OLD AGE:
With lessening strain and fainter breath—.
slowly casing into death—
_When on tired eyes and heavy head
The weight of sleep begins to fall
Before the couch is spread,
Pidl ready to lie down, and glad
en comes the messenger we call
Aarael—is it sad ?
No more the rugged ways of youth;
The feetgrow tired. the way grows smooth,
The valley Meth , green below ;
The heart is grown in love• with peace,
The sharpness gone from woe:
Time with the old deals tenderly,
Making the joy of living cease,
That death-pain may not be.
What k; it that we name delight?
Youth, with tortures exquisite
Called Joys ?--a double-edged sword-:-
A sword whose blunter side is grief ?
Youth, heart-moved by a word ?
Its broken sunshine ripple-swayed;
Of loveliest things—of cloud and leaf—
Its flitting shadows made ?
Youth, with dreams that ne'er came true,
Its great impossibles to do,
Its little poesibles undone,
Its blossoms falling fruitlessly;
Its faithless April sun ?
Ab, overfull and restless heart!
Time soothes: ere quietness can be
Must losses do their part ?
That sap should fail, and leaves should drop,
And half the living pulses stop
Ere the tree fall, is sad, you say?
Nay tow, one learns to be content
• With slower living; day
sweetly, softly going down,
That none tan say "The light is spent"
Till night puts on her crown. °
Tito &ills , ' of History.
There is a kind of speculation to which
'writers of the inferior class are specially
none, but which has some charms even for
the most philosophical writers. If some
thing had happened which didn't happen,
what would have happened afterwards? Of
course no one can say positively, and there
fore no one should waste much time in in
quiring. Yet, in • looking back upon the
course of history, it is impossible not to dwell
for a moment upon some of the more import
ant crises, and to remark how small a differ
ence might have made an incalculable change.
We know the usual sayings about the decisive
battles of the world. If Thetnistocles had
lost the battle of Salamis, if Hasdrubel had
won the battle of the Metaurus, if Charles
Martel had been beaten by the Saracens, would
net the subsequent history of Europe, and the
world have been altered, and a great many
fine philosophical theories been destroyed
before their . birth? It is easy Tor Comte or
Buckle to talk about inevitable laws of his
torical evolution, and to prove that* , that
which has actually occurred could not but
have occurred. But if it is true that a ,dif
ferent event to any one of these or innumer
able other battles might have changed alt
succeeding ages, and if the event of a battle
might have been decided by a chance blow
or by the ilium of one commander, we can=
net deny that history might have been upset
if a single arrow had been sharper,, or if a
single general had had a fit of indigestion.
The theory that the world's history depends
upon such trifles as these does not really in
volve any of the metaphysical doctrines about
the freedom of the will with which it is
sometimes connected. All events may be,
irrevocably enchained, even if the perma
nence of the , chain depends upon the
weakest and least conspicuous links.
The state of Cesar's stomach on a
given day may be as much a part of
the unalterable order of the universe as the
fate of an army or the state of civilization of
a continent. Even the strictest believer in
universal causation may admit, without; pre
judice to his opinions, that the most trivial
circumstances may be of cardinal impor
tance. The reluctance to admit the ddetrine
about great events springing from trivial
causes results from another consequence of
the theory. Where the fate of a few persons
is concerned, no one would care to disphte it.
When Noah was in the ark, the most trifling
error of steering might (in the absence of
providential interposition) have shipwrecked
the whole human race. Now the logical dif
ficulties raised by necessitarians apply just as
much to a party of twenty as to twenty mil-
Mona. The importance of small causes does
not affect their theory more in one case than
the other. But philosophers are unwilling
to allow that the fate of whole countries
and of many generations can depend upon
these petty accidents, because it would ob
viously render all prediction impossible, and
at least leave the future of mankind depend
ent upon the chance of the necess4y hero
arising at the critical moment. Theoreti
cally, it is possible that two sets of gigantic
forces may be so nicely balanced that a grain
thrown into either scale will determine the
result; but we are naturally unwilling ,it•to ad
mit that such cases occur in practice, Because
it reduces to hopeless llneertaintyall our
most elaborate calculations. If Mary had lived
a little longer, or Elizabeth died sootthr, says
Mr. Mill, the Reformation would have.' ) been
gushed in England. People who believe in
a steady development of human thought arc
naturally unwilling to allow that the spread
of new ideas may be arrested or made possi
ble by the accident of a single woman's life;
for, on the same principles, we can have no
certainty that in a few years hence we may
not all be Roman Catholics or Mormons or
followers of Comte.
