If the Secretary continues in this way, putting
impairment questions to officers because the news
papers may think proper to publish reports about
them, he will soon surpass his famous prede cessor,
secretary Branch, q

dan, Gc Il wonder
full talent for naval affairs nstanced in the famous
Jackasscal CORES dependence and other matters, will
soon place the Secretary in the highest niche Of naval
fame as he has long since been in literary reputa-
ton. But to the point.
The editor of the Globe adverts to the disgrace
which must be entaed upon officer who should
be guilty Of accepting foreign commission while
holding one in the land of his birth, the constitution
Of which he has sworn to support-forgetting that
these officers whom he stigmatized few months
since, " skulkers," cat purses" "cobblers and
tinkers,' government blood suckers" sc. &C.
but who now are gallant young officers" by its
own ertion, at liberty 10 resign their commits
sons or warrants at any time they please. But this
same soi-disant protector Of the interests of the
country, endeavors to apologize for the unprece-
denied delay by the Navy Department in ordering
the examination of the Midshipmen Of the date Of
1893, and offers the apology the expected return
OF three Midshpmen Of the date in the North Caro-
lina the Secretary in his wisdom having been expec-
ting her these three months whereas, had he read
the Herald, he must have known she could not pos
sibly have been home before the 10th and 18th OF
July-and while there are but three abroad on SER
vice this year, in all previous years there have been
10 to ID always fore stations, who were entitled
to their examination-and il has ever been rule If
the Department to give them their back date as
passed Midshpmen, and pay when they did return
and pass.
while upon this subject, we will also inform the
editor Of the Globe and the Secretary Of the Navy,
that it is also regulation Of the Department, that
ssMdshipmen who have been five years in the Navy,
and three years Of that time in active service at sea,
are entitled to their examination
Bat what is the fact Most Of them upwards
Of six years and a half and whyl The examinations
originally commenced in November, but have been
delayed longer and longer every year, until have
arrived at the month of June, and this year, even
now we have only the assertion Of the Globe that il
is the intention OF the Department soon to give an
examination.
We do know that this course Of the Secretary has
given great dis through all grades Of the
Navy,-and the Secretary will yet learn, that If he
expects good faith from the officers towards the De-
partment he be the frat to open the breach,
bat on the contrary, should at least Of
the many of his predecessor. IL he does not,
hundreds will leave the navy and join the Texian.
