COMMODORE McCAULEY AND HIS INsTRUC-
TIoNs-M Much noise is made in certain quarters
about the sealed instructions which were de-
livered to Commodore McCauley before he
sailed. 1t is supposed by some that they were
of highly belligerent character, and amount
ed at least to an order to the Commodore to
sink any Spanish frigate which presumed to
stop an American vessel We do not believe it.
We know what those instructions should have
been. We can tell exactly what the honor of
the country and the safety of cur commerce re-
quired. But we feel confident that any thing
but this would suit the temper of the President.
With Franklin Pierce at the head of affairs and
his present Cabinet around him. . belligerent
or spirited policy cannot under any circum-
stances be looked for. Those who expect to
hear of blow being struck will be disappoint
ed. Those who fear a war with Spain may
make themselves easy. There will be nothing
of the kind-nothing but fourishes for ban
combe.
AT the same time, as it is quite clear thai a
single man Of spirit might at this moment
plunge us into hostilties with Spain, it is quite
proper that we should examine the condition of
the navy. There can be no question but the
Navy Department of the United States is in
the same condition as the British Army Depart
ment; in other words, that it is beyond des:rip-
ton deplorable. The army is better. In fact,
it is well organized was put on a sound foot
ing after the war Of 1872 by John G. Calhoun
while Secretary Of War, and has remained in
decent state Of efficiency ever since. Whence
the successful campaigns in Mexico. If war
were to break out, it would be found servioea-
bic. But, as essuredly, the Navy Department
would be found useless. The ships might do
their duty; but the organization at headquar-
tiers would be found SO absurd and SO inefficient
that the gravest disasters would be inevitable
There would be found to exist the same help
less imbecility in superannuated Chiefs the
same absurd division of authority, the same
blind devotion to routine which, as it appears
ruined the British srmy before sebastopol.
Let Mr. Dobbin look to it.

The RIGHT OF SEARcH-WHAT Is If?-Some
Of our selfconceited old style journals are
learnedly engaged just now in discussing the
right of search at sea, and its limits and dimen-
sions. We think that the exact merits of the
whole question may be put into q nut shell.
The general principle of the right of search, on
land or sea, is practically the same thiog. A
police officer may arrest thief on Broadway,
but such officer must abide by the consequences
if by mistake he arrests and detains an honest
man upon suspicion that he is a thief So
upon the ocean, pirate or filiblster may
be arrested, or brought to, with shot or
q broadside, if he attempts to escape.
But if the cruiser in search Of lawless vessels
mistakes an honest steamer for pirate or
flibuster, and treats it accordingly, the cruiser
and the government to which it belongs are
responsible for the outrage, and may justly be
required to answer for it. The offended party
may send out and seize the offender and bind
him over to keep the peace.
For conclusive exposition of the maritime
right Of search or visit, for they are the same
thing, we would refer our would-be learned but
pettifoaAg contemporaries to the unanswerable
letter Of Mr.. Webster, of March %, 1S43, as
Secretary Of State, to Mr.. Everett, then our
Minister at London. 1t is the American doc.
trine, upon which this country fought the war
of 1872; upon which it refused to enter into
the European quintuple alliance Of later pc.
Rod; upon which was negotiated the Ashbur-
ton treaty, and which was proclaimed, at least
temporarily, as the doctrine of England on the
outbreak of this present Russian war. The
deck Of an American ship is American soil, and
all unlawful trespassers should be treated &C.
cordingly.
