to do Just what the order convening them said
they were to do; viz, advise the President
what course lie should pursue. Tho only
thing the President could do was TO pardon
General Porter, and tho suggestions of the

Tended the integrity of the original court-niar-

The President on Monday sent to tho Senate
the name of Charles r. Green, citizen OF
Rhode Island, to be Collector of customs at the
port of st. Mary's, Ga, Mr., Green, it is stated,
has been in the State only three weeks, and Is
there merely for his health, Mr. Green can
neither vote In tho State nor hold any State

appointed to this position over good and true
Republicans who live there. Mr. Green Is
also retired array officer, and it is question
able If he can draw money from tho Govern.
ment in two capacities. II is thought that his
nomination will be defeated ia the Senate.

Advancement for Merit.

There is nothing more Just In the Army and
Navy Of the United States than promotion for
meTitorious conduct. In truth, this sense of
justice was so strongly impressed upon tho
mind OF Congress long ago that IL passed law
which authorizes tho President to advance an
officer for especially mcritorio1s service, not
to exceed thirty numbers, and a case of this
character hns just transpired, which is Great
ing considerable excitement in navy circles.
Captain james j.. Jouott, who bore n conspicu-
Gus part in tho war to crush rebellion espe-
cialy at Mobile and Galveston, and with dis
tlnction, as appears by tho reports of Admiral
Farragut, then in command of the fleet. For
this meritorious conduct then awarded him,
Captain Jouctt was advanced by Board of
Admirals thirty numbers for heroic conduct in
battle. In referring TO this matter, Admiral
Porter, in a letter TO the Secretary of the Navy
under date of May 26, 1870, says of Captain
Jouett: "His record was QUO of the best
in the navy, and his acts of gall
lautry cannot be questioned" In view of
this record which had been fully recognized by
the Board OF Admirals, an act of justice has
been performed toward Captain JouCtt by adj
vancng him In accordance with tho law
This action Is opposed by other officers over
whose head Captain Jouett will pass In his
advancement, but it Is difficult to SEQ upon
what proper ground the opposition is based
Every officer must stand or fall by his own
record, and IL is not in limo with the strict
esprit do corps of the Navy to begrudge pro-
motion whore it has been richly earned, as it
appears to have been in this ease. Every Off
Ger in the Navy should admire the herosm of
o fellow officer, rather than covot the honors
he has justly won. Heroic and meritorious
conduct in action has led to the frequent pro-
motion of officers aud men, and that, too at
the expense, perhaps, of others who were none
the less patriotic, but who failed of the oppor-
tunity to earn distinction. This fact should
not initiate against one whose advancement
has been too long delayed already

closed three or four hundred mortgages at
Indianapolis, and had turned as many poor
people out of their homes, and that his

without foundation. The Herald sent a

and his report is that they are fctions. The
old stories having lost their interest, the
