TURKISH SAlLoRs.-The London Times,
in referring to the disaster at Sinope,
says
% The Turks were afraid to face either
the weather or the enemy. Though re-
peatedly warned of their danger, and
shown the means of escape, they stupidity
remained in the Sinope trap, and though
many of the men appear to have fought
desperately and bravely, four out of the
eleven captains, and perhaps more, es-
capped. Formerly, there were many Greek
sailors in the Turkish feet, and the
Greeks have q natural aptitude for the
sea but now they are all Turks, and on
a recent cruise in the Black Sea, it is said
that 400 men were PROSTATE with sea
sickness in one ship"

and combatted the arguments of the Abolition

rity. The Supreme Court has decided that the
title of a STAKEHOLDER in his slaves was as legal
and as complete as it would be in any other
description of property. Where had Congress
the power given to it to restrain or prohibit q
man carrying his property into the territories
of the United States? He then examined the
subject of slavery, denying it was an evil or

preferable.

explain all the points he makes:
'The Bill proposes for the better condition
OF the Navy-irst, that II cOmmodores must be
made then 90 captains, 20 commanders, 40
lieutenant commanders, $50 lieutenants. 100
mastcrs;- captains and commanders. and 81
iieutenants to be retired. The pay proposed
Tor these grades stands thus: Leave nav for
commodores So, 200; sea pay 1880; other duty
pay 1000 Leave pay for captains 2,4OO; sea
pay $500; other duty pay 5000 Leave pay
for commanders 1880; sea pay $500; other
duty pay $3.50. Leave pay Of lieutenant COM
handing 1000; sea pay 1880; other duty paw
1875. Leave pay for licutenants 1,OO0 sea
pay 1900; other duty pay 1880. Masters on
leave pay 600; sea pay 900; other duty pay
$50. The most striking, and, indeed, almost
the only strong feature of the whole bill, is
the increase of pay it proposes for the four first
grades. and the reduction of the two last
Whether it is intended as reward for their
promotion or extraordinary services, we know
not. 1t makes an increase exceeding their
present pay for c0mmodOres, when on leave
800; at sea $685. on other duty 800; captains,
an increase of 800; commanders $50; lieutenant
commanding 1925. The above amounts are
the increase of the sum total of leave pay
other duty pay, and sea pay, as proposed, over
the sum total of the same as now established
For the two grades below these, the pay pro-
posed for lieutenant is $500 less than his
present pay, when on leave, and 250 less when
on other duty masters on leave $50 less, and at
sea 100 less; on other duty $50 less than the
present pay! Now, ask, why this invidious
distinction Of pay, which fails 80 heavily upon
the younger officer? Is it that the promotion
entitlesithe older officer to an increased pay,
and, in consequence of his promotion, the
junior must have his reduced This would
seem to be the argument. VIII any member
of Congress, or gentleman in Washington, say
that he can live here, or elsewhere, on $500,
and support his faInil or an aged mother, or
himself singly2f1 address, this question to
members of Congress, because it is finally to be
submitted to them to adjust, and, in their action
on it, we hope TO see rewards and benefits be-
slowed with some show of generosity, For
charity sake, leave the younger officers few
of the crumbs in this bountiful provision of
the loaves I doubt if there is one officer of
those grades which the bill contempiates to
promote, were he consulted in regard to this
