Jbulwer’s lost, and we may almost add, best to ni)»>°e, entitled "What will he do with it," has jdst been issued by Harpers, of New York, oom plots in one .volume, and may be had in every bookstore in the land. The price is seventy-fire osnts. How muoh, we ask our readers, (or they may ask us,) is the price in England ?—Exactly ttn dollars and a half. With us, at a low prioe, if will be bought and read by all olosses; in Eng land only those who oan afford to pay two guineas boy the book. The result will be that where 'Mi handrcd copies are sold in England, one thou- Band—if not muoh more—will be sold in Amerioa. yf Bio not critieiss the book. Wo reoommend try pars ,u to buy it. To ns, it seems, on re-pe dl (in Blaekthood’s Magazine and Harper’s Weekly, in both of whioh it appeared simultane cnply) that this is the very best story of sooial and political life in England ever published. It has familiarity of Sickens, but it is not the Itiis a panorama of English life, t ;I7hilo we render full honor to living worth, ,we must not forget the illustrious dead. Not long Mjb, a great writer departed from among.us—one wlmse genius shod lnstre upon his nativo land, Mid who in Europe, fairly won a reputation, as a pan of high intellect and preatlve genius, suoh' as, np'to that period, no man, exoopt Sir Walter Scott, ifnd been able to obtain. It is very singular that, While In his own country, James Fenlmore Cooper twas the object of mnch hostile orltioism, he was mdio popular ’in England, even than onr friend .Washington Irving; for whtlo the popularity of •Irving rested mainly upon throa works —the Sketoh-Book, Braoobridge Hail, and Knioker bOcker'M History of New York—Cooper attracted 'and enchained pnhlio attention by eaoh suo deislve work. We rcoolleot with what anxloty w ' now novel by Cooper was expected in England, how eagerly it was devoured, how sdioglstically it waß oritioisod, how tenderly oven jtlsoocaaionai anti-Anglioan remarks wore receiv ed. To this hoar it is doubtful among novol-read lers whether Coopdh was more at home on land er pSa. Ilia Leather-Stocking aeries of fiotions ri fpls MS wonderful sea-stories. On the prairie, in the forests, on the lakes, and amid the hurrloanos iff the mighty ocean, Cooper is equally at home. Seither here, nor yet abroad,.has he lost his popu larity. In England his works have a great sale, for. eo&rcely any bookshelf, even in a working man's humble home, bnt contains some of Cooper's side by .Bide with Soott’s. Hsrs, where Brltlos assailed them harshly, the public read him. jrbo average sale of his novels during the last fonrteon years has been 50,000 volumes per annum? each volume containing a complete work, f We aro glad to notloe that a now edition, oem (dote in thirty-two monthly volumes orown oc tavo, richly ornamented with original illustra tions, designed by barley, -and exeouted by the best engravers on steel and wood, is on the eve pf publication. These will include the whole se ries, from " Precaution,” published in 1821, to •I The Ways of the Hour,” whioh appeared In 1850. The specimen pages and engravings enable iij to say, etfon thhs early, that this series will be pne of the most handsome editions of any popular author ever issued—superior even to the Abbots ford edition of the Waverley Novels, in reipeot to djmvenlenoe of size and lowness of price. Eaoh :volume will oontain two steel-engravings and j twelve vignettes on wood, all from original draw ings by Barley, with whom the illustration of '(looper has literally been “ a labor of love.” The Lartist and the anthor are admirably adapted to eaoh other. The volumes—one to appear on the first of every month—will bo. published exclu sively by subscription, by William E. Townsend A’Co. , New York. With Tieknor A Fields’ house hold edition of .the Waverley Novels on one shelf, forthcoming edition of Blokons on an other, and this beautiful re-issuo of Cooper on a 'third; a man canhave a library of notion, the best ip the language, at a very small expenditure.

