CORRUPTION IN THE NiVYYARDS.

In 1864 the notorious msmanagcmcnt and
corruption in the Navy-IardS induced Secrc-
tary Wellcs to appoint a Special Commission
for their invest cation, of which Col. OcOtt was
made chief. The inquiry more than substan-
tiated the charges, and a thorough reform was
begun. II does not appear TO have been car
ricd ont till recently. The Department was
disor@nizcd, but the system of corruption was
compact and difficult TO overthrow. Col.
Olcott was succeeded in 1865 by Mr.. j. Z.
Nccdcf and it is understood that by their
efforts the collusOn between contractors and
Navy-Yard officials is in u fair way to be en-
tircly broken up.
The Brooklyn Navy-Yard, it is asserted, is a
good, or bad example Of the general rOttcnncss
of the Department. 1t is charged that the books
of accounts have for years been systematically
kept so as to prevent the business of the Yard
from being inspected, and TO give the fullest
protection TO fraud. This was the great diff
Guilty of the Commission; that frauds had been
committed was notorious, but by whom when,
or how it was almost impossible to decide. But
patience will accomplish much, and it is charged
that the system of swndling undcrlay the whole
business of the Yard, and extended from the
higher officers to the mere labOrers. Receipts
for goods delivered were signed by officers
who knew that the bills were false, and that
one-fourth of the goods had never been sent
Inferior and damaged goods were bought with
out examination. At none of the yards were
regular inventories OF stock taken, Il neglect
intended to facilitate open and wholesale rob
berry Goods valued at millions of dollars
were not placed upon the records, and it is
asserted that metal, lumber, hardware, in fact
every material used in the Navy-Iards, have
been carted ont of the yards by persons
employed therein, to the amount of many
millions of dollars. Fictitious names were
placed on the pay-rolls, three clerks, it is said,
receiving the pay of twenty men in addition to
their own On the prctcnse Of raising funds for
political purposes, the wOIllmcn were robbed
by constant assessments Of 10 or 20 per cent on
their wages. Merchants willing to make fair
contracts with the Department were undcibid
by men who aftcrward obtained extravagant
prices for their goods Indeed the catalogue
OF charges is too long to be now repeated.
We are glad to hear that the Commission
have already saved hundreds of thousands OF
dollars to the Government, and that since the
beginning Of the year they have established
thorough system of bookkeeping IN most
of the Yards. But much more needs
TO be done if these charges arc true,
as there seems no reason 10 uOlDl'
The contract system should be re-
formed, and perhaps the best manner IN
which Congress can aid the Secretary OF the
Treasury to complete the difficult work he
has attempted is to appoint Committee with

version. The Belgian house stipulates for the

this consent be refused, the Government would

In no Catholic country of Europe has the
Church been able to maintain in modern
times the prerogatives and immunties which
she had acquired in the middle ages. But
never before has she been offered by
Catholic government so great an IN
Identification for the abandonment OF pre-
negatives which are entirely inconsistent with
all modern legislation. So liberal, indeed,
we're the offers of the Government, that the
Radical party in the Parliament were declaring
themselves decidedly opposed to the plan. We
have since learned by Gable dispatches that
the bill has been defeated in Parliament, that
On the 10th of February the resignation OF
the Cabinet was accepted by the King,
and that on the nth of February the
Parliament was dissolved and the election of
A new Parliament ordered. 1t is, therefore,
still doubtful to what extent the liberal legis-
lation proposed by Cavour and Ricasoli can be
carried out but to these great statesmen be-
longs, undoubtedly, the honor of having boldly
taken the initiative in one of the most needed
and most sweeping reforms in the political sys-
TENS of European mOnarchies.

The Chicago Tribune has very many words
respecting the crotchets and absurditics OF H. q.
on the subject of the Tariff and Protection.
VIII that journal squarcly answer-ddre 1t
honestly answer-thcse plain questions Where
in do these notions of II. c. differ from the
doctrines and views which impelled and iusti-
fled the passage of the Tariff of 1912 and the
support of Henry Clay for President in the
canvass of 1S447 Wherein do they essentially
differ from the doctrines maintained by
Abraham Lincoln in canvas5ng Illinois for
Clay in that canvass And wherein does the
line of argument now held by our Chicago
namcsake differ from that of Mr.. Clay's Illinois
opponents in the canvass aforesaid
| We ask those Illinoians who honor the
memory of Clay and Lincoln to mark well our
namcsake's answer to these plain questions.

Another demonstration in honor of Mr.. Bright
took place at Rochdale on the evening of the
Goth of January, particulars Of which we pub
lish elsewhere. His reply to the complimentary
address presented TO him on the occasion is
one of his happiest oratorical efforts In a re-
trospect of his political life for the past twenty
five years, he shows that he has been all along
doing battle for the people against the selfish
ness and tyranny Of class legislation, and points
out the substantial benefits to the cause of
liberty, justice, and humanity which lave re-
suited from his labors and those of his cOad-
tutors in the work of Reform. The repeal of
the iniquitous Corn laws and the consequent
chcaponing OF the peoples food, the abolition
of the taxes on newspaper enterprise, and the
deiycrance of British India from the irTesponsi-
bic rule Of Commercial Board, who admins
tered the affairs of that portion Of the Empire
solely in their own interests, arc some of the
trophies TO which Mr.. Bright could proudly re-
fer in the quarter of century's struggle with
monopoly and corruption. His remarks on the
injustice from which Ireland still suffers, and
on the obstructive character Of tho present

PROTECTION IND COMMERCE.


II has been a favOrtc and confident asser-
ton of Free Traders that Protection would
destroy our foreign Commerce, and, by conse-
quence, our revenue from imports. We dis
tinctly remember these assertions so long ago
as 1892 and they were reiterated as reasons
for opposing the Tariffs of 1924, 1928, 1872, and
1861. Protective duties were imposed, III spite
of these predictions and the result proved the
prophets grossly mistaken. Our foreign COM
merce was not destroyed, even by " the bill of
abominations," (voted for by Slas Wright
and Martin Van BUREN, of 1928; and The
World pronounces that the worst (most Pro-
tectve) Tariff we ever had. HereuDon we
said:
"As 70 those who cry out against the pending Tariff
bill that Il is bill OF abOmnationsthat 1t Is calculated
to destroy our foreign commerce-that c0htryance

In reply The World makes a parade of
figures showing the American tunnagc OF
various years. and thus comments:
"Thc large mportatlons of the last few years owing

Here you see The World dcxtcrously sub
stltutcs proposition of its own for that it
purports 10 combat. Free Traders have re-
pcntcdly and confidently predicted that our
successive Protective Tariffs would destroy
our foreign commerce. Those predictions were
notoriously falsificd by the event. We say,
"What has been will again be-" "No,"
responds The World; che is fool rho Gtirib-

agree so far. But how does that prove that

you arc right in making similar predictions now :
