OF THE
NAVY.
Wk bare every reason to believe that the
staff-and-line controrersj which has been
agitating the navy for many years past vfill
be definitely settled at the next session of
Congress by the passage of a law that will
give to the staff officers all the rights and
privileges they can justly claim. A cause of
present contention being removed, the atten
tion of Congress ought to be seriously di
rected to a matter of much greater conse
quence, namely the organization of the En
gineer Corps of the navy upon a proper and
substantial basis, and the establishment of
an engineering school that will provide for
the navy in the future a suppy of properly
trained officers of this class. It does not need
to be demonstrated that in the future, as at
present, steam and steam machinery will be
elements of the highest importance in naval
warfare, and the neoe3sity for bringing the En
gineer Corps to the highest state of efficiency
must be recognized by all who give the sub
ject the slightest c onaideration. A few years
ago, in the midst of the war, Congress did,
indeed, at the earnest solicitation of some of
our loading naval engineers, authorize the
appointment of cadet engineers, and made
various provisions for their education. Those
who drew up the law, however, either did not
feci the importance of the subject sufficiently
to give it the thought it deserved, or they
were incompetent to understand the real re
quirements of the case, for the whole scheme
fell through on account of its impraotioability,
and now there is the name of but one cadet
engineer on the Naval Register. In the
mean time the Engineer Corps has been ex
posed to the attacks of the line officers, who
appear to be inspired by a fear that the en-
' gineors will "steal their trade," and to the
demoralization induced by the bitter contro
versy on the subject of rank. The efficiency
of the corps has been most severely crippled
by the "improvement" introduced when
Admiral Porter was managing the affairs of
the Navy Department of sending out on each
vossel a chief engineer and one or two assist
ants to have a general superintendence of the
machinery, while the duty of standing watck
was to be performed by machinists shipped
for the purpose. This arrangement, we are
sorry to say, was countenanced by many of
the regular naval engineers, because they
hoped thereby to escape much of the dirty
and disagreeable duty that every person actu
ally managing large marine engines in motion
must expose himself to. An engineer who is
afraid of getting dirt and grease upon his
Lands in the performance of his duty has no
business to be in the navy, and if there are
any members of the corp3 who are so fasti
dious that they would rather entrust the
machinery of our national vessels to incom
petent hands than to soil their
own with vile grease, the sooner
the Government gets rid of them the
better, for it is certain that they are not in
spired by that enthusiasm for their profession
that all officers should possess if they are to
bo expeoted to perform good service. The
plan of shipping machinists for a cruise or
for a term of years is nothing more nor less
than a repetition of what was tried in the in
cipiency of the Engineer Corps when steam
was first introduced into the navy. It was
found then, as it will be found now, that men
With sufficient attainments to be entrusted
with the management of the large and com
plicated engines of our national war vessels
will not enlist on the terms proposed, and
that they will either be officers or else let the
navy severely alone. The consequence will
be that the Government will either be obliged
to employ the services of incompetent per
sons, or else the few engineers on board of
our men of war will be worked far beyond
their strength. This latter result has thm
far always oocurred when the experiment his
been tried.
This is but one example out of many that
might be adduced te prove the fact that the
Engineer Corps is not now upon a satisfac
tory basin, and this brings ns to the necessity
for a different kind of preparatory training
for naval engineers than id possible at pre
sent. The members of the Engineer Carpi
of the navy are drawn from civil life, and are
graduates for the most part either of our
machine shops or our polytechnic colleges.
It is rare to find a naval engineer who is,
upon hid entrance into the service, as tho
roughly posted in both the theory and prac
tice of his profession as he ought to be; aa l
although,oonsidering the disadvantages under
which the corps has always labored, its gene
ral culture and professional attainments are
most creditable, there are few of its mem
bers who will not readily admit that the present
system is radically wrong, and that if the naval
engineers of the future are to be what they
ought, it is absolutely necessary that they should
Lave the advantages of a Bohool conducted
under the auspices of the Government, where
both the theory and practice of engineering
will be thoroughly taught. We do not think
that it would be at all expedient to have such
a school attached to the Naval Academy, but
one might be established at League Island,
where every facility for practioal instruction
would be afforded by the immense workshops
that will be required for a great naval depot.
