In regard to the tvoS locations—League Island and New London— and which la best adapted to the purpose! of such a navy yard and < dpdt as is contemplated by the Govern ment, the Board were divided in opinion. The ma jority, comprising four members, award to New London the preference over League Island for a navy yard.” So for the Secretary. I have sought out the pro ceedings of the commission, and find the opinion re ferred to by him expressed In these resolutions: “Besotted, That, in the opinion of this Board, the public interests will not he promoted by acquiring the tilth to league Island tor naval purposes. “Resolved, That the harbor of New London possesses greater advantages tor a navy yard add naval ddpdt than any other location examined by this Board.” The above resolutions are signed by Commodores . Stiingbam, Gardner, and Van Brant, and by Mr. Sanger, engineer. And yet, in the face of this, so well satisfied was the Secretary, backed by the opinions of Professor Bathe and Commodore Mareton, that the river Dela ware waa the true site, that hafooncluded this part of Ma report by saying: “As neither the harbor of New London nor the Water* of Nsrrsgansett Bay are adapted to the wants of an iron navy, whatever may be the advan tages to other respects, and as League Island has toe requisite of fresh water, security from external Snsmiec. and proximity to iron and coal, I purpose In native and accept for the Government the muni* Stott donation of toe city of Philadelphia, union Congress shall otherwise decide.” and unfortunately for us, Congress did otherwise I'eolde, for «ry e»rly In th. teuton th. following joint resolution w»« Introduced In the Senate: J 11 Fpaoimd, That the Secretary of the Navy Da iU i r «t£d not to receive and aeccpt tho title to League I(j»nd, near FUtadelphta, unlen Congreia ahall otherwise direct” you may remember, Mr. Editor, that tbit reiola tion gave rite to one or the moat lengthy and in tereating debatre of that aeaaion; the whole quea* UonWMfillly dIMUHed; the elrtma or Penn«lv.nl» Senator*, WUmot and S?S?w^i?S. at 5® ' lo ne while auoh a atom bUM block aa the profeaalonal oplniona or the men n »“ M ls J\ in 'heir way 1 The reeul t waa uuvitable ; the reaolnUon wa* adopted, and the Secretary’s hands thereby tied. • Ana bow, ilr, having fought tho bottle against ijOftgue Island, and won the victory, too, will our iMeada of New London enter into the contest anew, ( with any serious apprehensions of the result?

J. M. Broomall, fixing the site Of the navy yard on th© river Dataware, And within the borders of Pennsylvania* where all scien tific and practical men will say it should be, and leave the location of the particular spot with the Government. I should be doing injustice to such of mv fellow-citizens of Delaware county as have re cently moved in this matter were Ito stop here. Their position has been most shamefully misrepre sented, The simple facts are these: They had not been so long from school as to have forgotten that League Island and its immediate surroundings did not comprise the entire eastern front of the State below Philadelphia. They knew that there was an extensive traot of country bordering on the Dela ware river, where the objections which had been so fatal to the claims of League Island certainly did not exist. They had seen that parties engaged la the building of iron hulls and the manufacturing of marine engines had appropriated a portion of this territory to the purposes of their business, and were there in successful operation, building monitors and iros-clads for the/lovernment, making the heaviest eastings, and, in fact, doing the identical work pro posed to be done in the navy yard by the Govern ment. And yet, »« lobg as there was a hope that the objections to League Island might'be overcome, and the manifest claims of Pennsylvania be recognized, not a voice was raised nor a word spoken by them against Philadelphia's favorite spot. But when the opinion of the Board of commissioners, with all its crushing weight, became known to them, and the resulting action of the Senate taken, the question which formed the caption of this artiole came home to them as Pennsylvanians, and they felt they would incur the stigma of being traitors when the interests of their State were in such imminent danger had they kept silence longer. Personal interest, specu lation, and -what all else I know not, have been charged against them. It Is all bosh, which the par ties, whether holding their titles by inheritance, by recent purchase, or purchase more remote, have treated with silent contempt. I shall follow their example. Very respectfully, &c M p, Cbbster, Delaware Co., Feb. 16,18f4. Tiie Pay of Army Officers* Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb., 1864. To the JCditor of The Press : Sib : By cpeaiag your columns to the following remark*, in the hope they may reaoh the eye* of tho»e In authority, you will gratify many deserving men now in the lerviee of their country. It li understood there is an effort being made to • reduce the pay oi officers of the army, on the as sumption that It is larger than neoasßMv: against such a proceeding, I, in the name or many, strougly protest, and am satisfied if the subject was properly understood, no demagogue would gala popularity by advocating it, and no statesman would entertain the idea. Admitting fb&t the pay of offioers is nominally the same as when this war commenced, whioh it is not, being now subject to taxation, it is in reality one-third less, the appreciation or gold having made fully that difference in the increased expease of living, and surely those who are bearing the 1 heat and burden of the day .