EMIT pOPTEB

NICE-ADNuRAL PORTER has been ordered away
from the Naval Academy, and Commodore
Worden has been assigned to the posi-
ton of superintendent of that institu-
ton in his place. This is change that
no one who has the good of the institu-
ton at heart will regret. 1t is notorious that
the Naval Academy is very far below West
Point in scholarship, in discipline, and in
every other respect, while the pretensions of
its graduates are very frequently in an inverse
proportion to their attainments. Yice-Admi-
raj Porter is one of those men who think that
the navy exists solely for the benefit of the
particular class of officers to which he belongs,
and during his administration as superintend-
ent he has encouraged to the utmost that aris-
tocratic sentiment that is the bane of the naval
service, and he has done little or nothing to
raise the standard of efficiency. He under
| stands exceedingly we'll the art of blowing his
| own trumpet, and he has managed to keep
himself before the public and to exploit
abroad what he esteems the peculiar merits
of the Academy, but without convincing the
| people of the country that the institution Is
all that it should be. If this officer had iml-
tated the modesty of merit that is character
| teIistic of General Sherman, Lieutenant Gene
raj Sheridan, and Admiral Farragut. he would
possess vastly more influence than he does,
but his excessive desire for notoriety has im-
! pressed the public that he is a good deal OF a
humbug, and his performances during the
| last nine months, especially as factotum OF the

THE PAUPER QUESTION IN ENG
land

The material assistance rendered to the poor
of London by the late Mr.. Peabody pre-
sents a startling contrast to the brutal treat
ment which they receive at the hands of the
officials who are paid for the especial pur-
pose of ascertaining and relieving their
wants. Altogether, there are thirty-eight
different Boards of Guardians of the Poor
in the English metropolis, and more than
fifteen hundred officials of all grades con-
nected with the administration of the laws
for the relief of the poor, their salaries
amounting in the aggregate to over half mil
lion of dollars. The compensation received
by the chaplains, physicians, and clerks fre-
quently amounts to $25OO per annum, with
lodgings and rations in addition. Yet, despite
these facts, the poor of London are in
sorrier plight than those of any other great
city in the civilized world. Greenwood.
the Amateur Casual, has given us vivid
sketches of the harshness of treatment to
which they are subjected, and the London
papers have been filed for months past with
accounts of the corruption in which the poor
law officials are stepped, more especially in
the parish of st. Pancras. In Eng
lauu poverty 10 ploleoslon' Iuelo
are tens of thousands of miserable
wretches who are born to beggary as their
only birthright and solitary calling through
life. The evil is SO great that it may justly
be regarded as Characteristic of the English
nation; and one of the most difficult tasks
which demands the attention of the Liberal
government is the answering of the question
as to how this vast pauper multitude can be
lifted out of the mire and transformed into a
class of respectable, useful, and law-abiding
citizens. The solution of this problem will
be as great triumph for Mr.. Gladstone as
the overthrow of the great Church iniquity in
Ireland; but it is a triumph which demands
the exercise of even higher grade of states
manship than suficed to bring about disesta-
blishment.

THE RJGHTs or WHITE MEN.

THE RIGHTS or WHITE MEN.
The National Executive Committee of Col
ored Men of the United States has issued an
address to the people of Liberia, to which we
respectfully call the attention of our Demo-
cratic contemporaries. This document is an
earnest and philanthropic appeal in behalf of
the white population of the young African
republic The gist of the argument is that,
in the opinion of the intelligent colored men
of the United States, the whites have some
rights that black men ought to respect even
in Africa, and the people of Liberia are en-
treated to strike the word white out of
their Constitution, and to repeal the laws
that disfranchise persons who may not have
a visible admixture Of black blood in their
veins. This address shows at least that the
black men of the United States are willing to
do as they wish to be done by, and they sug-
gest very forcibly that the people of Liberia,
because they have the power to do so, cannot
prescribe others without virtually aoknow-
Lodging that their former oppressors we're
blameless in prescribing them. 1t will GER
tainly be glorious day for Liberia when this
advice is adopted and the rights of white
men are freely acknowledged. Then the
most uncompromising Democrat in our
Fourth ward can emigrate to Africa, if he
wishes to better his condition, and will be re-
ceived with open arms by his black brethren
on the Liberian shores. He will be permitted
to take out his naturalization papers and to
vote at all the elections just freely as if his
face was as black as the ace of spades; and if
he behaves himself he will undoubtedly be
quite as much respected as if his blood we're
pure Congo, without any ''visible admixture.
We hope sincerely that the Liberians will
heed the counsel of their American brethren,
and make haste to remove the reproach that
now rests upon them by the proscriptive
clauses of their constitution. The time has
passed when such enactments can be allowed
to exist in free country without discredit,
and Liberia will make decided advance and
win tho applause of mankind when she
ceases to discriminate in her laws between
white and black.

Navy Department, have done incalculable iu-
jury to himself and to the naval service.
1t was certainly high time that Vice-Admi-
raj Porter should be relieved from duty at the
Naval Academy, for since the LIST of March
be has given but little of his time and atten-
ton to the institution. Instead of deyoting
himself to his legitimate duties. he has been
engaged in pushing all manner of schemes
in behalf of certain "ring" of officers who
assume to be the navy.
1t is certain that the performances of Porter
at the Navy Department have not given salts
faction. The position he occupies there is an
exceptional one, not sanctioned by law, and
both in and out of the service his influence
has been thought to be most injurious. If
the Secretary requires advisers he has his
chiefs of bureaux, who ought to be capable of
giving him all proper instruction and assist
ance in his duties; and if it is necessary to
have an officer in charge of the Secretary
conscience, the best plan would be to abolish
the position of Secretary of the Navy alto
gether, and place the department entirely in
the hands of naval men who will do the
work and take the responsibility That any
good would result from such change as this
no one believes, and Admiral Porter has
proved conclusively that he for one
has not the right kind of
ability or the unbiased Judgment neces-
sary for the proper administration of the
Navy Department. Since he has been in the
position of right-hand man to the Secretary,
the Navy Department has been made the
object of ridicule by all sorts of eccentric
schemes and projects; and the best thing that
can now be done with Porter is to assign him
to some sphere of duty for which he is fitted.
1t was a good move to get him out of the
Naval Academy, and it will be good move
to get him out of the Navy Department,
where he has no right to be, under the exist

JERSEY IN JEOPARDY.

The women of New Jersey have been hold
ing convention at Newark during the week,
in the interest of the female suffrage move
ment. By the women of New Jersey, in this
connection, we mean, of course, few of the
strong minded and weak-headed sort, who
kindly consent to do the talking and agitating
for the thousands of sensible women whose
home duties and privileges content them.
Years ago, before the question of female suf-
frage was thought to be worthy of serious
attention on the part of either men or women,
the latter were permitted to vote at certain
class of elections in New Jersey; and it is
advantage of the privilege, these few made
the most of it, and not content with casting
one ballot, smuggled into the box as many
different tickets as they could, making
changes in their dress between each assault
upon the polls, to facilitate their double deal
ing. The Newark sufragists have not only
heard of these sharp practices, but they have
also ascertained, in some mysterious way,
that their right to stuff the ballot-box has
never been legally taken away from them,
and hence they propose to organize associa-
tons throughout the State with the object of
enforcing their alleged rights and securing
the election of Congressman and Assembly
men who will advocate their political equality
with the sterner sex. We will risk the asser-
ton, however, that there are not now living
in our neighbor State one hundred women
who endeavor to do their full duty in all the
relations of domestic life that have particle
of sympathy for the schemes which have un-
settled the wits of the old women who have
been holding the suffrage convention at
Newark.
