Mr. DEAN, in the of the debate said that yes
terday the gentleman from North Carolina MR. sTANLY
alluded TO the report of his remarks in the Inteigencer
Of yesterday morning He could only say mat the gem
eman entirely mistaken in relation to what he MIR
said the day before if he supposed that he made any
such charge or any such auson to the late Secretary
the Navy that which he referred What he did saw
in relation TO the late Secretary Of the Navy was that
der his management abuses existed in the navy and ba
alluded to the fact Of nearly FIVE hundred thousand dol
lars being paid this year for officers waiting orders lie
further stated that during the first year Of hi. admins
raton the expenses Of the navy increased three millions
OF dollars Now he must say that for this reason he
in favor Of retrenchment The National Integencer re-
ported him saying that he believed navy under
its present management especially under the manage
ment of the late Secretary had been Of the
sources Of abuses in the Government The reports in
the lntelhgencer far he had them ordinarily
were correcmore correct than any he had in an
abbreviated form but in this instance they had made
mistake by inserting words which he did use or in
tend TO All he intended say was that under the
conduct Of the late Secretary Of the Navy the expenses
that Department had increased enormously and being
time of peace, he could see no reason for IT,
The language used by Mr. DEAN given in the official
report Of the debate, is as follows: 81 believe our
navy under its present management under the ma
nagement Of the late Secretary has been Of the great
est sources Of abuse in the Government
