THE NAVAL ACADEMY.
From the n. Y. World.

From the N. 4. World.
The requirements for admission into the
Naval Academy are of the most elementary
character. A scanty knowledge of reading,
writing, and the first four rules of arithmetic
is all that is required of the boy who enteys
this institution, the curriculum of which goes
no further than that of the public grammar
schools; and yet from which he is to emerge
in .t0tg gears, not only skilled in seamanship,
navigation, gunnery, and infantry tactics,
but with an amount of literary and scientific
knowledge equal to that to be obtained at
Harvard, Yale, or Columbia College. Thus
one of them writing in the New York Times,
January 10, 1869, assures us that cit is
admitted CD that the naval line officers
are the best educated men in any branch
of the public service. They pass at the
Naval Academy an ordeal harder than
West Point, Yale, or Harvard, or even
Oxford or Cambridge, and are not only tho
roughly grounded in everything relating to
war, naval and military engineering, etc., but
also in the higher sciences and International
law; a classical CD education not attainable
elsewhere in this country. No wonder then,
that they are proud of their position and jea-
lous of their rights and privileges, and that
they are more dignihed and less democratic
than their army confreres.' We admit the
want of democratic instincts, but deliberately
charge that not one of its graduates could pass
the examination for admission into either the
Boston High School, NewYork Free Academy.
once so-called, or the Central High School of
Philadelphia. Even in their own profession
no one of these graduates has ever risen
above the level Of obscure mediocrity The
only young officer who achieved distinction
during the war was Cushing, who was bilged
at the school The rule among the graduates
has been stupidity, ignorance, arrogance, and
subordination Of the civil to the military
arm. They are the allies admirers, and
weak inlitators of absolutism wherever they
are sent to fly the flag and misrepresent the
country. American men, -of-war are nolonger
the neat, trim models Of naval excellence
which were the admiration of the great naval
powers from the close of that war in which
they performed such glorious achievements
dSwn to period of twelve years ago. The
old ''first luff, who was every inch a sailor.
has been supplanted by the modern
,so.oalled Executive officer" who is
more often ashore than on board,
and whose principal function is creating
dissension where he should be heal
ing differences. A few years ago an Ameri-
can man-oi-war would got under way, come
to anchor, and perform her eyolutions without
a sound being heard save the order of the
officer of the deck and the boatswain's whis-
tie. Now, Bedlam itself is not more up
roarious. Oaths and yells from on deck and
louder Outcries from aloft attend every ma
nnuvIe, and after it has been gone through
with sfter a fashion in the incomplete way

Republican.

IA States. 116
There are two of the States marked
doubtful about which there will be no
doubt after next October. Ohio and New
Jersey are more certainly Republican than
Pennsylvania or Connecticut, and we
agree with the Post that there is no doubt
as to the latter two. .e,,
Gen. Noyes will be the Republican
nominee, for Governor of Ohio, upon a
liberal progressive platform, He is a
young man of spotlcss reputation, of
wealth, culture and popular public
speaker who lost leg in the Atlanta
campaign. His opponent, Geo. w. Nc
Cook, was virulent copperhead during
the war, is running upon platform incon-
sistent with his public record, unsatis-
factory to his party, and he will be~de-
feated by at least % 600. Such Republi-
can triumph in Ohio next October, upon
the "new DEPARTURE policy of the Demo
cracy, in the first campaign in which it is
presented tothe people, will stamp it as an
impolitic movement, will throw the Demo
cracy back upon their Bourbon policy OF
1864 and 1868, and force them into the
Presidential campaign, demoralized and
ed and divided. A defeat such as this in
Ohio, will give New Hampshire and In
diana to the Republicans. This will give
us forty-six of the lightweight doubtful,
as classified by the Post, with chances. for
others. This revision of the Posts gives
the Republicans 1872 ELECTORAL votes, the
Democrats 113, and leaves AZ doubtful. If
jeff. Davis, Toombs, Stephens and their
friends will only keep talking, it will make
about all the doubtful certainly Republi-
can, and make many of the States such as
New York and Oregon now counted Demo
cratic, certainly doubtful and in all prob
ability Republican.
On the whole, we see in the signs at
present, everything to encourage Republi-
cans, and very many to discourage the
Democracy. We have no doubt but that
the Presidential election of 1872 will result
in glorious triumph for the Republican,
party and insure to the American people
for four years more patriotic, honest and
progressive administration of public af-
fairs.

AL1rERARY MAYOR REVIEWED.

Mayor Halls message having been COM
mended by the Herald as " beautiful Eng
lish" and of fine Literary style,' the New
York Times in column and half edito-
rial, mercilessly criticises it and with the
keenest sarcasm and wit overhauls the
Mayor and exposes some wretched English
and grammar. The Herald too comes in
for its share. Having set up for judge of
fine "style" the Times exposes its style af-
ter this fashion: r ,trts, rrss -
Take this one passage from an editorial in
the Herald yesterday: Everywhere the Me-
tropolis under the benignant nurturing of the
Controllers statistics, bids fair to bloom even
more beautifully than before" To see me-
tropolis bloom, under any circumstances. would
be an interesting spectacle, butte see it bloom
ing under the benignant nurturing of statistics
would be phenomenon calculated to astonish
even the muddled head of Herald writer
The nurturing propriety of statistics isnot men
toned even in Mr.. Greeley's What Kroiv
About Farming. Perhaps it might in time SUI
persede deep blowing, or the use of manure.
