ABOLITION or NAVAL GRADES.

ABOLITION or NAVAL GRADES.
ALTHOUGH the President magnanimously sent
Yice-Admiral Porter's name into the Senate
as a nominee for the position of Admiral. the
House of Representatives is after him with
a sharp stick, and it yesterday agreed, by
two thirds vote, to put on passage a bill
abolishing the grade of Admiral, proceed
ing which will dispose most effectuslly of
Porter's pretensions. The American navy
abounds, to greater extent than any other
organization in the world, with Office of high
rank who drawlarge salaries without rendering
useful service. General Logan said yester-
day that with a personnel of only eight thou
sand men in the navy, there we're now 116
officers, with rank corresponding to those of
general, lieutenant-general, major. general,
and brigadier-gen He also remarked
that mo such thing existed in any other
navy" and he might have added that no
other people would tolerate such an oppres-
sive imposition. We are told time and again,
that we have scarcely war-ship fit for SER
vice. and yet we maintain moro naval Off
GERS in princely grandeur greater than
any other nation in the world. IL these
excessive emoluments were awarded ouly to
real heroes, or to officers who have rendered
long and efficient service, there would be
comparatively little cause of complaint But
pay goes with rank, and rank has been
acquired in many instances by dint of stick
ing to the navy as the barnacles stick to a
ship, without rendering particle of real SER
vice. A beginning towards the reformation
of this gross abuse has been
made by the raid against Porter; and now
since it has commenced, it should be vigo-
rously followed up by reducing the pay or by
absolutely driving from the service dozens of
high-salaried officers who have no Legitimate
claims on the national gratitude, aud who are
now, and have been for years. totally useless
appendages.

Mr.. MoCREERY, one of the Democratic
Senators from Kentucky, gave the nation a
foretaste of what it may expect from COM
plete restoration of Democratic ascendancy,
by joint resolution which he offered in the
Senate yesterday. He proposed that COM
mittee should be appointed to inquire into
the ownership of Arlin gtou Heights, prepara-
tory to its restoration to the wife of Robert
E. Lee, and not satisfied with more return
of the real estate, he wishes to have inquiries
made in regard to the amount of rent the
Government should pay for the occu-
pancy of the property to the wife
of the man who made desperate efforts to
destroy the republic. He also wishes to
ascertain ''the necessary means for re-
moving the graves of Union soldiers now
on the premises, and for learning the extent
of Mrs. Lees loss in Washington relics, so
that the Government may be mulcted in vim
dictive damages for the abstraction of such
property.
This is altogether the coolest proceeding
yet commenced, and it will furnish a fruitful
subject for future agitation by the unrecon-
structed sympathizers who are anxious to
exalt treason and humiliate loyalty in the
councils of the nation.

JUDGE KELLEY AND REVENUE
REFORM

JUDGE KELLEY yesterday, in the House of
Representatives, made an assault on the So
called revenue reformers" and achieved
brilliant victory, the enemy being, to use an
expressive term, nowhere. The folio wing
resolution, which was introduced by Judge
Kelley, was adopted by vote of l64 yeas to g
Maps
"Resolued, That the true principle of revenue re-
form points to the abolition OF the internal
sYstem which was created as a war measure TO pro-
ance OF which involves the employment, at the cost
of millions OF dollars annually, OF an army OF asses
sors, collectors, supervisors detectives and other
Ocers previously unknown, and requires the repeal
at the earliest day consistent with the mantcn
OF the latin and credit OF the GoVsrnment OF ali
stamp and other internal taxes; and that properly
adjusted rates shall be retained on distilled spirits,
tobacco, and malt liquors. as long as the legitimate
expenses of the Government require the collection
OF any sum from Internal taxes"
This resolution undoubtedly expresses the
only true principle of revenue reform, and
Judge Kelley is entitled to the thanks of the
community for having introduced it thus
carly in the session, and obliging the men,
bers of the House to put themselves definitely
upon record as being in favor of the abolition
of the internal revenue system, which was, in
the language of the resolution, created as a
war measure to provide for extraordinary
expenses The occasion which called for the
present internal revenue laws has long passed,
and the payment of the national debt is pro-
crossing in sufficiently satisfactory manner
to warrant the reform that Judge Kelley 8
resolution calls for. The mode of collecting
the internal revenue, and the huge .srmy
of officers that it necessitates, are even more
Objectionable than the amounts it obliges
every citizen to pay directly into the national
treasury. This system was devised as war
measure, and it has fulfilled the purposes of
its creation. The corruptions that are inse-
parable from it were endured patiently so
long as the necessities of the Government
required the liberal and active support
of every citizen; but the time has now
come when a radical reform is imperatively
demanded. Judge Kelley's resolution may
be taken as an indication that he will push
tho true principles of revenue reform with
energy during the present session, and the
vote of yesterday indicates that he can oom.

THE FIRST COLoRED MAN IN THE HoUsE.-lIon.
Joseph ii. Rainey, the cOlored member OF the House
OF Representatives from the First Congressional
Wnittemore, wss yesterday sworn into office, and
took his seat in the hall OF the House. He is the
first colored man who has held such position,
though not the first who has claimed 1t. He was
born in Georgetown, ID. c., In June, 1882 His
parents were both slaves, who purchased their own
freedom. They removed to Charleston, 8. c.,
where his father and Mr.. Rainey himself followed
the occupation OF barber When young he had no
educational advantages, aud he has never attended
school his life bus his thirst for knowledge was
so great that by his own efforts he has acquired
quite respectable education. He married his wife
in Philadelphia, and started to take refuge in this
city during the excitement OF the John Brown raid.
For this Offense departing from the State and re-
turning to it again, he was threatened with i'm
prisonmeHt. In 1862, while In Charleston, he
was compelled to help in the construction OF
the Confederate works, but he took the
6rst opportunity to leave for the West Indies where
he remained until after the war He returned to
Charleston in 1866, aud began business as a
merchant In 1865 he was member Of the South
Carolina Constitutional Convention, and afterwards
OF the State Senate. where he was chairman OF the
Finance Committee He is light mulatto, OF me-
dium height, with straight dark hair. On. his cre-
dentials being presented TO the House, he took the
r0nclad oath, and his first Official act to vote for
resolution made by General Banks relative TO sa I

SENATOR CATTELL has finally determined to
retire from political life, and will not be a
candidate for reelection to the Senate, by
reason of his failing health. This course on
his part will be the occasion of universal re-
gret by all who know and appreciate his worth
and usefulness in the Senate.

MOVEMENT was made in both houses of
Congress yesterday to pave the way for the
annexation of San Domingo by open legisla-
tion instead of the treaty process. Mr.. Nor
ton introduced in the Senate a resolution
providing for the appointment of commits
sioners to visit the sunny shores of our pro-
posed new sable sister, and to inquire into
her extent, debt, resources, and the disposi
ton of her people, while Mr.. Banks offered
a similar resolution in the House. The wife
of the head of the White House said some
years age that "Mr. Grant was very stub
born man." and he is now such a
jealous advocate of the proposed aoqui-
sition that all the influence of the
administration will be vigorously brought to
bear in its support. If you want an Office,
gentle reader, write, say, or do something in
favor of the acquisition of San Domingo
Those who wish to win special distinction
should get up monster meeting in favor of
this project; while those who desire to have
the gates of the kitchen cabinet forever
closed against them have only to say that they
can't, don't! or won't see the utility of
buying this second-rate gem of the Antilles.
