J; : | v'■ His stated in the New' York i ftenjnff Past «r September '28,1869, substaift’uflly,that while. 1 - lying in the harbor of Aspinwall, in February 3'* ktst, a sailor onboard the U. S. steamer Nipsk: k ' fed his hesuloiit to the: boiiewnd to the extent •f three inches with a, cutlass. Dr. Green was ” / Ife ordy medicnl'crfhcer' attached to the vessel, V irhich was under Command of LieutCDaut «Y Commander Selfridge. ’ Dr Green received the man. under bis pro * -fesional care, and placed his name on the ’ »<’ *<sick list,”, the usual mode >;ofi expressing or * 4 1 reporting his professional opinion that the man 'was not physically in condition toperformhis I jh v -duty. Mr, Selfridge commanded Dr. Green to' - ' f *<rase this man’s name from his report. He ' -declined to ©bey tliewder. * ‘ j) r> Green reported to the Secretary of the JTavy that Selfridge fed punished men illegally, triced them bp by the arms, showered hundreds of buckets of ’ '-water on them, and had run men up and down \ |he ngging until they were unable to do duty, v and 'werejmt on the side list. ■ Secretary .Welles, ' l fast at the close Of his term of office, ordered Ltliese charges to be investigated, but his succes . >Ufcpr, possibly ignorant of this order, convened 'i*ix>urbmartial to fry Dr. Green for “treating Ifwith contempt his superior officer,” and for . “disobeying a lawful order of lxis superior offi eer,”,the specification of jboth,charges being- Vv & .that Dr. Green had' positively.refused, on the V • order of LieutenanfrCommander Selfridge, to , ?»ake John Simmons, an ordinary seaman, off sick list, because* he did nof consider it a , legal order. V : This statement'tof thercoiTespondent oi the \ Pstning Post is r hclieved to be substantially * -correct. In thp latter part of July the news { papers of thetime reported that a deputation * I 'from tbf crew of the Nipsic, then at the Navy Tardj Washington, called at the Navy Depart y jment and complained that Mr. Selfridge ill ' 2 treated and illegally punished' the men. The ! * | pasture of these specifications did not reach? the The Secretai-y may have considered, .'them altogether too trivial to be worthy of. f'official attention, especially as they were ■brought against a commanding officer by sub - ordinates, privates of no social position or responsibility. .: The, public is not informed whether Mr. ;; .Selfridge or Dr. Green struck first in . the con i' test.' Or whether, participating in the. long i. | cotitfjmed controversy between the line and \ ' * - . '•‘ffi'rom, ancient grudge broke forth; in new ; * mutiny.” ap -There is little doubt, however, that there T t -wci-e charges and counter-charges, and it is tr that the eourse of each, in seeking to iJl’-ftring the matter to the arbitrament of military law,. may have been influenced by their opin c tun ions on the mooted question of relative rank, The medical press seems to be unanimous condemnation of Mr. Selfridge;.and the ing daily press is equally decided in censure of his cmi conduct, and in sympathy with Dr. Green. clt ' in- the navy, it may he said that the staff-offi cers generally, and very many of the line, es pouse Dr. Green’s side of the question. , The interest of the subject is limited to these two-gentlemen.’ The decision as to who is right and who is wrong in the premises must form a precedent, which, being followed, will influence the entire naval service, and affect its popularity more or less among all those classes from which its grades and rates are re cruited. j . A circular issued by the Secretary of the jjayy, and recently published in' the newspapers, implies that the naval service is not popular among' seamen generally, and that this unpopu larity is ascribable to unnecessary restraints, and perhaps over rigorous and harsh treatment. Complaints of severe and illegal punishments have been chronicled in the daily press. In ape instance, on board of the f awnee, it is alleged, illegal punishment extended almost to permanently. maiming a seaman. The case has been investigated by a comb-martial. The result is not yet published. It is evident that the effort of the Secretary ef the Navy to improve the condition seamen in the 1 naval service, and to. reform abuses, is commendable, and not premature. Taken in connection with these points it seems very desirable tbat the merits of Dr. Green's case should be precisely understood. Let us examine the positions assumed'by both, before censuring either Hr. Selfridge or Dr. Green. The official acts of two military men, one belonging to the line and the other to the staff of tlie navy , are in violent conflict. The repu- 4ation.of.tbes’e two gentlemen is . such as to preclude a suspicion that,the conduct of either was engendered or influenced by any improper or personal motive. . This supposition is at least allowable. Is an exposition of the cause of this very re markable clash-of opinion possible without at tributing wantonness or malicious intention to cither? One or the other lias fallen into a gross error. Doth cannot be rightfully sus tained. But each of these gentlemen believed him self to be right. Each attempted to defend the ground he assumed in the premises at the - risk losing respect ami esteem for good jrense, if not his commission in the naval service.' And' TV ., each was aw Sue that the decision of the ques tion between \hem invelveb more or less the ; ? discipline of tfyi navy and \)ic interests of all , engaged in it. \ Botli'werc earnest in the de ferine of wliat they conceived to he a funda , mental principle, and possibly both allowed , ■ personal feeling \o be so roused as to corrupt their judgment of each other’s lights. Hr. Selfridge has eighteen years in flie navy. To Iris mind, which is probably - p<»sessed cf the prevalent-doctrineof-his class that “line” officers must be everywhere su preme; it is very clear thatall rightful authority in every'milit ary organization centralizes in the commanding officer, and from him as a centre all official authority in the ship radiates and de scends'; and as a consequence, implicit and prompt obedience is due from all placed under bis command,' To pqrmit this authority to Ire questioned ip any particular is, in his estima tion, a dereliction of duty. He can recognize fio exception to this doctrine, Ijitlie peculiar ■ vocation of each he lias,the right to command tbC'serviccs of every man onboard. Whether V asleep or awakp, feasting or fasting, sick or in isbis-province to exact obedience at *! Jfc bis owndigeretion from all, both directly and '•p . 'm' : ‘ indirectly.

