REMARKS OF MIs. PEsOFFIT
ON THE NAVY BILL.
Mr.. Profit SAID he was surprised that any debate
should arise upon the bill under consideration after
the explanation gwen by the chairman of the Com
nlttee on Nava Affairs, (Mr. Wise. The question
was ms The Administration, through the proper
channels, the Secretary Of the Navy 1t was enough
Tor hun to know that 1t was demanded as necessary;
and the explanations given, proved II to be So and,
had much larger amount been required, he (Nr P)
would have voted for it. The gentleman from North
Caro- ina (Mr. Nc Kay moved to reduce the amount
aud proposes to expend the be granted in scat
terlng appropriations during the next five years.
1hs WIS called economy, and the party IN power are
every moment called upon 10 red Gem their promises
OF relrechnen, and ale taunngly asked il this is the
glorious reform which was promised during the last
canvass of the Presidency.
Mr.. 7. said gentlemen did not or would not under
stand the ground occupied The Administration party
why one oil the pledges which W., as party, made
was that we would expend more mOneyo certain OBJ
jccts than dd our opponents. We complained that for
eIectloneerng purposes, the party just elected from
power by the People, had suffered our gallant Navy
to become almost byword. That they in powerhad
neglected the interests Of the Nation by allowing our
ships fwar to rot, 10 sink into state ofdapidation
that by their neglect we had scarcely ship itor sea-
that our delences were mockery and that scarcely
iortlicnton on coast could be defended against
the attack OF most contemplate force that we had
no preparation IN the shape ofordnance or munitions
OF war. We as party, promised 10 correct these a.
buses ana to place the country in situation beconl-
inc II as great nati0n And how do we do this? go
