EXECETIVE OFFICERS.
Do,mirdnitis non curet tex, which may be
renOred conveniently for our purpose—legisla
tors-Ao not care much for little and obscure
peopleabout
may be the reason why the con
trattipiatiout the position of staff officers in
tlae navy has been permitted to continue for a
Dla t if Century, in' spite of most earnest appeals
and authoritative recornmendationi—that Con
greEs should s..ettle. the quest ion at issue: In
defence of Congress, it may be urged that it
belting& to the class of small matters that the
law does not care for or is indifferent about.
At last, however, the subject has acquired sail
ciesit magnitude to attract the attention of the
national legislature, and several bills or projects
of tins to regulate the mattar have been sub-
=Med to its consideration. •
Gentlemen on both sides of the discussion
are instructing their Congressional friends and
urging them to rote on their side, so that they are
likely„to be better informed abotit the details of
inaAl organization than they are supposed to
have been at any previous time.
Delinitions.of the technical terms "line"
and "staff" have been frequenjly published, so
that their meaning ought to be familiar to most
' general readers who are not indifferent to the
matter. Our purpose now is to define the
term "executive officer," who, in general na
val eStimation is a mighty . personage, being the
power behind the. throne, which is often greater
than the throne itself, though in reality his
grandeur is very much 'less than many worthy
people suppose.
When V , ship haS been completed by carpen
ters and riggers, she is transferred from the au
thorities of the building-yard to the charge of
the captain, officers and crew, who are to man
age her at sea. The formality of this transfer
is called "putting the ship in commission."
The'national ensign is hoiSted under a
. roll of
drums, and the captain, officers and privates
begin to learn the names, personal appearance
and cbaracter of each other. It is an interest
ing occasion to all. Iti then becomes, known
who is to occupy the position of "executive
officer"; he is always the senior officer of the
line, except the captain, of those who have
been ordered to the ship.
It is • a duty of the captain of a ship-of-war
to know before leaving port that all the arma
ment, ammunition, provisions, water, clothing,
&c., &c., which may be needed, are 'on board,
and 'that every..officer and private has his ap-.
propriate sleeping-berth and station. This
equipping of a ship, the stationing, watching
and quartering of men, involves a multitude of
details. These are, however, grouped in
classes. The surgeon, the paymaster, the
gineer, the gunner, boatswain, saffinaker, car
penter; each sees that the supplies of his de
partment are on board and properly cared for;
and the captain, through the 'agency of the se
nior line officer under his command, formerly
called the "first lieutenant," and now " exeen
• tire officer,"'stations, watches and quarters the
men, and learns that all things are appropri
ately, placed, in accordance with , his own
zerieral orders. • ,
The " executive officer" is also the ehief of
The ship's , general and detective police. He
often acts as, a judge of first 'instance, and
awards and inflicts punishments upon privates
-without the captain's knowledge. The 'execu
tive officer of the Pawnee " triced tip" a man
Wrists 'during three days; which, in its
effects, endangered the loss,of both his hands ;
the,captain was left. in ignorance; of the act
daring its perpetration. The cleanliness and
neatness of the vessel: are dependent upon his
administration; he is therefore expected to
have ' 7 "a keen eye for dirt." Going out of or,
eoiming into port, and during exercise
. at,
quarters or battle, be takes the place of the
officer of the watch on deck. The enlistment
roll of the ship's company is in his keeping.
The condition of his knowledge is supposed to
be such that at all times he is able to say who
is or is not on board. It is customary while
the ship is in port for all officers to ask from
him permission to leave the ship; and - to - report
to bim their return. But as no one can legiti
mately leave the ship without the knowledge
of the officer of the watch on deck, the captain
goes and comes without reporting to the execU
tire ; officer.
His functions are undoubtedly important.
• For their performance the captain delegates to
lain his authorityfrom time to time, to the ex
tent he thinks expedient. The executive officer
vises it, because he has, none of his own.. He
cannot grant permission to any one to leave the
ship without his superior's sanction. He is no
more than the captain's agent for special pur
poses, and just as an agent is responsible to his
principal, so is he "in honor bound " to exe
sute his captain's instructions.
If the executive officer be intellectually,
superior to the captain, and disposed to arro
gate power,he soon becomes the de facto com
mander of the ship. From his decisions appeal
is unavailing.. The captain declares that he
must sustain his executive officer, through
thick and thin, or he will be compelled to look
after the ship himself, and so sacrifice his
leisure and ease. lie becomes reluctant to in
terfere in anything the " executive " chooses
be do, and all is left to his discretion. To such
a condition of relations between the captain
and executive on board of the Pawnee may
be ascribed the " tricing up,". and other cruel
and illegal practices, of which the latter was con
victed by a court-martial. And* like state
of things possibly led to the shipwreck
and total loss of the Sacramento, imperiling the .
lives of all on board, and possibly frustrating
the Government's purpose •in sending her to
sea. The actual responsibility for the ship
and her management rests' with the captain,
and if be delegates his authority to conduct
affairs to one who is without a full tense of ac
feenntability in the premises, he exposes him
self to just such misfortunes and deserves to
neffer their consequences. •
The position of "executive officer "—though
not pertinentto any grade—is usually occu-

