ADMIRABLE ECONOMY We are informed by
O correspondent that there is much complain
ing at the navy yard in this city, in conse-
quence of little stringent docking practsed
there. 1t appears that on the day of the funeral
of the late Commodore Warrington, orders were
sent from the Navy Department (Mr. Graham
being then absent) that the bell summoning to
labor should not be rung; but when payday
arrived the men were all locked half a day. If
this statement is correct the affair appears to
us to be somewhat ridiculous. Neither Presi-
dents, nor Secretaries, nor Commodores, nor
Clerks are docked when they voluntarily absent
themselves from duty. Our friend, Mr.. Web
ster, for example, remained away from his post
about three months, and then, as q reason for
remaining still longer, made known the fact
that he had some private business to attend to,
flor which he received five thousand dollars y
But when body Of laborious mechanics are By
order Of the Department made to abstain from
labor 10 do honor 10 the memory Of one Of these
Privileged dignitarics, the price of thirty pounds
of -four or eight pounds of butchers meat is
withheld from them Is not this too absurd?
1t may be that no great restitution, no
famine, may ensue but what of that? Is
there not a principle involved, and does not
the fact tend to belitte the administration that
sanctions it? Our word for it, the just and es-
Unable Secretary of the Navy will not need to
think twice before he utters his condemnation Of
such paltry measure.

sengers, and was waiting for more whereupon
those on board first demonstrated, urging Capt
Tinkelpaugh to sail, but he refused again and
again AT last they took possession of the
steamer, put the captain in irons, and ordered
the mate to get up steam for New York, which
he had promised to do when the British steamer