I r Jfcetter 'flrom Washington, of The Press.] Washington, January 18,1859. I wonder what the Administration papers of thitfoUy,'and all those individuals disloyal to the gttprinoiple of popular sovereignty and Us oa fledged head, think of the overwhelming re -7 flott'gfven to Judge 'Bougies in the-Senate 1 House yesterday, on the oooaidon of the announce sent,, by the ?Hoaae,of the death of Thomas L. Harris, late of the Illinois dlstriot ? Buoh an oat* pouring of the fair and* brave of the capital's deni* sens and visiters has never before graoed the walls of the new Senate chamber, and but seldom the old. * It could not he considered -as -merely a tribute of respect to the memory of de parted worth, although Harris was-loved and revered by those of the. Federal Olty who were ac quainted with him ; for while every'inoh of room was besieged In the Senate, the House, notwith standing the glowing eulogies of Morris of Illinois, Olark of New York, Adrainof Hew Jersey, others, was, comparatively speaking, entirely de serted. It was not only an occasion of. marked rospeot and deep sorrow for the early decease of the good andjost, but also a token of admiration for the living representative of those principles whioh Harris carried with him untarnished to the grave. In Judgoßouzlas has'been disooverod the growth and strengthening of that faith polUieal whfoh tbe ley hand of death only prevented the lamented Harris from presenting to the oountry at large, without spot or blemish. I say, then, it was an ominous gathering, that in tbe Senate chamber yesterday—one that has boon commented upon at the hotels, along the sido-walks, and around the fito-side, with many surmises as to the ultimate result of suoh manifestations. % Perhaps some disappointment and reject may h&ve taken plaae, because Judge Bonglas ‘read his speech. But what of that? May we not find a ready apology for this In consid eration of tbe intensity of friendship and love existiog botween Mr. Harris and himself, thoreby compelling him to adhere to a plain and conoiso narrative of those foots in the life of Mr. Harris, whioh would find a ready eoho in the breast of every true and honest friend of the de ceased, in preference to exhibiting the private grief of his own heart, with which his hearer s might know but little, and whioh by some might be attributed desire to engage a sympathy fo reign to the real feelings of his soul ? I must ad mire the oourse pursued by the Little Giant in his eulogy, plainly speaking to all: »« Friend. I owe more tears To this (lead myo than thou shalt see me pay.’ l If the only objeot of Harris's life had been to, dying, leave behind him a name bright and efful gent as a sammor's sun, who will presume to deny tbe accomplishment of that aim? Who will dare to say that the habillxnonts of sorrow whioh have clad the halls of Congress do not bespeak a true and sincere reverenoo for the publio and private virtues of the deceased? And while our loss is his gain, still in the doatb of alt great men there is a lesson to be drawn, and one which is imprinted upon the minds of all those who are ambitious in the sonse of emulating their virtues and perpetuating their memory. Quitman and Harris are gone; but yet their lives are fresh to us, and there are those still spared us, who shall add to the phalanx of the illustrious dead. In the memories thoy shall leave behind them. Advices from Arizona as late os Deoembor 6th, inform me that the mines are still drawing large numbers from California, and that persons return ing from Arizona report the mlnos as very rloh. Several fresh discoveries have been made within a few weeks previous to date, and whioh, from ex plorations, are considered the best in that region of oountry. These mines have been worked on tho most extensive soalo by the Spaniards, who were obliged to abandon them years ago, on ac count of depredations committed by tho Apaches; but boforo doing so they covered them, and they consequently have been lost for years until the present discovery. The amount of labor ex pended on them exoeeds that of tbe Sierra Colorado mines. They are known