pied by a lieutenant -commander. This fact is
I assumed to be a reason why no staff offker.._
..
should be permitted to hold any rank above
that grade. A lieutenant, a masteri an ensign,
or any one presmit who is next in rank,fills the
place of ‘.. executive officer "' in .his:, absence.
No degree of rank is essential to the functions
of the office. • There is nothing in their nature
which is an obstacle to their Performance by
the youngest as well as by the senior commis
sinned 'officer of the line on board. Ile• is an
official organ—the peripatetic mouthpiece of
the captain. The government reposes
"confidence • in • the' honor, Aidelity and
patriotism " in all commissioned - officers
alike. Therefore it is gratuitous to assume
that the oflicial senior of the line, as executive,
is bondsrnan that the Government's confidence
in his juniors is not misplaced,:and, on this as
sumption, require that all officers, both of the
line and staff, to board, shall be his official
juniors, as'well as the captain's.
In modern dines the pretensions of . 41 the ,-
executire . officer" to authority on board . Shill
have grown to be so great as to overshadow
the captain, and, while arrogating all his
power, leave him nothing but the name anti
responsibility of command. . Ile is the - cap
tain's rival in the ship. Like the captain
he has a clerk or writer, a personal servant, a
boat, coxswain and crew for his exclusive use,
and, 'tinder recent general orders, precedence
of all staff officers of whatever grade or senior
ity everyt here, ashore and afloat. And all
this is yielded' under a pretext that without thus
clothing him with power and its outward
signd,he cannot enforce observance of the laws
and rules of the navy by those on board, and .1
be in fact the . "second in command,"
as ' he claims to be-a title which
implies 'that• he , .conceives The command
of the ship to be divided between the captain
and himself; and that he is not a subordinate
' to execute the captain's orders. . .
An executiye officer is'one of any grade' of
the line Pppoifaillo, assist the captain in super
vising the (Walla of adrniniatratiim,.under the

