The Torpedo Question: Wonderful
SOIutiOn-A Torpedo Fleet.

For some time past the naval department
mas been engaged in solving the problem o
a torpedo boat, capable of firing rapidly and
with certainty, under water, a torpedoo OF one
hundred pounds or more. The problem has
at length reached q satisfactory solution
and a boat has been completed which IS pro.
ed by experiment TO be faultless in ma.
ehlnery and arrangement. On the I'd inst,
Secretary Robeson, Vice Admiral Porter,
and Commodore Chase, chief of the bureau
OF ordnance, went TO the LAY yard al
Washington to witness the experiment with
this new engine OF destruction. After ex-
aiming the workings of1he machinery. and
the of firing. n OF thedestructives
was put into the frame and the party pro-
eeeded to the shore to witness the result. A
torpedo of only thirty-six pounds was first
run out with Tapidity and fired: but the re-
suit showed b a this small mount of DOW
der, even, would have been sufficient to de-
stroy any ship, bylifting her ont of the wat
er and breaking ner back, eYenif her bottom
was not knocked out altogether. Mud and
conclusion was felt far up in the navy ward,
the ground being shaken by the shock Of
the powder against the bed OF the river
The concussion felt on board the torpedo boat
was not more h that caused by q wave
striking q vessel at sea.
Several torpedoeg were fred from the YES
sci, the explosion Of which the party wit
messed IN board, as they desired 10 ascertain
for themselves the effect Of the shock. The
result seemed satisfactory, as no change
whatever Is contemplatedin themachinery,

charm" The torpedo vessel is the Nina, a
very strong iron boat OF three hundred and
nifty tons burden, capable OF crossing the
ocean. and havinga speed OF seventeen knots
an hour. She is not lmpsFvious to heavy
shot, but can be made 90, ard is capable of
resisting any ordinary projectile that could
be brought to bear on her from the deck ola
ship of war. Her decks will be made torpe-
do and shot proof, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
VIII be applied, now that It Is known
that the torpedo system is a success. Such
a vessel as the Nina. attacking an enemy's
squadron on our coast some dark night, or
entering an ennemy's port, could destroy
half the vessels in the harbor, and easily es-
cape, as Few vessels could overtakeh her. such
aEessel could, for instance, enter the hSr-
Dor OF Havana, n destroy every vessel of
war in the port, under cover of darkness
A squadron supplied with such boats TO be
used 10 attack, after the fight began, and the
ships enveioped in smoke, would ave n
most decided advantage against an enemy
thus armed for torpedo warfare. II Is re-
ported that our torpedo navy will consist of
twenty vessels, none of which will have a
speed Than twelve knots, and the fastest
them viii 90 seventeen knots.

Mr.. EDTToR:-I hope you will not
think me impertinentif / ask few ques-
tions, for there's are a great many things l
do not understand, but presume there
are some that will be able TO answer the
following questions, oths enlightenment
of more than the ~questioner, viz: Do our
courts issue orders merely to lumber up
their journals and make fees for their
clerks9 Or, is the intention when an or
der is made by them, that it shall be car
ried out TO its full extent, according TO
the spirit and letter of the law under
which it is made? If so, are there any
officers whose duty it is 10 see that there
mandates are complied with? 1fsO, are
there any officers sworn to do their duty3
If so, is not that officer who sees the law
and the orders of the court violated every
day, withouta any effort on his part to en-
force them, L ask, is he not a peTjUrers
Again, did not our court at its last ses-
sion, order q number of liquor selling
establishments to be closed until a bond
with sufficient sureties be given that the
law should not be violated again n their
shops? Ifso, has any one OF these per-
sons complied with that law and order?
If not, why not7 Is it not a notorious
fact, that every one of those establish
ments, in this town, are violating the law
Just as formerly, directly under the eye
Of the Judge, if he happens to walk u
streets, by night or by day, and with the
full knowledge land I had almost said
consent,) of the officers sworn to see the
law ebeyed, and force obedience thereto

Honor, the Judge, is aware of this de-
linquency in duty. of the officers of his
courtS Would il not be just ike the
man., and would not the people say
Ament if he would punish every officer
thus neglects his duty2 1.-THE or
ders OF our courts are to be thus trifed
with, will it not bring the administration
our laws into ~disrepute2 Wilnot our
court of justice become a kissing and a
