OFFICIAL CoRRuPTIoN-We find in the
Baltimore american an extract from a
Washington letter which says =
Mr.. Sherman's Committee of Investiga.
tion will bring to light many corrupt
practices in the Navy Yards. What he
will prove to have been going on at Brook
lyn for years past has been performed in
like manner at Philadelphia, Pensacola,
and Norfolk. The most gross corruption
yet detected is in the employment, or
rather in the payment Of mechanics and
laborers whose services are not needed and
indeed are not rendered twill be proved
that at and Immediately before the last
election 2,300 persons were in public pay
at the Brooklyn Yard They turned the
election in favor of Maclay and against
Col. Hamilton, and had it been possible
to unite on Taylor or Litchfeld, these in
dependent citizens would have secured
the return of the regular candidate in
that district. Master workmcn have
pocketed pay returned on the rolls as paid
to persons who are shown not to have been
employed at all. Others who have been
employed have been compelled to give the
officials one-half their wages. Contracts
have been awarded to bidders at double
the rates offered by individuals and firms
of greater responsibility. Materials have
been paid for which we're never delivered
In Short the Navy yards are shown to be
sinks of prohigacy. 1t is hardly denied
that the Philadelphia navy yard is the
centre of disbursements which often con-
troll the politics of the whole State. The
cost of all the work done at Norfolk and
Pensacola is greater than at other yards
showing that corruption prevails there as
elsewhere. 1t is no crude estimate that Of
the fourteen millions annually appropria-
ted to the navy, three millions are plunder-
ed by the proligacy, heedlessess and cor
ruption Of those who disburse the funds

The End of a sorrowful Life.

On Tuesday night, station house keepe
Copeland found Robert Comperry, who il
well known in the city, lying on the pave
ment on Front Row. As he had otter
seen him in similar situations, from tn,
effect of liquor he took him into the sta
tion house and locked him up. He was
taken sick soon afterward, and early in
the morning he breathed his last ESQ,
Horne held an inquest over the body, when
a verdict was rendered Of "died from dis
sipation and exposure The deceased an
peared to be about forty-fve years of age.
Mr.. Comperry was formerly of Clarks-
vile, in this State; he was respected
merchant dealing in corn and wheat
He removed to Nashville, where he became
wealthy, and moved in the first society in
that place, and was much respected for his
infexible integrity and genial qualities.
AS sometimes occurs in mercantile life, he
experienced vicssitudes, became involved,
and at length insolvent. He gave up to
his creditors, md was aruinedman He had
unfortunately, no family ties, not having
married; for, although there is pang in
knowing that those we love are pierced by
the misfortune that wound ourselves, yet
the sympathy of an affectionate wife, and
the hopeful anticipations of our children
prove tower of strength in the hour of
adversity. Mr.. Comperry had neither of
these to care for, nor to be his comfort and
support and seeing himself stripped of
the competence he had toiled all his life
to gain, he listened to the devlish cozening
of liquor, and sought relief from sorrow
in the bottle.
He there found his direct enemy, for
respectability, his good name, his honor
able standing, none of which had been
touched by his misfortune, were stripped
from him by the enemy he clasped to his
bosom. He came to this City some three
years ago. His old friends showed him
much kindness, but in vain; his habits of
intoxication made it impossible to assist
him effectually, and he sunk into com
plete sot, often appearing among the aban-
doned and hardened characters that are
every morning arraigned at the Recorders
bar. Yet in the midst of all, his integ-
rity of character never forsook him; hon
esty of action and upright simplicity Of
demeanor clung to him even in his degra-
dation. The jewel of his soul was obscur-
ed, its brightness was dimmed, but the ma,
tive excellence of the metal was stilkfhdfe,
even when he had made hiarself< dn ou1
cast from the esteem and kind service
fast friends. - Il = s.
On becoming aware of hix lIl5n on
Tuesday night, he expressed no useisss
regrets at being called from a world that
to him had been scence of disappoint-
ment and grief but at once addressed
himself to the only source Of help that
was left him. In moving accents his last
breath was spent in asking the. Eather of
Mercies to heal his backslidings, and to
wash away in Saviors blood the errors
and transgressions of his erring course.
And so he died; he who had enjoyed the
luxurics and the pomps of life, perished
in prison. Here is another sad, dreadful
lesson on intemperance. Who will reap
wisdom from the melancholy fate of Rob-
ert Comperry?-M Memphie Appeal.