latter's command, and to act as chief of police.
Ills only authority is what may be delegated to
him by the captain, who is exclusively responsi
ble for thedondition and efficiency of the 'ship
intrusted to his management by the Govern
, went. For the performance of ' his duties he
requires no more rank and • precedence than
pertain to NS lineal position in the navy,' ust as
the aids of a General in the field do not need to
ibe of greater rank than those whom he coin
niands, in order to do their duties efficiently.
THE CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION.
The Citizens' Association, organized yester
day, is a movement which; if vigorously sus
tained and conducted, may be productive of
much good. The meeting at the Board of
Tra4e, rooms was large and enthusiastic, c,om-
prising the representation Of many millions of
property and much of the influential profes
sional and commercial 'interests of the
'city; The Citizens' Association is the creation
of a public sense of long-existing evils which
ought no longer to be borne, and it can scarcely
fail to accomplish some of the reforms, at least,
at which it is aimed.
This organization of prominent citizens of
Philadelphia is a wholly non-political one. It
is comprised of men of the most extreme di
vergence of sentiment upon all political ques7
tions, and it will neither use itself nor he used
by others, in the service of any party or with
reference to any party movement. It is a sort
of Independent highway Committee, or Board
of Health, or Street Commissioner, or what
ever may be needed to supply that practical
service to the people of Philadelphia, in the
matter of decently cleaned and paved streets,
which is not obtainable without the appliance
of some forces outside of those now in opera,
tion. Every expedient for 'giving the citizens
of Philadelphia the comfort and credit of clean
.and good streets has failed, and, as, time goes
.on, the state of ailhirs becomes worse rather
than better. It seems to be common to all
administrations. It is not'a' Democratic, fault
and it is not a Republican . fault. But -It is a
municipal fault of the gravest magnitude,
which cannot be endured without continued
efforts to correct it.
The Citizens' Association has undertaken a
task, the 'difficulties and the dimensions of
which are, we imagine, very imperfectly un-,
'derstood by those who have entered with such ,
commendable zeal into the organization. Long
experience haS proved that mere moral suasion,
mere "urging," "pressing," or "insisting,"
.will not enforce existing ordinances, procure
iie MP e ts, -- artirrol 'pats SW
ger railway companies, or do any of the things
contemplated by this Association. It must
exert seine direct power, if it is to do any good,
and it is not yet eery clearly indicated how this
power is to be obtained or applied. The con
flict between capital and labor is child's play
compared with the antagonism between the
deaire which both our municipal authorities - and
the people"themselves feel to improve the city,
and that which they - feel to keep down the
taxes and expenses. It is between these two
cross fires that the Citizens' Association, and all
others zealous for the good of Philadelphia, m i st
march continually ; and success will be
measured by the degree to which these con
flicting motives can be reconciled.
We do not throw out this suggestion by
way of discouragement. On the contrary, we
wish the Citizens' Association every success;
but it is well for its members to look at once,
and with impartial intelligence, at the diffi
culties of, its woik, Such a survey will result
in the adoptien of a prudent and well-digested
plan of campaign, anti will prevent the wasting
of force and ammunition upon impracticable
or unnecessary efforts.
DAWES ON LEAGUE ISLAND.
We have been accustomed to regard Mr.
Dawes, of' Massachusetts, as a public man
whose ability, patriotism, business qualifica
tions and strong common„ sense were con
spicuous. He has been thought to be a states
man whose views could not be .distorteil by
sectional jealouSy, and who would not stoop to
misrepresentation and trickery-to accomplish a
desired end. But after reading the speech
made by r him in the House of Representatives
yesterday against the removal of the Philadel
phia Navy Yard, we doubt. whether we have
not overestimated either his ability or his
sincerity of purpose. Many, of the objec
tions urged by him against League Island
were pnerile and ridiculous ; and all,-
even the best that be advanced—bare
been answered completely, over and over
, that we do "not think it worth while' to
undertake the task at the present: moment. It
would be a mere rehearsal of arguments need
in. Congress and in the newspapers so often, —
that the peoPle•and the 'dullest, members of
Congrese are thoroughly familiar with the sub
je4. Mr. Dawes, indeed, feels the weakness of
his position himself; for he , admits that the
Navy 'Yard tnitst be removed 'to some- other
Flint, and supposes it will go to League Island;
but he pleads for a delay of five years. The ,
reasonableness,,:of this request is not ap
parent. The 'wants of the government are
as urgent--and- imperative now -as they can
ever be in time of peace, and if League Island
is the wretched mud-bank that Mr. Dawes
says it is, it will ho in no better, condition at •
the end of five years than it is now; nor will
'the cost of improvement be smaller„ Bat
.by
that tinie the Eastern influence in Congress
may be strong enough to defeat a' measure
Nshich will tenefit the countryi and -give this
'lava) station to some -other State. It is just
such a selfish - motive as this' that moved Mr.
Passes to oppo 'e the Leagne .Island bill. lie
.is jealous of the advantage that will be gained
by l'hiladelphia by the establishment here of a
great naval depot, and he is willing to sacrifice
the best inter ests of the government, and to
stultify himself, rather•than consent to a great
public improvement from which New England
NS ill derive no Airect and sectional - advantage.
No other construction can be placed upon his
conduct in this matter, but we hope a majority
of the members of Congress will be superior
to any such considerations, and will be willing
to accept the unanswerable arguments which
have been urged in favor of the transfer.
The deliberate insult offered to a portion of
the militia of the State on the occasion of
Governor Geary's inauguration, yesterday, on
the part of the Fire Department of Harrisburg,
was as silly as it, was gratuitous. • No one was
surprised to learn that the Philadelpbia firemen
refused to join in. the indecent ...outrage of
breaking up a, public ceremonial on account of
the VVKPC, Of OYOdy of invited quests, whose
organization is recognized by law, who oc
cupied their proper pobition in the procession,
and who have now been proved so mach the
superiors of the Democratic fire-roughs of
Harrisburg., • .
The batallion suffered nothing by
the insult offered them by the Harrisburg
firenten.' , These colored troops were in. their ,
proper place. The regiment which
. is now
being raised among the colored people 'id' Phil
adelpliiit is an honor to this • city and to the
State. It is officered and recruited, in a large
measure, from the men who rose, under all the
terrible disadvantages of traditional inferiority
and of traditional prejudice, to the dignity of
soldiers of the American Republic. Its ranks
contain many 'of those who waited impatiently
for the permission of the Government which
had held their fellows, as slaves, and then sprang
to arms in defence of Pennsylvania and of the
Union, while Many of these Harrisburg black
guards were probably skulking at home or over
the border, as fugitives froM the draft, bOunty
jumpers or deserters.
We trust that the State authorities at Har
risburg will take better care of their invited
guests, hereafter, and that, in future,' the • Fire
Department which disgraced the good people
of the Capital, yesterday, will be excluded from
all participation in , pageants and ceremonials
in which the people of other portions of the
State are invited to unite.
Senator Ferry made an admission, in the de
bate on the Virginia, question, on Monday
evening,which was at least honest, if it was not
very creditable to Senatorial dignity. He op
posed
the amendment of Mr. Edmunds be , .
cause "it would involve the return of the bill to
the House," and he declared himself opposed to
all amendments for that reason. This amounts
to nothing more nor less than the confession,
first, that the House has done a thing which it
would be likely to undo, if, it had the chance ;
and second, that Mr. Ferry is willing to pass
any - law for the - benefit of Virginia, right or
wrong, rather than imperil the immediate ad
mission of that petted State by remanding it
to the House... Such. admissions as these are .
not calculated to elevate the ideas of the pub;
lic tas'to the breadth of statesmanship or the
adherence to .strict principle on the part of
Senators Who Make them..
Our neighbor, the Ledger, usually so mem-.
rate, this morning repeats the New York, story
that Philadelphia's subscriptions to the Stanton
Fund-only-amount. to- $20,000.,.. We stated,,
several days ago, that the actual subscriptions
in this city were then $35;000, with enougli.
more assured to make the amount at least
00,000., The Treasurer of the fund, Mr.
Claghorn, yeaterday reported $38,000, with the
certainty of the total reaching not less, and
probably more ,than $50,000. Philadelphia
sometimes loses credit abroad, only because
she does not get it at home.

