Naval Matters.

Admiral Joseph Lanman, late commander of
the South American fleet, has been placed on
the retired list by reason of long and faithful
service His retirement promotes Commander
Alexander Pennock, now commanding at the
Portsmouth, N. H. navy yard, and Rear Ad-
miral Capt r. H. Wyman, in charge of the
photographic office here is to be Commodore.
There will be no promotion to fill the vacancy
caused by Wyman's promotion, which reduces
the list of captains to fifty, the number requir-
ee by law. t
The contracts under bids for furnishing nav
al supplies will be awarded the latter part Of
next week. The supplies to be furnished are
very large, embodying all kinds of materials
used in the construction of ships in all the navy
for the present fiscal year. 1t is probable that
as soon as the contracts are awarded, work at
the navy yards will become more active.

VERY NCoRRECT-Through wrong in
formation city Journal Sunday morning
stated that one Currie, arrested for raising
Mississippi State warrants, was deputy
naval officer for this port. As Hon. iona
C. White has acceptably filed the functions
of that important office for about ten years,
tits not quite fair that such an item as the one
referred to should go abroad and find no
one to contradict it. We take great pleas
IRE in stating that never, since New Or
leans was created port Of entry under the
American flag, has the naval office been SO
well managed as it has been under Colonel
Charles Dillingham; and his upright deputy,
Mr.. White From the day Colonel Dilling-
ham was appointed up to the present date,
the naval Office has been managed to the
entire satisfaction Of all in any manner
concerned. Should even a rumor gain cur
rency that either of these gentlemen
was to he removed, we venture to predict
shat a list Of the best commercial names, as
lone as Tchoupitoulas street, would in an
aour's notice be signed to strong protest
against such proceeding. When cur c1tI-
gems find efficient and prompt officials they
know how to protect them. Colonel Dill
bingham is a son of a former governor OF
Vermont, and a relative Of Senator NJ, Car
penter. He has held his present office sev-
eral years, and in no single instance has a
word Of fault been uttered against him. AS
for Mr.. White, his active deputy, all who
know him know that he is incapable of com
hitting wrong. His life has been one Of
usefulness, and his best talent has been de.
voted to the interests of Louisiana ever
since lis majority.
