was found an applicant for command with the
troops who were to take the field aud do the fight

mainly on the ground that he was so useful in the
position he already occupied that his services there
could not be dispensed with. But although thus
precluded from the opportunity Of acquiring fame on
the battle field the value Of his services was not the

strong effort was made 10 convict the depart
ment Of improper conduct in executing contracts for
the delivery OF Gve-oak timber for the different
yards and the minority Of the committee have
seized upon those transactions and by violent in
ferences and direct Misrepresentation have sought
to asten upon the Secretary the charge Of special
fayoritsm towards Mr.. Swift who undertook to de-
liver the supplies. II win be remembered that ON
the 18th of June last Congress directed the oonstruc
ton Of eight small steam vessels. From the com
mencement of that MONTH great excitement existed in
the country and Congress the Of the search
of our merchant vessels in the Cuban seas The Presi
dent under special authority conferred uponhim, had
previously determined TO send large feet to Para
quay. An unusual demand existed for vessels-ol-
war and it determined, as rapidly as possible,
to press the work of construction and repairs at
the different yards. The government, under the
old system of constructing frigates, had limited
supply of large TIMBER but such as was adapted to
present wants and such might be required in the
event of difficulty with England, of small liveoak
timber there little if amy, on hand, On the l4lh
of June the Secretary Of the Navy advertised for
supplies and required the delivery at an early
period, as the circumstances demanded he should.
The bidders, it seems, calculated upon obtaining
time, and fixed their rates accordingly 1t turn
ed out that they could not comply with the terms of
their agreement and they applied for extension of
time which the Secretary refused They then forfeit
cd their contracts The Secretary had right at once
to purchase inopen market; but this he declined TO do
and finally on the offer Of Mr. Swift closed an agree
mont with him on the rates fixed by the first con
tract Mr.. Swift had portion of the timber on
hand, and this is arrayed by the minority construc
tive evidence of improper colhlson between the de-
partment and that gentleman Some of the bidders
testify that their offers based upon the idea that
they could getan extension of time and the gov
eminent is charged with fault in not granting such
extension, though by doing the witnesses them
selves testify they would have secured advantage
in the price of the article.
We have seen nothing in modern times to COM
pare at all with the cool impudence of the minority
report in this respect 1t is argued deliberately that
the fact tiat Mr. Swift had tho ability to comply
with his contract is all against his integrity and that
of the department 1t arrays an army of aggreved
parties who complain that the time limited in the
advertisement for the delivery of the first instament
of timber was too short 90 suit their convenience
II does not follow til. Sxhibit with the proof that the
price paid was ex sliieat that il was more than
others had demanded that the government had suf
ference from the testimony is that the government
saved from twenty-five to thirty thousand dollars by

GOVERNOR ToucEY's LETTER AND THE NAVAL


atives Governor Toucey is an able man, of unim-
peachable character, long tried in public service,
cautious and circumspec in all the relations of life,
and precisely the person we should select to meet
and overwhelm the caumnies of partisan warfare.
The committee of Investigation suggested by
the opposition, and constituted, by the appointment
of the Speaker, of majority opposed to the admin
istraton, whose official conduct they were charged
to examine and report upon. We do not criticise
the policy which controlled the appointment. So
far the Secretary of the Navy is concerned it was
perhaps the wiser course to intrust the investigation
to the opposition. Nobody believed that the per-
sonal and official integrity of that gentleman could
be impeached and none who knew of his high quail
i6cations and experience thought for moment that
any serious mistakes could be rightly laid to his
charge
After laborous and minute inquiry into the
management of the Navy Department and an unpre-
cedented search for private and public communica-
tons, The committee made a report exonorating Gov.
Toucey from every charge of improper unfaithfnl
conduct. We might here rest the case but il is
due to the public and to the of truth that a
few leading facts connected with it should be laid
before the country, The investigation originated
with the opposition. 1t was intended by it to
effect partisan objects. 1t was not legislative M
iertaking in any just sense. There was not single
man in Congress- who believed that the Secretary of
the Navy had either neglected his duties as public
officer or been identified in any manner with schemes
to defraud the government. There was not man
in Congress- in Judgment, who" believed that
any unusual transactions injurious to the govern
ment had taken place within the jurisdiction of the
Navy Department. Il so happened that Governor
Toucey was prominent statesman OF Connecticut
commanding justly the confidence of the people of
that Commonwealth and the signs were as
cauism was on the wane there effort was made
to discredit him aud the democratic party by ex-
posing all the petty Encouragement which years
had entailed in of the leading Department. of
the government Well, the work was commenced,
as we have said by the reference Of the whole sub
iect, with plenary powers, to a committee, major
ity Of which was composed Of enemies of the adj
minstration and the democratic party.
An investigation followed. the record Of which
covers l2l6 octave pages on the SO Of the FIRST
part Of which majority Of the committee resolve
THAT nothing has been proven ia this inves-
tigation which mpeaches, in any way, the personal
or official integrity of the Secretary of the Navy