in the procession yesterday, much bad feeling
has' existed between thorn and the visiting fire

difficulties which happened last evening
were serious. They appear to have coin

say they were attacked. At a later hour two
parties of the Good Will and of the Harris

House, .and a 'hand-to-hand fight ensued,
during which at least one Harrisburg fireman
was seriously injured, and a Philadelphian
named llteeorrritek had his wrist severely
cut, nearly all , the tendons being severed.
There wag another fight near the depot, in
both cases the hotel fixtures suffering.
The Good Will men assert that
they were assailed 'with bad • language fur

in 'avldence that any of the better elasS' of
Harrisburg firemen participated in the

OBITUARY.
Francois Vincent Saipan.
The death of Francois Vincent Respail, the
distinguished French chendst and politician,
is announced in our cable despatches. M.
Raspail was born at Carpentrus (Vaucluse), on
January 29, 1794. Ho finished his education
at the Seminary of Avignon, and when seven
teen years of age delivered a course of lec
tures on philosophy, and the next year one on
theology. It was intended that he should join
the church, but he refused to take orders, and
after the Second Restoration went to Paris
and supported himself by teaching.
In 1825 he became attached to the
Bulletin des Sciences of Ferrusa,c, and in
1810, with M. Sargey, founded the Annules des
Sciences teObservation. These periodicals, with
others of a similar character, contain a com
plete record of his numerous investigations
into botanic, zoological and paleontogical
questions, while they also record his views on
points of chemistry, microscopic anatornyand
medical jurisprudence. But he was destined
to political notoriety as well ds to scientific
distinction. .He participated from the first
in the secret' political movements of Paris,
and took •• an active share in the revolution
of July, 1830, when he was wounded.
Although official employment was' offered
him, he stood aloof from the Government of
Louts Philippe, and refused to accept from its
chief the Cross of the Legion of. Honor. M.
Raspail aided in the organization of the Antis
du Peuple and other secret societies aiming at
the overthroW of Louis Philippe, and was so
zealous a Republican . that he: soon became
the object of serious prosecutions. He spent,
in consequence, six or seven years in prison,
where he wrote several of his scientific
works and obtained the materials for his Re
fume' Pibitentiaire,
.pnblished in 1839. M.
Raspail took a prominent part in the revolu
tion of 1848, and headed the crowd which
gathered at the Hotel de Ville on the evening
of Feb. 24, and proclaimed the Republic be
fore the arrival of the Provisional Govern-.
ment. -He was one of the leaders of the in
surrection 'of May 15, and was arrested and
confined at Vincennes until April, 1849, when
he was tried and sentenced to . five years' hard
labor at Douliens. Netwithstanding his in
carceration, the Department of the Seine
elected him a member of the National Assem
bly in September, 1849, and in December he
received 36,000 votes for the Presidency. He
was released in April; 1854, and immediately
retired to Belgium. He has since published a
periodical entitled Revue Complementuire des
Sciences Appliqués,. and .an annual work on
household medicine, which enjoys immense
popularity. As to his return into public life,
he reader- is too familiar to need extended
information. M. Raspail was an " irreconcila
ble" 'candidate to the Legislature at the re
eent elections, and was chosen as one of the
representative men of the extreme Left.—