in miner al works and in the traditions of the Mekioans as the . “ Compadil Mines/' A company calling themselves the “'Union Silver Mining Company," for tho purpose of working them, are now engaged in patting up furnaees, as well as clearing out the shafts—the fallen rub bish that has collected in them since tbolr aban donment. Tho ore is argentiferous galena, of the riohestkind, and can bo reduced by the blast fur nace in tbe oheapest manner. Some thirteen fur naces were discovered on the ground. Dr. Irwin, assistant surgeon of tho army, the writer of tho letter, dated Fort Buohanan, from whioh we ga ther this Information, expresses tho opinion that <( We have the mines of,tho country, and no mis* tako.” Any responsible party who wishes to in vest oan send out a praotioal ongineer to report the oondltlon of the mines. From all aooounts there appoars to be a fortune ahead for those who are willing to try their hand. Con. Gen. Quitman -left a sugar estate, the in oome of which ranges from $40,000 to $60,000. It goes to his daughter, wife of lieutenant Lovell, of the Water Witch. Our Harrisburg Correspondence. [Correspondence of The Press.] Harrisburg, Jan. 18. The halls of legislation hare scenery, whioh, as it strikes an observer In its panoramio and pleas* ing forms, is forolbly expressive of the evor*vary iog phases of political life, straggle and success. Dally may he seen moving in these chambers some herald or leader of a political host, whioh has had Its valiant warfare in some seotion of the Com monwealth, and with whioh oome to the minds of many veterans and zealous 00-workere, in bright ar ray, the oheering associations of memory’s “ trea sured times.” Saoh. were the feelings of some, as they beheld and joyously welcomed, this morn ing, Gen. Will Stokes, of Westmoreland—one of the mighty and ohivalroas champions of “popular sovereignty” in its original parity. Throughout the West, his voice has a stirring power, and his genius arouses an earnest feeling of admiration and esteem'. Eloquent and' enthusiastic in bat tling for principle and right, he ranks, high in publio estimation. Such are beautiful emblems of hope and promise. Messrs. Mill ward and Jnnkin, Congressmen eleot, are also here. Having fonght a good fight, they oan stand and withstand. Both are said to he men of remarkable political stamina, and have their oiroles of devotees. Tlje former of the two, yon, as Philadelphians, oan appreciate. Junkin oame through many trials and tribulations, and was finally wafted safely in by an anti-Lecompton “ norther.” So muoh for our galleries and their galaxy of notables. • The tariff question burst upon the House this morning, and the flow of sentiment, strong and deep, was refreshingly indicative of its true source—the fountain of popular will, from whioh must emanate all pure streams of State policy. This question Game up in the shape of Mr. Lawrence’s (Washington) resolutions, which, after a long preamble, Instrnot our Senators and Repre sentatives in Congress to vote for “ snob an aot as will not only tend to increase the rovenue, by the imposition of duties, but afford ample enoourage ment to all the interests of the country, more espeoially to inorease the duties on ooal and iron,” &o, Messrs. Lawrence, Ramsdell, Gritman, Miller, Goepp, and some others, debated the question at length and very enthusiastically. The vote being taken on the resolutions, only two voted against them—Messrs. Goepp, of Northampton, and Laird, of Brie, (both Democrats) Ninety-outvoted in the affirmative. Mr. Parker read, in plaoe in the Senate, “An aot for the modification of the first section of an aot of 1855, to widen Chatham street, in the city of Philadelphia.” It is to so modify that "the width of Chatham street, or, as it is now called, Berks, be reduced to sixty feet between Front and Broad; the said width to be taken in equal quantity from eaoh side of the middle line of said street, as originally laid out, <feo. The same gentleman read bills to incorporate the Fairmount Park Passenger Railway Company and the Twelfth and Thirteenth-streets Passenger Railway Company.