It is impossible here to discuss so large a
question as the frequency with which those
historical crises oecur in which the merest
trifle may turn the balance, or to inquire
whether they ever occur at all. But we may
notice shortly tvVo or three conditions of the
argument which arc frequently overlooked,
and which make most of these discussions
eminently unsatisfactory. Thus, for example,
the believers in decisive battles very seldom
take the trouble even to argue the real difli
chlty of the question. The defeat of Napo
ledn at Leipzig, or, perhaps, at Waterloo, it
has been said, changed the history of Europe.
It may be so, but the fact that a particular
battle was the most crushing, or the final
blow which he received does not even tend
to prove that a different result
would have been equally decisive the
other way. On the c pantry, a victory might
probably have been the next worst thing to a
defeat. The battles in which the Saracens
or tlic Hungarians received the final check to
their advance ' are in the same way reckoned
as decisive of history. But,to make this out,
we should have to prove that which is at first
sight opposed to all probability,—that, in the
event of a-victory, they-could-have -perma
nently held their conquests; and afterwards
that, if they had held them, they would not
have been absorbed by the conquered popu
lation. When Canute rebuked his courtiers
he happened to ; select a time at which
the tide was ruing. If, by a little manage
ment,they had induced him. to give the order
just as the tide turned, they might, perhaps,
have persuaded him that his order was the
cause of the change. A good many histori
cal-heroes seem to have been Canutes who
issued their commands precisely at the, turn
of thoi tide, and historical writers have " been :
crying out ever since that, if it had not been
for this= marvelous Canute, the tide Would
kiaye swelled until the whole country had
been ingulfed. The analogy is, of course,
imperfect, for the historical tide is really af
fected in some degree by the , hero who op
poses its progress at the proper moment,only
he hasa wonderful advantage if he happens
to strike just at'a fortunate esech.
Columbus may be taken for a, type of an
other application of the same pegument. I f
he had •never discovered America, it is said,,
there could never shave been a conquest of
Mexico, nor a negro slave-trade,nor a Consti,
tution ot the United States, nor a war of se
' cessfon, nor an Alabama difficulty; and some
I haters of democratic 'principles , have been
known to express a wish that the Santa
I Maria had sprung a leak about half
way across the Atlantic; as in a somewhat
parallel case, a naval captain has been
heard to regret, after one of those difficulties
which, occasionally spring up between naval
captains and gentlemen of the Hebrew
persuasion, that he was not in command of
one of Her Majesty's frigates when his ene-
I mica' tribe was crossing the Red sea. What
I might have been the consequences of such
1 an unexpected intervention in favor of Pha
raoh's host, it is not for us to inquire; but the
persons who attach so much importance to
the expedition of Columbus forget two im
portant circumstances. In the first place,
America had been apparently discovered
i several centuries earlier, as it is stated that
I Australia was circumnavigated some two.
hundred years before the birth of Capt. Cook,
I only the discoveries fell rather dead in the
days when systematic emigration was out o f the
question. New England had to wait for the
voyage of the Mayflower as the Australian
colonies had to wait till Old England was on
the look-out for a vacant space for convicts,
and afterwards for a superfluous population
of more respectable character. In the next
place, if Columbus had failed, nothing can
be more certain than that America
would have been discovered a few years
later. The courage, which he showed is not
the less praiseworthy bebcuse the most that
can safely be said' is that he antedated the dis
covery by a few years: .A large number of the
benefits which we owe to great men are of
the seine kind. They have been in advanee
of the macs of mankind, and have, therefore,
• caught sight of new discoveries a few years
'earlier. When Anierica was still a wilder
! nese, it was a great feat to reach the Missis
-1 sippi— As cultivation advanced it soon be-
I came as easy to reachthe Rocky - Mountains. -
;Every step forwards gave a better starting
! point to the next discoverer, and in the nine
teenth century it requires far less enterprise
to reach San Francisco than it did in the
seventeenth to get to the Falls of Niagara.
