OF natives on shore, the result of which
was ten killed and thirty wounded. The
natives began to throw stones as
they fed up tho hill slopes exposed
to the bullets and when at last
n crowd of them got their spears, and APP
preached the shore, STANLEY cunningly
led them to suppose they were in safety,
and them according to his account, an
other volley was poured into them with
such disastrous effect that they fed in dis
may, and Tour work of punishment was
consummated." Forty-two of them had
been killed aud over n hundred wounded,
while but two of STANLEY's pirates had
been slightly hurt by the stones thrown at
them.
STANLEY got his advantage out OF his
Bumbireh deviltry. He so terrified the
people of the surrounding regions that
they attempted to placate him by furnish
ing his gang with gratuitous supplies of
all kinds in great quantities. The inhab-
itants of an adjacent island sent him
propitiatory Offering" rs he calls 1t, con-
sisting of Ave cattle and four goats, with
honey, milk, eggs, aud bananas; and an
other chief sent word that he had ordered
his people to give him everything he de-
sired, even to loo head OF cattle. The pirate
thus secured his plumber rs the reward of
his bloodshed, and he had at last to COM
plain of the intrusive hospitality of the
natives whom he had spared.
STANLEY tells of still other "battles" In
which all the killing and wounding was on
one side. Finally, one African King assist
ed him in u piratical expedition toward
Lake Albert, by giving him force OF 1000
men; and with this force no invaded a
peaceful region, where he behaved
in an infamous manner; but, fearing
he would rouse resistance, he retreated.
Then he alleges that the same King offered
him force of $1,000 men, with which he
could butcher, ravage, and burn TO his
hearts content; but, for some reason or
other, ne declined the offer.
Now, what right has this bloody-handed
pirate to carry on these murderous and
plundering operations against the inoffen-
sive aud helpless natives OF Central Africa,
under the pretext OF exploring the sources
OF the Nile? Mr.. JAMES GoRDoN BENNETT
sent him there, and pays his expenses
there but is this the kind of work for
which he was employed?

They Ought to be Court-MartiaIed.

| One OF the most VIGOROUSLY corrupt
officials in the service OF the Government
is ISAIAH HASscoM, Chief of the Bureau
of Construction and Repair in the Navy
Department. 1t is from the contracts
made by the corrupt connivancs OF this
man HANSON that RoBEsoN and his
friends have got large share Of their
plumber. With scoundrelly chief, the
opportunities for black mailing contractors
| and engineering plans for stealing have
been great in this bureau. which has spent
since the advent of robson twenty or
thirty millions in mostly useless repairs
and foolish reconstruction of vessels. The
way in which the Republican Congress
| made the appropriations for the navy di-
| rectly helped these plunderers. Instead
OF appropriating money in detail, and for
specific purposes, plainly set forth in the
bill, the money has been given III lump,
and RoDEsoN aud HANScoM have spent It
as best suited their private gain.
This HANsCoM is not only corrupt, but
also an incompetent chief of this bureau.
He is simply II ship carpenter, hrutllly
ignorant Of the science of naval nrchiteo-
ture. All he knows about It is what he
has picked up by heaving timber in ship
yards. IL locked in room by himself,
with pencil and q sheet of blank paper.
he couldn't go through the most element
airy computations necessary in ship build
ing. But he Is just the man for RoBEsoN,
ready TO foster jobs and collect divvies.
Ever since he has been in the place he has
been actively at work in this direction,
and that such has been his employment is
matter of notoriety in the navy.
The Bureau of steam Engineering is
just rs rotten. At its head is the imbccile
WOOD, and RoBEsoN has been able To
plumber right and left to his hearts con
tent If not an actively corrupt man, his
weakness, inefficiency, and mental inca
pacity have enabled those about him TO
mould him like n lump of clay. Since
RoBEsoNs appearance IN the Navy Depart
ment this bureau has squandered aud
stolen millions, and awarded jobbing con-
tracts by the score. The chiefs i'm Success
sion have been a bad lot. First came
Chief Engineer KING, who was so palpably
tricky that RoBEsoN was compelled by one
of his cronies TO put him out. Then came
the notorious Chief Engineer SHOCK. who
Roach. Having done that Job satisfacto-
rly to lionEsoN, he was rewarded with an
order to take n pleasure excursion to Eu-
rope, under tho prctence OF inspecting
marine engines. Then came WOOD,
plastic fellow who was given the Job of
tying up loot for ROBEsoN's ohum WIZARD.
and seeing that RonEsoN's Delaware river
friends were handsomely taken care of
with useless and profitable repairs.
What greatly tends TO establish fraud
and inconpetoncy IN these bureaus is the
circumstance that the law compes their
chiefs 10 be taken from the small number
Of naval constructors and chief engineers,
instead Of opening the places to tho best
SPECIAL talent in the country. Formerly
there was no such restriction, but in 1851 n
httle Ring Inside these corps got law

themselves. This opened the way to an
uninterrupted succession OF inefficiency
and corruption. There Is no reason In ex-
pericnce or common sense why the best
men for the places, whether in or out of
the navy, should not be appointed to
them. In England, where naval affairs
are managed with consummate skill, they
utilize the soundcst aud most brilliant ex-
pert talent they can find in the country,
not combining themselves, rs we do, to u
bevy of half-educated shipwrights and en-
CINE drivers, from which to select these
important officials.
These officers, WooD and HANsCoM, to-
eether with Paymaster BpADFoRD, who
was the instrument IN the JAY COOKE and
MoCULLocH business, ought to be at once
court-martialcd and they would be in any
other naval service in the world. They
nro safe against that, however, so long as
GRANT stays in the White House and
RoBEsoN in the Navy Department. They
will have the same immunity If HAYES is
elected. But IL TILDEN becomes President,
we may expect to see them get their
deserts,

The Degraded Scnnte.