TIIE GOLD FIELDS OF NEBRASKA—-THOUSANDS FLOORING TO THE MIRES—MINERS MAKING FROM BIGHT DOLLARS TO SIXTEEN DOLLARS PER DAY WITH PANS—NEBRASKA IN CONGRESS—GENERAL NEWS, AO. (Correspondence of The Press.] Fontbnbllb, Dodge Co., N. T., Jan. 7,1859. . It Is some timo slaoe I have written to The Press a letter from our beautifal Territory, and I will devote the present hour ; “to that same.’* Were I to write of what occupies the pnblia mind hereabpnts at present, daring the past fonr months, and what will oooupy it for a long time to come, It wonld be concerning the famous newly disco* vered gold diggings of Nebraska, oat on the Platte' river and Cherry oreek, some five hundred and forty'mlles westward from here. It ezoeeds any thing in the shapeofa generally prevailing ex citement I ever before witnessed. Farmers are leaving their ploughs to rust, doctors their patients to get well, lawyers their briefless briefs, minis ters their charges to athirst for spiritual good, land agents their oorner lots and quarter,sections to grew up in prairie grass, and semboooasionally debtors loave their oredltors minus (hat “ little balanoe due”—all 'to hie away to the diggings. Here in the West it assumes the featureof a fear ful malady. You talk with a friend to*day, seem ingly in good health and sane mind to-morrow you aro called upon to bid him good-bye,,and he passes away HEo~& shadow. You seat yourself toioogitate ou the subjeot, and are setzed : with strange symptoms—visions of wealth float before' you—-ten dollars a day—a joyousoamp life on the frontier —gold seekers and golden sand—all flit before you in the imagination,' and, wearied,, yoh retire to bed, and morning finds yon just gone.- tit is a disease, and hothlng • shorter, bidding fair to sweep off two-thirds of the Missouri population of Nebraska, and one-half of lowa, next spring; and that U will spread all over the Eastern States with as fearful effect as did the California fever, before next fall, I have not the slightest doubt. Bnt to the figures and reality. From evidences now before us, the gold region of Nebraska fas they are truthfully termed, In steu&gl Pikers Peak) cover au area of country about as extensive as California, and the gold de posits found yield about $2O to the ounce. It is more generally disseminated over the country than in California or Australia. It is not confined to the Platte river, Cherry, and Dry creeks, in our own Territory, but Is found upon the Arkan sas, Gila, Colorado, and Rio Grande, and giving token that the country In whioh these streams head Is abounding w/th the precious metal in a more oompaet shape. Upon Cherry oreek, and the South Platte, (the former is a small tributary of the latter) miners had been making, before the rrintor set in, from $8 to $l5 per day with shovels and pans. Near the mouth of the first-men tion ea oreek there are, within a circuit of about twenty miles, about one thoosand miners, all doing well. Those who have migrated thither, from this section, write book cheering news, and advise their friends •to forsake all and follow. A few have returned for their fami lies and a more extensive fit out. Since the first of the oxoitement here—now some four months—not a discouraging word has arrived from there. The route via the north of the Platte, and upon the Mormon trail, is regarded by all as the best and the nearest, making from 'Counoil Bluff city or Omaha olty a distance of about 560 miles, and an excellent road all the way. Some trains have already arrived In the Territory ready to Start early in the 6pring, and some of the more energetic ones in our midst expect to start-next month. By the fourth of July next, X prediot a population in the mines of from 15,000 to 25,000 souls, and, by that time, an oxoitement throughout the Eastern States almost unparalleled upon a like subjeot. Our Territorial affairs in Congress have an able representative in Hon. F. Fergusoo, and the peo ple seem to have an abiding eonfidenoe in his ability. The formation of a new judioial district in the mining region is needed, as this plaoe is the nearost point where a district oourt is hold, some 640 miles. An appropriation to defray the ex penses inonrred in onr Indian troubles of 1865, whioh, though comparatively bloodless, saved from abandonment and probable massaore our frontier settlement, is justly due aud should pass. A bridge across the Platte river Is needed. An appropriation to complete the oapitol is asked for, and a homestead donation to actual settlers, Ac. Judge S. Black, of Pittsburg, I understand, is an applicant for the post of Governor ofNebraska, with a fair prospeot of receiving the appointment. The weather thus far has been unusually mild. But little snow has fallen. Provisions plentiful and at moderate prioes. More anon. J. W. P. Sinoular Incident—A Man Digs his own Grave.