What is the . “sick-list” : or “binnacle-list? Thismust.be defined in order to determine whether a command'to add to or remove from it a name is “a lawful order,” ' -No one doubts, that it is the peculiar funcr lion' of the surgeon of a vessel of war to examine. all on hoard who complain of disordered health.' and determine who are in a condition to re quire his professional care. Having ascer- : tained who are discharge then. usual duties for the day, it is necessary that lie should impart his knowledge, hotli to his com manding officer and to tlieship’S company. For the informationof the first-lie presents daily a “sick report,” and for^the,, -eecond he makes a sumnjary report, of a lis t of tbe names ©f those_whom he has received underhisprbfeseional care. -This list I is usually placed ih the binnacle for the infor mation of thd officer of the watch, and all whom it inay conoerh., It is accessible to every bodv'On hoard. Thisf. “sick list” is an official, though summary, expression of the surgeon’s professional Opinion tliat those named on it are not qualified for duty.' It is a report made by the siirgeonlfor the common information, .of the ship’s company. Has any one but tho sur geon a laiful right to alter this report, to modify, in any maimer, this expression of pro fessional minion? The commanding officer? Has he a (awful right to require the surgeon to reverse h/s professional opinion, and thus com : pel : him, to falsify his own statement ? The commoii sentiment of men answer • emphati cally, N/>! . ; " ' ■ And if this doctrine is correct, the surgeon has Authority to excuse from. duty any officer or man in the ship, in defiance of : the eaptain s opinion. Is it safe, is it consistent with the re ! quirements of military discipline . to confide so much' power unreservedly to the discretion of a ; staff officer? ' . The singe on has no authority to remove any • man from the command of his .captain; nor does he arrogate to himself any such power. Dr. Green must have clearly xmdersteod that he could not withdraw John Simmons from under the authority, or beyond the official reach of Lieutenant-Commander Selfi^fee. John Simmons was still on the ship. His! obligations to obey the lawful order of his commanding officer were in no degree lessened in consequence of the surgeon bavin" expressed an opinion that he heeded his care. Mr, Selfridge might have required him to render his usual services without imoading the provisions of any statute, notwithstanding that his.,name was on the “ sick iist.” All this Dr. Green clearly understood. It does not appear that he in any;, manner opposed the authority of Mr. Selfridge over John Simmons. But lie refused trorfecog nize in Mi-. Selfridge a right to compel him to reverse his own opinion, officially, expressed, that John Simmons required -professional care on account’of a wound^of the head. Dr. Green felt that “authority, cannot control the mind, or require a false expression of either personal or professional opinion”—an almost self-evident truth —and he honestly and manfully combatted such arrogance by declin ing to obey an order wliioli he regarded to be unlawful. . It does not appear tliat Dr. Green claimed a right to release John Simmons or any other person from 'duty.- lie knew that lie has no power enforce such a claim, if he should have set it up against his commanding officer. Mr. Selfridge might have ordered the man to duty and enforced Ms order by lawful means. I Those of the ship’s company whose names are on .the sick list are excused from duty, though not in virtue of the Surgeon’s com mand. The sick list itself has acquired author ity, impersonal in its nature, from a custom, prevalent in all military services, which mo tives of humanity and economy have estab lished, to release, all who are sick from duty. -■-It may not he out of place to offer her® reasons why such a custom is economical and humane, although it may seem unnecessary tt> most people. ' The equipment and outfit of a vessel of war includes, besides the machinery through the a"ency of which she is moved from place to place, and the various war implements used for attack and defence, a number of packages of muscular force. Upon the number and condition of these packages, which are of a . very complex structure, and very prone to be come disordered, the efliciencyof the ship de pends. Whenever any piece of the inorganic part of the machine becomes disordered or worn, it is timely withdrawn, or the machine is stopped, if need he, till it is repaired, because it is plain that any other course would: lead to wasteful expenditure of means. Begarded merely as packages of muscular, force for use, men, to be maintained in the fall yi"or of their power, must he allowed sufficient time to sleep, aud.be supplied with an adequate quantity of food and drink, at suitable times. When the quantity of muscular force allowed to a vessel becomes diminished in consequence ' pf some of the men being sick or hurt, expe rience lias proved that the most economical means ■of recovering the quantity of force thus deducted is tbjgive them entire rest while they arc undergoing, repairs. There is no more economy in continuing the employment 1 ,of a sick man than in Continuing to; drive a ; bent piston, to fire a cracfvgd gun, or spread a torn sail, because disaster may follow in either No statute enjoins the repair of a marine en •giue’s bent piston or broken-valve, the discard*.'