Discoveries in science or philosophy are
•in reality of the same nature. There are
truths waiting to be found out, and they are
less difficult of attainment for each succeed
ing generation: To grasp them now; a _man
must be a giant of ten feet high; to reach
them. to-morrow he need not exceed six
feet; and in a few days' every child, will be
able to get at them. Newtou solved the pro
hien' of gravitation, and in doing so made
one of the greatest strides that has
ever been accomplished by the human intel
lect. But,if Newton had died pren; a turely, his
fame would have been secured by some one
else. The .distance which he cleared at
once might have been passed in two or three
stages; but, so long as science was advanc
ing, it was as certain that some one asoffid
find the solutiOn of the riddle es it
was that some pioneer of civilization would
in time reach the Mississippi.
Even in the direction where this kind of
reasoning has the least probability, some
kind of case might he made out. • If Shake
speare had never been forced to come to Lon
don, it may be said, we should never have
the finest - dramatic literature
of the world. We should have
sunk through the whole interval , which
separates Shakespeare from the writer
who comes next to him in fame. All the in
genuity of all our own critiee,or those of Ger
many, would have failed to construct satis
factory idols out of Ben Johson or Beaumont
and Fletcher., Inthis case,the immense effiscts
which have been produced by a single intel
lect would have been absent, if by some ill
luck its possessorlad died prematurely. It
might, however, he i urged, even in this I
case, that a great poet or a great I
artist is never a solitary phenomenon. Homer, I
if Homer is not a collective name, was only.
the first amongst Many similar singers.
Shakespeare was the noblest fruit of an in
tense national activity all turned in the same
direction. When the time comes for the
qutburst of poetical genius, then one writer
who happens to be the ablest man of his age,
will give the best expression ot the thoughts
common to his age, and Will usurp the credit
which is probably due tokkall. We cannot
say what are the conditione which bring about
us this sudden intellectual spring such as oc
curred
in the Elizabethan era, or at the be- I
ginning of this century, but it is conceivable, ;
at least, that they may be deterfnined by a
superhuman intelligence as certainly as tlaise
which bring about the annual outburst "of'the
physical forces of nature.
Without seeking to Vstiftlitte the value of
such arguments, one result is equally obvious
in the opposite direction. It might be estab
lished that if we cut off any of the most pro
minent leaders of speculation or action, some
other would be ready to' take his place,— .
that, in short, the advance of the race does
not depend upon any individual, however
marked may be his
,genius. But it
does not follow that ~' great men are
useless, and that they are not indispensable
to a rapid advance. it only proves that,
to make progress certain, there must be
a supply of energetic minds ready to take the
place of those who May be accidentally lost.
If Newton had not solved the problem of .
i gravitation, some one else would have done
it a little later. But any number of genera-
I Lions of the ordinary undergraduate who is
plucked for his degree would be insufficient
even to keep science up to its level, far more
to advance it. It' we were limited to the '
class below the highest, we should at best
standstill, even if we slid not fall back. No
combination of commonplace' intellects
would discover the differential calculus,
or solve the problem. of planetary
motion, or be even capable of attacking the
difficulties involved in them, any more than a
million scribblers of poetry could produce a
Shakespeare, or a dozen bad generals pro
duce one Napoleon. It may be that the
existence of one great man implies, as a rule,
the existence of many others ready and able
to take his place; but the' rapidity of pro s
gress, or even the power of making progress
at all, depends equally upon the fact tloit
some men or some persons are able to take
considerable strides in advance. It is there
fore possible to reconcile a belief iii the fill- '
mense importance - of great men with a belief
S - that we could' dispense i - Vith any one great
i man taken singly.---/SWitdass• Review.
