Mr.. w. II. HOWARD. Of Texas, who
was yesterday nominated for Surveyor
General of Washington Territory, is an
educated and accomplished gentleman, of
great energy of character and perse-
verance which is admirably adapted to
new country. His Republicanism was
rather too genuine and of a nature too
radical to suit the Texan climate, consc-
quently he felt impelled to migrate from
that State after several years hard service
and the accumulation of considerable in
tcrcsts there on account of violent dangers
which threatened his physical well-being.
He left in such haste as to excite suspicious
on the part of clique Of his neighbors
that he did not desire such an escort to the
station of his departure as they had pro-
posed to give him. So anxious were they,
however, in regard to his welfare q that
they visited his residence and made search
for him. Being satisfied that he had left
the ncighbOThood, they then searched for
his minor son. in order to visit upon him
I'll. = nolItt attentions which the chivalric
TeX,-3 80 delight to lavish upon Republi-
can carpet baggers. If his mother had not
an1iously and sagaciously smuggled her
boy to place of safety in disguise he
would, no doubt, have been utilized as
warning to all other young Texans that
they should not adopt Republican carpet
baggers as fathers. Mr.. Howard will find
more congenial and less demonstrative
friends in Washington Territory. They
will give him fraternal welcome, and
will not ostracise him or his family ON &C
count of political differences of opinion.
Religious and political opinions are al
lowed to circulate as freely on the Pacific
coast as the salubrious breezes of the
ocean. Men and families are estimated
there at their true value as citizens rather
than on account of similarity of opinion in
politics and religion. The country is new
and all corners of industry, energy, intelli-
gencc and culture are cordially welcomed.

the sad mistake of consulting the Consti-

lying dormant on the Clerks desk in the

NAVY DEPARTMENT, J
WASHINGTON, June q, 1870.


General Order No. 2l3:
At a general cOurt-martial, convened at the
navy yard at Norfolk, Virginia, on the eth OF
June 1876 was arraigned and tried James A.
Ring. an assistant paymaster in the navy, upon
the charges of conduct unbecoming an officer
and gentleman" and persistent and continued
violation of the regulations of the Norfolk navy
yard" and was found guilty of these charges,
though in less degree than charged, and SEN
fenced as follows:
To be suspended from rank and duty for the
term Of six 10y months from the date of approval
Of this sentence; to be paid during that period
the rate of nine hundred dollars 5000 per annum,
and to he reprImanded in General Orders by the
honorable Secretary of the Navy"
The proceedings, finding and sentence are ap-
proved, TO take effect from the date of this order
In carrying out that part Of the sentence which
relates to reprimand 1t is necessary to advert to
the fact that the Secretary of the Navy is now
called on Tor the second time within a period of
James A Ring. cOnfOrmably to sentence OF gen.
eral court martial, General Order No. lbs, dated
in September last, contains the first of these rep
rimands
1t is TO he regretted that the sense OF shame pro-
duced IN the accused by that order has not been
strong enough to prevent him from committing
further otfenses, and from thus doubly dishonor-
ing himself and the naval service.
Every officer in the navy should cherish a re-
spect for authority, law, regulation and gentle
manly decOrum. Mr. Ring has, as this and the
gard for this duty, but a want of selfrespect
greatly to be deplOred, and must now, therefore,
be again published, an offender, in every navy
yard wal station and on every ship in commits

will be seen that evidence was ELECTED
which would warrant the finding of thou
sands of indictments for violation of the
election laws of the State during the late
election. In view of the late decision Of
the Supreme Court as to the deficiency of
appropriate legislation to enforce the
CONSTITUTE Jnal amendments relating to fran
chise, it is presumed the grand jury failed
to present indictments in these cases. The
attention of Congress is therefore invited to
the necessity of perfecting legislation to
insure the requisite protection Of voters
from intimidation and violence. Will
