Discipline OF the Navy.

To the Editor Of the Union!
Sra: Much has been said of late, in way Of boast by
letter writers and would-be philanthropsts, the sub
ect OF the adjustment OF all law in the navy which re
lated TO its order, efficiency, and discipline.
To give the public idea of the state OF things

in your wide-circulains paper the enclosed extract Of
letter from board the United States ship Plymouth,
Rio Janero, November 2. and contained in the New

/" am sorry to say that the discipline OF the service
has had most shock by the sudden adjustment

crepancy in the punishment OF frauds and corruption the
public mind is left 10 the conjecture that the law max
must have regarded these maritime merchants being
too pure TO be suspected OF being capable OF committing
such frauds aud il they thus pure and unspotted OF
crime, Secretary Corwn certainly perpetrated gross
Islander upon them BY charging them with practising
those supendous frauds upon the treasury by OF
false or fraudulent bills or invoices.
The recommendation OF the President and Secretary to
check those frauds upon the treasury equally extrao

There is probably no danger OF the treasury sustaining

To be more specific: it might be proposed that Con-

convenient to adopt, who should have supervisory
power over the consus of several contiguous States to
form conventional arrangements OF trade with such ma
tons allotted him, under such restrictions Congress

any arrangement, it should be forwarded to the proper
officers OF the home government, and if approved by
them the President be authorized and required to issue
his proclamation establishing such arrangements as the
basis OF trade with such nations. II any nation or ma.
tons refuse enter into such reciprocal conventional
arrangements. upon that fact being reported the President
should be required issue his proclamation declaatory Of

Mr. EDITOR Much has been said respecting the SUI

Collins line and the prediction ventured that when the
rough passages of the lines compared after
Practice and particularly during the winter season, and
bound westward, the result could not be doubtfuland
that the victory in consequence OF the superiority OF

some experience, Jet us examine and how the case
stands, and how wide the predictions from the truth

proof that the American line has sustained ITSELF and in
every instance achieved victory. In eight successive