A Last Glimpse at Charles Kean
Our latest haipreSsion of Charles. Kean
brings before the mind's eye the picture of a
respectable, •elderly gentleman, drawn in a
Bath chair, and suffering from weak health;
but with his mind active, although he seemso
to prefer musing, yet with occasional Hashes
of merriment, that are wanting, however, in
the old ring of fun. Leaning over the side
of his chair, he whispers, with distinct ac-.
cent : "I know well enough that lam seri
ously ill, and that my life cannot be a long
one;. but I think it possible that I may yet
cheat, the doctors, and be able to fulfil my
present engagements."
The words were characteristic of the man
—"fulfil my present engagements ?" This is
what be had bees honorably endeaYoring
I ' N ' e ' . 11 . 4 a Pal' .D 4 • 'lB6B
to do for just forty years hefore he died; and
I it was clear that, when he-thus spoke to the
friend who walked by his side, his strong
wish was that no one should suffer, by disap
pointment or loss, owing to any failure on his
part to meet a given pledge. A soft, evasive
answer was all that could be offered in reply.
It needed no medical eye to perceiVe that a
mortal disease was only contending with a
strong constitution for a sure, though delayed,
mastery.
This incident brings us to the very simple
question, in what light did Charles Kean view
that "something after death" which every
one, at least with any measure of his intel
lect, must sometimes regard with sober ear
nestness. He had the simple faith of an in
telligent Christian, and accepted the law of
the Gospel as the law of human. life. Any'
such question as that of "vestments" he
would have scorned, except as it might have
come before him archielogically, and so led
him to investigate how a mediinval priest was
dressed. In this spirit he freely discussed
with the late Cardinal Wiseman the propriety
of wearing a black velvet scull-cap in the
character of "Wolsey," when the Cardinal
showed an interest in the great revival of
henry the Eighth at the Princess's Theatre,
and he flattered himself that be beat the Car
dinal over the disputed matter of costume.
Dr. Wiseman was a man of the world, and
was not averse to attending d rehearsal now
and then; but, as a man of the world, he ab
stained from appearing wheii the play was
publicly acted.
Kean detested every sort of conceit, and he
said on one, occasion; "You can have no idea
what we actors suffer in hearing the noble
Church service murdered by bad read
ing. Fancy a man beginning a prayer, '0
Galva,' instead of with the short, round,
Saxon 'o.'"
It must not be supposed, however, that
liean meant to constitute actors the critics
of clergymen; or that he considered his own
profession free from the defects of which he
was so nervously susceptible when he en
countered .them in the Church. No one
could bo more alive than he was to the proper
enunciation of the English language ou the
British stage, or lamented its imperfection
more_deeply. Ile felt the degradation of
having Shakespeare "mouthed" when he was
himself acting; and he would, no doubt, have
rejoiced if the rule of the House of Com
mons (which only cheers a certain member
when he puts an ll.in the rifiht place) could
have been carried out at the theatre also.
To be early associated with refined and in
tellectual society is of infinite advantage to
the actor. This is more important to him
than that he should become a fine scholar,
which the deep Maly of Shakespeare will in
sure- ' and so far' Charles Kean derived the
seeds of his professional success from his
Eton' training. His schoohfellows never
spoke with provincial brogue. Wherever
born they used the language of the court or
the capital; and his father would chastise any
mispronunciation as surely as John Kemble
told George IV. what better became the
royal lips when the Prince was guilty of - a
conventional error of speech. Kean's enun
ciation, therefore, was classical from the first,
and he talked, when a school-boy, as the
Greeks talked at Athena.
We see him once again on his way to the
boats at the Brocas ; the least in stature
among the'strapping crew to whom he gave
the stroke. He chaffs good-Ivarnoredly come
"lower boy" who'is passing him—he was al
ways kind to and protected "lower boys"—
aud he moves with a lithe, springy step,
showing hodily activity,' : while his shoulders
exhibit unusual width and depth. Persm
ally, he was then remarkable; with black,
curling hair, freckled features, a piercing
look, an air which betokened more of the man
than boy, and there was a slight curvature at
the side of the mouth when he spoke; grace
ful and gentlemanlike in carriage, yet sug
gesting some. connection with artistic life.
