FLOATING DOCK AT PENSACOLA.

Some of The Southern papers have COM
planned that the Secretary of the Navy has de-
ayed too long the execution of the act of Con
gress-on this subject. The reason of the de-
lay is this: various rival plans of floating docks
were presented TO him, among which il was
difficult TO make a selection without personal
examination of them when in actual OF Grafton.
lie was much impouuned by the proprietors Of
the principal docks TO make such examination,
and he determined 10 do so during his absence
at the North on visit of inspection to the sew
eral navy yards. II is known that, in conse-
quence of the death of Mr.. Legare, he was
called back TO Washington, and could not carry
out this purpose. Not being willing TO delay
his action any longer, he satisfied himself that a
selection should be made between two OF the
proposed plans, and he Immediately wrote 10
the proprietors Of them 10 offer their proposals.
They are now in this city, with that view, SO
that The work will be prosecuted without further
delay. g,

EVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS.

Dear Sir: When | entered the room at Concert
Hail. on the morning Of the l7th where the members
Of the Society of the Cincinnati were to assemble
for the purpose OF joining the procession, ! found
several old soldiers Of the revolution who had come
there, by mistake, instead Of going to the State
House but information of their situation having been
given 10 the marshas, carriages were sent for them
and they enabled TO JOIN the procession Il few
moments before ii moved
While in conversation with one of the members Of
the society surprised to hear the notes OF fife
in the room and turning the direction from whence
they proceeded, discovered aged man, seated
among the old soldiers, who performing on that
instrument | Immediately went and took a seat be-
side him and listened, until he had concluded playing
Uashingtons March, when the following conversation
| ensued.
Were you a fler in the Revolutionary army Il

and remarkably well. lie had grandson with him,
who appeared TO be ten or twelve years Old and who
had accompanied his grandfather apparently to take
of HIM, as the veteran was feeble, and SO deal

How remarkable, that after the lapse of time
which had interviewed, since the close OF the Reyo-
luton, there should be heard, in the Society of the
Cincinnati on the 6Sth anniversary of the Battle Of
Bunker Hill, hier of Washingon's army playing
the march OF that lustrious patriot and the spirit

THE EDITOR OF THE GLOBE AT THE CON
FESSIONAI.

Blair the editor of the Globe, is al last UNI
kennelled. The proofs Of his agency in effect
ing the coalition BETS cen Henry Clay aud John
Quincy Adams in 1925 were so conclusive, thai
even his hardhood C uld not withstand them
For the first time in his life he has confessed
his misconduct. He says: "A personal friend,
as well as connected by marriage we felt deep
y soLcious for Mr.. Clay's ascendeney wlIh BIZ.
party" ana therefore intrigued TO induce the
Kentucky delegation 10 violate the instructions
OF the Legislature! The political rea,oa for his
course, he gives il a lett he wrote, as he says,
at the time, 10 Mr.. White, Representative in
Cong ess. He supposed ''Ihe tendency OF
General Jackson's measures, as Presidents would
be TO supplant Mr. Clay, by promoting the views
OF Adams" and he would rather have him
(Adams) now at the expense of Jackson, than
hereafter at the expense of Clay y Was ever
such reason given for promoting the election
of candidate for the esdcncy, whose prin-
ciples he doubted, aud TO whose views he was
OF posed He would elect him then. in 1925
rather than incur the hazard Of his election al a
sub equent periodic would promote posi-
tive evil and render his bes, forts to ain il,
to avoid the contingency of The me evil four
or eight years thereafter Admirable logic

As TO General Jackson, BAR did not know him I;
SO he says. The qualities he had developed, and
the principles he ha exhibited during the war
were unknown to the simple Mr.. Blair; and
therefore Mr.. Adams was TO be elevated TO the
Presidency at the expense of the cid Hero =

we hope he will be willing to give tie public all
the details Of the negotiation, the protocols, the
demands, and the Withdrawals, Of the High Con-

task as Mr.. Blair. 1t will be interesting and in
