The MYSTERY EXPLAINED.-The selection OF
the Secretary Of the Navy from Indiana has oc-
casioned much comment, and it puzzles most
persons to understand what citizen of that Sec
tion of the country is supposed to know about
naval affairs. They do not seem to he aware
that Indiana is one of the greatest maritime
States, and that Dick Thompson has had rare
opportunity Of becoming acquaiuted with naval
science. He has resided at Terre Haute for ma
ny years, on the banks of the Wabash. This
stream was, until within a recent period, navi-
gable . portion of the year for ight-drsnghs
stern-wheel steamboats, as high up - Lafayette
Take modern boy living near navigable
stream, and, although he may never have trav-
elled q mile on steamboat, what he does not
know about stezmboating, from the pilOt-houss
down to the mate, is not worth knowing 1t
may be supposed, then, that an intelligent, OBJ
servant man like Col. Thompson would not neg
lect to improve his opportunities. Terre Haute
10 also % the Wabash Csnsi.ssThis afforded an
other rich field for study and exercise. Doubt
less, Mr.. Thompson, many . day, worked his
passage on the canal, by walking on the tow
path and driving the horses, and improved the
opportunity of observing the workings of great
navy. He likewise possessed advantages for
astboating equal to those of Abraham Lincoln,
(who, by the way, once invented . model for .
steambost) To crown all, he is . splendid talk
er aud story teller, and whenever he has any
thug to communicate, hu can tell it to the ms
rines. .7a

n Senator Plumb has started out right. He
voted for the admission Of Kellogg - Senator
from Louisiana. If Packard is not the legal
Governor and Kellogg the legal sonator Of Lou
isians, the vote of the State for Hayes was not
legal; for it all came about from the same can
vass by the Returning Board. In South Caro-
lima, there is more room for doubt, for all agree
that Hampton ran considerably ahead of Til
