NAVY YARD FOR IRoNCLAps.--We have re-
ceived . great many communications, pam
phlets and arguments on the subject Of
locating navy yard for building and repair
ing our iron-clad war vessels. Several places
have been urged, and, Of course, very strongly,
by the inhabitants. property holders and inte-
rested parties of these localities. One urges
this advantage and one another, saying little
or nothing Of the disadvantages. Congress-
men and the authorities OF the Navy Depart
ment have been bored to death upon the SUBJ
Jet. New York would be the best place, I'M
doubtedly, IL the water of our bays were NOT
SILT The city Of Hudson, up The North river,
would not be Q bad place, and the water h
fresh there. New London wants the yard, but
the same objection as to salt water applies 10
that city as to New York. League Island, up
the Delaware, has the advantage OF fresh
water and convenience TO tho coal and iron
region but vessels Of deep drsught cannot
ascend so tar up, and the Delaware Is
closed up with ice part Of the year.
The proper place is Washington city, the seat
OF government. There Is Q navy yard there
already vessels OF the largest class can get
mp The Potomac Ia seldom frozen to impede
navigation, and il IL fresh water. Besides, II
Is nearly or quite as convenient 10 the coal

The FENIANs ASKING FOR DAMAGEs.--It is
said that some of the Fenian prisoners, who
are citizens Of the United States and were re-
Gently acquitted in Canada, are about 10 petit
ton Mr.. Seward to demand damages for false
imprisonment from the Canadian government.
We do not see that our government has got
anything to do with the matter 1t il the affair
entirely Of private citizens But the Fenisns
ought by ell means 10 sue the British govern
ment for damages, and, for the matter Of that,
for their cigars and brandy as we'll. We
should be delighted to see them get good
round verdict from John Bull, aud we are sure
that Mr.. Seward would have no objection.
There ought to be enough Of the poor Irish
chambermuids' money left in the Fenian trea-
sury 10 pay the law expenses, and If the poor
fellows who were locked up in jail for six
months are OF sufficient consequence in the
estimation Of the men who bounded them on
to their dismal incarceration, to get any as
sistance from the funds, II might be well APP
piled in this way. However, let John Bull be
sued for damages, no matter who pays the
lawyers

and Virginia, by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road and canal and by other means OF commu-
nication, as Philadelphia is to the mineral
regions of Pennsylvania. The greater distance
from the sea is also another advantage. 1t
would be better protected near the capital Of
the republic from foreign enemies than else
where. In every point Of view, then, and to
end the trouble about the matter arising from
the rival claims of the different places and in
terested parties, the government should decide
at once to locate the navy yard for iron-clads
at Washington.

agitators of South Carolina, on the slavery
issue, brought forward the State right Of seces-
sion. So far, too, in single generation, was
this revolutionary doctrine instilled into the
blood and bones Of the anti-CalhOun demo-
cratic party established by jackson that when,
in 1860. the work Of Southern secession had
commenced, Buchanan, Psnnsyivanian, as
President OF the United States, could Ind no
power in tho constitution to coeroe or interfere
with . seoeding State. This monstrous and
prepostsrous notion that the government had
no right to defend itself against . reasonable
domestic conspiracy was In perfeot keeping
with the Hartford Convention fallaoy, that it
had no right to protect itself against foreign
invasion. In either case the JeKersonian and
Calhoun theory Of State rights and State SOW
ereignty was only pushed to its logical oonolu-
sion. .
The bones Of three hundred thousand Union
soldiers, scattered about In the soil Of the
lately armed insurgent States, form only the
main item in the bill Of costs which the coun-
try has run up in order. to put down these
State rights heresies. But here IL the point
gained for q new departure. These heresies,
by that final appeal Of the sword. have been
put down. Not only 20, but in this contest Of
arms the negroes rights agitation Of Massa-
chusetts has boon settled with the State rights
agitation of South Carolina. We 60 back, then,
to the constitution Of Washington, with this
important and comprehensive diferencs-that
the amendment abolishing slavery carries with
it all the appendages Of slavery, and puts the
black race on the common political level Of
the "free persons" mentioned in the constitu-
ton; for, slavery gone, there Is no distinction
of persons left in the instrument excepting ap-
prentioes and Indians not taxed"
But how is any such construction to be ap.
piled in the South against the unanimous voice
of the ruling white races Let the pending
constitutional amendment remain on trial in
the intractable States until they are ready to
accept it. Time works wonders, and necessity
is o powerful teacher. II the States concerned
prefer to sacrifice the great advantages of res
toration to their old negro prejudices, for two,
i've or ten Or fifteen years, give them their
margin, and when cured their cure will be
complete. Let the amendment take its course,
and let Congress turn It's attention to the
national finances, the currency and our ex-
cessive taxations, internal and external, and to
the question Of general bankrupt law and
other practical measures Of relief, retrenchment
and reform, and the two houses will be legislat-
ing to the general advantage and satisfaction
Of the country. 4as ao9
