Mr. Sherman Of Ohio has carried through tho
House resolution Of inquiry into the management
of our great Navy Yards especially in reference to
our late Elections. There is undoubtedly very
rich placer here; but whether Mr. s. will be able,
with the clo.e Of this Congress less than fifty day
ahead to develop it, is questionable. We heartily
wish him success in his undertaking.
The end to which this inquiry should lead is the
abolition of Navy Yards They are eontrivances
for pamperiIg jobbers and corrup.Og elections
Let the Government build or repair vessels by CON.
tract, as any other ship-owner does, aud IT may
save half their cost and nineteenth Of the cOrrup-
ton that now renders these Yards stencil 10 the
public nOstIilr. The Government has no more call
to keep and run q ship building yard than have
Gripnell i Minturn or Spoford X Tilesson. Pa
per is a more vital matter TO US th,n ships are to
the Government, yet We run no piper-mill, because
we can do better. Let the Government sell of its
sbip-yard, and their rubbish, and, whenever it
wants ship built or repaired, just advertise for
proposals, and accept the most advantageous Offer
and the asirg will soon swell to Millions, not to
speak of the great advantage Of purging Congress
of its Florences, Maclays and George Taylors.

The defective aud incOnvenient mail arrange
nent. between this city aud Bost9p, to which we
have already alluded, .ill cont nues, much to the
dissatisfaction e portion Of the business commit
nifty. The Sound steamers, detained by f'ss and
storms, make their regular trips not more than
half the iime and letters by the steamboat mall due
here or in Boston the next morning after being
mailed, instead of arriving 81 the proper time, are
distribute to their owners the following day.
The closing Of the lard mail at o'clock renders 1t
impossible 10 furnish very important Information,
such as market repOrts for instance; and the cor
respoIdence of business mea between the two cities
is therefore either incomplete and unsatisfactory,
or subject to the caprl,ious cbarac;e r OF Sound
navigation in the Winter. And recently, as if 20
s6d TO the trouble, and make il sill more difficult
for business men TO convey late intelligence to
their correspondents, the mail pouches, which
heretofore have been kept open on the boitsuo to
tie hour Of sailing, have been discontinued This,
too We learn. is the case with the Phllidelphls
mail. which before remained open foe letters at
the depot until . O'Clock; and altogether there
seems to be disposition in the PostOfiice Depart
ment TO serve the public as poorly asposslble IN
the transmission of the mails, even unier the
present uniavotabe circumstances. We have al
resdy called attention 10 the true remedy for this
awkward and troublesome arrangement, AID at
the suggestion of many sufferers under it, on 70
more urge upon the Post Office Department,
and the railroad managers, the necessity OF estab'
fishing a light train for the Conveyance OF Passen-
ger. and the mails. Not only do We believe that
such train, provided with comfortable sleeping
carr, would be profitable to the railway, but We
are confident, a.O that it would be very rational
and popular improvement upon the present mode
of travelling, between New-York aod Boston
especially. The mails by this route would 60
through with more certainty and regularity, and
ample time would be given for the preparation OF
letters, while business men would have the great
advantage Of an entire day in either city. 1t is
more than probable that these complaints and sug-
gesticns will meet with no response from either
the Post Offce Department or the railway CON-
pany; but the time will come, we trus', when the
pressure Of public opinion will convince them all
Of the Justice and importance Of our propo,al.

Wholesome symptoms appear IN our report OF
yesterday proc. edlDgs in the House OF Representa-
,ises. The Consular sod Diplomatic bill being
under consideration ia Committee of the Whole,
motion of Mr. Lovejoy Of Illinois To refuse all ap-
proprstions for salaries to ministers and CON-
miss'oneIs, except the Minister to Spain, WAS de-
feated BY only tuttre mcjOruy; and the spproprls-
ton for the Minister to Perais for the Minister to
Rome. and the Minister to Switzerland, were sew
eralIy stricken out Of the bill Among those who
favored these measures were several Southern
Democrat, who were NOT afraid to speak in favor
of ecopomy, and against the extension of EIecu.
tive patronage.
This is a sood beginning, and we hope will be
vigorously aud effectively followed up. The teue
measure is that proposed by Dir. Loveioy Let US
have done with these useless aud costly official
residents at foreign courts, whose chief function is
to SPEND the pub c money and make themselves
glorious by presenting travelling American fdnkeys
at royal drawiog-rooms, and by giving tae same
class Of our fellow citizens free dinner or supper
now and then Cut off all foreign ministers, aud
let the busisess be transacted either by Consus
abroad, or By the Secretary of State at Washiog-
ton, except in cases Of necessity, when special
agent can be cent out for the time being. That
will bring this part of the public service back to
the idea of the founders of the Republic; it will
add vastly to the dignity Of the country, and save
the treasury an enormous annual sun; and will
deprive the Federal Executive of one of its most
potent means of corrupt on. Let us know who
votes sosinst this great and uteful refOTmi All
honor to Mr.. Lovejoy for bringing it forward.
