The Imputed Naval Fraud.

An Investigating committee was appointed
BY the last Congress, who reported on the
alleged abuses in the Brooklyn Nsvy-yard,
as to the purchase of Anthracite Coal and live
oak timber. Mr.. Bocock, from the majority,
reported that there were glsring abuses, but
having grown up during several years, no par
ticulsr administration should bear the entire
blame therefor. Mr.. Sherman, from the mi
nority, reported resolutions which placed the
responsibility for the abuses, on tho Secretary
OF the Navy and the President, who it was
contendsd had set an example dangerous to
the public safety, and deserving tho reproof
of the House. These resolutions, Mr.. Sher-
man brought forward again yesterday.
