PROSCRIPIION,

The Secretary Of the Navy has
inaugurated a disgraceful war upon
the workmen in the navy yards on
account of their political opinions.
On the 21st inst. he decided to make
removals of the workmen in the
Washington Davy yard on political
grounds. He was appealed to to
do this by the Mayor of Washing
ton and a delegation of local Repub-
lican politicians. Among the first of
his official acts was one directing this
system of political prescription to
be put in execution. For the in
formation Of the people we publish
the imperial decree issued at the
Philadelphia Navy Yard. In bet
ter days such paper would have
disgraced all parties concerned in
its propulgation. A smaller piece of
business for great men to be en-
gagged in never bebre came under
our observation: @
CoMMANDANT's oFrIcR, U. s NAVY
YARD. PHILADELPHIA, March 81, 1863
Sir BY the direction of the Navy De-
partment, you will see that no person
hostile to the present administration
will be employed in the yard department
under yOE control
Preference should in all cases be given
to those who have belonged to the Union
party.
The Secretary Of the Navy particu-
larly desires this should be done.
Very respectfully,
J. b. MARCHAND, COmmandant

GRANTAND VIRGINIA

The important fact that the acs
ton of the government in respect
to the Virginia constitution has
been dictated by Judge Underwood
and Gov. Wells, is no longer denied
In Washington. The date of the
dection, as well as the clauses TO be
submitted separately TO the voters
in short, everything contained in
the proclamation of Gen. Grant,
was arranged at the direct sugges-
tions Of the most virulent section
of the Radical party. The appeals
of the Conservative Republi-
cans" enforced by the personal at
tendance and eloquent and earnest
representations of the "committee
of nine," have been utterly futile to
move the executive. From
whence" says the National IRteiH-
gencer, ait may be inferred, with
much plausibility, that the Presi-
dent is in full sympathy with the
extreme Radical party in Virginia"
1t is now ascertained from trust
worthy quarters that in the cabinet
meeting at whichth the Virginia ques
ton was settled, the President was
out voted by his cabinet. Grant,
Fish and Rawlins favored the Con
sentative side, and desired the i'm
portant township feature submitted
to a separate vote, but Hoar, Cox,
Creswell and Borie voted it down,
and the Virginia proclamation was
issued as the latter members die
tated it.

but we were hardly prepared to find

oughly disgraceful as the newspaper
reports show it to have been. The
reader who is unacquainted with the
personnel of the Radical party in
Tennessee will naturally conclude
on reading the report, that the con-

worst clements of the party; but
such was not the case. Some of its

A NEGRO SLAvEHoLDER.-The success of
b. Joubert in triumphing over all OPP
ponents for the Office of assessor for the
first district is due mainly to the energetic
efforts Of General Butler. His adversaries
were backed by the whole power and in
fluence of the congressional delegation from
this State; but Butler took Joubert in
hand. Joubert, if colored man, or of
African blood, has none of the signs thereof.
He is native of this city, is the owner of
valuable real estate, and not until the late
war and it's consequences did he ever re-
cognize the equality Of oil men without
distinction of race, color, or previous Goa
dition. Both Joubert and his father have
been owners of slaves. What gives more
significance to this result, and greater bril-
liancy to the victory achieved by Butler, is
the fact that Joubert's leading rival for this
Office was an ex-general Of volunteers In
the United States army during the late war,
and prominent member of our Legisla-
ture.-Neao Orleans Times.
