WASHINGTON. August %, 1850.
Tho Radical Party Cassht In its Own Trap
Ne Prescription In the Navy Yards.
During the expiring hours OF the Thirty ninth
Congress an attempt was made TO put stop to the
0dious pracsce Of levying q tax upon the working.
men In the navy yards to defray the expenses OF
political campaigns and OF dschsrglng men for
political opinions. The law was intended to head
OF Andrew Johnson and Keep HIM from discharslng
radical workngmen in the navy yards 1t was put
on a. rider to the regular Appropriation BILL and
the probability is that President Johnson signed 1t
without nOticingtt 1t provhtes:-
That no onicer or empiofe OF the government
shall require or request any workingmeu IN any
cal PURPOSES nor sna an an pay 40, r
moved or discharged for political opinions; and any
officer or employe OF the government who ,shan
offend against the provisions OF this section shall he
dismissed the service OF the United states.
This had the desired eject at the time, and the
fact that there has been little occasion to levy upon
workingmen in the navy yards. or turn them out
for political opinions lately, has made the law nearly
dead letter, and its existence ar the Navy Depart
ment was almost forgotten. Some time ago the
Grand Army Of the Republic here made q raid on
Admiral Poor, at that time the commandant OF the
Washington Navy Yard, because he had man en-
poyed who It was alleged was not "truly loyal"
They demanded that he lie discharged. The Admi-
Tal COHpieu Win tflelr REQUEST Inc man, however,
had heard OF the above law, aud he determined to
test its validity. He accordingly appealed to the
Secretary OF the Navy. That 0fYlciai, AZ well as
nearly all his subordinates ut the Navy Department,
were ignorant OF the existence Of the law, and were
disposed to put the man on. At length search
was made and the law was found. The result
That Admiral Poor was compelled to restore the
man to his place. Recently several letters have
been addressed to the Secretary Of the Navy asking
tbs removal of certain obnoxious individuals IN
several navy yards, among these IL one from Senator
Osborn, OF Florida, and radical members OF Con-
gress from pennsylvania; but the Secretary OF the
Navy is powerless. The scheme OF the radicals to
head or Andy Johnson has returned to plague its
inventors. Until this act is repealed the working
men in the navy yards safe from being forced to
pay taxes to carry political contests and from dis
missals for opinions sake.