Thirty •years after this time we walked
with him across the Park, on a summer after
nooi towards the Princess's Theatre. He
is now in the, responsible receipt of about
.c:)o,Ooo a year, and lie can bear the responsi
bility. It is a line position which he has
attained ; he is master of the Queen's revels,
the king of the British stage. The street
sweepers—his pensioners ever afterwards—
show him marked respect ; one urchin drops
his broom, and tumbles sideways half a
dozen times on the causeway, in com
pliment to 111t./(.6e1//, who is simple
and childlike himself, and this somer
sault pleases him. In his dressing-room
with A-- -L—, who always acted as valet, and
with whom in early struggles he had once
been stranded fur a night at Gatterick
Bridge, anti could not pay for the postchaise
next day to Darlington until he had her
rowed a guinea from Harley—with A-- he
keeps up a running lire of jokes until the
call-boy's summons anti our dismissal from
the taut:turn.

They have a readiness 'of resource
.which
enables them to say the very thing that is
most right, at the very moment when it is
most wanted, to rectify the blunders of
other people—of their stupid male rela
tives notably; to anticipate and prevent same
threatening contretemps, or to counter
act its effect a moment after its occurrence.
It enables them to set the talk going at
critical moments, and 'to keep it alive with
bright answers and lively repartee always.
It gives them the power of keeping people in
good humor, or of restoring their equanimity
when it is gone. This abundance of ideas
and quickness of fancy with which women
are for the most part so well endowed, leads
then, in certain cases, to all sorts of good
and wholesome results. In other cases, how
ever, where the capacity is lower, these same
qualities have a different issue and are shown
chiefly in the development of an extra
ordinary power of running on with talk of a
certain sort, not very exalted in quality,'
but quite unlimited iu amount. This run
ning; on faculty—as enjoyed by the
: ladies
of creation—is certainly worthy of note in
a treatise such as this. Its possessors are a
class apart, and are more numerous than
aright be supposed. They seldom leave off
or make pauses in their• talk, but rather link
together the different sections of their mono
logue with .words.. sit'. uncertain meaning ; or
repetitions of something already spoken, ap.
parently with the object of getting time in
which to collect new ideas, or else of pre
venting any •one else from taking ; advantage
of t pause to cut in. This running-on
capacity is not without value in its way,even
as it is exhibited in those who are unable to
keep it in order, and to regulate it duly;
as to those others who possess,^ in
combination with this gift, certain other
gifts of intelligence and discretion, it may
simply be said of 9.py society which 'includes
such persons withmeits limits, that it may be
congratulated on possessing all that can moat
completely ornament and enlivJu it.

Gazette is nn agreeable rattler 'enough—marry,

therryou may steal away: here is the etylli in
- which his persiflage runs off with him :
"It is said that M. Tillers is writing his me

Beuvo wrote his will, and has ordered in it that
no religious service whatever shall take place at
his funeral. Mme. .Marie Alex. Dumas has re
tinned to Paris froin a long Gernian excursion.
She and her father and some friends are about
to establish a newspaper, to be called 'La Dart-,
agnan,' destined to revive the public taste
for novels in daily slices: She has written a
novel ('limo. Benoit',) for it. M. Edmond

des Deux Mendes.' M. Paul do St. Victor, the
brilliant dramatic critic, quits `La Presse' at - the
end of this month for 'La Libertd.' llis successor
in 'La Freese' is M. Albert Aubert, the author of
a humorous book, 'M. Boudin,' which was quite
successful. Mr. Jessup, your well-known paper
maker, is In Paris buying all the rags ho can lay
his eyes on. The French Comedy is thinking of
opening a publicsubscription to erect a monument
to the late M. Poneard. The 'Revue de l'Orient'
is about publishing the memoirs of Selaatuyl, dic
tated by him to the Russian Colonel Rounowski.
I am gratified to be able to say M. Saint•Beuve,
whose health kaa long given serious uneasiness
to his friends, is so much better as to be able to
resume his studies.