- ing of a cracked gun or mending a torn sail;- Thdse points are Confided to the ordinary, dis, eretlon and judgment of commanding officers. But seemingly mindful, of “man’s inhumanity to man,” the “act for the better government of the Navy of the Urpted States,” approved July 17,. 1802, provides, section 10, among other things, that each .commanding officer “shall cause a convenient place to be set apart for sick or .disabled men, to which he shall have them removed, with their hammocks and bed ding, when the surgeon shall so advise, and shall direct that souje of the crew attend them and keep the place clean. He shall frequently consult with the surgeon in regard to the sani tary condition of his crew, and shall use all ■ proper means topreserve their health.” “Any commanding officer offending herein shall be punished at the discretion of a court-martial.'’ TJip inference from this statute is that the EKING BUIJ.ETO-VIIIEADELPHIA.TIirHKDAY snrgeon of a ship is enf#ef to ktateh over the general Üballk.qiithe 'tb'wfltiose care “sick or daiablpq med’V are; to be bonfided, and “when the surgeon shall so advise;’! the coimnanding^McOI 1 is required to afford him all needful aqd assistance at his command to restore Item to dutjr, with out attempting, to control thq> surgeon in the exercise of his professional func tions. No statute suggests in the remotest degree that the captain has authority to deter mine who aro “sick or disabled.”- 'The surgeon alone is lield msporisible' fSI the solution of such questions, Pensions" are granted under the laws to men disabled by wound or, disease | contracted in the ’line of duty.; Under the ; rules of the proper office, the ‘pension, as well as : its rate,yis contingent upon the surgeon’s ■ opiriioh of the degree of disability and whether , itoccurred in the line of duty. No claim for I Jienskm is valid unless it is sustained by a-; surgeon’s -certificate. /. ! All laws and regulations hearing on tins point indibate that .lt is thd peculiar and exolit rive province of the surgeon to determine who are sick, who are disabled, and the degree of their disability.’ The importance of his func tion in this latter respect is measured, in some* degree at’least, bytheamoxmt of money paid to naval pensioners. The government is careful to select menipro fcssionally, 'and in all other respects, qualified to discharge these duties. It seems, therefore, preposterous to assume that the commanding officer is equally competent to the same duties, vicariously, it you please, and that he is author ized j whenever it may suit his views, to set the surgeon aside. Why should the government' beat tho cost of employing surgeons for spe cific purposes if commanding officers are equally well qualified to determine who is sick and who is entitled to a pension ? It may be arbitrary to exclude .from such work all except the surgeon, and rely exclusively upon him in the premises. But it is no more arbitrary than ' to' rilyexclusively on the attorney-general to construe the laws for those whose duty it is to Administer them. Common law', based on a custom prevalent in all military services as already asserted, ex cuses.from duty all officers and privates whose nameß are on the sick-list. It is the accident of sickness or disability which excuses, and not the individual authority of tbp surgeon. Should he falsely report a man sick, he is responsible and punishable for the offence; and being re sponsible for his report, no one has authority torequirehimtoalter.it. J The sick-list is an official report of the sur geon’s. professional opinion. The tenn is not ! susceptible of any other definition. Like all official reports it is made under the obligations of an oath Which every officer makes, when, appointed,to discharge all duties faithfully. From these' premises, which seem to be in controvertible, the conclusion is inevitable that LietenanbCommander Selfridge’s order to passer-assistant Sturgeon Grefen, to remove the name of John Simmons from the sick-list,was /six unlawful order. The courbmartial, however, decided thatthe order was lawful, and for this reason it found Dr. Green guilty of “treating with contempt, his superior officer,” and of “ disobeying a lawful order of his superior officer,” because, he refused to recognize authority in Mr.Seffiidge to reverse his opinion of the condition of John Simmons and discharge him from the sick-list. On this finding the Court sentenced Dr. Green “to be suspended from rank on furlough pay for the term of two years, and to be pub licly reprimanded by the Honorable Secretary of the Navy.” The Secretary approved the finding, but re mitted all the sentence except the reprimand. It is