Our Ruined Navy.

The Republicans are hopeful that Demo-
cratic exposure OF corruption win stop
short OF anything like completeness be-
cause of alleged Democratic completely In
the frauds to be investigated. 1t IL true
that all Rings formed in party in the ma
jority are usually shrewd enough to link
with them members of the minority with
itching palms, or whose political ambitions
the Rings can serve. This was so with the
Tammany Ring, and now II is claimed
that the Navy Department Ring has shut
the mouths of prominent Democrats by
the granting of favors TO them.
This we do not believe. The best way OF
proving that these stories are calumnies
is for Mr.. RANDALL and Mr. wnITTHoRNE
TO probe every corrupt corner in the Navy
Department and follow SECoR RoBEsoN
into all his haunts and hiding places. lie
is foxy fellow, but he can be caught.
He has not thrown away fifty or sixty
millions in worthless work on ships, pro-
ducing nothing new or valuable with all
the money, without leaving some tracks
which are discoverable, indicating corrupt
bargains with contractors like JOHNNY
Roach and the Delaware River Ring.
Where has all the money he has spent,
all the hundred and more Millions gone
tor The navy, as every well-informed Off
Ger of it will tell the committee, is I'm
lamentable condition, both rs respects
ships and armament. The ironclads are
so armored that the guns which are afoat
by the hundred in foreign navies could
send their shells through their turrets IL IL
they were of pasteboard. Yet this man
has pretended to spend enough on these
vessels TO put them in proper condition.
With very few exceptions tho wooden
vessels are miserably slow, as the faroical
naval review at Key West abundantly
proved.
We need only small navy; but what
we do have should, rs in former times, be
model ships, with ornaments uncxcelled.
Once our navy officers were proud OF their
vessels and their guns, and an American
man-of-war was known the world over rs
a perfect craft, always in complete order
and under thorough discipline. Now il is
a slow and wheezy tub, the butt OF foreign
ridcule, and devoted TO the glorious task
of shelterlng officers and their babies.
In the whole administration of GRANT
there Is nothing more disgrnoeful than the
Generalization Of the navy and the lower
ing of the standard of our naval construc-
tons once the highest types of marine
architecture. Yet money has been np-
propriated for it by millions, and stolen by
SEcoR robson and his confcderates.

not do for such man as Judge TAFT is be-
hcved to be.
The new Secretary win he urged 10 ar
raign BABCoCK on account Of the 81. Louis
whiskey conspiracy, and TO leave these
fraudulent measurements of his untouched.
This, too, Is such u course as BrLKNAP or
RoBEsoN might be expected TO takes but
IL will not do for Judge TAFT. St Louis Is
far away, and the whiskey conspiracy has
had one trial; but the measurement frauds
were committed in Washington, and the
question of BABcocK's guilt in connection
with them has never been subjected to u
military investigation. III BABooCK had
been man of honor, or If the President
had been man of honor, or If the Score
tary of War had been man OF honor, this
question would have been tried thoroughly
and unspariugly long ago. Now, Judge
TAFT Is believed to be n man of honor; and
this belief may be confirmed or deter
mined by his conduct in regard to this
very subject.

Judge Tan,s First Duty,

Judge TAFT, the new Secretary OF War,
need not be in any doubt about the first
duty which he ought to perform as soon as
he is fairly installed in his Office.
This duty is to order military court for
the trial of ORvILLE Il. BABCocK, Major of
Engineers, on the charge OF conspiring to
1efraud the United States Treasury by
means of false measurements of work done
by various contractors in streets and places
around buildings belonging to the United
States in Washington. The aggregate of
these frauds for which BABcoCK is respon-
tibe is more than million of dollars, but
the magnitude of the amount makes no
difference either in the guilt or in the
proper punishment of the criminal.
In ordering this court, it is the duty OF
Judge TAFT TO see that it is composed of
men who will try fairly, and, above all,
fearlessly try. the question submitted to
them. A military court organized to ac-
quit and whitewash, whatever the nature
of the evidence, might do for such Score

BELKNAP AND MS FRIEND.
The Most Illuminating Incident Of the Secre-
inry's Arrcst.

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-Even Boss
Shepherd and IIaett Kiloourne deserted Bel
knap In nj. hour OF trial. When friend went to
them and asked them to go on Belknap's bond
they put their heads together and said, 1t
would not look we'll" The Boss always aban-
dons his victims In their hour Of trial. He sug-
aested, though, that bis friend and faYorite con-
tractor, DIN A. Connolly, would do II. This
was a cruel cut for BelknaD. Even the champion
plunderer said " would not look we'll to 90 on
tho bond Of tho fallen War Minister that ID m
Connolly, his next beat friend, would have to do
". SO the illustrous Oily Cook, who had elect
ed himself counsel for Babcock aud Belknap.
too, anupunced Ia the Police Court that Mr..
Daniel A. Connolly would 90 bail for Mr.. Bel
KNAPP But even Daniel did rot come 60 time, and
II began to look a. N the great War Minister Of
a few days ago had not even thief or . con-
tractor to do him reverence.
One must know Connolly TO appreciate him.
He has been contractor under the Ring ever
since Boss Shepherd seized upon this District.
He purchased nearly block OF houses OF shep-
herd on Second street, just above PENNSYLVANIA
avenue, tnd was, OF course, given some OF the
latest contracts. About eighteen months ago,
while Fisher and Dick Harrington ran the Grim
inal Court business In this city, this man Con-
molly was indicted JOINTLY with a rough OF tho
name OF Charley Hurdle, Tor assault and battery
with intent to kill one James W. Humphrey, a
respectable and peacelble man. The case not
being called, an examination Of the records was
made, and II appeared that nolo prosequl had
been entered without the knowledge Of the
plaintiff or prosecuting witness.
The records Of the Police Court will also show
that this same man Connolly is under bonds TO
appear before the Criminal Court for assault and
battery with intent to kill oourtezap. The Inter
offence committed about the time Fisher
went out OF Office. Billy Evans was then Con-
nollys counsel, but nothing has been heard OF
the case. such Ia the man Billy Cook proposed
to offer as bail for Belknap's appearance, though
he could not be found when he was wanted.

