From these it did appear that be official compile
ment in the British Navy was more than in the
American but what them How vas it possible to
prescribe absolutely the number of men by assigning
so many to particular class of shils. Ships of the
same class differed greatly in the model and tonnage
and vessels of the same model and tonnage were Of
differently masted and spared, as gentlemen
might see from the case of the Missouri and Misss-
sppi lying in the river here full view of the House
and vessels of the rate dass differed greatly
in weight of broadside. All thes facts showed that
it impossible to graduate absolutely, by any UNI
changeable scale, the number of men to be put on
board Of ship at given rate he then alluded to
the success of the American Nary during the last
war, and stated that from 1914 to 1912, the English
Naval writers, from James, the nsanest of the whole,
up to the Edinburgh Review, had been devsing. all
sorts of excuses for the defeats they encountered at
our hands. Among the rest was the allegation that
we employed more men in each ship. so, it prov
ed we were right. 1t ought not to be question how
few we can get on with, but how many we could be-
ne6cially employ' Even if it we're question OF
economy that would be the trues economy which
constituted the best means of gaining victories.

This was conclusive to show that there was no
abuse, in this respect, in the American Navy.
And in the British Navy there are many employ
ments for the officers The gentleman from Geor-
gia (Mr Gamble) had alluded, the other day, to the
British mail steamers. He MIR. c.. said that on ex-
animation of the British mail steamer Dee, friend
of his, member of the House, assured him that she
had an armament of guns below her deck for ballast
capable of being handled in few minutes so as to
make complete vessel of war. In addition to this,
Mr.. G.. would ask who commanded those steamers
1t was perfectly notorious that they differed by
Lieutenants and Midshipmen of the British Navy.
Mr. C. also read from the Parliamentary estimates
before him the fact that for the year, Che held them
in his handy there appropriation of FL, 26 900
for the mail steam packets, proving that they were,
in part, an enterprise of the Government.
The gentleman from North Carolina, in arguing the
alleged excess of in our Navy; referred to the
case of the British ship Ho,0e three DECKER as hav-
ing complement of but 900 men, whilst in our SER
vice, says Mr.. Mckay, such ship has complement
of ], 200 men.
How many three deckers were there in the Amer-
can Navy One might suppose, from the remark Of
the gentleman from North Carolina that our service
consists of nothing but three deckels whilst in point
of fact, we have but one--the Pennsylvania; all the
rest of our line of bstle-shps being only two-deckers
and yet the gentleman put forward solitary fact, in
such way as to lead the House to imagine it was
general fact and the gentleman was in to the
total war complement Of the Pennsylvania, which, by
the present regulations was but 100 men, And what
was the Howe which the gentleman takes his ex-
ample = Mr.. c. had looked into the United Service
Journal, and found that at the time mentioned by MIR.

been reduced from frlgale, and to the Cuiracean
mounting "a guns only in the British Navy And
though the Independence carried fifty odd guns yet he
doubted whether she was superior ship some fri
gates in our Navy. Mr.. c. had heard it said that
the rgate Congress was full match for the Indepen-
dence
MIR. KCKAY inquired of Mr.. C. whether in the
official lists of the rates of different vessels there was
no difference recognized between razee and fri
gate2
Mr. CUSHING seemed to admit this but reminded
Mr. Mex. that in our Navy there vessels of all
sorts and Sizes and there which fri
gates, and others which only sloops.
But the real question had not much to do with
the technical rate of the vessel employed by Mr. Bad
ger as with the expense involved 1t was true that
the Independence rated higher than frigate of the
first class, and carried men. She had 600
on board of her, while frigate of the highest
class carried but 480. The answer to this to be
found in the then situation of the Navy, and the YES
sells at Mr.. Badgers disposal. He had but three
disposable, viz. the Independence, the United
States, and the Columbia; and the Columbia was
undergoing repairs. So that fact he had to choose
between the Independence and the United States
Commodore Jones had been promised the Indepen-
dence which he preferred, being the larger shin
but be going to the Pacific it was found thai
the Independence not in sufficiently sound con-
d,on to bear such distant voyage though she nigh,
answer very well to cruise a home station, where
she could readily into port for repairs The Uni.
ted States was perfectly sound and strong vessel
fully equipped, in all respects, for any service in any
sea- and therefore she preferred to be TO the
Pacific, and the Independence was placed upon the
home squadron This was the only reason for the
arrangement of which the gentleman complained;
and oil things considered, il was an arrangement Of