The establishment of such a school as this
ought to be an additional inducement for the
Government to commence at as early a day
a3 possible the work of preparing League
Island for the purposes to whioh
it has been devoted. But even
if all the difficulties that surround
the project of establishing a naval depot at
League Island are surmounted, it will be
some time before the place will be in order,
with all its workshops and other appurte
nauceb in active operation, and meanwhile
the iujprovemeut of the Engineer Corps and
tUd importance of providing for its future
ought to engage the early attention of Con
gress. There is no more important subject
connected with the management of the navy
than this, and as there are no personal
or class jealousies involved in It, as
there is in the staff-and-line controversy, no
good reason exists why aotive steps towards
the creation of a school of naval engineering
should not be undertaken at onoe, and the
project advanoed to a satisfactory oonolusion.
HEAPING CAM ER ON ISM,
The bold fraud attempted by Senator Came
ron to usurp the control of the Republican
organization of the State, through the flimsy
pretext of a Congressional committee, ctar-
tled the Republicans of Pennsylvania, and
aroused them to vigilance against his studied
attempts to debauch the party. His purpose
was well understood. The Senators chosen
at the late election will, during their last ses
sion in 1873, vote for Cameron's successor in
the United States Senate; and he has aimed
to attain the control of the means and organ
ization of the party to force the nomina
tion of his friends for Senators, or, failing
in that, to compel them to yield to his de
mands under the threat of defeat. The gene
ral revolt throughout the State drove Came
ron into a surrender of the control of the
campaign into the hands of the State Com
mittee, where it properly belonged, but he
devoted himself with ceaseless energy to con
trol the Republican Senatorial nominations,
lie succeeded by open purchase of conferees
in forcing the nomination of Mr. John
son in the Fourteenth district
(Lycoming, Union, and Snyder), and
made him afterwards publicly pledge himself
to vote for Cameron's re-election. The peo
ple well understood that they were asked to
vote for a man who meant to repeat the
shamofnl Senatorial sale of 18G7, at the cost
of the honor of the Republican party, and
they revolted boldly, making a change of
2400 on the Presidential vote of 1SG8. The
vote for Senator in that district was as fol
lows: rM., 1868. GOV., 1869. BEN., 1870.'

In the Twenty-first, a 'double Senatorial
distriot, the same attempt was made to sub
ordinate a great party to the mean ambition
of Cameron. He forced one of his favorites
(Mr. Woods) on the tioket, and after the
nominations were made, ho coerced Mr.
Wilson into an obligation to support his re
election. The result was a change of 3000
in the district on the vote of 18G8, and over
1000 even on the light vote for Geary in
18GD. The following is the vote of the dis
trict: PRESIDENT, 1863. SENATOR, 1870.

Thus, by the persistent efforts of Mr.
Cameron to force his re-election two years
hence against an overwhelming publio senti
ment, three Republican Senators have been
sacrificed, and the majorities against them
are decisive. Instead of one majority in the
Senate, the Republicans should and could
have had seven, but for the determination of
Cameron to defy the convictions and wishes
of every honest man in the party, in order to
repeat the shame of his election to the first
legislative tribunal of the nation. Messrs
Johnson, Woods, and Wilsou have been dis
carded by the people by large majorities,
because it became necessary to teach
the lesson that the Republican
party means to arrest the sale of its highest
honors to the meanest of its camp followers.
If the lesson of 1870 shall be ineffectual, it
will be repeated with inoreased emphasis in
1871, and if that shall fail, the election of
1872 will end Republicanism, and history
will preserve the blistering record that the
greatest and noblest party that ever triumphed
in Pennsylvania was sacrificed to the unscru
pulous and grovelling ambition of one who
was eminent only as a trickster and a plun
derer.
MUSICAL, Ani 1MIA.UATIC.
Madame Seebach as ' Alary Htuart."
Tbe utter unfitness of the Academy of Music lor
dramatic performances, except those of a purely
spectacular character, has been demonstrated so
often that it Is wonderful managers and artists will
risk money and reputation by going there. Of the
many sufferers by the vastnesa of the Aca
demy, Madame Marie Seebach, who appeared
there last evening as "Mary Stuart," miy be re
garded the chief, unless, Indeed, Mrs. Lander is
entitled to share the distinction with her. Mr. For
rest, Miss Cushman, Madame Rlstorl, and Wile
Janauscnek are actors of such power and breadth
of style that they can aot with effect even la the
Academy, but any one who has seen them In thea
tres of reasonable size can appreciate
how much even they lose by going there. In the case
of such an actress as Madame Seebach, whose style
is marked by delicacy and grace rather than by
boldness and vigor, It li only the possessors of
powerful opera-glasses who are able to form an ap
proximate judgment of her merits. Madame See
bach, by her performance of the heroine of Schiller's
poetical tragedy last evening, amply demonstrated
that her high reputation Is well deserved, and that
the Is (indisputably an actress of the first rank ; and
all of her auditors must have wished that she had
been afforded an opportunity to display her abilities
in a theatre where she could do nerso'J full juatije.