— Our'readers no doubt reoolieot that, Borne weeks ago, we ohronioled in the Herald the acci dental snooting and killing of a Mr. Jones, near Waterford. His friends at Waterford had made all nepesßary arrangements for the burial; oMr. McKinney was employed to make the coffin and dig the grave. But, previous to the interment, the relatives of Jones appeared, and the corpse was removed for interment in a distant ohuroh yard. Thus the grave dug by MoKinney remained open. And now oomes the strange part of this ohapter of strange incidents. McKinney, while riding a few days sinoe, was thrown and killed. Hla coffin was made of the planks sawed by, his own hands, on which the lifeless body of Jones had. reposed: and he was buried in the grave which he had dug for Jones. Thus is presented the unusual phenomenon of a man who “ Bleeps that Bleep that knows no waking." in a grave whioh his own hands had dug.— Holly Springs (iutss.) Herald , Jan, 8. The Difference. —Robert Morris, the co lored lawyer of Boston, bargained for a residenoe in Carysville, but the seleot white inhabitants of that looality romonatrated with the owner of the property, and prevented him from making the sale. At the safe in the parish of Iberville, on the Missisaippi, of the estate of the late Samuel Harrison, a few weeks since, there were assembled a large number of the neighboring planters, and it is one of tho wealthiest and most fashionable neighborhoods in tbe State. Tho plantation and negroes were offered in a lump, and a spirited bid ensued. Finally the property was knocked down to a free negro for the sum of $260,000. Af ter the sale the prloe was commented on, but there was neither a word nor a look of disapproba tion. . Prize Fight.—Two white men, m Scott county, Ky., had a prize fight on New Year's day for $5O. Their names were Morrison and Inskip. Twenty-seven rounds were fought, and Inskip failing to come to the mark when the twenty eighth round was called, Morrison was declared the viotor. Of the twenty-seven rounds fought, Inskip won thirteen, and Morrison fourteen Ip the last round Inßkip pressed Morrison back against the rope, and struok a wild blow, hitting a stake, and smashing his hand almost to a jelly. The pain was so excessive that he fainted, thereby joslng tho battle. TWO CENTS. EXCITING NEWS PROM EUROPE, ARRIVAL of THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, A SCENE AT THE TUILERIES.

TUB LONDOk TIMES" OK AMERICAN COMPLAINTS AGAINST ENGLAND. ;From the Times of Jaonary ith ] The Congress of the United' States, by a veiy convenient arrangement, meets two months be fore the Parliament of the United Kingdom: We say by a convenient arrangement; because Congress U thus enabled to do justice to the annual crop; of grievances against Great Britain, and the English .Government has the opportunity of appeasing tho periodical outburst of Transatlantic wrath'before our own representative institutions are brought into play .By virtue of this convenient arrange ment we are pat in possession of- information with regard to Central American affairs whioh we mast otherwise have waited' for, till the beginning’ of February, and are thus in a position to judge how far we have merited those‘indignant oommeiHs which the Amerioan newspapers have directed against our alleged reassertion of the rights, of visitation and searoh, in time of peace, whioh has followed, they say, on their- pretended surrender. In the first pleoe, we learn from a despatch 1 of Mr. Dallas, corrected in some respeots by Lprd Napier, that Sir William Gere Ouseley, whose pre sence in Central -Americahas ‘been the cause, of so muoh discontent and cavil, boa been employed in negotiating a treaty with Nicaragua, one of the objects of whioh wtta that Surrender of the pro tectorate over the Mosquito Territory, so long ire f aided with .dislike by tbe United States. Lord [almesbury farther informed Mr. Dallas that it was the intention of the British Government* to protect Sir W. G Ouseley from being interrupted in his miss lon. by the presence of Walker and his filibusters. General Cassj it