The Republican Senate has stood in the
way of all substantial reforms throughout
the eight months aud half that Congress
has been in session. There is not a redeem
ing feature in the proceedings of the
majority.
Every measure OF the session looking TO
retrenchmeut economy, and Improvement
I'm the civil service, has originated IN the
Democratic House. If measures of this
GLASS have been finally passed, il has hap
pened only after protracted struggle, in
which the Democrats OF the House stood
squarcly up to the work, while the Rcpub-
hcan leaders in the Senate did their best
to defeat them. In the entire history of
the session there cannot be found n soi-
tary exception TO this sweeping remark.
In this respect the present Senate has
made the most infamous record in the
annals of that body.
The Republicans now have n majority
OF nine in the Senate. The terms of seven
teen of the Republican members expire in
March next. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the Democrats will secure
enough OF these seats to give them ma
1ority of two in the next senate. Then.
with n majority of reformers in each
branch of Congress, and with SAM TILDEN
In the White House, the country will turn
over a new leaf indeed.

connections broken up, there would soon
be an end of the collusive frauds and cor
ruption.
The fight had, therefore. to be made on
the Appropriation bill pure and SIMPLE
with WINDOW and LOGAN rs the Republic
can managers on the part of the Senate,
backed by an INSCRIPTIONS majority bent
upon defeating or embarrassing everything
like reform, IL was easy to fOresee what the
result must finally be. After long con-
ference and sharp contest, the bill re-
ported sums up s4,67O, li7.02, or $3.50, 4S7. 30
less than the Senate at first demanded, but
still far short of the mark which the House
desired to reach.
The Senate is responsible for ten millions
of appropriations which the House desired
to reduce, and which "a strict examination
into every part of the public service
showed ought to be reduced, upon any
sound principle Of justice TO the burdened
taxpayers What the House has been able to
accomplish in this direction has been done
in spite OF an organized opposition by the
Republicans in both Houses, by the united
vote of the Republican Senate, and by the
open threats and secret manmuvring of
the President. The people see these things,
and they are not likely to forget them next

We Congratulate Mr.. Blaine.

Mr.. BLAINE, who has taken the stump In
Maine, apparently rs smart, clipper, and
physically vigorous a. ever, Is to be con-
graduated upon his sudden restoration to
health. 1t was so recently that Mr.. BLAINE
felt himself obliged to request n postpone
ment until next session of the invcstiga-
ton Into the charges against his integrity,
that his temperance in active politics is
delightful surprise. We beg Mr.. BLAINE
not to over-exert himself in body or brain,
and remind him that during the short but
severe summers OF Maine the suns rays
are often as intensely hot and the effects
of the weather quite as facilitating Us in
lower ATTITUDES.
BY the way, when we last had the honor
to address the member from the Keunebec
district, he was candidate for Presiden-
tial nomination. There were certain ugly
facts in his record, and certain charges
against his political and personal honesty,
which prevented us from giving him cor
dial support III his ambition. The House
of Representatives saw At to put him upon
trial. MIR. BLAINE's sudden illness not only
puzzled the physicians, but interrupted
this trial Mt a most interesting point
Mr.. BLAINE is not now a candidate for q
Presidential nomination, but he Is a candi-
date for an Office of great honor aud Sc
rious responsibility. He asks the people
of Maine, through their Legislature, to
elect him United states Senator for six
years, beginning on the 4th of next March.
Now we cannot see that the change in Mr..
BLAINE's aspirations has in any way affect
II In, l,,t. ha 10 .
person to becomea Presidential candidate,
and we have the authority OF our good
Republican neighbor, the Times, for say
ing that he is not, lie cannot be ut person
to represent Maine in the United States
Senate.
IL is true that events since his sudden
and unfortunate prostitution have removed
him beyond the jurisdiction of the House.
This fact ought To make him still more re-
luctant to ask the suffrrages OF the people
OF Maine until he has cleared up every
charge that has been brought against him.
Therefore, we notice With sorrow that
Mr.. BLAINE, since he began his campaign
for the Senatorship, has led the discussion
as far away as possible from himself and
TRANSACTIONS with CALDWELL ay.u ruITnfg

he warns his fellow citizens to be watchful
lest emissaries of TILDEN attempt to buy
up their votes. Instead OF throwing light
on the manner in which he earned s72, 500
for obtaining Spencer rifle contract
from SIMON CAMERON, then Secretary OF
War, he expends his newly regained vigor
in denouncing the doctrine OF States
rights. Perhaps he has his reasons for this
choice of topics; but he should remember
that ii Is better to tell the truth than 10 be
Senator.
We began by congratulating Mr. BLAINE
upon the restoration of his health. We
wish we could congratulate him upon the
restoration Of his good name as an honori-
BILE and honest man.