"I regret to record the death of M. Elias Reg
nault in the deepest poverty. His friends have
been blamed for his wretchedness. They have
replied, their purses were open to him, and they
repeatedly tried to press money upon him. He re
fused to ask charity, and could not consent to
receive alms. He concealed his misery as well as
he was able from every eye, and wrestled with
evil fortune until he at last was thrown. He was
a steadfast Republican. Ells father was dis
tinguished during the first revolution, and was
obliged to fly from Prance with his family upon
the restoration.' M. Ennis Regnanit was born in
England during this exile, and there became
familiar with the English language. lie
was trained. to follow his father's profession—
physic—but from some cause or another (I be
lieve from inadequate resources) he gave up its
pursuit. He was M. Ledru Rollin's chief secre
tary during his ephemeral tenure of office. Be
might have secured Merative office had he been
willing to relinquish or dissemble his Tolitieal
principles, as was more than once suggested to
him. He could not sink so low as this, and he
dice prematurely, plunged as deep in poverty
as man could be. This is the common destiny
of literary men.

it to the French Comedy. It was rejected.. M.
Jules Janin says: 'The deplorable day on which
the actors of the French Comedy refused 'Les

A Florida Habeas Corpus Case.
In the United States Supreme Court, yester
day, near the concinSion of the proceedings,
General W. G. M. Davis read a petition from
Hamilton Morton and William G. Gil!, stating
that they are held in prison in the State of Flo
rida, confined in damp and unhealthy quarters,
and that thereby their health has been impaired.
They pray that their condition may lie palliated
by this Court; that there may be a revision of
the proceedings of the Court below; that for
want of pecuniary means they have not, until
now, been able to procure counsel in their
CaFe, etc.
That in view of these and other facts, they pray
a writ of habeas rotims may be granted, and that
the Court will direct the competent jurisdiction
to bring the petitioners at a certain day during
the prekmt term before the Court, in order that
the cause of their imprisonment may be shown,
and that a writ of certiorari may be sent to the
Circuit Court. so that a record of the full pro
m:Wings in the case may be furnished. and the
petitioners may be heard by counsel and delivered
from imprisonment.
General Davis Paid he bad drawn up the affi
davit, stating all the faets,to the best of his know
ledge and belief. Be was under some embar
rassment, having been informed that this Court
had annomped its determination to adjourn to
day until the next term. That would be a long
time to wait for a decision.
The Court said it could not do otherwise, the
business of the present term having been trans
acted, and the time of adjournment fixed.
General Davis replied—lie had not found any
where in instances where a writ of Welts corpus
bad been granted that•thcre was a waiting of five
or six months from the time the writ was granted
for its return.
Associate Justice Nelson reminded the gentle
man ihat this Com t did not sitduring the whole
year. Ile could make tho application at this
time. The Court said it would make the writ
returnable the first day of the next term.
General Davis asked the Court whether it could
take proceedings to anp;liot ate the' condition of
the petitioners in persont:
The Court said that was for the Marshal.
Mr. Ashton, in behalf of the United States, and
at the request of the Acting Attorney-General,
suggested that it was not a question of jurisdic
tion for this Court to issue a writ of habeas corpus
after an indictment had been found, as in this
case. All the precedents show that all the writs
of habeds corpus issued by this Court were before
the indictment of the parties. The question was
to be decided on demurrer to the indictment in
the Circuit Court, or in arrest of ,judgment after
The Court said it did not want to hear argu
ment, and then granted a writ of habeas corpus
and cf ,•ertiorari, returnable on the first day of
the next term, and an order that in the meantime
all proceedings be stayed.
The petitibners in this case were indicted in a
Federal Court for the murder of a freedman, and

jurisdiction of its subjects.
Review of LegiNlation.
