DovE-TAILING.

The richest specimen Says the Arkansas True Demo
crat) we have of political dovetaiing Is that
executed by the aboonists and the northern and south
err knownothngs in their baotngs for Speaker. They
doveail into another singularly well. The abolition
lists and northern know nothngs vote for Banks the abo
iitonist Mr. Pennington also votes for Dir. Banks Mr.
Fuller votes for Mr.. Pennington and the southern know
nohings vote for Mr. Fuller Thus they dove-ail beau
tifully-Banks dove-tas into the aboliaonsts
ton dovetails in BanksFuller dovesils in Pennington
and The southern know-nothngs dove-tai in Fuller.
As specimen Of the art Of dove failing this is all very
pretty. But submit it is too compicated-it Is going
far around to do easy thing. Let southern know
nothings doveta at once into Mr. Banks and elect him
Speaker of the House and the thing done Let them do
ta and the country win think the lcss Of the south
en- know-nohings This roundabout doye-tailng bush
uess is only whipping the devil around the stump"

SPEECH OF SENATOR THOMSON, OF NEW JER-
SEY, OF THE NAVY REFORM.

SEl, or THE NAV \ hEf OltM
We print to-day the remarks made in the Senate several
days ago by Mr.. Thomson of New Jersey the navy
reform act and the proceedings Of the naval board in
ecuon of that pcrusal of the speech will impress
upon the mind the fact that Mr. Thomson has devoted TO
the subject much thought and investigation Having al
ways taken deep interest in the prosperity Of our navy
and hayng borne leading part in the effort made by the
last Congress to proate Ito efficiency BY providing -
bunal for the correction of abuses he has Witnessed with
unaffected concern the disposition TO excite against the
law of the last Congress popular feeling which looks to
its repeal His views, both to the law and the action
of the board expressed with great cearne concise
ness fraakpess and force We know that Mr.. Thorn
remarks have made DECIDED impression in check
ing the hasty conclusions 10 which maay were being
led by their sympa,hies for individuals whose cases
have been widely appealed to in condemnation Of the law
qud Of the board. Whilst Mr.. Thomson does not claim
for the law perfection NOR for the board infallby he
shows that the crusade waged against both likely
to nure than to benefit the public service lie eoupses
wise moderation and enorces his suggestions which
eminenty practical by arguments and that prove
his patriotic devotion to this important of nation
al strength But to appreciate his sentiments his remarks
must ba read and we earnestly commend them to at
tentiye perusaI.
