A Word for the Sailor and Marine.

WAsHlNGT0N, ID. O., Jan 3, 1871.
To TIE EDITOR or THE HERALD:--
SIR-lt is an old saving and true one that the pen
is mghter than the sword-wleding an influence
over the minds OF the intelligent world, its power
showing itself every day OF our lives reaping bene-
fits to some and disaster to others.
During the late rebellion the press showed its
power over the minds OF the people OF this country
Through 1t proclamatons We're issued and appeals
made for men 70 defend the government. TO all those
appeals response was cheefully given. Men were
mustered into the different branches OF the service
the army and the navy, and each having their por.
ton Of tie work to perform, how well they lid it
the records viii show. BY the pen (the press) lu-
tce has at least been done the solder OF the ie but
the sailor marine Is seldom spoken or The power
OF the press Is shown by the diflerent bills that have
been framed and enacted by Congress during the
last five years. looking to the benefit Of the SOLDIER
all OF which had been urged through the press
When the sailor, solder and marine responded TO
all OF US determined to do our duty and carve out
name by our actions that would compare with our
displayed BY the soldier on many well fought fed;
but sir, our sailor aud marine died bravcly also
enemy's lortiiicatlons. The little Monitor in the
narbor OF NewIorI, Va, without doubt saved
80 our government millions OF dollars ond
this being only one or the important services ren-
dcred by our navy during the war; In all the en-
gagemcrts along both banks OF the Mississippi
river, rom Cairo to the Gulf OF Mexico, ycks-
burg and IT'S batteries; with Forts Jackson and
ST. ~Phlto, and New orleans, TO Mobile; here
our gallant Admiral. the larc FarTagur, lashed
himself to me mast during the engagements.
Then on to Puiaski, Wagner Sumter, Fisher and not
forgetting Newbern; and also our gallant victory
by the good ship keaIsarge over the Alabama, and
other important engagements, as the naval records
Will show, and on almost every occasion where
our navy participated the tide Of battle has been
turned by the active cooperation Of the navy with
the army. Then, sir the sailor and marine have no
claims against the governments Having cheeriully

For the last five years we have watched carefully
the proceedings OF Congress-, looking for some one
to champion our cause, and also carefully noticed
the different editorials OF the press, thinking that
they al least would do rs justice by recognz ng eur

TO THE EDITOR or rBE HERALD:-
The solving OF the Indian problem still occupies
statesmen. Quakers have been sent to them and
failed like all who went before. Now why not
send Catholic missionary priests Are not they and
have they not ever been the Indians best friends
Have they not always trusted and spoken well OF the
Indian? And shall we let n mere lot Of sectaran
ministers keep us from sending, then. faithful and
disiutcrestci men To the indianss At least why not
give them chance Ii we send sectarian ministers
they will only fall out among themselves.

Another Champion OF Admiral Porter.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Rip Van Wrinkle thinks that people are soon forgot
ten after their DEATH This idea entertained and
supposed to have been uttered long before the great
republic commenced existence as a sovereign Power.
Since then the progress of the age has changed
many things and il seems that people do not walt
now for death to render them obllvious OF the deeds
0f the great men OF the age but legislators for
get them while they yet live in flesh aud blood. In
hl ages and countries brave have become
prominent, ana their courage has been re-
warded, especially when it was exercised IN
the preservation OF government and peo-
pie. Our civil war brought out many courage.
Gus men, and foremost among them stands
Admiral Porter. who did az much towards crushing
tue rebellion as any man in the country; yet our
wise men in Congress seem to have forgotten him
and his services He Is still with us, ready with all
the bravery Of other days, to head his feet when
ever the country may need him, and IL Is conceded
by all who have any knowledge Of the subject that
IN the handling OF large number OF vessels In fleet
mannuvres he Is unsurpassed by any living cap
tam.
Those who fought straight at the centre of the
rebellion during It's entire existence and fought with
such bravery, energy and determination as Porter
did, have dear places in The hearts of every al
one OF the republic, and II s slight to them Tor our
public men TO iorset HIN. The Office or Admiral
was made vacant by the death of the brave Far
ragut, the moro and personal friend Of Porter.
Next In rank and in the affections or the people
comes Porter yet the Senate seems to have forgotten
his services during the dark days, for his conlrma-
tl0n hangs fire. The army IS more fortunate. The
corresponding grade OF General was made vacant
by the election Of General Grant to the Presidency;
and 1t was Immediately filed by that noble sol llicr
sherman While speaking Of the army 1t is as well
to state here chat The bill for the reduction OF the
expenses OF that branch OF the service, known as
Logan's BILL really added 100000 to the expenses
less pay than formerly, but the lower grades being
largely increased by longevity percentage, COM

Judicious DISCRIMINATION Police Captain
Who BIends. Mercy with Justice.

Judicieus Discriniinnt iona Police Captain
WHO Blends Mercy with Justice.
TO THE EDITOR OF TIE HEIALD:-
1t Is q noticeable fact, and one greatly to be
lanented, that police officers in the administration
OF the duties OF their offce-which are not unIre-
quently OF the most delicate nature-exhbit most
amentabie absence Of that necessary and ndispen-
sable Ingredient called common sense Honest,
worthy ana respectable citizens are frequently sub
jected to veXatiOus anu disgraceful arrests and
oathsome impsisonments, because an officer will
not exercise, or, which is more probable viii not
call into requsitl0n some small modicum of common
sense, or the mere exercise Of that perception
which would govern the most trivial transaction In
common life. A most lamentabe and heartrending
exhibition OF this may he called TO mind in The late
arrests for alleged pering at Macy's store.
While there is much to condemn IN the action OF
these officers there IS now and then presented
as grateful and cheering an oasis in the DESERT
which shows that all are not thus bind dull and
unfeeling. And when case Of tins kind does crop
out 1t is more than an act OF common jnstce that
be given to the pubic that they, Wen the
author may have the benefit OF it, Such a case
occurs to me in the person OF Captain Catley, most
worthy, Intelligent, as well as efficient member of
the POI force OF this city, Upon the complaint OF
an ignorant and over-oilicous groceryman, that u
young man, loWly and freldlcss, and a clerk IN
another like establishment, mad cXcnanged q cOun-
terielt dollar bill with him. he arrested, and
fortunately for him, brought before Captain CaflreY
There was something in the appearance OF the
young man-his open, frank countenance and
straightforward answers-that won upon the heart
OF the worthy Captain, and called into requsitlon
the feelings Of the man, well as the duty OF the
officer, and he resolved to probe the alair to the
bottom. He did so. The complainant swore the
BIN was counterfel: this clerk that tho defendant
passed ia clear case to all appearance. The de-
PENDANT admitted that he exchanged the bill With
the complainant, but If BAD he was ignorant Of IT,
Still the Captain was not satisfied and calling or
his attendants, seat hlnl with the bill TO the bank
The cashier pronounced 1t genuine bill, and the
young man was liberated.
The young man went on his way rejoicing, and
the car tain rejoiced III having done u noble and
praiseWorthy act. f.
