OBUEI/rif WIB SAW. , Through;thß.ine(lian)«f anprderjt^aSecre tary of-the Navy has given to the country an account of 4 series of •jnhuman cmeities'pwf petrated .by Captain -A. A. Semmes,'of the American Navy, upon the person of aCotnmon seaman named Joseph King. ■ The base of King may be stated briefly, as 1 idilpws : Upon certain occasions, upon' what provocation docs not appear, King, then upon the,ship Ports mcathi at Rio Janetro, used disrespectful \lktit gnage to his superior diQcer;he v?hsplaced under arrest for this, and he Jtben repeated, the offence In a worse.mariner.- Afc >the'time of his courts •martial for these crimes, be. Insulted Captain Sttnmes; this, also, was repeated upon two sneceeding ‘ Upbn subsequent periods he attempted to desert, he shook a boat-hook at some officers, and he challenged a lieutenant to mortal combat. This is a complete catalogue of Joseph King’s offences;, and it will readily be admitted that they are of such a heinous character as to merit severe legal punishment. But Captain A. A. Semmes was not satisfied to inflict the penalties pro vided by law ; he went far beyond the law, and gratified his thirst for revenge by subjecting King to horrible torture. After the commis sion of each of the above-mentioned crimes, a summary court-martial was organized oh the Portsmouth, and, by the authority of Captain A. A. Semmes, the following punishment was inflicted upon King: - •“On the 7th of May he was sentenced to Coninement in double irons, on bread and veaterfof thirty days, loss of three months’ pay, and extra police duties for three months, and this sentence was carried into effect. • •' On the morning of the Bth of May he was confined in the launch of the Portsmouth, his feet ironed to a ring-bolt, his hands in irons, exposed to the burning rays of the sun, and was forced to remain in this position without food or drink until towards evening, when he was taken from the launch to the berth-deck of the ship, and,there gagged and confined in a eweat-box of such dimensions that it was impossible to sit down in it. In addition to the ill ventilation of the place, which he was not allowed to leave, a bucket was placed in tbo sweat-box for purposes of nature that was emptied hut once in twenty-four hours. His health .was. affected,to such an extent that it was thoiight expedient heshouldbe put under medical treatment; and he was so ti-eated, still remaining in confinement. “ Ob tho 7th of December he was confined in double irons on the berth deck of the Ports mouth, and on the same evening was made to stand by. a reel on the deck, and his hands being ironed behind him were attaohed to an eyeiboltabove, and kept up forsixty hours or thereabouts, during about twelve hours of which,he was gagged. He was so confined for ten days, .with tne exception oi two periods of twentyffour hours each.” After the infliction of this torture, which the Secretary of the Navy declares tb have been “ wholly'illegdl,’’ and -which was infinitely wickeder than the offences it pretended to pun ish, it would'be thought that the vengeance of the gallant Captain A. A. Semmes would have been fully gratified. But the Captain was 'not more than half through. When the sentences of all 'his special private courts-martial had been executed,'Rear-Admiral Laanian was in duced to order a “ general conrt-tnartial,” be fore wbiob the. viptim was brought for final punishment. .This'humane and just body con cluded to itreat Joseph King’s case exactly as if it had neser been treated before, so it sen tenced him as‘follows: “To be ooniined in -.double irons till an opportunity .Offers .of Bending him to the united States .in. a United States vessel, when he shall be sent; and daring the passage home he sballbe eonfinectin double irons, and on his am raj an'the United States he shall be confined in such prison or penitentiary as the Hon. Secretary .of the Navy shall designate,for Jive years at heard labor, the tiineof confinement in the prison or penitentiary to count from the date of the sentence; to .forfeit all the pay' ••• SPIRITS TOKrwS'WNM.-lH BARRELS priinu wbitc Spirit.

Hunt legally elected and entititled to a seat. He spoke in favor ofHunt’s claim, and argued to show that his friends had conducted the can vass.in fairness; bad carefully avoided every cause of offence, and bad polled an unques tionable majority fbrHnnt. The testimony and the actual returns show that Hunt had a clcar and undeniable majority of. between ten and eleven thousand.
