MORE DISCHARGES AT THE NAVY YARD
A further reduction Of the force at the navy
yaLd was made yesterday, all the workmen
who have for some weeks past been on half
time having been discharged. There are
now employed in the yard but very small

to man the fire engine In case of IN alarm.

THESCASDINAyIANs IL TUE NORTHwEsT.-
The Wisconsin STATE JOTIUR says the Scan
dinavaus Of the Northwest held an cduca-
tional convention in Madison, in that State,
on the It'll instant, for the purpose of organ
i2lng a society for the more general diffusion
of education among their couutTymcn. Rep
rcsentatives were present from Illinois, Wis
Consin, Iowa and Minnesota, and the meet
ing was very large and enthusiastic.
society was organized called the Scandina-
Wan Lutheran Educational Society, Cousti-
tuition adopted, and a board Oftwelvc trustees
appointed to conduct the business OF the
society. The plan is to raise funds to cna-
bic them to get Scandinavian professors APP
pointed at American colleges, and have the
Scandinavian language taught there. II Is
believed that in this way many more Of the
young Scandinavians would BE- induced to
seek our higher institutions of learning, and
thus raise the standard Of education among
that class of ouI population. 1t is believed
that In a short time sufficient funds can be
raised TO establish two proicssOrships, one
east and one west Of the Mississippi, aud
that In the course of time one or more can
be established in each of the above mentioned
States.

The SOCIAL EvIL.-In view of the fact
that Thirteenth street has become a great
thoroughiare for persons visiting the Agrl-
cultural Department, and as complaint has
been made that the houses on both sides of
the street south of Pennsylvania avenue are
occupied by females of questionable charac-
ter, whose ''dnily walk and conversation"
is not such as to impress passers-by with
favorable opinion of their locality, Major
Richards, superintendent Of Metropolitan
police, yesterday issued orders to Lieutenant
TAFT, Of the Fifth precinct, to notify the oc.
cupants of the premises that they must va
cate within fifteen days. The order Is per-
cmptOry, and was served upon the following
keepers of brothels on the line of the street,
yesterday afternoon, by Lieutenant TAFT and
Sergeant Cavanaugh. The candidates"
served with the notice were; Elizabeth
Snow, No. $50; Annie Merwin, No. 4T9;
Bertha shafer, No. 47s; Ellen Wolf, No,
400; Sarah Barton, No. 500; Eliza Somers,
Eliza Foster, Jane Howard, No. 400; Au-
gusta Miller, No. 1885, Kate Hastin, No. I76;
Mary Brown, No. 4S2; Ada Freeman, No.
| i94i Jenny Mulloy, No. 400, Hatty Acxau-
| der, No. 4Sl; Fanny Wright and d. McCarty.
| OF the parties named above Shafer and
Wolf own the property In which they re-
side, the last-named owning four other
houses which are rented TO some of the
women whose names are given above.
The visits of the officers yesterday was
totally unexpected, and the announcement
that the demi monde would have to ''vamose''
came like thunder-clap upon them. The
news affected the women In different ways
some appearing perfectly reconclled, an
nounced their intention to comply with the
orders at once, while Others were inclined
to he bclligcrent, declaring that they woult
not move. The officers told such that the
] npFiutRnlant In "a aud tf Int
did not comply, measures would be taken t
| force them.

TEg CONVENIENT BRIDGE.--Private ad.
,ices of great importance concerning the
government bridge to be erected at this point,
were rsceiyed 10 Davenport yesterday (l2th.)
Thew were 10 the effect that Gen. Rawlins,
Secretary of War. has issued an order by
which the SUPPLEMENTARY of the cons,ruc.
ton Of the bridge has been transferred from
General Roduan to the engineer corps Of
the army, and that two distinguished officers
of that corps are to be ordered TO the Island
to take charge of the work. General ZOO
man has doubtless ere this received copy
Of the order, with instructions 10 turn over
the work to the engineers as soon as they
shall arrive, which will be within few
days. as they are yet to be selected.
We understand that the change is to b.
made not from any lack Of confidence in IN
ability Of Gen. Rodman to successfully 81
perintend the work, but from the fact tina
his duties lave become so numerous that al
sistance is actually indispensable, He wi
hereafter devote his attention exclusively t
the building Of the arsena!s. The constru'
ton OF the bridge will be pushed forwar
with as little delay as possible.

AN INSULTING SCoUNDaEL.--On Sunday
evening some black.leg, probably from Chr
cago, and whom the Rim would no doubt
denominate u respectable gentleman ap,
preached a lady on Washington street with
most insulting language. She was return
ing unaccompanied from church, and al,
though she believed no one to be at hand,
turned on the scoundrel and gave him such
a "tongue flashing" as soon sent him ske'
dadd!iug off into the protecting shades Of
night. Her last remark was a threat to
place the police on his track, which we hope
she will do il abe ID able TO identity him
A great many ladies, in order to avoid pub.
LEFTY, would prefer to pass over such an in.
suit rather than drag the poitroon to justice,
but this is wong. The interest of society
demands that such fellows should be prop
| erly cared for. The Rim will probably tell
as that this one was no doubt an innocent
first class ban o player, who simply made o
very common mistake, and therefore de-
serves the commisseraton of the public.