appears, considers tbe orders issued by tbe British Government for the protection of, the, plenipotentiary as a violation of the Ctayton-Bulwer treaty. These orders were, that if the State of Nioaragua required for its defence from filibusters the active intervention of military power, a British armed force was te land, seize them, and hand them over, if Amerio&ns, to their own Government, • and having-done this, retire immediately. This intervention was only to be ex ercised during the time the diplomats representa tive of the British Government wak in the country. Mr. Dallas seems to fear'that the English naval officers might, under suoh oircuipstanees, become mere tools of the dominant party in Nicaragua, and seize as filibusters whomsoever they ohose to designate by that name.' ! He maintains aleo that, although the British Government has no right to use force for the purpose of defending its diploma tie representative, because such foroe would be an “ occupation" within the meaning of the Clayton- Bulwer treaty, no suoh difficulty would aeoruefrom an armed intervention by the United States,' in accordance with tho President's message, for the purpose of opening the route across the Isthmus— that is, of placing it in the permanent “ occupa- the United States Lord Malmesbury thinks both prooeediags would be right—our pro tection .of our diplomatist, and the American protection of the route. Mr.. Dallas thinks the Amerioan intervention would be right, but ours wrong. The objection oomes with an ill grace at the time when we are actually engaged in an attempt to get rid of that Mosquito protectorate, whioh the United States contend is an “ occupation," within the meaning of the treaty. It is not rea sonable to construe instructions to naval officers with the same strictness as if they were treaty stipulations, or to suppose that our.officers will find hily difficulty, or require any osrist&noe from the State of Nioaragua, in discovering who are the filibusters whom they are'required to seize, and more especially .ungracious is this cavil'when it is remembered that the object of the orders is to pro tect a British diplomatist engaged in negotiating a treaty, in a sense agreeable to the United States, from the lawless violenoe of Amerioan oitiiens, let loose upon the State with whioh he is nego tiating by the default of their own Government. If the President really wishes to get credit for a desire to put down that filibustering spirit to whioh he gave too muoh oountenanoe at the Con ference of Ostend, he should, at any rate, abstain from throwing difficulties in the way of a friendly Government, whioh, in discharging the duty of protecting its minister, is driven to. do for hu manity and civilization that whioh the Govern ment of the United States ought itself to have done. * » . Passing over matters of less oonsequenoe, we ootue to a correspondence carried on at San Juan del Norte between Commander M’lntosh, of the United Statos ship Roanoke, and Capt Sir Wil liam Aldham, of her Majesty's steamer Valorous. The Amerioan officer oomplalns that the Amerioan steamor Washington was visited by two offioers of the Valorous at San Juan del Norte, and that the Amerioan steamer Catharine Maria was visited in the Colorado river by Captain Wainwright, of her Majesty's ship Leopard. Captain Wainwrights offence seems to have been that he went on board the vessel, asked whether they had seen any fili busters, and, being answered In the negative, im mediately withdrew This statement Commander M’lntosh considered satisfactory. Sir William Aldham’s offence was of a deeper dye. Fifteen minutes after the Washington entered the bar bor of Ban Juan two offioers from the valo rous boarded her, and asked the following ques tions* “ Where from?" “How many passengers hayo"'you? n “fßowwapy days out from How NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

