Monday Morning, July 6, 1868.

PORTLAND Honor to the brave men of
Portland! They have done a gallant deed,
and done it promptly. Napoleon said the
rarest courage was the two-o'clock-in-the-
morning kind-meaning that courage which is
equal to sudden exigencies. The Portland
people have that kind. 1t is difficult to mag-
Inc circumstances more completely unexpec-
ted than those which presented themselves to
these alert -Englanders on the morning of
Saturday. An armed revenue vessel had
been spirited away during the night, no one
knew exactly how or by whom, though
doubtless the quick Yankee wit of the Port
landers had guessed that Rebel pirates had a
haud in the work. What was Portland
to do? There was no vessel of war no naval.
officer even in the harbor. There was, in fact,
nobody who had any legal authority to do
anything, but there were several hundred cit
izens, sailors and soldiers, stout-hearted and
determined TO do what they could towards
stopping piratical cruise. They took the
two readiest steamers, the Chesapeake and
Forest City, and with only few light guns,
started after the pirate, pushed right on in
spite OF her thirty-two pound shot, compelled
the Rebel buccaneers TO abandon and DESTROY
her, and finally captured both them and the
vessel in which they had entered the harbor.
There is no naval hero who would not be
proud to have accomplished this daring feat.
Every man who had a share in it earned hon.
orable fame. The names OF the leaders come
TO us by telegraph. Capt WILLETs comman-
ded the Chesapeake; Capt JOHN j. LIscoMB
the Forest City. Capt. LEIGHTON, Govern
ment Inspector, took charge of the Chesa-
peakes battery. Col. MASON and Capt. BEAL
commanded the soldiers on board the steam
ers. FREDERICK II. HARRIS led the citizen
volunteers. They have deserved well OF their
country, and shall be held in grateful and en-
during remembrance by the nation whom
their swim valor has saved from loss and dis
grace.
There is lesson to be drawn from the de-
cision and courage of these Portland heroes.
but the reflections are so obviously and ire
sistibly suggested by the example that we for
bear to make them. 1t seems to us they must
occur even to the naval and military authori-
ties at Washington.-IN. Y. Tribune.

4 SUB0RDINATE,S PLAN.

a gentleman for long time connected
with the army, and who, in all the cam
paigns in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama
and Mississippi, has seen the effect Of
policy upon which our different armies
have acted in their repeated advances,
maintained in our presence, a few days
ago, that until the Government abandoned
the idea Of holding and keeping in repair
the railroads in the States that we have
named, and contentcd itself with river
base for each Of its advancing columns,
we should conduct the wari in most labor
ious, expensive and Intellectual manner;
and that atthough We might finally tire out or
overcome the rebels, we should do it only
after great waste Of precious time, and
frightful expenditure Of life and money.
Aswe know the officer in question to be
one Of the clearest headed men in the ser
vice-one who has, in his day, successfully
managed great atfairs-wc listened attcn-
tively to what he had 10 say.
His plan was to tear up the railroads
wherever. they could be reached, to burn
the bridges, blow up. The culyerts, destroy
the rolling stock and carry off the iron, all
50 ef1ectually and to such an extent that the
enemy cannot use what we will not, and
thus compel him to transport his men and
munitions, by the primitive method, over
the horrible reads Of the seeding States
He maintained that tenth part Of the
expense necessarily incurred in keeping
open or communications, would build
steamers enough, Of the proper sort.

q mascnleVous scheme to add two Judge
to the Court Of Claims, and to confer upon
the five the power to enter final Judgment
in all cases against the United States, which
was defeated at the last session OF Con-
gress, seems to have been revived, and un-
less carefully watched will probably 60
through. It needs little argument to show
that the power to enter judgment in this
class Of cases, without the consent Of Con-
gress, ought not to be lodged in any court,
especially d court consisting Of judges
holding office for life. 1t would be far bet
ter to abolish the Court now existing,
which is useless and frivolous ex~
pense, All the cases which pass
through it so to the Committees on
Claims Of the two Houses, md are subse:
quently acted on by the two bodies respec-
lively. five must have Court Of Claims
it ought to he organized in this way, for
the peoples Representatives ought never
to give up the power Of controlling the dis
bursement Of the peoples money. But, if
the action ofthe Court determines nothing,
why have any Court?
It may be said that, even if the power
to enter final judgment against the United
States be given to the court, still no money
can be drawn from the Treasury except by
appropriation Of Congress. True, but
when Judgment is obtained by the claimant
will not Congress be bound to make the
appropriation? Clearly. When tho su-
premc Court Of Mississippi decided that
the bonds Of that State were q valid and
just claim, and that they must
be paid, and the Legislature re-
fused to mike IN appropriation to pay
them, the whole world denounced AHssis-
sippi as a community Of repudiators and
robbers. It will be found, if this bill
passes, that every Judgment which it ren-
dcrs will be followed by a corresponding
appropriation Of money by Congress. II
not, what will be the use ,of court pos
sessing such Jurisdiction? To pile up a
mountain Of unliquidatcd balances against
the Treasury, whose justice has been SUBJ
stantially confessed By the very set organ
izing the court? II it were advisable ever
to grant such powers to q court, this is the
worst possible time to try the experiment,
for claims arising from the war will soon
be rushing in; equaliDg in volume llalf the
national debt.
The proposition 10 add two judges to the
court may be the cause or the consequence
Of the proposed increase Of responsible
ties In either case it is reprehcnsiblc, be-
cause it adds $4,000 per year to the public
expenses. We trust that the wisdom
which defeated this pernicieus bill at the
last session, may not remain dormant when
it comes up for action the second time.
