HDr It is not our intention to publish full re-
ports of the proceedings of Congress; but we
devote much Of our available space to the
speeches which were delivered in the Capitol
yesterday, when the death of the late Vice
President was announced. We feel, therefore,
assured, that our readers will excuse the want
of variety in our editorial columns.
The leading points of the Presidents mes
sage have not been fully discussed by us; yet
the various reports which it refers to are SO
essential to full and complete understanding
of its merits, that we wish to examine them
and lay them before our readers as speedily as
possible. With that view we present to-day
the Report of the Secretary of the Navy.

Department there is a degree Of labor, burden
some and embarrassing to the Secretary of the
Navy, and severely distracting his attention
from important business which might, with
great propriety and advantage, be otherwise
distributed. The establishment of a Bureau OF
Personnel would merely add to the expenses Of
the government the difference between the pre-
sent pay Of an officer and what Congress might
deem proper salary for one discharging the
duties of such bureau. No additional clerks
will be needed. 1t is hardly possible that a
Secretary of the Navy can be sufficiently fami-
liar with the character, fitness, and service of
the officers of the several grades, to enable him
to detail them satisfactorily for duty. If the
head of such bureau should bear the same
relation to the Navy Department that the ad-
jutant general does to the War, it would, in my
opinion, contribute much to perfecting the or
ganization of this department.
I" have thus, sir, taken the liberty to pre-
sent for consideration many changes which, in
my opinion, will promote organization, disci-
pline, and economy. There are practical re-
forms connected with this branch of the public
service which need not be obtruded on your at
tention in this report, but which every effort
will be made to effect"
We have but one suggestion to make in con-
nexion with this subject 1t is that Judge
Advocate is as much needed in the navy as in
the army. That Office, we think, should be
created, and an adequate salary provided. Un-
der the present system, any officer, however
onerous his proper duties, is liable, without any
additional compensation, to be called on to per-
form the functions of Judge advocate. Without
a knowledge of law, he is required to perform
the functions Of law officer. Without addi-
tiona pay, he is required to discharge additional
and some very onerous, always very responsible
duties.
The whole subject is one to which we have
devoted much attention, and at some future
time we purpose treating it more in detail.