argued that because the crew of the Nip sic was small, and Dr. Green admitted that John Simmons was capable to perform light duty, Mr. Selfridge had authority "to require Dr. Green to reverse his professional!.opinion that this man was not in condition to perform his whole duty. The argument is not con-’ elusive, nor does it derive much corroboration: from the suggestion that Dr. Green might have yielded his opinion, discharged John Simmons from the sick list, and stultified himself by con tinuing liis treatment and record ot the case With a respectful protest on his journal. This course might have been ekpedidnt as-a.. placebo. Had an exigency existed requiring the exertion of every man, sick or well, to the utmost of' his capacity,which is not pretended, ,thc captain had the right to command it. ( It is also argued in support of the finding and sentence Of the court' that; “ as no officer; would he justified in refusing in time of danger to execute an order involving unreserved ex posure of life, so none are [is ?] authorized, at, anytime, to interpose their [liis?J judgment, between the exigencies of the service and the responsibility of the commanding officer. No military man will admit that disobedience of a : lawful order can be excused on a plea that its execution might be personally fatal. But it. dees not follow, nevertheless; from this postu-, late that any emergency of service can autlio-i rizc the commanding officer to require any subordinate to alter his official report in order that it shall harmonize with his superior’s judgment. Nor does any degree of accounta bility or responsibility annexed to the com mander’s cilice in a general way demand, either in theory or in practice, the kind of authority claimed by LieutenanbCommander, .Selfridgein [his instance. -■ The questioifat issue was as to the official* and professional rights of, two intelligent offi cers upon a single point. * . . * Stripped of all collateral and secondary con siderations, the question was, whether it is lawful for a commanding officer of a vessel of war tc> require the surgeon to change his official and professional opinion—to order him .to.remdve from or add to liis report, technically known as the sick-list, tlio name of officer or private. The court-martial and the Secretary of the Navy have decided that it is lawful and expedi ent for. a commanding officer to do this. The decision stands as a precedent and as a rule of the- service which will be observed hereafter; There is no appeal; but there should be. As a consequence of this decision, the au thority of the ■“ sick-list” to excuse from duty, 1 which is carefully respected in all 'military ser vices, becomes in the American 1 navy contin gent upon the opinion or caprice of the corn* manding officer in each case. It now rests with him to determine in every instance who is or who is not siokenough or disabled enough to be excused from duty, under ordinary or, ex traordinary circumstances, without reference to the personal interests oi the patient, The sur geon’s opinion in the premises ceases to be re spectable.. - The surgeon may believe the con ' ditioil of his patient.requires rest, and that t :retuni jAjf dndahgos jllis lifej'ibut if the cqritinanding officer decides ■djflerehily, ho Lrgrgcioiisly , permittct| to remonstratcT.»nd"enter • a'lcspccttul protest .on , his jdmsnd. Such, a -.record would he important testimony should the patient, oj/ in event of'-'.his death, his friends) claim a pension on the ground that un necessary hardship had been imposed, or ; Cruelty in the ease practised by the commander, which caused his disability or death. After all, it is not commanding, ollicers or surgeons who have most at stakdon the deci sion of this question; hut those who, Jike John Simmons, not yet entirely recovered from disability or sickness,, may have unfortunately incurred the displeasure or aversion of their commander. It is not. unreasonable to sup pose that one who, without authority of law, is capable of suspeiiding a man by his wrists till inflammation threatens the loss of both hands, would not hesitate to make a sick man Work; and all for the sake of “ discipline And good of the service,” as he would plead, as in the case under consideration. ■ - - But as it is the pleasure of the Navy Depart ment that, member's of the medicare tad' shall entertain opinions on such points only with the assent of the captain, it becomes a duty of the surgeon to acquiesce in the pleasantest manner possible, discharge the patient from his profes sional care when ordered, and let him take his chance. At the worst he is required to submit, only to the pain of outraged professional pride and sentiment of humanity, which he ought to be able to tld very easily under the court martial’s decision—a decision not likely to en hance the popularity of the naval service among seamen or among members of the medical pro fession. • * * NEW PUBLICATIONS. good words for the young a Profusely Illustrated Magazine for Young People, EDITED BY _ _ ; GEonG Vow : HKADY D ’ THE SOVEBIBEU PART.

