tn find that sailors are actuated by the same mo-
Co. tho, prompi other men--and that they can be
governed and controlled without the lnillctlon OF

has fairly tested the new law-has ruled his
men IN street compliance with It's PROVISIONS anu

con,en,ed and more active than he ever before com
handed He has abolished both fogging ana the
spr, raons and hestaes not to say that has pro-
cuced one of the most sautary reforms that he mas
ever witnessed.
We know not what IS the object OF addressing
circulars to the different cOmmahders-but as there
are many officers who are opposed TO the new law,
We presume that 1t is the foferunner OF an ehort 10

be wa,chfu and active. There certainly must be
much such testimony that gwen by Commander
Mcintosh and 1t should be gathered together so that
