That man. breaking his neck, should

our opinion too much to believe for even

have much cause to be thankful to him
to learn, that the man actually did Gle

incensed against Schultz, and looked upon

A boy named Baldwin Alexander. about
seventeen years of age, residing IN Pulaski
county, Virginia. having been appointed n
cadet at the Naval Academy by R-Oresenta-
tive Gibson, of Virginia, unuerwentthorough
examination aud passed. He made a favor
able impression on the board OF examiners
and the Secretary of the Navy, and his ap-
poiutment was confirmed; but when asked
to take The test Oalh he declined, asserting
that although he was a mere child at the
commencement of the war, and but twelve
years of age at the close, his associate sur
roundings, etc., had created q sympathy IN
lis mind and heart for those around him;
and to swear that he had not sympathized
with or countenanced the rebellion" would
be base perjury, and he could not do so.
He could take all the remainder OF the
oath but those two terms. His honesty and
candor elected encomiums from the naval
authorities, and Senator johnson took the
matter IN hand and tried to have the youth
admitted upon taking the proper constitu-
tional oath. The law on the subject Is I'M.
perative, and the Secretary OF The Navy IL
formed Senator johnson that Alexander
could not be admitted to the academy as a
cadet unless he subscribed to the iron-c!ad
oath. Senator johnson will ask special
Congressional legislation 10 his case, and
Representative Platt also stated that he
would ask t5e removal of Alexandra disa-
bilities by the House, and that he be al.
lowed TO enter the academy without taking

RACING.
NEW ORLEANS, July 2, 1870.

NEW ORLEANS, July 2, 1870.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
notice in this mornings issue of your
valuable journal IN article in regard to
steamboat racing" condemning racing as
un wise and useless. l beg to differ with
you, and, instead of condemning racing, so
far as steamboats, are concerned, | would
encourage it; and l am fully satisfied that il
every boat upon every trip would be started
out upon the distinct understanding that
the intentions of the officers were to race
against other boats, or against time, there
would be no more reports of boiler expio.
sions.
The general impression as to the liability
OF a boiler bursting is erroneous. 1t is more
difficult to burst a boiler than is generally
supposed. In fact, an engineer of mediocre
ability can prevent a boiler explosion under
almost any ordinary circumstances. When
An explosion does occur it is either through
the total incompetency of the engineer in
charge, or the unwor,hiness of the boiler
two faults easily prevented. But, alas! for
manklnds excessive owe for Marnmon, the
engineer who manages to make shift
with old. vernon boilers. and who works
for a trltilng salary, is in too many instances
a man entirely devoid of ability to secure
otAeT tAlpiOy utuL, anu, therefore, between
this class and another class, still lower, who
are at all times incompetent, there alone
exists q rivalry. Every engineer of stand
ing will agree with me that with ordinary
good boilers there is not one.tenth as
much danger of accidents totbose on board
as there is in our streets from street cars.
Further, when preparing for a race the
engineer is the principal one to make
preparation; every bolt is looked To-; every
possible weak place strengthened; and
during the continuance of the race a sharp
lookout is kept; water is carried more regu-
larry; tiremen are made 10 fire more sys-
tematically; and being on the alert, the
least motion, jar, or other irregularity, is
Immediately remedied.
Do not stop racing, but use efforts to
raise the standard of steamboatmen as a
class, and more particularly engineers; for
it is too well known that as a class, en-
gineers are, in this part of the world, far
below a proper standard.
There are dozens OF engineers of my &C
quaintance, and numerous others, no doubt,
to whom the thought OF an explosion is
synonymous with a lightning stroke-with
this difference, that they feel actually more
fear of being struck By lightning than of
having an explosion.
Very respectfully,
ENGINEER.

Manufacturers have rather a good story to
tell just now at the expense of an English
inspector. He went to a town, which Shalt

was received by the mill owner in his pri-
yate office, a beautiful Turkey-carpeted
room, and there was a goodIy lunch spread
out, which the Inspector, being young AND
having a healthy appetite, did full justice to.
The meal finished, the host said to his
guest, well, if you wont hage any more
