WASHINGTON, March 81.

The Secretary Of the Navy, in response
to the Senate resolution Of inquiry, says no
transfer Of seamen from the army to the
navy has been effected under the recent act
Of Congress, and IS vessels Of war are now
waiting for crews, but the terms Of many
seamen now in the service have expired,
and men arc detained to manage our chips
though justly entitled to uisc change. Were
they not detained many vessels on blockade
duty would have to 90 out Of the service.
This state Of things 10 to be deplored, and
10, in great measure, II not entirely, ct.
tributable to unfortunate legislation. The
enrolment act Of this Congress 90 utterly
ignored the naval service that enlistments
in that service were not permitted to be
credited on the quotas Of these committees
from which they we're drawn when the
draft came to be enforced. In addition to
these obstacles, the appropriation for extra.
ordinary bounties for army enlistments,
while not dollar wss paid to the sailor,
operated to the discredit Of the naval force,
and held out strong Inducements for the
military service.
