We regret to see ii stated in the Army and Ma
Wy Chronicle that the Navy Department finds it,
self compelled by law to Withhold the hard earn.
ings due the officers and crew OF the United States
schooner Grampus, on the last returns received
from that ill-fated vessel, lest between that time
and her loss they might have drawn their pay, and
thus double payment should he made. The De-
partmeni has received letters of the most touching
character from their distressed families and such
indeed is the needy condition in which some of
them have been left, that they have already offer
ed their CLAIMS no A PENSION for what they would
bring. In this too they have been baffled the
pension fund has been wasted, and money lenders
will make no advances on any such claims.
The officers of the Navy have it in contempla-
ton TO rise fund among themselves for the bene-
fit of the widows and orphans both of the officers
and seamen of the Grampus. This is praise
worthy movement, and we hail it with delight.
But, as the Chronicle properly remarks, when we
consider the number OF persons to be relieved
and the small number of Navy officers who can
render them aid, ii becomes clearly manifest that
something else must be done.
The editor of that journal suggests that much
might be effected by the merchants of our large
seaports, "whose special interests the Gramp1s
went down seeking to promote" We deem the
suggestion a good one. The appeal thus made
to the citizens of Baltimore in Behalf of the suf-
ferers, will, we trust, induce "a liberal subscrip-
ton for their relief, Monies for this object NAV
De handed over either to the Secretary of the
Navy or the Purser of this Station.-BuN hin,
