TIE DEFENCE OF COMMODORE GoLDsBo-
RoUGH.-We have received from friend OF
Commodore Goldsborough, and publish to-day,
a defence of his conduct while in command OF
the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron and
the James river fotilla. 1t is not and has
never been, our intention to do injustice to
anybody; but in these times the public judge
by the acts Of men as well as by COM
parison. We know that Commodore Goldsbo
rough had large and efficient feet under his
command, and but one iron-clad vessel to get
out Of the way. But he did not destroy her. On
the other hand Commodore Farragut had also
large feet at New Orleans; but he had to con-
tend against three or four enormous forts and
four or five ron-clad rebel vessels; and we all
know what he did. This is the way the public
judge, and 20 do We. These comparisons are
conclusive to our mind; and, while we will not
do injustice to any man, we wish every COM
mander Of the army and navy to do his duty.

SENATOR SIMMONS AGAIN IN THE PuIoW.-
Senator Simmons completely in contract jobs
has hardly been smothered mp in Congress
by his conscience-stricken fellow Senators when
1t again breaks out in Rhode Island court Of
justice In the course of trial now progress
ing before the United States Circuit Court at
Newport, Rinade Island Mr.. John b. Anthony,
Treasurer OF the Providence Tool Company,
testified that gan contract for twenty -fve thou
sand muskes was negotiated for the company
by Senator Simmons :" and several others, among
Simmons claimed FIVE thousand dollars, after
the contract was secured as bonus for pro-
curing it, and that he was paid the money under
threat that he would use his influence against
the company upon second contract which it
was desirable to obtain. Thin revelation makes
the conduct Of the Senate in squelchiDg the in
vestigation Of Simmons previous job still more
astonishing. Undoubtedly Simmons practice
has been the rule with many Of his Congress
sional colleagues, both in the Senate and the
House, and this is the reason why his other
little affair was quietly ~Oufied in COM
mittee room. We have no doubt that the pub
lie jobbery, robbery and swindling of some Of
the Senators and Representatives, and their ac-
completes, during the last session of Congress,
amount to twenty or thirty millions Of dollars,
for which the people will be taxed. The re-
ports Of three or four Congressional committees
only show the astounding corruption of few
individuals; and these surface pickings but
serve to indicate tho rich mines of jobbery not
yet revealed 1t is a fact worth noticing and
remembering that the persons who have thus
robbed the people are generally those who cry
most loudly about the negro. indulge in all
sorts of intrgues against and attacks upon our
generals in the field. and thus add to the dura-
ton as well as to the cost of the war. Greeley
and the other gun contract jobbers of the 1'i-
bune Association shining illustrations of this
pregnant fact.

vice was severe, for in addition TO the
wearisome labor il bridge-buiIdiDR. the

nights spent in the performance Of this
duty, the 42d was relieved and sent 60 the

individually. Still be thought there was