‘should receive the wages given to them that rested by the wayside. Officers are willing and wish to share of taxation, bat at a time when the pay for all civil labor it being increased, the pay of the soldier, who Is upholding the Government, and sustaining that civil labor, should not be reduced. The pay of the enlisted man has been largely Increased—that is right ; but do not make the officer suffer for his benefit. Bet those whom he is serving make the necessary sacrifice. I can demonstrate clearly, that in consequence of the willingness on the part, both of the Government and the public, to increase the pay of enlisted men, there are new many privates in our service who are receiving more pay than their officers, and I know of three cases In this department where officers who have been compelled to resign for Incompeteney have immediately enlisted as privates for the sake of > this large pay, and are now so serving. ! a lieutenant of infantry gets $55 per month, ! actual pay; he is entitled to four rations a day, which is commuted at $36 per month, and this amount is a fair average of what it costa in this department, at least, for his share of a mess conducted economically, and less than it would cost to live aloner He is entitled to $22 60 per month for pay, clothing, and rations of his servant, which ser vant is absolutely required to cook his food, evan ignoring the absolute necessity of a servant for me nial labor, to enable an officer to maintain the so cial position he should have, to command the respect of hia men, especially as the Government employs servants to perform the cooking for the men, and the officer’s servant costs fully the above named sum. From the above it is evident the officer gets only the $66 per month actual pay, with which he must clothe and arm himself in an expensive style prescribed by law, and support hia»family at home, which family is never supposed by the good publio to be in straitened circumstances, because, forsooth, the head of it Is an officer i On the other side, private soldiers enlisting, or re enlisting, at the present time, in at least two-thirds of the loyal States, are receiving $3OO county or ward bounty—in at least one-half they are receiving $BOO State bounty, and in all they are receiving $4OO Government bounty ter re-enlisting, and ssoo for enlisting, making in round numbers $l,OOO bounty. It is a moral certainty that these men will not be wanted for more than two years, and for this period the bounty is equal to $42 per month. This, added to their pay proper, $l3 per month, makes $56, the same pay as fee officer. The non -commissioned offioers, of course, get more. They are supplied with food, and cooks to cook it, and with ofothing, while officers are not: therefore the private soldier get* the va lue of his olothing more pay than a lieutenant. And then, again, under certain circumstances, the officers' pay has- aotually been reduced, that is, In cases of leaves of abaenoe; the Government has always granted leaves of absenca when practicable, hut only lately has it taxed that privi lege, with the loss of half-pay and emoluments. Here, again, is a discrimination against the officer, for the enlisted man gets full pay while on furlough. There are now within my own personal knowledge - many officers in this Department who could get leave of absence if they asked for it, by reason of their long service in the field, and who have not seen their families for nearly three years, but who do not ask beoauie they cannot afford to lose half their pay by going, but are waiting anxiously and longingly for their time to expire, when they can honorably leave the service. There is not a competent line officer in the service this day but who could have made more money out of the service than he is getting m it, and many, I am sorry to have to say, are leaving it for that reason. Some time since, when in Louisville, I met an old friend who was on $ business tour; he asked me how I liked the service as compared with my old business. I replied that I went into the service as a matter of duty, but that I liked it very much, which I do. He coolly replied, “ But you can’t make so much money as you could in business.'* I was grieved at his unpatriotic words, but repeat them as an argument for mv cause.

