Inc JiSt OF changes as gwen IN the ASSO-
ciated Press despatch of this morning is not
correct in all particulars, and the above has
therefore been compared with the official list
as published in the last semi-annual Navy
Register. Some of the new names are per-
haps as good as the old ones, but they are no
better; and it is difficult to understand why
the Secretary did not adhere to the original
titles while he was about it,
There are nineteen names that Mr.. Robe
son has not interfered with, and in this list
are some of the most Objectionable of the
changes made to crafty Admiral Porters
hobby for assimilating the American naval
service with the British. In the highly
intellectual and elaborate defense of the new
nomenclature which he recently published,
the public will remember the scorn with
which he alluded to those benighted
beings outside of the Naval Academy who
were ignorant Of that celebrated compendium
of classical knowledge, 'Tookes Pantheon;"
the feeling manner in which he referred to
Niobe weeping for her children, and the logi
cal EstyIe in which he demonstrated that, as
1t was necessary that one of our ships
should be named after weeping mother.
therefore Nlobe was much to be preferred to
Rachel, which last name appeared to strike
the Admiral as absurd, probably because it
was Scriptural. We therefore find that the
Waxsaw is still to be called the Niobe. the
Manayunk the Ajax, the Tonawanda the Am
phitrlte, the Kalamazoo the Colossus, the
Shiloh the Iris, the Sangamon the Jason, the
Agamenticus the Terror, etc, etc.
Admiral Porter's refers with much unc-
tion to ''Iooke's Pantheon but, contrary
to his supposition, that erudite work
is not generally known to the school
boys of the present generation, it being
considered about half a century out Of
date. We presume, however, that it still
holds its own at the Naval Academy and it is
eminently suggestive of the conservative"
character of that institution, as well as of the
reputation it has acquired for ''cramminp"
rather than sound scholarship. Admiral
Porter's defense of the new nomenclature
was as lame as the majority of the changes
made were unfortunate. If Secretary Robe
son had put the whole list of names back to
what they were originally, he would have re.
ceived the thanks of the country, but he has
not even nan done tne Work, and the only
result of the last pronunciamento of the Navy
Department is to leave the matter in an even
more unsatisfactory condition than it was
when it came into his hands.
Now this difficulty is not of so much i'm
portance of itself as it is as an illustration of
the way the Navy Department is habitually
mismanaged. Within the last dozen years
the uniforms of the officers have been changed
as many times, to the delight OF the tailors

The Case OF Mr.. Seward-The Ingratitude
Of Politicians.

From the ". Y. Herald
1t ia a melancholy fact that we have to de-
fend Mr.. Seward in his oil age. We were
never his adherent, neither his supporter nor
his admirer. We never shared in spoils of
his winning nor fattened Oh the plumber got
ten at the cost of his moral sense. And yet
we, at the last, out of an enlarged humanity
that we alone possess among journalists, must
raise our voice in behalf of the aged statesman,
and against the treatment he is receiving at
the hands OF those who adhered to him in his
days OF pride and prosperity. Behold the Seo-
retary on his way to Auburn. He is in the dol
drums-a place out of which Webster will not
help one. 1t is equivalent to saying that he is in
the horse latitudes, with not the least breeze
of hope for the future to watt sluggish fancy
to better places. He feels so badly that he
does not want to make a speech. Because he
has not heart for speech or that brisk converse
and interchange of conceit that was his delight
he will not dine. He refuses even the most
delicate viands. Judge of the state of his
stomach and of the intellectual condition that
led to that state "This is the state OF man I"
The "nipping frost' must come; bat when it
comes (it we may mix our Wolsey with Mac
betty there ought to be 'treops of friends"
to cheer and shield against its discomforts.
Where are the friends in this emergency of
the ancient Secretary There is a voice from
Rio, not so generous In its aroma as the Rio
cofee-the voice of James Watson Webb,
to wit. This James Watson Webb is the
creature of Mr.. Stewards olemency, and
whereas he is now an ambassador, but
for MIR. Seward he would have been
merely discharged convict. Stewards pardon
saved him from prison cell and dreary
journey to Auburn; but he now sees Seward
make dreary journey to the same town, and
adds what bitterness he can in his allegations
against the Secretary's foreign policy. Ray
mond is no better than Webb. He, clinging
to Stewards skirts, has been dragged through
or bounced over many a political puddle in
which otherwise he would have perished
making no sign, and now ne feels that it
would make him look very poor to give a
| good word to the man departed from power.
From Greeley we could expect nothing else.
Seward once refused to give him some little
office in a country town-a post Office, per-
haps-and he has been Stewards sworn enemy
ever since, and will never forgive him any
more than he will now forgive Grant for not
giving him another post office. His tiiDgs and
jibes were therefore expected, and must give
as little pain to the Secretary as did the stabs
of the envious Cssca TO Cesar; but the real
pain is in the blow of this "litte villain" of a
| prot6gS and this mahogany stocked ambas-
sador, duplicate Brutus, continuing, fgura-
lively, the great story of slaughtered
| leader.

The Singular Situation of Things IL
g Washington

FT04n [he ~. II. Herald.
The situation of things at Was1inoton ia
singular and complicated, and from present
appearances tbs. Sslsts-is Is about to make a
: dapgeIo~s plunge that may lead to the dis
ruption and reorganization of parties, and, as
q consequence, to desperate fight between
the Senatorial oligarchy and the administra-
tion. The war has already commenced in an
insidious manner on the part OF the dominant
faction in the Senate, though unavowed, and
though words OF peace and harmony are ut
tered to the ear. The case of Mr.. Stewart has
been made the pretext of opposition or hos
tility; but If it had not been that, some other
might have been seized upon for the same
purpose. Indeed, the refusal to repeal the
Tenure Of Office law is sufficient proof that
Senators intend either TO hold General Grant
in leading strings or to fight his administra-
tion.
Sumner and other Senators who are active in
this hostile movement are Presidential aspi-
rants for 1872, and want to hold Grant so Grip
pled that he would have no chance of renomina-
tion. II Is the old political game over again,
and has been tried with almost every President
from the foundation ofthe Government. II is a
game, too, which Presidential aspirants and
plotters generally commence early and follow
mp to the end of Presidents term. Some
times, however, they overreach Themselves
when the people, seeing through their schemes
and purpose, take the side ofthe President and
re-elect him. There is a notable example of
this In the case of General Jackson, and
Grants position is not unlike his. Jackson got
into q muddle with the politicians about his
Cabinet and had to remodelit. Then the bank
question split his Cabinet again and the party,
which was divided into the Calhoun faction on
one side and that OF Van Buren, on the other.
The latter adhered to the President, and the
Iormer, powerful in talent and numbers, par
ueuiariy In Congress, made desperate war on

Though preferring that polity, his de-
