Birth Of tn. American Navy.

1t is not, perhaps, generally known where
and under what circumstances the American
navy was born. To supply place, there
fore, in the early history of that gallant arm
of National service. it may be Il matter ct
interest if your correspondent should state
the leading facts in relation to this subject
Before our Independence was achieved but
on the first year of its Declaration, when the
war of the Revolution had actually been in
auguratcd, the Colonial Congress at Water
town, Mass, by its committee, had entered
into contract with two responsible shipwrights
by the name of Drew, residing in the little
town of Kingston. on Jones River, small
tide water stream, to construct two armed
brigantines, to aid the Revolutionary cause.
for ocean service in prosecuting the cause
upon the high seas. and confded them both
one after the other, to skiltul ship-master.
Simeon Sampson, Esq, citizen of that
town. The first was named the ''Indepen-
dcnce," expressive of the cause for which
she was built, and the other the Mars" for
the Goddess of War, in whose service she was
consecrated. Whilst our forces by sea were
first committed to Capt. Sampson, the first
naval officer ever commissioned by the gov
eminent, whilst also the forces on land were
under command in various quarters, of two
Major Generals belonging to the same To-
calty. This was within hailing distance of
the Pilrgim Rock, wherein the Forefathcr,
were landed from the ay-Flower-a suita-
bic birthplace for the Navy that has never
failed to honor the land which they originally
settled and congregatcd to by christian civil
lization. They were substantially built
vessels. BY some means, the writer cannot
say what, the independence was lost at
sea, att.r which Capt Sampson took COM
mand Of the Mars. In both ships he proved
himself brave man. He captured several
valuable prizes and their cargoes, which were
sold and the avails turned over to the Revo-
lutionary cause The contractors who built
both ships were brothers, living near each
other at the 'Ianding'' on Jones River, and
were faithful men. Their names were Will
liam and James. William was lame man.
and sustained an Office in the Revenue SER
vice. lie was the grandfather of Rev. W.
A. Drew of this city.
The navy was the favorite child of the old
Federal party, and was an object of dearest
interest to both administrations of Washing
and Adams. But Jefferson, who succeeded
Adams, was no friend to the Navy and after
he came into power he caused the frames OF
several vessels, which Adams had projected
to be sold, and the timber and other materials
converted isso gun boats, which Jefferson
said were ensugk for the defence of our sea.

to Congress nor is such authority needed for
the execution of its purposes If, by the an
thority given to Congress to coin money and
regulate the value of foreign coins the right
of Congress to issue legal-tendcr notes can be
made, ! can conceive of no act of tyranny
which il might not pass under the same au-
thority. / am not unmndful OF the fact
that the United States Supreme Court has de-
cided that nited States notes are legal tend
er. The decision was by a divided court. and
il means that there are circumstances which
make necessity superior TO the constitution ;
that Congress under the pressure of great
emergency. NAV make government obligations
legal tender and that it alone is competent to
decide when such emergencies exist; and
there is no intimation in that decision that
this power can be lawfully exercised in times
of peace. The notes have no intrinsic value,
and they are not regarded and treated as
money outside of the United States. Their
value depends upon their conrertibilltv into
coin Their legal-tendcr quality is not only
contrary to the constitution, but Is a violation
of the commercial laws of nations. Then If
they are issued there is no way of fixing
limit for one Congress cannot make laws TO
bind a succeeding Congress. How could bus
mess be conducted if such power were en-
trusted to Congress? Would the democratic
party be willing to intrust such power to
republicans, or would the republican party
be willing to trust such power to democrats,
or would the business or laboring classes be
willing to intrust it to either! No govern
mcnt in the world is just enough or wise
enough to be entrusted with the power to
make money simply by using the printing
press. Objections to the continued issue OF
such notes are insuperable'

False Economy.


Special despatch to the Boston Daily
Advertiser.
WASHINGTON, May ls--The annual effect
of democratic economy is showing itself again
in the exhaustion of many appropriations
about the departments. One of the most inn
portant is that for printing for the United
States courts. and some of these have been
obliged to defer important business till the
appropriations for the next fiscal year are
available. Unless the legislative and judi
cial bill becomes a law before July, the inter
ference with the business of the courts will
prove serious inconvenience to the public.
This annual Gripping Of the efficient working
of the departments results entirely from an
attempt to make a false showing of economy
by cutting the appropriations below the fig
urcs which every member of the committee
knows TO be necessary for promptly carrying
on the public work
Mr.. Blaine will speak tomorrow on the
sections of the legislative bill repeating the
election laws. There is a general curiosity
to hear him, and this is not confined to the
republicans. The democrats are talking of
forcing vote on the bill before the adjourn
ment tomorrow, but it is hardly expected
they will succeed in this

Mr.. Gladstone's prediction in the North

from the United Kingdom to the United
States. for which he was so roundly abused

Nineteenth Century for the present month.

with the narrow area of England. the fer
tility of soil. and the variety and album
dance of minerals. not to speak OF the rest

Mr.. Brassey, too sees no limit to the
growth of population. both by natural in
crease and by the power OF attraction from
less fortunate lands; and he adopts Prof.
IIuxley's estimate of population of two
hundred millions before the close of the
second century of the republic.