Mr.. IInott,s Dill.

Mr.. KNoTr Of Kentucky seems TO be Of
opinion that legislation is n panacea for all
evils. What is the difhcultyT 1t matters
not: n new law will afford remedy.
A man implicated in the bribery
Of Cabinet officer, after testt-
flying to his own crime and shame, goes
off to Canada. His absence embarrasses
and delays all further proceedings in the
case. Mr.. KNOTT wants him back. He
proposes the enactment of q law provid-
ing that II any person shall be required
to testify, against his protest, before either
House Of Congress, or any committee
thereof or the Senate sitting as a Court
Of impeachment, and shall so tes-
tify under protest, he shall not
thereafter be held TO answer oriminally in
any court Of justice, or be subject TO any
penalty or forfeiture, Tor any act con-
corning which he shall be so required TO
testify.
OF course unless the act be crime he
would not be liable to prosecution without
this enactment. What the proposed legis-
lation really amounts to. therefore, is par
don for crimes. The Constitution vests
the power of pardon in the President.
Does Congress possess this power also :
This is a question OF no small importance,
and well worth considering pending the
passage of Mr.. KNOTS bill.
Mr. KNOTT further proposes TO provide
by law that any person who, being absent,
shall remain absent, when he is wanted TO
testify, shall be deemed guilty of n crime,
and punishable by n fine not exceeding one
thousand dollars, or by imprisonment not
exceeding three years, or by both of said
punishments.
d. This provision, rs well as that which we
have ali cady discussed, is avowedly in
tended to meet the case of Mr.. MARSH,
who, after having eliminated himself be-
fore Congressional Committee. has fed
to Canada. lie is now absent. If he shall
remain absent, the proposed law declares
him guilty of crime. Remain where
In Canada. Then where is the crime COM
mittedf In Canada, of course. Does the
jurisdiction Of Congress extend over Cam
ada? Alas, brave Keutuckian, the paw of
the British lion rests iiDpudently upon the
Dominion yet
The grave and pervading evils Of adj
ministration under which the country
labors cannot be cured by crude and
hasty legislation. Mr.. KNOTT may
be very lusty war horse; but he rushes
into battle with more speed than dlscre-
ton, and consequently is not so sure, in
the long run, TO come off victor.

plauaton OF the schenck scandal complication

ton Schenck catled: II again tender my resig-

fall was asking too much. II the President had

4 EDICTION.
Tue President GLOOMY and Dependent
shadow Of Impending Disaster.


WASHINGTON, March 9.-The develop
ments of the last week have produced more
effect upon the President probably than any
thlng which has ever happened during his term
OF office. IL Is plain now to perceive that be-
meath his imperturbaollity there Is an uneasi-
ness and a dIsquiet which have never before
troubled him. since the fall Of Belknap, he has
seen but very few visitors outside OF Senators
and members, and the business he has with
them he despatches AS soon as possible. He
has refused since last Thursday to see several
distinguished persons. An air OF gloom aud de-
snondency seems to hang around the White
House When the President goes out, he keeps
his eyes downcast and does not seem TO care TO
recognize any one. With the very few persons
TO whom he talks conhdentiRlly, he admits tn Il
he Is not IN happy frame OF mind. He seems
10 realize what was said by one OF his friends on
the day OF Belknap's resignation, that the bot
tom has been knocked clear out VI the third
term. Whether he sees in Belknap any signs Of
Impending disaster to himself Is known only to
HIMSELF but IL Is beginning TO be whispered
around that the very on.nc Of which Belknap
stands convicted IN the ewes of the world will
be brought directly home to the President. IL
was SAID To night by person supposed TO be
well informed that within three months Gen.
Grant woGld he convicted and removed from
Office by the vote OF Republican Senate.

General Horace Porter should be Investi-
gnIed Along with BabcocL.

WAsuINGroN, March 10. - While the
transactions af Orvlle e. Babcock-such as his
alleged use OF hts position as military secretary
Of the President for the purpose OF selling
places, in conspiring TO cheat the revenue in
crooked whiskey, and IN obtaining dIvvies out
OF all kinds of Illicit jobs-are being looked up,
care should also be taken to inquire into tho
doings OF his predecessor, Gen. Horace Porter,
in the same direction. Porter Ia deeper than
Dabcock, but equally corrupt and has acoumu-
lated an immense fortune by tho same kind OF
means. 1t Is expected that his case will shortly
DO taken in hand by the proper committee OF
the House OF Representatives.

An instance of the protligacy which has

In Washington, and the contempt OF Congress
which has been shown even by suhordinates in

ance OF an act OF Congress. For this build
ing, which, exclusive of the ground, cost the

not only without authority OF law but Ia opposi-
uon to formal prohibition by Congress.
