WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-The following is the
latest movement on the part of Admiral Porter
to bring to bear influence on Congress to keep
the staff of the navy out of their just rank
Memorial to the Senate and House of Representa-
tivcs Of the United States OF America IN Congress
| The undersigned, citizens of New York and vici-
nity being deeply Interested in the commercial pros
pery OF the country, and believing that any change
which may lower the standard OF discipline in the
4 navy must necessarily and injurousy react on the
merchant service believing also that any equality
| OF rank with the captain of vessel, or any nde-
pendence of his control on the part OF any other per-
| son Whatever on board the ship, is subyersve OF
discipline and the fruitful source of disorder and
disaster, and understanding that the staff officers OF
the navy, viz; the Surgeons, paymasters, and En- En-
gineers, are endeayCrlng to obtain for themselves
| such rights and privileges as seem calculated
! to prove detrimental to proper discipline,
and assistance Of their professional
| brethren throughout the country we therefore
deem it incumbent us, in behalf of the safety and
prosperity of our national commerce, to request
| most respectfully that your honorable body will
exercise the greatest caution in the introduction Of
| principles into maritime service which we appre
| heud may be fraught with SO much danger to tht
| public welfare.
The above memorial is signed by large mum
| Der of gentlemen. Some of the members o
| Congress prominent in naval matters say thi
will have little or no influence, as it was evi
IDENTIFY signed under misapprehension of thu
| facts involved.