The proposed lease Is only a new form of the old agita

of the expectation that there will be a union of all the
various coal intereste in Penusylvania and Western
Maryland. The public would do well to he on their

of getting out of the stock. Coal as a speculation has
been a failure this winter. The prospects of the coal

ESecution of Tropmann to-day.
[By Hasson'eliewe Agency.]
PARIS, January 19.—The execution of Trop
mann, the murderer of the Kinck
took place this morning. An immense crowd
commenced to -gather in. the - "'vi
cinity of the place - of, execution
at an early '. hour. The scaffold
was erected during the night on the Place de
1a Baguette. Before daylight this morning,
Heidenreich, the official executioner, tested
the scaffold, fastened the axe to the block,.
and proceeded to the prison: The Director of,
the Prison conducted him in person to the
cell of Tropmann; who appeared pale and ex
cited, as if having, passed a sleepless night.,
Laying his band upon his shoulder, Heiden-
reich addressed his victim—" Thou , belongest
to me !" A perceptible shudder passed over
his frame as these terrible words were pro
nounced, and Tropmann seemed to have corn- ,
pletely lost the self-possession which charac
terized him during his trial.
His hands were tied behind his back, a: short
chain was put to his fe,et,whiCh permitted him
to make very short stops, and the chain was
connected with the hands by a rope. The
prisoner was then conveyed to the scaffold,
the steps of which he ascended quickly, in an
agitated manner. His bead being in the
proper place on the . block ) the pulleys were
adjusted, and as the axe fell the terrible in
strument of death severed the neck of the
monster.
After embracing the priest, Tropmann
cried out in a loud voice, " I persist that .I
have accomplices." These were the last words
he tittered
Extraordinary, precautions had been taken
to guard against disorder. Police and mili
tary were on the ground in great force, but
their services have not been needed up to this

f Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bnlketin..l
IVAmixoToN, Jan. 19.—The delay in eh
tilling the vote in the Senate on the Virginia
bill is.regarded as a triumph for those who are
opposed to the unconditional admission of
that State; and they are now confident that
when it is reached—and the,re is some
possibility of this being done to-day—there
will be quite a respectable maj ority opposed
to the Hoge bill. The Consevatives are
quite despondent' . to-day, and say that
the reaction againstthe inunediate ad
mission of the State, or until the
ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment is
insured, has been very great during
,the past
forty4.ight hours. This reaction is hot con
tined entirely to the Senate, but is clearly dis
cernible in the House, where many Republi-
Can members originally in favor of Bingham's
hill now say they are satisfied that the House
acted, in too much haste, and.. that
they will support : any bill - passed by
the Senate, exacting, conditions before the
State is given representation. Notwithstand
ing the positive statements to the contrary,
your correspondent is fully convinced, after
talking with many Senators, that it will be im
possible to !mks 13Ingham's bill without an
amendment, The interest in the debate in

rather to have increased. As early as cloven

surface of the whole 'island nine feet the
report made by Admiral Davis, Gen. Hum
phrey, "Commodore Alden, Chief Eingineer
King and Professor Hillegard, of the United
States coast survey. If these gentlemen km)*
anything en the subject, then the ithairMan of
the Committee on Appropriations, and the

knew nothing about it or most grievously
misrepresented it. The gentleman .(Dawes)
had gone yesterday pell-mell into the
Administration, and had knthuated that the
Attorney-General Was to be expelled on ac
count of Ids honesty. He (Mr. Kelley) did not
see the exact connection of all that with
League 'lsland, although the gentleman (Mr.
Dawes) had linked it to this bail by an imagi
nary state of $BOO.OOO. So far as he (Mr.
Kelley) knew, that appropriation was a mere
creature of somebody 's imagination.
Mr. Kelley proceeded at considerable length
,to; detail the advantages which League island
presented for ironclad:, and the disadvanta„„oes
of the vresent Navy Yard at Philadelphia. lie
