Naval Ahira

The views Of the committee ON
naval affairs signed by Representatives
Harris, Dsufurd snd Hayes WAS pres
ented to-day in the house. The min.
ority severely cri.ivise tho majority
report, alleging that /, is unfair in its
statement, fallaciuus 10 ito conclusions,
is evidently promoted by partisans
especially ingnores entirely the testi-
mony fayorable TO the navy depart
ment, and perverts other portions in
such way q to ,af,ct gross injustice
upon the secretary and other officers.
In reply to the charge Of the majority
.as TO alleged determination of the
navy under the present administration
the minority show that the navy is
to dny in more efficient condition
than it has been At Any time since
1869, notwithstanding limited means
placed at the disposal of the secretary.
The policy OF rebuilding vessels that
would have soon become useless, is
defended by the minority as eeonomi-
cal, prudent and judicious.
Tee secretary deserves the iiIanks
Of the entire country not to censure
fer this. All the testimony. proves
that the secretary has never even en-
deavored to influence any purchase or
contract, either directly or Indirectly,
by intimidation or otherwise. The
charge by the majority that the SEQ
retary.had used government material
and labor of employees for his own
private benefit is pronounced hy the
minority ~ frivolous and unsuppatt-
ed. Cattell's practice of levying per-
centages on contractors was cAr,ied

vigorously 9pptaed il when he learn

Congressional
nenate.

WAsHlNGros, July 26- The i'm
pcschmeni resumed, and Mr-Carpen-
ter continued for the defense.
Mr.. Belkpap knew where the
money came from, and for what pur-
pose. There Was the Tribune article,
the letter Of Grierton, and an order of
McDoneh, Of which Belkuap knew.
yet for these things he received ten
distinct and corporate payments, ~
gifts they were called by the learned
counsel, Mr.. Blair. Nonsense maa
who received gift from friend WAS
generally proud Of II, as an evidence
+ef being appreciated by his friend,
but these gifts were all kept out of
sight. llttcy came under the hexd of
addition, division and silence. Why
did Gen. Brlknap resign the Office Of
secretary of war, il Innocent? Why
did he go down Hike the oak before
the whirlwindy Didni he know that
fif All innocent man, he could still be
secretary Of war; and no man would
attempt TO turn him out on sccount OF
his wife dealing in post:irsderships.
This resignation was confession Of
his guilt. His counsel had pat in
special plea that the resignation Of
Gen. BelLnap vas in pursuance OF
contract with Clymer, chairman Of
the house committee on expenditures
in the war department Clymer was
on the stand. Why did NOT the coun-
sci for the defense attempt to prove
the fact by him. If the plea was
true it WAS beosuse they knew IT was
false. ~ "a -
He denied that Belknap had re-
cefved money, with interest, to have
his Official action swerve1, and with
out that intent there WAS no crime.
Carpenter argued that Bclknap bsd
not committed any crime, aud even If
be Ind ,skrn \ bribe the courts there
in the dtstfict were adequate to deal
with him. He cited many legal au-
thorities upon jurisdiction TO show
that the senate had no jurisdiction in
this case. He argued that the senate
had i perfect, right in lis final aecis-
ion "a consider that question again
sud reserve lis d-c;sioa already made.

Within a few weeks several curious sui
cides have occurred. A young man named
Jefery celebrated the Fourth In q novel way
At the Palmer House, In Chicago. He con-
cluded, "just for the fun of the thing,n as he
said In a letter which be Left behind him, to
commit suicide, and made the most elabo-
rate preparations for so doing. These ar
rangements included the taking Of poison.
shooting, throat-cutting, cremation, and
parboiliDg In a bath OF hot water. he was
quite successful In carrying out all of his
plans except those relating TO cremation and
parboiling, the other means being quite suf-
ncient TO aid him in shuffiIng off his mortal
coil. 1t is, of course, reasonable to suppose
that the young man was wholly dementei,
since In the letter which he wrote before
taking his own life he Contemplated his ar
raDgements with insane glee. A case some
what similar TO this, at least In elaboration,
occurred In the west a few weeks since. In
this case the suicide erected. after much time
and trouble, diabolical machine after the
style OF the guillotine, a heavy axe being so
arranged as 20 fall from above and sever the
neck on the pulling OF q certain cord. The
experiment was success, the head being
subsequently, found entirely severed from

The present would seem to be good time
for the government to try the experiment
that has long been urged by frontiersmen,
viz: TO let the volunteer troops Of the border
states and territories settle the Indian ques-
ton. Moet persons best qualified to judge
hold stoutly to the opinion that soldiers re-
cruited in those localities for that special
service make better Indian fighters than
the regular army, the officers OF which are
hampered too much by old traditions and
unyielding notions of military science for
rough and tumble fighting, amouscades, and
all that sort OF thing. As the regular army
Is evidently not large enough for the pres
emit emergency, Ii might be well enough to
withdraw IL from the Indian country alto
gether, and let the border volunteers 60 in
and solve the problem their own way,-the
general government retaining charge of the
commissary, quartermaster, and pay de-
partments, and putting the volunteers on
the same footing as the regular troops, so
far as stores, pay, etc, are concerned. With
the highest possible regard for the regular
army, We are constrained to believe that an
Indian war carried on In this way would be
cheaper, shorter, aud more effective In Its re-
suits than If carried on under the rules laid
down by Jomini. A little variation couldn't
do much damage, any way.
