Right Hon. the Earl of Carlisle, edited by c. c..

THE NAVAL Rxr1R1Ne BOARD

The authors oftbe Naval Retiring Board

nation caused by the many gross acts ofin.
Justice committed by tina; anomalous body.
The subject has already been introduced in.
to the Senate, and as the House is now or
gaai.ed, the immediate representatives of
the people will doubtless soon thoroughly
Investigate and expose the dark deeds of the
secret tribunal.
We see it has been proposed by some Of
the friends Of the measure and of the Sec
rotary Of the Navy, that the President should
be clothed with a discretionary power TO
rectify any very aggravated instances OF
suffering or wrong-doing But no such pal
liative remedies will reach the evil. The
principle on which the Board was constitu-
ted is entirely wrong Especially, the Sc
cret character of its inquisitions lie utterly
rspugnant TO republican hsbi,s and
doctrines, and the only Nay with which
the evil can be effeetualiy treated 10 10
abolish il entirely
As for the proposition TO give the Fresi'
dent the discretionary power spoken OF, that
would decidedly be to partially abate one
evil BY creating a greater one in ito stead
The patronage of the Executive is already
slarmingly enormous. and should be imme'
diately and extensively diminished Thai
any sane man would propose 10 remedy the
defects in the working OF the Naval Board
BY plan that would vastly increase III,
Presidential prerogatives. clearly shows thu
utterly diseased condition OF the novel in
stitution In operating upon il there car
be no danger Of injuring any sound parts
for the whole thing is rotten, and should be
cot of as an unsighily and dangerous. ercres

4 FIYHsY REASON.

One Of the telegraphie dispatches i. yes
terday's paper stated that though Mr. Mar
CIV acknowledged the stability Of Walkers
government. yet he would not recognize
Parker H. French as Minister, on account
OF personal hostility TO the latter individual.
We do not believe The Secretary of State
would be Influenced by any such consider
aiions, or introduce any such chiid's play
in the negotiation OF international affairs
Bitter personal enemies have often sat at
the same council board, and though tueh
enmity may not tend TO facilitate the easy
transaction Of business, i, doubtless some
times expedites matters by railing out
great deal Of useless palager.
The published reason why Mr.. Marcy
refused TO recognize the pseudo plenipoteG-
tiary was amply sufficient, and We hope he
will not have resort 10 any trifing subter-
fnge. Considerable effort appears to be max
ing IN many quarters to manufacture a
