THE TEXAN NAVAL OFFICERS OPP
position has been manifested through portion of
the public press, to the proposed admission OF the
naval officers of Texas into our navy, with the
same rank they have held in their own. 1t is said
to be unjust, that young men, many OF whom lett
the American flag to seek adventure and rank in
another land should be elevated over the heads
of their former commanders. The attack is parti-
cularly levelled at Commodore Moore, gallant
officer, whose enterprising conduct, and rapid at
tainment of rank, seem TO excite the jealousy OF
men, perhaps, OF inferior worth.
Now we contend that merit should be the only means
of advancement, and that it is false principle Of
promotion, calculated to lessen the efficiency Of the
navy, which regulates rank by age alone But, pass
ing by this proposition one on which there may
be some difference OF opinion, we assert that the
Texan Commodore is entitled to equal rank In our
navy, by the very spirit of the treaty OF annexation
by every principle of national equity, and every
consideration of national honor. We profess to
receive Texas into Union footing OF perfect
equality with the sister States How, then, il
may be asked, can we consistently refuse to
maintain the rights of her sons? How can we
deprive them of that rank which they have won
by their enterprise and vaor, ana which has been
tacity, il not expressly, guaranteed to them by that
government whose political responsibilities we have
voluntarily assumed We havereceived the Texan
ships-a Texan sloop Of war is now United
States sloop of war-why them d ftioyi, should not
a Texan commodore be United States commo-
dore! We can see no reason why the men who
have risked their lives to maintain the liberties OF
county, which, by the policy OF annexation we
have admitted to be of immense value to us, should
be degraded from their weLearned rank, to appease
an inconslderate and unfounded jealousy
We have too firm a reliance on the justice and
fairness OF our government, to suppose that they
wil or lcan entertain SO ungenerous purpose,
despite the clamors Of the envous few; and we
venture TO say, that no brave man in the American
navy, will permit his feelings to be jaundiced
against his Texan brethren.

MUNICIPAL REFoRM.-We observe that one OF
the principal objections raised against Alderman
Harris bill for the amended charter of our city, is
that OF property representation, applied TO the
three lower wards.
1t is said that the duties Of aldermen IN these
wards are far more arduous than those of other
wards composing the upper portions OF the city
In the still and quiet hour of night is but seldom
that the official aid Of an alderman is requisite;
while in the business hours Of the day the population
OF the upper wards form the most active part Of the
moving population down town. Beside this, there
Is an increased degree Of vigilance necessary upon
the part of our city officials in the neighborhood Of
the wharves and piers, our ferries and our steam
boat landings, than is demanded in the less excit-
able and more orderly part OF the population resident
any where above Canal street.
This is simple statement in relation to that part
OF Alderman Harris bill SO generally complained

OF private letters to be very contradictory. Some
small sales of Genesee -four were made at $5 25.

price at present Nothing, howev er, has yet trans
pred on which to predicate an opinion as to what

Governor Ford. of Illinois, has issued another
proclamation in relation to the H ,ncock county

way) is founded on letters from individuals at Nau-
VOC, detailing incidents following the expulsion Of
the Mormons from that fated city. The follow
ing will give an idea Of the state OF affairs there's
1t is known, that when the Anti-Mormons, late.
ly expelled The Mormons and Jack Mormons. they
left hundred men at Nauvoa to keep them away.
These hundred are among the most desperate Of
the party; men who have no homes, nor any way
10 live except upon the Ilundefof the city; the
better part Of the Anti Mormons having returned
TO their homes. This gang is under command Of
a blackguard named McCulla, and he has divided
il into two or three parts, one portion serving few
days and then TO be relieved by others. Each gang
when relieved, retires from Nauvoo with as much
plunder as they can carry, taken from the houses
Of the Jack Mormons. who have been driven off
Besides this, the Anti.Mormons themselves. have
got into quarrel. andihe violent Antics are now
engaged in driving off. lynching, and ducking in
