should conduct warlike operations against .
friendly power-has already been the theme OF
debate IN the House OF Lofas, as LONDON !et-
ter, printed IN these columns to-aay, Will snow;
horu DERBY ~ that gebate d1d not defend
Hobart Pasha's breach Of discipline. but
he gave some precedents in favor OF bis restora-
tion to English honors. 1n his argument, how
ever, the London Neaes says be seemed to say:
True, Turkeys system OF Government ls
bur1esque True, her courts OF Justice are dis
grace to civilization True, the mtseries Of her
Christian population have for generations been
q source OF trouble and pain to Europe Is
there, however, no praise due to the man who has
given her good navy, who has thus far at least
put her in condition to defy the public opinion
OF Europe with impunity, and to maintain her
sovereign right OF msgovernnent and oppres-
sion" The subject is likely to prove source
of unusual interest to the British public. The
Times OF April q says: 1--WE shall see the
full measure OF the anomaly II we ask what
semmcs, Of the Alabama, borne her Majesty's
commission and been in receipt Of ha1f-pay
from her Majesty's Treasury" It is matter
OF record, however, that Capt. Hobart was a-t-
ually engaged in blockade operations during the
late Civil War. He made Charleston the base of
his work, and one authority says that he ran
the blockade at Southern ports eighteen times.
The Important fact remains, however, that Ho-
bart Pasha is the creator as well as the Admiral
OF the Turkish feet. At the end OF 1875 that
fleet consisted of ninety steamers of which
twenty were iron-clads, the greater number Of
them having been built In England, Two OF
these ironclads are each 332 feet long. built on
the broadside principle, and have on the main
deck a battery 148 feet long, containing twelve
eiphteen-ton Guns, throwing 0-pound shot. Two
others are 5otable Tor their sneed and heavy
a5mor. The entire navy in 1875 VAS manned By
I'D. COO sailors md 1000 marine troops. What
eoever credit is earned by this showing belongs
in large mart to Hobart Pasha. What the atti-
