Popular opinion gives Sir r. Walker great credit for his
careful supervision, but whether some Of his improve

In building such ships as the Renown and Orion there
can be no doubt Sir b. Walker has added splendid and
useful ships TO the navy but hen IN attempting 70 m

shipbuilders The errors more particularly com

individually, and will therefore be deferred TO those op
portunies.
As way OF pointing out the extensive alterations in
the navy may be interesting to show the different
position of the Channel squadron in 1876 and 1855 The
ships forming the Channel squadron always supposed

contained only ship the propeller being

THE NORTH AND TIE SoUTH.-The New York
Times is kind enough TO make the following
suggestions for the benefit of the Southern
section of the Union:
The present is doubtless the great turning
point IN the controversy between the free and
slave States. That the latter should strive TO
maintain the prepondurance given first by
numbers, and afterwards 10y superior tactics,
il natural We have no disposition To ind
fault on account of such struggles 20 retain
power. but there are now sixteen free to If
teen slave States, with thr.e more free States
about Ia come Ia. The contest j. virtually
over. When there shall be decisive and ir-
reversible preponderance on the side of the
North, party cxigeneies viii not. rs hereto
fore, be able 10 compromise any substantial
interest Of freedom.
The South owes II TO lie character, and in
terest, 10 its memories and its hops. that IL
should yield Ia inevitable destiny.
The I.fscs Is eAecdiagly mistaken. Fer
such an enIerprising journal, il is very badly
"posted" as to the fstcts. IL ought Ia know
that never before, IN the history u the coun-
try, war the South 50 united and strOng upon
every question that Affects her interests IL il
no ''inevitable destiny" OF onrs 10 yield to
the progress of free society. There are many
sufficient reasons why the South will continue
To have beer share in the business and profits
OF this Union, and IL the Ti,-es cannot see them,

Es- In the House of Representatives at
Washington, on Friday last, considerable dis
cussion took place upon resolution offered
by Mr.. HOARD, of New York, which he claim
ed as privileged question, and the object of
which was to, inquire, through select cont
mittee, whether any influence had been at
tempted by any officer of the Executive
Department, by way of promise of Office or
patronage, or of withholding the same, upon
any member of Congress, with view to con-
troll his vote upon any pending public mea-
sure or question involving party fidelity. The
House finally decided, by vote of ss to los,
that it was not question of privilege, or a
privileged question, and therefore the resolu-
ton was not entertained.

HOGRIBIE MuRDER-We are advised of a
horrible murder which was committed In Al
len county, five miles from Scottville on the
Sth inst. The victim was Mrs Uriah Porter.
1t appears that Mr.. Porter was al Scottyille,
attending the county court. Mrs. Porter,
two small children, and several negroes were
at home. Her body was found in the garden,
after a search of about three hours 1t was
terribly disfgured by blows and the throat
was cut. negro boy. about ID years of age,
stated that he had seen man attacking her,
but he did not mention this until after her
body was found. This circumstance had
aroused suspicion against him, and he and
negro man were arrested, and two negro wo-
men, who it is supposed were concerned in
the murder or cognizant of it, had been ar
rested also.
Mrs. Porter was very estimable woman
and a member of the Methodist Church She
leaves four children. The cause of the muir
der is unknown. She was always very kind
TO the servants. The greatest excitement
prevailed in the county.-Lou. jour.