On Friday complaint was entered at the Central Station of a swindling transaction, the nature of which may cause the reader to weoder at the super stition as derelooed. The principal points were jotted down for future reference by Mr. J. H. Bulk ley, the veteran official of the station. It seems that an individual of Teutonic origin was robbed in the summer of 1863 of the sum of $3OO. All Ms efforts to obtain any trace of the thief were made in vain. HU grief, however, at losing the sum total of Ms earnings has hauatea him ever alnoa like a spasmodic nightmare. A few daya since he became acquainted with an other German, who, In the eouriD of conversation, wn, made acquainted with the foot of the robbery. He told the loier that the money could be recovered through art, the secret of which he possessed: but of course, a. it was hts profession, he would expect some remuueration for putting his profession into Eractiee. This was assented to by the loser, whose opes were brightened at the prospect of the re covery of the long-lost treasure, turougb the potency of a wondrous man, who was gifted with more than natural power. The “seventh sou of a seventh son’* was a fool in comparison with this very ex traordinaiy representative from the regions ol Ger many. Now, said he, you tshe all the money you have and wrap it in a piece of brown paper, then wrap the paper in a handkerchief and hide ft under a barrel or flour, you must not say a word to any body respecting this or it will break the charm. Then, at the expiration of twenty.four hours, you must go to the barrel of flour, pull out the handker chief from the hiding-place, and you will find, bev aides the money you pat there, the amount stolen from you last summer. This arrangement, con tinued the neoromancer, must only be observed by four human eyes—those of the loser and those of the counsellor. The loser had no bandkerohief, but one was kindly loaned him by his great friend. Thus the charm worked, and it only remained to put the bundle under a barrel of flour to make it complete. The two men started away, and found a convenient bar rel of flour, and beneath it was placed the hand kerchief containing besides the paper the sum of $ll6, as the complainant said, ail in “ereenpaeks.” The twenty-four hours finally rolled on, and made one more mark in the calendar of time that joined them to eternity. The losing Teuton hastened to the barrel of flour. He removed it: there was the handerchief; he picked it up, unfolded it, and in a moment all his brilliant expectations were clouded. His money was gone; he stood there not exactly like Patience on a monument smiling at grief, but like a fool duped, as he was, by the genius of Super* stition. CBefereHr. Alderman Moore. ] Alleged Attempt at Highway Robbtry. On Saturday morning a young man, who submit ted to having his name publicly recorded as Edwin Harris, was arraigned at the Eighth-ward station house, on the charge of attempted highway robbery. The examination developed the foot that wuium Garwood, while standing near Walnut and Dupon ceau street (late Blackberry alley), was knocked down by three men. Police offioers in the vicinity hearing the noise, hastened to the scene, and the ag gressors fled. One of them, at named above, was captured. He was committed, to answer at court. [Before Ur.' Alderman White. 3 More tbe lavy Yard, On Saturday afternoon James W. Blaylock, John C. Morriion, and George Jantlin, all attaches of the navy yard, were arraigned on the oaths of Messrs. W. Graham and J. H. Peterson, charging them with lsroeny. The oounsel for defence was sot present. Mr. Blaylock desired either to waive a heating or have the oase postponed, This was not acceded to, hence the investigation was more than usually ex parte, the defence not having an oppor tunity for a cross-examination conducted by ooua* Bel. The charges preferred against them were pretty much the same as those preliminarily investigated before Recorder Eneu a day or two since, iu which Messrs. Graham, and Peterson were then defendants. The parties were bound over to answer at court. We may state that, so far as Mr. Blaylock is re ferred to, be was sutgect to a court martial on simi lar charges a short time since, whioh ended in his honorable discharge. [Before Hr.

It was subse quently ascertained that they were sold tu-a'person residing in Gloucester county, W. J. - Laoy was iden tified as the individual who made the saler He was committed to answer. ' , House Robbers Arrested. Yesterday afternoon the usually quiet, neighbor hood of Spruce and Twelfth streets was thrown into great excitement, owing to several reports of pistols and the cry of “Stop thlel.” It seems that three young men had feloniously entered a house la the vicinity named. They were observed by some citizens, who supposed them to be thieves, and acted accordingly. An impromptu foot-race was the result. The eltizeni augmented pretty fast, everybody joined in the trial of speed, and finally pistols were discharged at the fugitives. Two of the despollers were arrested; ttse other fellow escaped. The prisoners were, taken to the station bouse by Lieut. Paulin, where they were searched. Seven hundred dollars in gold ana some money of another kind were found upon them- They will have a hearlnrat two o’clock this after noon at the Central Station. The prisoners were recognized as Albert Wise and Charles White, against whom a true bill for felony was found some time since. They were recently in the oustody of the police on the oharge of robbing a store on South Ninth afreet, but there waa not legal evidence enough adduoed to warrant a conviction. THE COURTS. Supreme Court at Nisi Prlua—Judge Wood uard-In Equity. THE CASE OE EOWIAND. B. EVANS AND THB PHIDADEIPHIA CLUB—PEHEMPTOBT MANDAMUS AWARDED. Eowlaad B. Evans vs. The Philadelphia Club. In this case. which was an application for a mandamus to compel the respondents to restore Ur. Brans to his rights as a member of their club* of whleb he alleged he had been illegally deprived by a vote of expulsion, and whieb was argued about two weeks ago. Judge Woodward on Saturday delivered an opinion, awarding the mandamus asked for. After discussing at considerable length the law of the case, a* settled by previous decisions, Judge Woodward condnr ed as follows: ‘ * Gathering now into one group the principles of de