sensibly and prcGtably he is employed
than five years ago.

THE CORLISS Ma VAL ENGINE CON.
TRIDT

We some weeks ago published In our washington
correspondence a statement of certain charges
brought against Chief Engineer King, Engineer in
Chief OF the Navy, by yce-Admlral Porter and w.
H. Allyn the late Chief Clerk of the Bureau Of Steam
Engineering, in which it alleged that Chief En-
gineer King had improperly favored the Corliss
Steam Engine Company in the settlement OF their
contract with the Government for building certain
marine engines The following letter. which was
addressed to the Committee on Retrenchment of
Congress when it had the matter under considera-
ton last summer, is plain intimatlon that
at least one member Of the committee was not in a
position to decide impartialy in controversy in
which MIR. Corliss was chief party. The letter will
explain itself, and II Mr. Jenckes is innocent of the
charges brought against him, he owes it to himself,
his constituents, and the country, to make the fact
plainly manifest
PROVIDENCE, r. I.-Hon NJ. Weker, Chairman of
the Committee on INSTRUMENTATION Sir:-The
claim of the Corss Steam Engine Co. for work done
In the construction OF steam engines for the Navy
Department, amounting to s251 0OO being before the
committee Of which ySu chairman for nvestiga-
ton, desire to draw your attention to the fact that
Hon Thomas A. Jenckes, member of your COM
mittee, has been at different times paid by George
II. Corliss, or the COrliss Steam Engine Co the
of 19s24,04, for professional services connected
with the letters patent for improvements In steam
engines recently refused extension by Congress.
In my opinion, the close professional relations
which Mr. Jenckes has sustained to Mr.. Corliss,
and to the Corss Steam Engine Company, unfit him
to act imparally in the matter now under investi-
cation by your committee, and my hope has been
| that Mr.. Jenckes would he sensible Of the impro-
priety himself OF continuing to act upon the SUBJ
! ject.
/ do not found my objection to Mr. Jenckes solely
upon the fact that he has been professionally con-
nected with Mr.. Corliss, but l have recently been
| made distinctly aware of the prejudice which he
feels in favor OF Corliss in reference to the pending
| claim OF the Corss Steam Engine Company.
On the 2Ith of June last while testimony was
being taken before the committee, 1t was plainly in
timated to me by him that unless withdrew my
opposition to the payment of the claim of the Cor
liss Steam Engine Company, L could not expect
my application for the appointment of Collector Of
the Port of Providence to be favorably considered
by hm; nae naa previously had direct assurance
to withdraw ny opposition, found that he executed
has threat, and gaze has influence for another.
| trust that you will, as chairman of the commit
tee, use your influence to make Mr.. Jenckes aware
that every consideration of propriety demands that
he should withdraw from the committee while the
subject of the propriey of paying the claims of the
| Corlss Steam Engine Company is under conside-
ration.
l am your obedient servant,
JOSEPH 2, MANTON.

OBITUARY.
Hon. John l.. Dawson.


The Hon. John L. Dawson, who for many years
figured prominently in the politics of this State,
died after brief illness Sunday evening last at
his residence, Friendship HUI, Fayette county. Mr..
Dawson was born in Uniontown, Fayette county, on
the 7th of February, 1918, and, after receiving his
education at Washington College, studied law and
engaged in the practice OF that profession. Early in
life, however he became interested in
politics, beginning his public career as
Democrat and remaining attached to that party
throughout. In 1S45 President Polk appointed him
United States Attorney for the Western District OF
Pennsylvania. 81 In 1850 he elected Representa-
tive in Congress from the Eighteenth district OF this
State and reelected in 1882 the number OF his dis
triet being changed, by reapportionment, to the
Twentieth. In 1862 and again in 1864, he was
elected to Congress, this time to represent the
Twenty-hrst district under the present apportion-
ment. During his last period of service he was q
member Of the Committees on Foreign Affairs
and on Public Lands. During his second
term he was the author OF the Homestead bill
which became law in 1854. At the close of his first
period of Congressional service, he offered, In
1885, the Governorshp OF the Territory OF Kansas
by President Pierce, but had the wisdom to decline
such a perous position Having been success
sivey member OF the National Democratic Con-
ventons Of 1s44 and 1s4s, he was delegate also to
those of 1856 and ls60 and in the convention OF
1885, which met at Cincinnati, he was selected by
the Pennsylvania delegation to acknowledge fit
tiDgy the compliment paid to this State by the nomi-
nation OF James Buchanan for the Presidency.
Mr.. Dawson was a member Of the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes during the greater portion OF the war
against the Rebellion, and was, throughout this
critical PERIOD strict Democrat. On the 18th OF
January, 1854, he offered preamble and resolution
which clearly set forth his views on the pending
struggle In the preamble Mr.. Dawson declared
that ''the advancing armies OF the Government
should carry the Constitution in one hand while
they held the sword ia the other, so that the in
ifd nofo
two" and in the accompanying resolution he de-
sired the President to proclaim "that whenever
any State now in insurrection shall SUBJ
init to the authority OF the Federal Gov-
ernment, as defined in the Constitution, all hos
tities against her shall cease and such State shall
be protected from all external interference with the
local laws and institutions, and her people shall be
guaranteed in the full enjoyment OF all those rights
which the Federal Constitution gave them" This
preamble ana resolution were LAID on the table, on

THE FRENCH NAVY

YHE world has been astonished at the COM
plete and uninterrupted success of the Prus-
slams during the present war, but the fact
that France should have found more than
her match and been overpowered by superior
numbers and outmaneuvred by superior
generalship, is not so remarkable as the COM
plete collapse of the entire military system of
the empire at the very first blow struck by
the enemy. Since Woerth and Weissenburg
French generalship has expended itself in at
tempting to save the shattered remnants of
one of the proudest armies that ever marched
out on an expected career of conquest, and
in frantic attempts to delay the advance
of the Germans upon the capital At
every point failure has marked the
most gallant efforts and one-half of the
army which was to have celebrated the EN-
peror's fete in Berlin is shut up in Metz,
while the other, and the Emperor with it, has
surrendered, and the Germans have COM
menced the siege of Paris, which is defended
only by imperfectly armed and imperfectly
organized bodies of citizen-soldiers, who will
find themselves confronted with veterans
flushed with victory and led by some of the
best generals of the age.
The French navy, which was expected to
play an imposing and important part in the
conquest of Prussia as the auxiliary of the
land forces, has proved as much a failure as
the army. Here, as in the army, nothing
appears to have been ready for prosecuting
an extensive war; the vessels have been found
to be entirely unsuited for the duties they
were expected to perform; they have not
been pFoperly supplied with arms ammuni-
tion, aud other supplies necessary for carry
ingoa an aggressive warfare;they have not been

on February 13, 1865, Mr.. Dawson made another
effort in behalf OF peace while Rebellion still

Mr. Dawson was gifted with more than ordinary
ability, and in the western part OF the State was
ackn owledged to be a representative man OF his
party.

"FISALIUEs.''-To those Of tho leaders Of

There was king with large jaw and a
queen with n fair face on the throne of
France and sit was clearer than crystal to
the lords OF the State preserves of lOaves and
