Mr.. BRONSON wHIG.-Our neighbor, the American,
claims Mr. Bronson wing, and wishes him. as s1ch
success his fight against the administration OF course
we could expect nothing else from wings. But what
will the democrats, who have been supporting Bronson
and Cooley, say when they nd their leader thus quietly
transferred to the wing ranks Hear what the American
says "Mr Bronson may not like il; but as the election
will have been decided before testimony can operate
against him, we will cay that he is a wing OF the stamp
OF 7e and 80. and we hope be will triumph over those
who would crush him. We think that his success
would be most valuable TO the wings"
So, then, the American would not ma Ike this slatemep
before The election in New York s the fact if known
might have operated against the ma contents who were
claiming to be democrats par ercsen &C. But now that the
TACT can no longer interfere with the party vote Mr.
Bronson is boldly claimed whig, and his success
desired, because !" it would be most valuable 10 the
wings"
We were well satisfied by the course MIR Bronson had
pursued tina, he was true democrat and we are glad
that the transparent cloak of Hypocrisy with which he
was endeavons 10 veil his opposition the admins,ra
ZION, has been stripped OF BY Of bis own colleagues
and that he now stands before the public in whose
course whggey deeply interested, and whose sue
cess TO inue 10 the benefit OF whggery alone The
democracy OF New York will know where 10 place this
iactous set hereafter. and how appreciate their war
fare agains, the democratic administration

Prospects OF Naval Reform.

A Washington correspondent OF the New York Times
foreshadows some of the recommendations which Sec
rotary Dobbin will make in his first annual report.
they indicate that the Secretary has not only mastered
the difficulties whch'have proved fatal to our steam
val superiority but that lar in him les he deter
mined thorough reform. Ii Is stated that he will urge
upon Congress the necessity OF increase OF steam
sells, and the further necessity il the vessels to be
worth anything when they are built OF some change in
the mode of getting steam machinery for them. The sys-
TEN of letting contracts to the lowest bidder, which has
been the root oil the evil The Secretary has taken the
sponsbliiy TO discard. The contract system is well
enough many respects but IN others IS very dear
and very bad system for the government For instance,

ship But he the " lowest bidder" for the ALLIE
ghany contract and, under the system adopted he
entitled to have it, and he got it, the damage of The
government some two or three hundred thousand dol
lars. or the way the system has worked, the Times
correspondent says
"ni. found impossible to make contracts under tina,
system which cannot be cvaded A bidder looks the
plan and specifications and puts In bis bid. The contract
goes TO sea with it, makes five or six knots hour

The remedy the Secretary will propose to Congress
will be the erection OF government machine-shops IN
doubleday this Is the best If not the only remedy but
the of this depends entirely upon the fact
whether the government shops shall be placed under the

WATER SPoUTs ON THE LAKr.-Thc
Wayne Democrat says, sevcal ri these
phen' mena have recenly been seen upon
Lake Ontario, two OF which were dense,
concal-shaped columns, and 'ormed a
continuous line from the earth to the
clouds. One OF them, the largest. which
was II, arly thirty ieet IN diameter. was
precipltated against the bluffs, and
broke with dealcnng noise upon the
rocks below, causing so great commo.
ton OF the waters, that large quantities
oil lo.s and lumber were torn from their
moorinss and washed far out into the
lake. The smaller OF the two pursued
'the terrific and onward coul &c as far as
The eye could reach, filing the behold
ers with wonder and astonshment, and
awakening such a feeling Of grandeur
and suhlnIity that they stood almost
mute and statue'llke, untIl the sound Of
the gigantic column OF water died Tar
away in the distance. A portion OF the
pier Of the light house was swept away
by the elements and considerable dam
age done to the light house. There was
severe storm out upon the lake, and
several schooners, briggs and other lake
crafts, came scudding IN under bare
poles, seeking security from the tenn.

KrEP YoUNG.-There is no surer
destroyer OF youth and youths privlle-
ges, and powers, and delights than
yielding the spirit to the empire Of i'll
temper and se6shneos We should all
be cautious as we advance in life OF al
lowing occasional sorrowing experience
TO ov.rshadow our perception Of the
preponderance OF good.
Faith IN good is at once its own recti-
tude and reward. So to believe good
and to do good truly and trusliully, Is
the healthiest Of humanty's conditions.
To take events cheeriully and promote
the happiness of others, is the way to
insure the enduring spring of exis-
tence
Content and kindness are the solt
vernal showers and fostering sunny
warmth that keep Il mans nature and

leave gracious memory behlDd US
there is no way better TO secure 1t, than
by living graciously. A cheerful be
nlgn temper. that buds forth pleasant
blossoms, and sweet fruit for those who
live within its influence, is sure to pro-
duce an undying growth Of green re-
membrance that shall flourish imm ortal

About midday, an eagle which was

the figures on the nag-stais for some OF
its own kindred or perhaps, for we don't

how superior real eagle is to lis repre-

perched on the back Of the eagle on one
