We REGRET to learn that the Democrats
IN some portions Of Virginia are adopting

absence does not viti;stc State residence or

which his indictment Ly the oaths OF his
Old Democratic neighbOgs discloses. A

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL, 1870. (
CC'c,'H Gr,i,.' 40. POI.
The service is reminded that the rank of all
officers is established by the statute law of the
country, and that the rank OF officers of the
staff corps, as fixed 10y law, is derived from the
same authority as that fixed by law for the
officers Of the line: therefore, on all occasions
OF official courtesy, where it is customary to
Interchange personal salutes, it is lie duty of
the junior in rank to first salute his senior,
whether of the line or staff, provided, however,
that the officer actually in command of the
ship is entitled to the respect due to that po-
sitioD, whatever may be his rank or seniority.
Hereafter on board of all vessels of the Navy
on all occasions of general muster, inspections,
quarters, reviews and like occasions and cere-
monies, the officer at the time in actual COM
maDd of the ship shall himself be present, and
he shall receive in person, as commanding
officer, the reports customary on such occa-
sions direct from the heads of departments
and officers Of divisions.
All commissioned officers of the navy at
tached to a vessclof-war, when desiring leave
from the ship, shall obtain the required per-
mission from the commanding officer, and
upon their return report the same to him
through the officer of the deck.
Officers senior in rank to the aid or eXecu-
tive are not required to inform the aid or ex-
ecutive Of their departure from or their return
to the ship. This is the duty of the officer of
the deck, who will communicate such in
formation to the aid or executive.
All orders and regulations of the navy in
consistent with this order are hereby abro-
gated to the extent they are so inconsistent.

Secretary of the Navy.

LNTE ADvICE> from the Rocky noun
tains show that the Union Pacific is again
blockadcd by snow banks. Passenger
trains were burrowing through immense
drifts, and thousands of tons of freight
were waiting for thaw. If the weather
clerk would indicate just when these OBJ
structions would occur the evil would be
far less. But the uncertainty or this sub
!jcct renders 1t dangerous for travellers or
shippers TO use this route during one
fourth of the year Then comes up the
curious Conundrum, if this route can earn
nearly $40, 000 coo a year in spite of these
distractions, how much Of that amount is
extorlion: and how much is used to pre-
vent the building of a line free from phYsi-
cal and climatic Instructions The people
have made up their minds to destroy by
heaithful competition this monopoly of
grcenbacks and snow banks by building an
open highway TO the Pacific on line free
from deep SHOWS and high mountains, and
on route that will add countless millions
to the wealth Of the nation. An avalanche

Such 4 man may be found in the person of

with any truth: 1t will be of no avail for B. B.

he consents to run, he will get every honest
