ENIisrrNo IN rHI NAvY-Most bitter com
plants are still made Ia regard 10 the manner In
which naval enlstments are conducted IN this
city. We are assured, upon the best authority,
that Il Is impossible TO have recruit mustered
into the navy and credited 10 the city OF Phila-
| delphia Persons around the rendezvous respect
fully inform tho recruit that If he win be credited
TO New Jersey he will be accepted, V not he will
| not b, taken at all. This cannot DC done without
the knowledge OF The officers inside, who seem 70
wink this rascality. This matter has gone far
| enough, and the sooner sach men are rode 0ui Of
town on rail the better for the Interests OF Pha-
| delphia The affair has been laid before the
: ConimaBdant at the Philadelphia Navy Yard
| who, we understand, has taken the matter IN
, | charge. Complaint has also been made 90 the
! Navy Department, and II the evil Is not nc once
TGmedied, let the people tako The matter in their
: | own hands and teach these swiDdiers what fair
| play is. 'l