If by grammar is meant a collection of - rules exhibiting tbe changes which nouns and ad jectives under-go in declension, amt verbs in. conjugation, there is nothing corresponding' to it in Chinese. Chinese stands alone in the whole realm of Iranian speech as a type of language without inflections, and it is for this reason, apart from its literary interest brpractl cal importance, that a study of Chinese be comes indispensable to every student of lan guage. What a philosopher might’imagine the earliest stage of language to have been is pre sented to us in Chinese as an Undeniable re ality. What a careful analysis of other families of languages teaches us—viz., that all that is , now purely formal in language: was' originally: material—stands before us in phUiese, hot as the result of a laborious induction, but as a simple fact. There was a language, and there is.still a language; and a.language spoken by a larger number of human beings than any ether, in which we have no sign of gender, case or mimber, no personal terminations, no tenses -or moods, no irregular nouns or defective verbs, nay, in'which there is no outward distinction between a noun, an adjective,' a verb, :ah ad verb, and a'participle. What a happy country China must bo! many a schoolboy would think, where there are no irregular verbs, no false quantities, no genders. But, alas ' there is no. r ose without thorns, and in spite of !UI its grammatical'simpHcity Chinese—at least, tiie kneient classical Chinese, is kiYown to be one of the most difficult languages to iearri. We quote from M. Stanislas Julien’s work: • “All Cliiuese characters. are monosyllabic, indeclinable, and inconjugable. They are not capable of receiving those inflections which in Greek and Latin show at; a glance thegender,; case and number of nouns; the voice, tenses, ifioods and potion of verbs. But, in spite of this absence of inflections, the Chinese lan guage is to a well-informed ‘sinologue’ as clear and intelligible as those learned laiiguagfes •which abound in Inflections. -If it were other wise, how could the innumerable works which it has produced in’every branch of literature for more than 2,000 yeai-s have been read and reproduced from century to century sinoe the first discovery of printing? Tiie Chinese be gan to print from woodcutsln 581 Ai D. Jpfi the year 00-7—400 years before the discovery of printing in Europe—they .introduced tli'e use of stone for tiie same purpose, arid in 1040 they invented movable type. Again,, Low' copdit now, under its modern 'form,' called kmrni Jma,~or vulgar language,'be spoken in China, Cochin China, Japan,. Siam, Corea, and even in Thibet,'by a population of more than four huudred and fifty million—-that is to say, by half of the civilized world? Ilow does a language, apparently so imperfect, answer, nevertheless, ail purposes, and how has it en abled Chinese authors to treat in innumerable works of every scientific and literary subjects that can interest tiie human mind ? The an swer Is, that the inflections of nouns and verbs, which gjve so mucli precision to the ancient languages, find tbeir equivalents to a certain degree in the collocation of the*: Chinese char acters, which' , wording to the position which, (hey occupy; * a sentence, and according to the words with which tliey are construed, can assu me every possible gram matical value. The relative position of words determines their character, and imparts the requisite clearness both to the spoken and the written speech.!’ • It lias Often been said that there is no lan guage which in its grammatical features ai>- proacbes so near to Chinese as English. M. Stanislas Julien himself, whenever he wishes to illustrate the peculiarities of Chinese, has re course to English rather than to French in or der to give something like an approximate idea of a Chinese word or a Chinese If, however, we look more closely into these sim ilarities between a language without inflections, like Chinese and English, .which belongs to ,a family of speech in which inflection had once reached its highest perfection, we shall find that they are apparent rather than real. They admit of an historical explanation, and they form, in fact, a new instance of the old rule that “extremes ineet.” Chinese and English fOnn two opposite poles. Tiie circle in the growth of language b.egins with Chinese and ends with English as far as grammatical artic ulation is concerned —The London Times. " " —The establishment of a school for children of mixed religion has given rise to a serious disturbance at Resfh, Hungary. "When -the school was opened several Jewish . boys claimed admittance, upon which a priest urged the people in passionate, language to turn them out. The father and relations of the lioys now interfered, and in the fight which ensued several persons were seriously injured. Ultimately the boys were escorted to the school. —Tliere are cows in Washington county, New York, who swallow whijestalksf three feet long, and nothing bad follows except a little woody taste to the milk. —The British Government allows King The odore's son s3,ooti a Year. .
