Onc OF the early duties OF OONEIcss

Under the administration Of the navy by
SECoR RoBEsoN AN immense aud dangerous
abuse has grown up which requires prompt
aud radical correction; and the statute
proposed above Is designed to accomplish
that end.
This abuse consists in the conversion
OF naval vessels into family residences
and boarding houses for the wives and
children of officers. We are Informed that
the list OF vessels so employed includes
the Benicia, Colorado, Congress, Frolc,
Jamestown, Independence. Michigan, Miu-
ncsota, Monongnhela, New Hampshire,
Ohio, Omaha, Sabine -. Mary's, ITALIA
poosn Tennessee, and others; and that all
the steamers OF the coast survey are sini-
larry used.
Some other abuses which have marked
SEcoR RouEsONs career nj the head of the
navy are OF IA grOsscr nature, and require
more radical treatment. Though almost
innumorable in form, but identical in
nature, these abuses may be described
under the general title of stealing; and the
House II Representatives should explore
them without mercy. But RoBEsoNs con-
version of national ships into floating
lodging houses and nurseries needs no spe-
cial investigation, and may be remedIed on
general principles by such an act rs we
| propose.

said that it were well Il the North
ern States and people and press
led the way in resentipg outrages
doae by Sheridan Tie North has spoken,
even Boston; and now Boston and Texas,
we would fam hope, may stand side by
side, as did our fathers Of the oidcn time,
in resennng the grossest outrage ever done
civil liber.y when peace reigned in America.
The Office involved at Vicksburg is trifing,
the men and courts obscure, but this OBJ
seure sheriff and that depraved II cowardlY
court are, for the moment, representations
Of popular and local freedom in America.
The Texas Legislature may now amend its
resolutions Of protest and condemnation
affecting Sheridan, and declare its purpose,
If the elder States cooperate, to resist. BIZ

LOUIS LIE CoAPTE, from Australia, is
bringing half dozen Australian alpaca
sheep 70 Texas. BE, or a friend for him,
writes TO know whether the Legislature
will continue backing and filling, and
wiring in and wiring out, to leave mankind
still in doubt, whether the snnke that
makes the track is going North or coming
back. In other words, if the International
is TO die at the hands Of those who would
still be deemed ITS friends and moufners at
its funeral, Mr.. Lie Compile would be ad-
vised of the fact. If the road is to be
built to San Antonio, he would buy land in
that vicinity; if not built he would find a
home where railways give access to civiliza-
ton aud freedom from Mexican depreda-
tons and Comanche atrocities.

THE GREAT AND THE LITTLE
PEOPLE.

How greatly we need, and the South
needs, the Trans-Continental, is shown in
the fact that at this very hour the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific roads are both
blocked with snow, and impossible. II
Texas were under no contract, moral OF
legal, TO build the International; if Yves
tern Texas were not entitled to the boon
if it were an original proposition, the State
should at once build the road diagonally
across the State, that it may give the world
its quickest, shortest and cheapest route
across the continent. There are people
welding power who never move save as it
affects their own little schemes OF personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT or ambition They cannol
see the needs of the State, still less those Of
the whole country. There are few states
men, and many little politicians.

THE words Estate sovereignty" are alb
horrent to Northern notions and sensibili,
ties. The North cannot appreciate, even
yet, the outrage done Louisiana. In fact
the North does not wholly admit that south
ern communities have been invested, since
their conquest, with Statehood. Therefore
the outrage perpctrated at New Orleans was
not universally resented. Events at Vicks-
burg viii show what the North thinks OF
the final dissolution of old theories and
systems OF American local governments,
The end comes or the States must now as
sert freedom and integrity.

AS THE STATESMAN anticipated, when
advising delay on tho part of the Texan
Legislature, the Washington Chronicle
sounds the alarm, and another rebellion is
inaugurated because the Virginia Legisla-
ttTe enters simple protest, and asserts
condemnation Of Phil Sheridan's deeds in
New Orleans. The harm done consists only
in the fact that it checks expression of true
Northern sentiment, and no good is done
here by hot haste.
