But it il said that men who subscribed to gifts
have been appointed to Office, and the insinua-
ton is that they were appointed because they
subscribed to gifts
The fact that hundreds who gave have never
been appointed to anything would of itself seem
to disprOve the charge that official patronage
has been used to repay gifts. Only three-or at
most four-contlibutOrs to the funds raised for
Gen. Grant have ever been offered appolnt-
ments, and it would seem far-fetched to explain
the selection of three for reason applying to

Japan "a a Naval Nation.

a report ythe captain Of Russian
corvette Boyarin published in the
| CornstoH Messenger, gives some curl
Gus details on the present state of the
naval armaments of Japan. On the
l4ih Of July, 1871 (he says) five Jap
anese ships Of war entered the harbor
Of Yokohama. One Of these ships is a
corvette &c English construction, armed
with six long cast iron guns and two
bronze guns. Tue second ship is an
iron clad ram, the Stonewall Jackson,
formerly part of the American Confed
crate feet 1t is armed with a three
hundred FOUNDER aud two Armstrong
rifcd seventy FOUNDERS. The three
other vessels are screw gunboats of
Engli h construction, each armed with
three guns. The crews of these ves-
sells are composed exclusively Of Japan
nse, with uniform exactly the same as
that of English sailors. On the 2Sth
Of March a casematcd japanese cor
vette, the Reuzeokan, armed with
eight guns, also entered the harbor.
The japanese army is equipped and
armed in the French manner, and its
rifles arc according to the Abb nj sys-
tenn. In the Gulf Of Yeddo there Is
an arsenal, situated on terrace cut
into the side Of a mountain. This ar
senal is provided with large dock
four hundred and seven feet long,
eighty two feet wide, and twenty one
feet deep. The largest ocean steamer
can enter it for repairs The water is
exhausted in ten hours by three large
steam pumps. It's construction oceu-
pied eighteen months, aud cost the
japanese Government $240,000.
Thirty vessels have already been re
fitted in this dock. Another dock of
smaller dimension is being contructed,
by the side of the first, for ships of
Of small tonnage. The Admiralty also

forge, steam saving machine, and
all the appliances necessary for repair
ing ships. Engines and boilers are now
being constructed for river steamers.
The building are all of wood; they are
not supplied with much machinery,
but what they have is sufficient for the
wants Of the harbor. This small es
tablishment will evidently never become
the naval arsenal of Japan, but it
forms an excellent nucleus for the young
japanese feet, and will afterward be of
great use for the squadron which the
japanese Government is apparently
about TO keep up in the neighborhood
of the capital The arsenal was built
by FRENCH engineer, NJ. Verny, who
has been retained as a manager of the
establishment. Thirty Brenchmen are
attached to it in the capacity Of fore~
men, assistants, and Instructors. The
maintenance of the works costs $780,.
