Thus, IL the changes at sea on long voyage
would have n shin with staff officers on board
senior 10 the actual commander, the Govern
ment could not afford TO let that commander
off in case Of wreck, disaster, or defeat
Therefore / take it for granted that no law
will be enacted that will leave 1T doubtful
who is to be the responsible commander in
any event.
In the army all our staff officers have actual
rank. They hold commissions from the
President as Generals, Colonels, Majo Cap
tains. ETC., which fix their pay, allowances,
precedence, and privileges generally. But
the sixty-second article of war clearly esta-
blishes who is to command If upon marches,
guards or in quarters, different corps of the
army shall happen TO join, or do duty to-
pether. the officer highest in rank of the line
Of the army, marine corps, or militia, by
commission, when on duty or in quarters,
shall command the whole and give orders for
what is needful to the service, unless other
wise specially directed by the President
of the United States, according to
the nature of the case. There
fore-and it frequently happens-when a
captain OF lieutenant finds himself senior, he
commands the whole, though there may be
under him surgeons, paymasters, quarter
masters, etc., with commissions of colonel or
major, who must obey his orders so long as a
line officer is present for duty. He must
command; be cannot even waive it, for the
Government holds him especially responsible
for whatever duty or enterprise the command
may be engaged in. This is true as to the
commanding officer, and is practically true as
to the officer of the day, who corresponds
with your officer of the deck as also the ad-
jutant, who simply makes the orders of the
commanding officer.
In all other respects the staff officers have
the full advantage Of their rank. On the
whole, our army system seems to work well in
practice, but do not feel justified in saying
how far the same plan would work in the navy.
OF this you must be the better Judge. AS a
matter of course all kinds of bills find easy
admission into Congress for debate, but feel
certain the majority of members will not force
on you any system of naval government that
you think will result in the Generalization of
the service. rather think they will defer to
those who go down to the sea in great ships
to make the laws which will preserve the dis
cipline of the navy and make it what it has
always been, the pride of the country.
With great sespect, your sincere friend,
w. Il. SHERMAN, General.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 10, 1S70.-Adniral
ID. d. Porter, Navy Department Dear Ad-
miral:-I have your letter of yesterday, and
hope you are mistaken in supposing my OPT
MON can in any manner affect the result in
the question of the rank, positive or assimi-
lated, of the staff officers of the navy. L
have observed the feeling which has been de-
veloped by the controversy, and have natu-
rally deferred to the judgment of such naval
officers, like yourself, as have spent their
whole lives at sea, and have risen from the
bottom to the very top of your profession.
As you remark, have good opportunities to
study the subject at sea, having made many
voyages in all sorts of crafts, with sailing and
steam or on war vessels, as we'll as packets,
one of those being from New York to Califor-
MIA. in the Lexington, naval storeship, com
manded by the present Admiral Bailey; and
the result or conclusion is that don't want
to 90 to sea in any vessel with more than one
captain, or where. in case of accident to him.
the rights and powers of his successor
are not clearly prescribed by law or naval
custom.
If by conferring actual naval rank on the
surgeons, paymasters, engineers, etc, the
power of the captain, executive officer, first
lieutenant, or of the officer Of the deck is
diminished or made doubtful, / would con
slider the change very damaging TO the
= service.

"keepinS a PubIic,v
A BRITISH AMBITION.


In England there are some thousands of
people the height of whose ambition is to
settle down in life as proprietors of "a snug
double-licensed public, as it is called in the
dd cdptdndum advertisements to be met with
in the cheap London weeklies. These as
pirers to public fame, says Chambers Journal,
are principally Gentlemen's gentlemen,'
When a member of that host, after some
months of preliminary flirting, at last, under
the influence of some sparkling ock, served
out at the marriage of one of 'the young
ladies, proposes to poor futtering Mary,
the housemaid, to "keep company" with
her, it is on the understanding that
when they have both saved enough, she shall
"take public" And very buxom hostess
does Mary, once so trim and slim, become;
how, she docs not know, but supposes it must
be ''the smell of the beer-least ways so folks
tell her." She is genial, as a rule. The only
complaint that can be made against ''missis"
is, say her servants, that she who was once so
hard upon the overbesring ways of her em-
ployers, is now lawful sharp upon body"
while the same lady, who, not many years
since, had too frequently to be reprovsd by
the housekeeper for an undue predilection for
brilliant colors in cap and bonnet, now asks,
with a toss of her head Miss Kate Jones, the
barmaid, how she can make such ashow of her
self, with all those ribbons flying about her;
does she want to sketch the fellows?" Whereat
saucy Kate discreetly replies not, but mutters
"Jealous"
The retirement to "a public of ones own
is also much sighed for by persons in another
grade of life-policemen. The members of
the force-more especially of that branch
known as detectives-who manage to save
enough to take "a public, are by no means
few
