THE AMERICAN NAVY.

Z In the House of Representatives, in
committee of the whole, on Thursday
there was an animated discussion on the
bill making appropriations for the navy
yard. The first question was on a pro-
position to strike out the appropriations
for the Pensacola fla Navy Yard.
Mr.. Rogers, of New Jersey, said he could
not divine the object ofstriliing out these
appropriations unless it was that this
Navy Yard was located in Southern
State. There was no Navy Yard in the
United States which required appropri-
ations so much as the Pensacola Yard.
1t was as necessary to have Navy Yards
in the South as in the North looking to
the protection of the entire country in
ease we should be hereafter involved in
q foreign war. 1t was narrow minded
prejudice which would prevent legisla-
ton to protect the South from being
verrun by foreign enemy because she
had just emerged from the rebellion.
Macmillan is about to give up his
Throne, and it is possible that we may
have war with France or England. 1

VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.

RICHMOND, Feb. II. The Legislative
Committee has returned from Washing
ton. An interview with the President
took place yesterday afternoon, which
was very satisfactory.
Mr.. Baldwin read an address, enforc-
ing the declarations of the resolutions
passed by the Legislature, and assuring
the President that they represented the
sentiments of the people OF Virginia.s
The President responded at a consid-
cradle length.~ He expressed his graft
fication at meeting the committee and
receiving their assurances of the loyalty
of their constituents to the Government
of the United States, for the preserva-
ton Of which he had perile,l aud
sacrificed much. He now desired that
all the States should be restored to their
former relations, and their representa-
tives in both Houses Of Congress be
admitted. The extreme men in one
section had been put down, and those in
the other section must not stand in the
way of restoration, harmony and conf
dence, SO essential to prosperity and
strength of the whole country.

the appropriations that are made to
build forts for the national defense at
points where our coast Is vulnerable.
There is no argument whatever that has
been made in favor of Withholding APP
prOpriatiOns for these navy yards that
willnot apply with equal force to with
holding appropriation from United states

RI that be SO, then the time has come
| when II would not be wise to make APP
nropriations for our naval stations, but
our ships are not upon one ocean only or
on one part of the seas. Theyare scat
tered wherever our commerce goes
Where our commerce goes there our
ships must be. 1t il contrary to all
economical theories and toall economical
facts that your ships shall be brought
from all points of the world to one point
for repairs. AS to the particular appro-
priatiOn for the navy yard at Pensacola,
ii is not to build navy yard; 1t is to
keep in condition what we have now
there, for the purpose of repairing ves-
sells attached to the Gulf and West In
dia squadrons and such other vessels
as are in the waters adjacent thereto.
Let me say argument in bringing these
vessels to New York and other places
has lost all force since you have stricken
out the appropriations necessary okeep
| these wards in efficient condition. Let
me tell you that if we have been able to
sustain the navy during the war, it Is
partly because we have had all the pri-
vate yards in the country to assist us.
Without them the navy yards would
have been Insufficient to sustain the
| navy. Do gentlemen want to estimate
the comparative cost of repairing ships
and engines in public and in some pri-
vate establishments? Let them then
look at the bills recently investigated
and returned to the Navy Department

/. GENERAL GRANT AND GENERAL
BUTLER. The following paragraph first
appeared in the Washington cOrrespon-
dence of the New York World, OF the
9th inst, and subsequently in numerous
other leading journals of the country:
"When General Grant removed to his
new house he gave a reception and
among others invited ex-General Butler
to attend. The card of invitation was
returned to the Northumberland with
the following indorsement:-I have the
honor to receive your card OF invitation.
| beg to decline it as politely as may;
and [ would further state, that in no
event would | be willing to hold per-
sonal intercourse with yourself or any
member of your family.
General Grant,"
We have not thought fit to notice the
many comments that have been made
by the press of the country on the sap
posed text of General Buffers card but
since several respectable journals have
assn ned that General Butler did SO far
forget the proprieties of life as to send
such card, we feel justified and author
liked to say that General Buffers card
did not contain the disgraceful words,
cor any member of your family" but
he did send card containing the fol-
lowing language:
"Gen. Butler has the honor to decline
the invitation of Lieut.. Gen. Grant.
"Gen. Butler has now no desire for
further acquaintance.

MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR pEIRporNr.

The Richmond Republic of Saturday,

Central, and the Manassas Gap im-
provements and the james River and
Kanawha Canal, as they go into opera
ton, and that too, at u loss to the state
taUeaty-sic millions of dollars. The Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company are
willing to furnish the means for bnilding
these new roads, and well can Baltimore
afford this outlay, when, by so doing,
she Is allowed to take from Virginia not
only the entire trade and travel of the
Southwest, but To drain every neighbOr-
hood in Virginia of local trade and
travel, destroy the commerce. If every
town and city, and trebly increase the
taxes of the rural districts. We trust
the Legislature will look well to the
true interests of Virginia, and not madly
plunge into internal improvement
schemes, designed solely for the benefit
of Baltimore and the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, simply because
the state is required topay out no money
to have these'improvements made. The
old Commonwealth can ill afford to
throw away the twenty-six millions of
dollars she has invested in the canal and
state railroads, and her Legislators should
look we'll to the effects of these new
charters before they grant Them.