IlAtimsnuito, April 6.—An act preventing the
mills at Manayunk and other points on the
Schuylkill from throwing rafuse matter Into the
river has been defeated in the Municipal Corpora
tion Committee of the House (Mr. Thorn chair
man), because the,Commissioners of Fairmount
Park (Frederick Graefl chairman), in their report
of October 11, 1867, say: "The amount of impu
rity in the Schuylkill is at present really so small,
When cothparco - witirthe Vallllo ()loth° river, as
to present objectionable matter at Fairmount in
so minute a quantity that no chemical test, how
ever delicate,.can ordinarily detect it. * *
'f he dye works and oil refineries now located
along this shore, are entirely within the power
of the Water Department. The legislative powers
vested itV the city have never yet been exercised
to any considerable extent."
Gov. Geary has not yet signed the : act passed
by botli houses repealing the liquor law.' of 1867.
It will be impossible for any railway tracks to
be laid on .Broad street, because the Governor
has sioted an act repealing so much of the law of
1866 (relative to the improvement of Broad
street) us authorizes tracks to be laid on that
thoroughfare with the consent of Couneils. This
is virtually a prohibition against any railway on
the street.
• An 'act relating to railroad companieS and
conmmn carriers, defining their liabilities, ‘ and
authorizing them to provide means of indemnity
against loss of life and personal injury, has been
approved by the Governor.

NAVAL AITIWYNIATION BILL.
By the consent 0f.5.1r. Anthony, at the suggestion of
Mr Morrill, of Maine. the resolution was temporarily
laid aside, and the naval appropriation bill was taken
The question was On the amendment providing for
the enlistment of 1,250 apprentices and joys, exclusive
of the 8 500 able seamen now authorized.
Mr. Comm/ said he had made investigation since
the subject was last under consideration, and had as
certained that instead of, eighty , ftve hundred men, as
it was claimed by the chairman of the committee there
had been in the Ilavy before the war, there were in
1850 seventy-five hundred men, in 1865 seventy-five
hundred, and in 18n0 seventy-six hundred. It had
been Impossible to get"at what, the number of boys had
been, but he had been assured that it had not been as
large as stated. He advocated restorinthe number as
provided originally in the thatthe eighty-flue
hundred be made to include apprentices and boys.
Mr.,Giustes quoted ' from the act of March 3, 1857,
authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to enlist eigh
ty-five hundred seamen, and stated that, since the
passage of the act of 1809 there had been no limit to
the enlistment of boys. Ho took occasion to contra.
diet the statement frequentiy made by those present.
ing petitions for a reduction of the navy,that the navy
represents 103 vessels. In that number they had in
cluded coal barges, tenders, old dismantled hulks,
ttc. He explained the apprentice system before dis
cussed. saying ho bad himself drawn up the section
providing for apprentices,_ designating that it Ms in
tended to include boys. He argtied that it wae Recce.
sary to keep the navy up to a respectable footing, in
order to meet any emergency.
Mr. CONNLING said, according to the statement, in
the navy, us it etands swollen by the war, there are
now 916 apprentices and boys. and no more.
Mr. Ozusrxs asked if the Senator claimed that there
are as many men afloat now as before the war?
Mr. Conittuni replied that Ahe present number is
11,360 seamen,and proceeded fo argue that the number
before the war having been 7,600, the proposed re
duction to 8,500 will leave an ample force, and that it
will be time enough to meet emergencies when they
arise.
Mr. Monnns, of Maine, said the committee had
adhered to the standard provided by law of 8,500
effective men and the boys in; addition; they had
Provided ,for the number of apprentices anthorized
by law.:
Mr. Enwanns advocated going back to tho stand
ard& 1860, which, he argued, was 6,800, including
boys and apprentices.
Mr. GaInES explained that the' service required
more men because of the more general introduction of
steam vessels, and the necessary employment or engi
neers, &c.
Somediseussion followed between .lifessrs. Grimes,
Edmunds and Conness, as to whether an increase was
hereby rendered necessary.
Mr. Omnraa held that the amendment of the com
mittee simply increased the number of the force of
the navy 590 under the apprentice law.
The amendment Of the committee was agreed to
Mr. CountiNa moved to amend by making the
number, exclusive Of apprentices and, boys, 7,soo,in
stead of 8,500.
