every me vto to keep their.furci during this depres

of any influence in that district who are in favor
of the re-olratitin of Colonel Florence. ' • ' : ;

Secrete , ht the Navy. • ' ' -• J. B,"
The undersigned regard , this as a serious offence.
Itia thoduty of the Secietary to determine tibial

Judicial' tit The rights of parties under the law,
and thetlrigbts of goverriment,, were inyolved in
the aweid• Any suggestions at fact or motive,
except .i..ctse which would wish!, the Secretary to
adjudge thich of the competing bidders was the
lowest ', s tensible one, was improper. The Sec
retary , s the 'subordinate of the. President,
holding; ea at his pleasure, naturally controlled

by his ell I; and by law he is frequently required
to award i nd adjudge withorttegard to the Pres- ,

How; 'lOl-2.) ', Under these circumstances the
„Presidetitlsuggested talkie Secretary, and in-wri
ting called his • attention to the importance of
awardingione of the contracts for machinery to
Merrick A Sons, In order' to secure that firm its
lavorafi the re ejectii4 ot thoy potent political In

• Of the election to' his distrfet beyond all, doubt,
and generally te'4nerease the influence of that
firte, chalk might bo exercised in favor Of the
democraii6 porty.
If thd President' hid. 'euggested to a, judge 'of
the Untied States courts that hi tender a Juig
meni In laver of *orih of the parties litigant
,in a
cause 'pending before him, because that judgment
would aid in the election of a party favoilte, or
would contribute to the success of the deon'ocraties
party, thd general voice of the people would de
mend hiS ;impeachment. Is it a NM 'serious d
ime& when thie suggestion is made by the 'Presi
dent to OM Secretary 'of the Nevi? The judge
is hap:mill:the-power of the President; the Secre
tary is Istithin 'his pewer. 'Each is required to
perform; lila judicial functions. The suggestion
by the president or, corrupt motives' to either is
equally dangerous, and is more likely to sneeeed

The tenns'of the store of the 'President imisid
nut be niikunderstoodt by a subordinite. Nonce
can read the leiter and 'note without a comb:doe
that thetbducement in - the letter was regarded by
the President as a proper one to be' submitted and
to require the attention of the Secretary. - Thus
endorsed,: the corrupt motiiii suggeste d would de
cide the lewar.l.withunt regard to cost, unless the
Secretary evinced a higher sense of public duty
than hii, Superior. ' ; - ''''
Shouldlit.be said that this letter did not lefiu
eine ' the award, the reply it that the offence is
in submitting eeorropt motive• to the considers
'lion ofthe Secretary. BM the award was made
to Merrick A Sons.. How tar it influenced the

The struggle for the contraet for tbe'Meehinery
of the smaller sloop-of•war building - in Philndef.'
phis. known as thu ".tiritilth ship," presents' some
rimming requiring notice. Before the law of June
12; 1858 e was passad, Mr. Norris, an engineer,
who .for some years had retired frotn'aetiver busi
ness, desiied; in - connection with 'John W. rGrif
fith, to bind a vessel of light draught pot/ great
epees . for the navy of the United Slates. Upon
the recommendation of Mr. Norris, in June last,'
and in pursuance of a previous promise by the•
President , to Mr.-Norris, hir. blriffith was appoint:
ed temporary naval constructor nt Philadelphia,
Mr. griffith at once prepared -his plans for the
ship, and • sent them to the department.' They
were• somewhat peenliir,"and designed to secure
light draught and great aped, but to have a heavy
armament.
Norris prepared his plans for the machine
ry, and made is bid nt
in Sppteher,lBs6, to con
struct that machinery for the government at
$126,900. The two plans were designed, and the
machinery end the vessel were intended for each
other. When the bids were opened it was found:
that the maiddnerj of Mr. N-11:1iS .was the only
kind . proposed that was adapted to the pendiar
model of the ship, and that hoslone of the bidders
bad been tarnished with the midsbip sections,
plans sod clews of the vestelond knew that it
was to have two propeller& Coder these eircum,
stencils, new proposals were 'very rroperly invited.
Norris adhered to his bid, and proposals were rah: .
matted:by Naafi* t Co., of ybiladelnhia,
and - the. Allaire Works, of New Tel*. Thereon.
. ten t, however, was loon narrowed down to Norris
And Retiney. Neafie & Co: The bid of the latter
wesisl39,ooo. boitrd of 'lone engineers of-this
navy was called to consider these bids, with the
plans and sFecifications of loch. The board was
,equally divided iniiia - report.

meet, sought to succeed by political influence.—'
The siFigaler• spectacle
,was presented of an ex-.

Finally legislation was had, but It was in advance .
