His Honor the Mayor was not cracking his old
jokes at Baltimore after all, at leas, so his organs
say. If he be really at home, we think he should
curb the insolence and indecency Of these organs
1t is really very inconsistent in the head Of party
that claims par ercelenee to be the Bible party'-
be the quintescence of all that is pure and Lowell
and of good report-and who himself bears repu-
table private character for morality and decency,
to permit his organs to pour forth daily long tirades
Of filthy and scurrilous abuse. His Honor the
Mayor must look to this He cannot endow hje
organs with brains or common sense any more
than he can make black nan white but he nigh,
at least try to make them decent and fit to be read

organs should be as filthy as the sheets.

payment OF the salary,op the old principle "no song

STATE PRINTING.

That our readers may see in what light the wings
of the present legislature are viewed, we publish
the following article from the "Tribune and La
borer;" neutral paper Of the city of Columbus,
published by an individual "who has always been
considered whig"
estate PRINTING Party Prof ssion Us.
Practiee-The wings. last winter, were loud in
professions Of economy in public printing, and were
anxious that the printing should be let by contract
to the lowest bidder-turned Medary out, and
passed law for the purpose. The law was pre-
vented from going into operation, by an injunction,
after proposals had been invited By the proposals
which were received and opened, had the work
been given to the lowest bidder, there would have
been saving to the state Of about twenty per cent
These facts were before the present legislature but
the desire of the wings to economise had svapor.
ated during the warmth Of the summers sun-they
could not think of permitting fair competition
for the work, oh mott would be subjecting their
organ to too severe trial. so they permitted their
clerks to give the printing to the Journal Office, at
an average, higher rate, than by law was allowed
" "euHy' "dhiuB so'he ueuuCuohs Oh SOME
parts of the work, on Others allowing an advance.
The Journal of Thursday preteDds to be very con-
scientious on constructive charges, and says they
wont charge for blank pages, by which the state
will save 81 900 on the item of bills-a rather
lengthy eonclusion, with mere poetry than truth.
We have understood that a responsible firm, in
their proposals last summer offered to do the bills
for less than half the price contracted for by the
clerks. The Public printing should be given to
the lowest responsible bidder, with as much pro.
priety as a contract TO furnish paper, or build
bridge, otherwise the party in power might with
the same proprety give all public work to its par
tizans, at any price they chose. leaving the tax
payer to foot the bill. The present action Of the
majority of the legislature has nui6ed all the rea-
sons urged for the removal Of Medary last winter,
and furnishes at least piausble reason for MEDIA
ry to recover damages through the court, or by
democratic legislature, should they obtain ma.

took his mare from the stable, and har-
messed her in his wagon. With tears
in his eyes, he bade the negroes, who
were laughing at him "good bye," and
actually gave old Jake the barometer
which had cost him so much trouble.

its right, and the highest rank and pay
are awarded to the longest life. Yet
the chances are that the oldest are not
the most meritorious. Excellence
seeks the opportunity of displaying its
elf, and is selected for the most perious
and wasting service, while mediocity
fails to be employed, and obtains length
Of days in safe and affiuent retirement.
Promotion by seniority is premium
upon inactivity.
"Many ofthe best among the older
officers received high promotion while
comparativelyin early life. The young
officers of to day are equally full Of tai
ent and ambition; but the present sys-
tenn refuses to them the opportunity to
command while life is in its vigor, and
reserves it for the decline Of their pow
ers. In consequence, the average age
ofcaptains is constantly increasing, and
is already nearly sixty. The average
number of annual promotions is about
two. The average age of commanders
from whom captains are and should be
taken, is not much less than fifty
From their great numbers, the little
sea-service to which they are called is
favorable to longevity. Continue the
present usage twenty years longer and
while hope will be crushed in the
young men in the service, the class OF
commanders will itself be composed Of
none but aged men, and there will not
be a captain under threescore years
and fen.
"This custom discourages the most
worthy, and leads the incapable and
lndolent to cling with tenacity to their
commissions.
"Those that are capabe--and our
service abounds in them--those, and
those only, should be promoted"
He argues against the probable ob-
lection that selection will degenerate
into favoritism; and asserts that where
ever the principle of discrimination has
been carried out, it has been attended
with success.
The number of midshipmen in the
Navy has become so reduced, that new
appoin tments begin to be made, and he
suggests that it would be desirable if a
system Of free competition could be
devised.
An increase of six acting boat
swains, and as many acting gunners in
the Navy, is represented as being need
ful. The apprentice system will soon
be revived in simple form, in the
hope Of better results than heretofore.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY
OF THE NAVY.

This a long report. The Secretary
says the usual Squadrons have been
kept up at the accustomed stations
He recommends that the Naval Asylum
of Philadelphia be never enlarged, but
that a new one be built, commanding a
sea-view, thus giving the pensioners
sold familiar sights"
He condemns, as fruitless expen-
diture, the employment of Professors
and instructors on board ship; and sug-
gests that Midshipmen, in the intervals
OF sea duty, may be collected together
on shore, and be suitably instructed.
The instructors being provided, the
idea was carried out by organizing a
School at fort Severn, at Annapolis,
under the direction of Commander Bu.
chanan.
The balance Of appropriations, with
rigid economy, he believes will pc suffi-
cient for the fiscal year. The esti-
mates for next year contemplate no in
crease in the force employed during
tne present year.
No estimates are presented for the
increase of the Navy--the Department
awaits, in that matter, the instruction
of Congress-but he remarks, that in
comparison with other nations, our own
is poorly supplied with sea, going steam
ers. sI.
The Navy is praised Tor its excel
lency and efficiency, and its able and
skilful officers. He thinks the capable
only should be prompted, and his posi-
ton is illustrated by the following re-
marks:
cage alone now claims precedence;
though that claim is unauthorized by
the constitution, and unsustained by
law. Seniority demands promotion as
