A further Sketch Of Pyoceediaes.l
Mr. JOHNSON, Of Virginia, rose for the
purpose of submitting 10 the House a
proposition for amending the act of 1900.
establishing rules for the government Of
the Navy. He begged leave to premise
that he was a friend TO the Navy; that he
considered il a most important portion of
the military defence of the couniry-and
an establishment which, Of size and
force proporiloned to 'onr resources, and
under wholesome and Just regulations, he
believed, would always be found of the
most essential service, as well in defen-
sive az In offensive operations. Rnt, his
attention having been called by recent
circumstances TO the act TO which he had
referred, he was, ON mature deliberaiion,
fully convinced, that the act ought TO be
amended. lie had seen, helsald. dis
tnctlon made by the provisions of that
act between the superior and inferior of
ticers of the Navy, which, in his opinion.
would disgrace The most despotic govern
ment in the world. lie asked, if the su-
perior officers of The Army and Navy had
not sufficient distinction over the inferior
officers III the ilonOrS, and in the emOlu-
menis OF their station, and in the rewards
and gratitude of the publIcs When, for
gettnl OF seli-respect and Of their duty 10
the public, thew should commit crimes.
why should d distinction still be made
between them and their interiors? In this
country, he understood, that all men.
committing crimes, equally violate the
laws, and ought therefore 10 stand Oh the
same footing. The only difference be-
| tween them should be ibis that stronger
testimony would, in The opinion Of The
Jury, be requred TO convict mau oi a
fair, high and honorable character, than
one OF a different description. VIII YOU,
said Mr.. J. make The distinction that one
officer shall be punished bv death Tor an
| offence which, lnanoifer is punishable by
a simple reprimand Look at the law for
tlie government of The Navy. You will
tInd that the inferior who commits an as
sault OF superior officer, forfeits his life !
Why punish him more severely than for a
like offence YOU would any other citizen
Of the Uniteu States? II any other citi-
zen commits an assault, even on this Of
fleet, what is his punishment lit lie
within state, he is liable TO an iudici.
meut, and TO iine and Imprisonment. light
~ proportion 10 the ligltness OF his Of
| fence; ne Is also liable 10 an action for
damages by the party injured. where the
damages gwen are proportioned TO the in
Jury received. Why should solmportant
a distinction in this respect be made be-
tween officers and citizens? As this law
bad been passed many years ago, and as
| perhaps The attention of many member.
had not been particularly directed TO H.
MIR. J. read, for their information the fol-
! lowing clauses of Il.
