MESS REGULATIONS IN THE NAvY-THE sECRE-
TARY OF TaE NAvYs NEW ORDER.
A recent circular Of tho Secretary of the Navy,
under date OF September A. in relation to the gov
crnment of messcs board ship. is causing great
deal OF feeling among the staff officers who claim
that it is contrary to "Navy Regulations. 1885,
and to a previous decision of the Secretary on
similar question. The regulations prescribe that
''each mess OF officers will select caterer whose
duty it shall be preside at the table and to
manage aud direct all the affairs OF the mess.

NJ. Is. IIarrell, Editor.

SENATOR WARE, of this district, has fum-
\ ished, for the columns of his home paper, a
synopsis of the work thus far performed by
the Scnate-an attention that his constitu.
ents will appreciate. The editor, in dis.
cussing the more prominent measures, says
that the act providing for employing petty
criminals upon the streets and roads should
become law. The tax for supporting
lazy thieves in Jail would be diminished
and there would be a check upon these
criminals, who would not fancy working
in chain gang. The contemplated con
stitutonal amendments are also OF
great Importance, to-wit: elccting Sheriff
and Treasurer for four years. and making
them ineligible for the succeeding term.
The proposition, relieving real estate from
State tax is working we'll practically, IN
Pennsylvania, and would be just to all por
tons Of the State. The Illinois Central r.
r. Co., pays sufficient tax to the State for
all the lands, and they should be exempt
from State taxation; in fact this large reye-
enue from this company should pay all the
State expenditures, now that the public
buildings are all completed, and the State
very little in debt The Legislature are
now at work to some purpose and if they
will shut down on new bills this month
they can get through with business in six
days and return home in time for harvest,