Mr. bnensten was of the opinion that men thus
employed added as much to the effectiveness of the
service as an equal number added to sailing vessels.
He was in favor of testing the praoticabill of reduc
ing the navy. If 7,600 men maintained the honor of
'the navy before the.war. 8,500 should be enough now.
Mr. Conasasr, of Oregon; took the same view.
Mr. GRIMES, of lowa. pointed out that our extended
commerce required more effectiveness in thenavy.
After further discussion, the amendment of Mr.
Conkling was agreed to-23 yeas to 20 nays.
On motion of Mr Mounnx, of Metric, an amend
- meat - allowing three instead of two watchmen at the
Naval Observatory, and ono increasing from 832,000
to SCO,OOO the appropriation for the pay Of the civil
establishment under the Bureau of Medicine and
Surgery, at the several namttoepitals and yards, were
adopted.
SHERMAN offered the following amendment as •
an additional section That all unexpended balantes
existing on the lstof July next, under any of the sev
eral appropriations provided for in this act, shall ba
carried to the surplus fund, unleea the same is neces
eery to pay expenditures made during the fiscal year,
or unless the same ls necessary to execute contracts
made before the said date.
Mr. CONNEHS, of California, opposed the amend
nient, saying be had been informed by the Secretary
of War that with this provision in the army appro
priation bill it would be impossible to carry on that
department..
Mr. SIIININAN bad heard of that bugaboo before.
There was not the slightest weight in it. He con
sidered itnecceeury that Congress retain control over
these balances, so that no money can be drawn from
the Treasury unless in pursuance of law, and he
thought it unwise to leave such a discretion in the
hands of the head of any department. The pinvlslon
not commencing until the drat of July next, when the
next annual 'nppropriation comes in, he pointed out
that they could commence with anew balance sheet.
Mr. TRUMBULL, of Illinois, was In favor of the
proposition, lint thought it should be provided in a
separate bill.
Mr. FEsSENDEN had not Sufficient information to
warrant him In voting for tile amendment. While he
was perfectly willing that the large war balances shall
be carried into the Treasury, be said that the expend
itures made for a year cannot be expended within that
year; what contracts would be made or debts incurred
would be of no practical value • He thought it would
be unsafe, without consultation`With the heads of de
partments.
Mr. GRIMES read a letter received by him from the
Secretary of the Navy, expressing the opinion that
great confusion In the accounts of the Department
wou:d result from such a provision, as well as the em
ployment of niore clerks in the Auditor's office, and
that trouble would be experienced in the payment of
men returning from a long cruise.
Mr. BRIERMEN replied that the accounts in such
cases were carried forward from year to year, and
thought no trouble would come from that source.
More debate followed, whereupon the amendment
was agreed to.
Mr. SiawnMAN offered another amendment directing
the Secretary of the Treasury, in his next annual mes
eagkto state till the balances of appropriations made
during the present session ftir each branch of the pub
lic service, and remaining unexpended on the first of
July next; showing also the amounts necessary to ex
ecute contracts or pay expenditures on each of such
branches.: Adopted.
The bill then passed in Committee of the Whole,
and being before the Senate, Mr. Howe, of Wiscon
sin, asked aeeparate vote on the amendment increas
ing the appropriation for the civil establishment of
the naval hospitals, which, after discussion, was
agreed to.
prMr. DRAKE, of Missouri, asked a separate vote on
Mr. Conkling's amendment reducing the number of
Seamen from 8,500 to 7,500.•
Mr. HENDRICKS, of Indiana, asked upon what in
formation this cbange had been made, and condemned ,
such legislation In the face of the lIINVIIMIRIS opinion
of the Naval Committee.
Mr. CONNLINO, of New York, eaid the Holm hay-,
/mg passed a bill which cut down the men in the navy
250 below the number at which they are fixed in the
hill now. he thought. in view of the facts Shown in
regard to the number before the war. &c.,and which
he again recounted, that they had not acte upon suf
ficient information. '
After further debate, without action on the amend
ment, on motion of Mr. RA3I.IiEY, of Minnesota, at 5
o'clock the Senate adjourned.
