irregularities.
Capt. Mordecia, of the Gardiner Mexican
Commission, reached here this morning.
Over SO 500 have been collected here for

Mr. Hodge, the Assistant Secretary

Mr.. Guthrie to hit upon some plan to dePlete
the treasury and ease the money market, as
he says, and was greatly surprised to learn
that Mr.. Guthrie would not listen to any pro-
position by which the Sub-Treasury law
might be evaded.

The Navy Departme mt.

The Psnnsylranian of the Oath instant
again assails the present organization of the
Department of the Navy, and srgues that this
arm Of the public service can never be efficient
until the bureau control be abolished We
quote from its remarks:
"We can never hatter ourselves with noble spe-
cimens Of naval architecture and machinery so
long evil counsels prevail, heretofore, in GER
tain bureaus in the Naval Department. Already
has the mercantile marine cast into shade the best
of the miserable abortions of the navy, while for
eign navies have ably maintained their architec-
tural superiority the former. Nor can we
find single failure in own navy where The
naval constructor was left free to pursue his own
plans and models, or where skilful naval en-.
yineers have not been interfered with by those
who are alone qualified to sail and fght ship
And how could 1t be otherwise? Those splendid
achievements in steam engineering, the Cons's
Laws, and Aspn wallis steamers, the crea-
ZION of our naval engineers, assisted by the saga
city, enterprise and liberality OF the projectors of
those lines; and where amongst them can one
point TO iailure' Is it not, therefore, plainly in
erential that the constant and disgraceful fail
ures for the past twenty years are attributable to
the improper interference of the sailing officers
Who have crowded themselves into the bureaus at
washington! Nay, more. We do not hesitate
to declare that if Mr.. Dobbin would place the ma
| val constructors and naval engineers in direct
| communication with himself personally, be would
discover that these ingenious artisans have been
compelled TO surrender their own plans to the tnk-
ering OF their official superiors and that in every
| case the most absurd failures have resulted
| "We repeat the opinion, often expressed by the
| gallant Commodore Stewart, that it were better
at once 10 disband the navy than to sustain it in
its present inefficient condition such an over.
| wheming coat of money and sacrifice Of our ma
! tional reputation in naval architecture. This re-
| mnds us also OF An incident we heard some years
ago, which evinces Stewart's forecast of the de-
| terioration of the navy, and we will relate it, Pre-
sident Jackson having assigned Stewart to duty al
one of the three navy commissioners for a limited
period, and which, having expired the latter called
10 take leave of his old friend, when he was asked
his reasons for retiring from the board. The brave
'Old Ironsdes remarked: Mr.. President, / am nc

and cannot sit at the board to wink at such igno

Anti-Rent outrsses.

In the late case of TRAINER, in which the
difficult questions whether 4 child should be
committed to the custody Of rogue or a pros

The observation might have been extended
If one opens any New York paper the extent
and variety of crime is absolutely appalling.
IL he looks into the provincial papers there
will be seen an imitation of the city crimes
upon the limited scale which circumstances
permit, with a reproduction of fires and bur-
ylaries got up at the shortest notice and in the
most approved style. We do not know that
mankind is worse at this day than heretofore.
Perhaps more extended publicity is given to
which society has raised to keep out flood of
evil. Judges and juries are always busy
nendng the injuries which the treacherous
element is constantly making, whilst law
makers would stop the crevasse by a statute,
,r moralis,s arrest the current with system.
played in the pursuit of wrong-doers. and
he tender maxims Of the common law will
discharge a thousand rogues for fear of hang
ing some honest man by mistake. Still the
)tfender is punished to some extent by the diff
iculties of getting bail, and the professional
penalties inflicted by the attorneys-oue of
whom abuses him like a pickpocket, whilst
mother demands all his money to reinstate
MS character. Many offenders are brought
to justice, and there seems generally a
audable vigilance to prevent and punish.
But there is one crime which we have never
been able to understand. 1t is the ''anti-rent
outrage" Is this offence privileged by pre-
scrption or statute2 Why is it that officers of
the law are insulted and even slain in the exc
cution of those laws which would punish them
for intermitting their dutys We cannot recon
cie the apparent impunity with which one man
may kill another upon the spot because he
asks for "rent," when a highwayman may en-
Joy all the delays of the law though he has ac-
tually taken by violence property to which he
mad no right.
Such a deliberate crime as that committed
4 few days since in Schoharie will be, if like
others of the same class it shall go unpunsh-
ed, hagrant violation Of the political COM
pact, under which the State has covenanted to
bestow protection upon the citizen in return for
his support of the government and obedience
to the law.
We may care comparatively little if crimi-
nails escape through the defects of law, want of
evidence, or even a sensitive fear of illegal
punishment; but when offenders outrage the
law and browbeat public authority, it may be
urged by the enemies of freedom as an argu-
ment against our capacity for selfgovernment.