cision that lie scattered through the authorities, they may be stated thru: “First. That tbe power of amotion for adequate cause is an lnherentincident of all corporations, whether municipal or private, except, pernaps, each as are lite rary or eleemosynary, bat the exercise of this power does not affect the private rights ol the corporator in the franchise.. ■ ’ Second. That the power of disfranchisement which does destroy the members’ franchise must, in general, be conferred by statue, and is never sustained as an inci> dental power, without statue grant, except in two cases: First, in the conviction or the neater in a court of jus tice of an infamous offence; and* second* where he has committed some act against the society which tends to its destruction or injury. “Third That the power to make by-laws is Incident to corporations, and generally expressly conferred by statue; but by-laws which vest in a majority the power of expulsion for minor offences are in so far void, and courts of justice will not sustain expulsion made under, them. Ik “Fourth. In joint stock companies, oa indeed, In any corporation owning property, ( Angell and Ames on Cor., stc. 4i0,) no power of expulsion can be exercised unless expressly conferred by charier. “With these principles in view. I take up the charter of the Philadelphia Club, and find that it was incorpo rated on the fctn. of May, 1850, under the name of the Philadelphia Association and Beading Boom, After wards changed to that of the PhlladelpnU Club.) with authority to ' elect officers, to establish by.-law* for their loverxment, and to hold real estate, the value of which shall not exceed three thousand dollars;* but there is no Power of either a motion or dtsfianchisoment expressly conferred. They make no pretence to this power by pre scription. “ The by* laws established by the corporations provide tor the election of officers, and the order of proceedings, and fix the * entrance money’ to be paid by resident members at $5O. with a semi-annual subscription of #2O, and for non-resident members of $5O. with a ssml-annau payment of sis. The LXV., LXVI., and'LXVXf. By laws enact that if the conduct of a member be disorder ly or injurious to the interests of the club, or contrary to its by-laws. * he shall be requested to resign, and if the request be disregarded the Hoard shall refer the matter to the next stated meeting of the club, and *at inch meeting the olrenmstances of the case shall be consider ed. and the member .may be expelled. * • * The relator became a member of the club iu 1818, and it is lot alleged that he has failed to pay hisdaes or perform any of his duties to the club; but the return alleges that, on ' the evening of the 24th of February, 1863. the defendant was guilty of breaking the sixty-fifth, by-law, by having an altercation within the walla of the club-house with Samuel B. Thomas, and by striking him a blow.’ FqaAhis he was expelled. • ■ “How, unWubtediy, such conduct was disorderly, for though the objects mad purposes of the society are not set forth in the charter, it is stated to be a club for the cultivation of social relations, and these are friendly and kind relations, and are not promoted by such con duct &b is impateu to the relator. But does a single Instance of disorderly conduct justify disfranchisement ? It is not alleged that the relator Is & quarrelsome person or habitually disorderly. , „ * On the contrary, It was admitted in argument that he is a respectable gentleman; and it is shown that When the offence occurred he was sitting iu tbe bar-room of the club-house, in quiet and friendly conversation with another person, when Thomas entered and uttered defamatory words, which the relator understood to be applied to himself. It WAB therefore an assault upon Thomas by hitoseirprovoked. . % It was not an interruption of any deliberations or proceedings of the club In a state of organization. It occurred not In a reading room or an eating-room, nor at a card or billiard-table, but in what is called the office or bar room of the bouse. ‘I look upon tbe occurrence as disorderly and injuri ous to tbe Interest of the club, within the meanlnc of the Bath by-law. but ii one of those "minor offences’ of which Mr. Willcock sp?aks, and Jor which a majority have no power, even under the by-laws, to disfranchise a member. And upon the doctrine of the cases I have referred to, I hold the by-law void so far as it indictee this extreme penalty for such an offence. w x would ce very sor/y to say that anything short of a statute could confer on the majority of jtne members of ssy corporation power to expel a fellow-member for merely disorderly conduct. Talking or whispering i» a reading-room, or wandering from the question iu de bate. or interrupting another when he is speaking, and very many mere breaehes of good manners ire disorder ly and injurious to inch a club, and fit to be visited by reprimands and fiueß. but are not such offences against corporate duty as forfeit the franchise. thie nohappy occurrence be viewed through 15/JP„ MI) A 8r & of wsafon and prejudice that shall distort its proportions, it must he regarded as be longing to the class of minor offences not punishable by expulsion. The relator’s offence was not directly against the society, bnt against his fellow-member, as in Barle’s esse ana in Blnn s case. The law affords no precedent for punishing an offence between fellow-members by dla franchuement- lam unwilling to make so bad a prece dent ox mis cate. *' Bnt what is conclusive of this case Is that the corpo ration possesses property, real and personal, and is at kiibexty to accumulate more until an annual revenue of I three thousand dollars comet to be enjoyed, and the re [ Jatorhas purchased and paid forthe rignt to participate i in that franchise It 1b not a joint stock company at present jor under Its by-laws no pecuniary profits are j divisible among the members, but it may become so; and whether it does or not, tbe relator has a vested into i in its estate, and cannot be deprived ol it by the ] pr< ceedingß that were hid against him. On this point ! rt»e authorities are clear and without conflict, nothing i 5, ut express provision in the charter can authorize a i ! to throw overboard <.na of Its mem i iSSiA I/ET*»? h6w “ thft A th £ att of incorporation coa ! fai-nl/S.® 11 ®.* 1 n°wer.