VV We feel it due .to our professional and. business reputation to make a plain statement of foots, the .truth of whisk we hold ourselves personally re sponsible to substantiate by incontrovertible evi dence. ' When, in tha month of September !aat,.the bids were opened for the maohinery for the ship' known as the Griffith ship, it was found that the orilrbld submitted was by one Wm: Norris. - - •/. .» The Navy Department, finding that therft. had been no oompetition, because suoh information as was necessary to enable bidders to propose had been furnished by Mr. Griffith to'Mr. Nortfry and to no' one' else, diredt4d : an'advertiseinent - tb’issne Inviting proposals, and'furnished at the same tlme the nudship section and side elevation of the ship. Mr. Griffitii, although the agent of the. Gover nment, refused to afford any information to bidders, alleging as a reason that he* had apprcyed Mr. Nor ris’s plans, and wonld have no communication with any one else on-the riubjeot; - , 1( ' .On the 4th of November the plans were, by the Secretary. of the to a hoard of four engineers, two of whom reported in favor of our plans, and two, whilst'not disapproving, thought Mr: Norris's equal. * , : plans of Mr, Norris, according to thereport, containing radical - defects, the. Secretary invoked the counsel of two of the’most eminent engineers in the corps, and' they^unhesltatingly 1 pronounced iu onr favorj and pointed out clearly ‘the errors of Mr.'Norris’s dxawin gs,-.which - were of? a ; character so important and glaring.as their orindei surprise that any engineer of bompetepey should have been wUUrig to 1 nazardhis 'reputation by * • - c v The department, as the ship - was ? to, be con structed by a gentleman -not attached to the ser vice, was wiUing.to allow, the. greatest latitude of investigation, and requested 'Jhe attendance of three engineers, not membets of the’ Government corps, one'of whom reported in Our favor, ud 'the rem&ining.twe gave-Mr. Norris a plans the prefer ence, but did. not oondemn ours. - It is, however, worthy of remark that the most Abject appeals were mado to at. least two of ’-the members of thnbdard, in Mr* Norris’s behalf,-be fore they reached Washington-to enter upon ;the diaobarge of their duties. - . ; '■ It.wiU-be observed that the drawings were'sub mitted to nine* englneen, fiva of whom reported in our favor,* arid four in favor of Mr. Norris, anifryet none objecting to ottr plans. '• -‘ j r i - r * After the investigation had oloeed, :we were asked to Btate the xqte of speed whioh we would gaaranty to accomplish; and at'once we fixed it at sixteen miles per hour, With a forfeiture of $15,000 in case of a failure, hut without increasing the price first named for the work.: A short time before the award was made, Mr. Norris preferred; charges against the engineer in ohiof for having furnished us with copies of his plans, Ac., Ac. To this we replied by affidavits, denying the allegations,'stating, at the same time, that it was by no means comptimeiitary to an ex perience of sixteen years, and the construction of more than three hundred steamers, to suppose that we would copy, much less Improperly obtaur, plans or drawings from one wbo 'hfth never constructed a marine engine of any kind. The' Secretary of the Navy, in making his deoision, 'carefully re viewed the testimony against the. engineer, in chief, and in support of the charges made, but.did not find even the shadow of oviderioe to sustain Mr. Norris in his position. The award was accordingly made: Pint, be cause of the superiority of our plans ss decided by a majority of those to whom the proposals had * been suomltted,.without being condemned by any one; and, secondly, beoause we were the lowest bidders for the workrtaking into ike aooount tha rate of speed guarantied by us, whioh, by the-de partment, was considered a desideratum. ; Toe foots thus stated are susceptible of proof, as well as .many others by no means creditable to Mr. Norris and his’associates. 1 It is susceptible of proof that Mr.'Norris’s movement was a dishonorable combination, at the head of whioh Mr. Griffith must be placed, aided by a bouse ,in this city, who, having so long en joyed the Governmentpatronage. that they regard any competition as an impudent interference, and in'whose.establishment tbe plans were made for the purpose of accomplishing, by indtreot and un fair means, what they felt they could not aohleve openly and directly. It is also susceptible of proof that, notwith standing Mr. Norris had charged us with oopying his plans, when he was asked to point out a single detail in which the drawings were alike, he, was compelled, and did openly acknowledge, that ha had been In error, and had done the engineer In ohief injustice, and that, in no single particular, were they alike'. We dismiss the subjeot for the present. What steps we may feel it our duty to take, in order to bring to light the trite character of this cootro veny, will be made public through other ohannels, and without our aid. Heaney, Nbatik A Co.
