MOVEMENT AMONG THE ENGINEERS

he Union OF Friday last, contains the follow
ing apologetical and approbatory article on the
&" Regulations and movement in the NAVY
Department in relation to the steam engineers in
the Navy. We agree with the editor that there
cannot be TOO many precautionary checks intro
duced to insure the employment Of skilful and ex-
perenced scientific men TO manage the steam en-
CINE, but what object to is the manner in
which capable men have been ruhlessy driven
from the public employ by set of er post facto
Regulations, by set of men, who if all or the half
of what is said about them be true, ought them
selves TO be made to ''walk the plank" The
d" Regulations" in themselves, are right and prom
er, to be applied to all future appointments, but
what right had they to be applied, under the $50
fee, to those who had been appointed and received
their warrants under previous Administration.
If those Engineers were unoorthy. or incapable
of performing the duties to which they had been
promoted, why then let them be dismissed for
cause-now they labor under the reproach Of
secret action. of which Mr.. Haswell is the head
manager. The Government suffers unius,lv for
his act. This ought not to be.

would it be, were it practicable, it such scrutiny
conld be applied, as well to engineers in private
employment, as TO those in the service of the
government The experience Of the disasters
which have been sustained. both by individuals
and the public, from the incompetency of engi-