As It was, she achieved a brilliant artlstlo success,
and the audleuce fully made up la enthusiasm what
It lacked in numbers.
Schiller's ilary Btuart as a poem is entitled to
nothing but praise. It does not fulfil the conditions
of an acting tragedy, however, if we judge it by tUo
best English standards, aud tbe long explanatory
dialogues and the want of movemeut make it au
exceedingly dlnlcult piece to represent in such a
manner that it wtd not grow tiresome. In one
scene only, where the poet, in violation of the faots
of history, contrives a meeting between the
rival queens and engages tbeiu la what we
must not be considered as Irreverent in calling a
grand scolding-match, is any regard shown for that
lmicrtant element of dramatic art which we de
nominate stage effect, and throughout the rest of
the plar the unfortunate (jueen of Scots appears
as a passive sufferer. 1'rom tUe peculiar
construction of the tragedy the character
f "Mary S to art" is au exceedingly
difficult one to represent in such a manner as will
make a decided Impression npon aa average audi
ence; and if the first and firth acts are bard to re
deem from dulncss, the third act, where the quarrel
scene comes In, holds sat temptations for overact
ing and rant that none but an actress of superior
attainments would be likely to resist. The character
of "Mary Stuart," as drawn by Schiller, does not
admit of many opportunities for variety in tbe man
ner of its representation, and the difference be
tween the personations of any two actresses must
depend rather upon their methods of acting and
personal qualifications than upon any variations in
general conception.
Madame Seebach's "Mary Stuatt" is essentially
womanly, aBd with an art that is as great as it is
tine she gives ns, beneath the exterior of the sor
rowing and broken-hearted queen, a glimpse of the
wonderful syren the magic of whose charms appears
to have as much power to blind men to her errors as
they had three hundred years ajro, when she de
stroyed her lovers with a smile. Slight in figure,
graceful in movement, and with a most expressive
countenance that is capable of indicating
every shade of emotion, Madame See
bach outwardly fulnls the ideal of
"Mary Stuart" better than any actress of the day,
unless It may ba Mrs. Lauder. In the great scene of
the third act she rises grandly to the height of the
situation, and is terrible in the rage with which she
hurls back the insults of the English queen, but the
chief characteristics of her acting are delicacy,
grace, and a capability of expressing all the Oner
shades of emotion. These qualities were par
ticularly manifested in the passage in the
first act where her young champion, "Mortimer,"
brings her news of her friends beyond the sea, with
assurances of their sympathy; in the subsequent
interview with "Lord Burleigh," when she Is in
formed of the sentence that has been passed upon
her; and in the affecting scene of the last act, when
she bids fare veil to her faithful com panlms, re
ceives a blessing from the fatihful "Mclvll," and is
only disturbed for a moment by the apparition of
her lover, "Leicester," as one of the attendants at
her execution. Her performance of the part lacks
the wonderful power that Janauschck and Rlstorl
threw into it, but it is marked by a delicacy, retlne-
ment, and poetical sentiment of Its own ttiat set
it apart from the efforts of those great actresses,
and stamps it as a work of art of rare beauty.
The company supporting Madame Seebach con
tains some excellent material, and particular com
mendation is due to Mad'lle Veneta for an artistic
personation of "Queen Elizabeth," to Mr. Dombrow
ski,', ho appeared as "Leicester," and to Mr. Krauss,
who tepresented "Mortimer."
Mr. Frank Drew t the I'hemut.
Mr. Frank Drew appeared last evening at the
Chesnut to a large audience, and received a most
cordial welcome on bis return to Philadelphia after
an absence of four years, during which time he has
been making the tour of the globe. The parts of
"O'Brien" in The ih Emigrant and "Monsieur
Jacques" gave Mr. Drew excellent opportunities
to display the chief characteristics of his style,
which have not changed essentially during his ab
sence. Ills "Monsieur Jacques" is now, aa it
always was, one of his most pleasing performances,
and as an artlstlo piece of eccentric comedy it is in
every way worthy of the hearty applausothat it re
ceived last evening. As "O'Brien" in The Irish
Emigrant Mr. Drew Is not equal te some other
actors whose rcpresantations of the part is indelibly
impressed upon the memories of our playgoers, but
It is nevertheless a performance of much merit, and
combines pathos with humor in a manner that fre
quently calls to mind the fine comedian for whom
the play was originally written.
