The Need Of War shins.

The President ssTees With the Naval
Advisory Board that STEPS should be
taken to renew our navy, and that TO this
end a large number of iroaclads and swift
cruisers should be Immediately put under
construction. There can be little, if any,
objection to the report. The chief draw
back is the fact that Admiral Robson
had ample means placed at his disposal
to furnish us with an efficient navy and
left us a legacy of pleasure yachts
and worthless tubs. This was done
under the eyes of a Radi-
cal majority in Congress. Now
there is another Radical majority,
and the people have no guarantee that,
were the contracts let, they would be
filed in accordance with the speciHca-
tons. Indeed, if precedent can be relied
upon, their award would usher in
another jolly reign of jobbery. And,
again, if built at home the ships will
cost vastly more than if built abroad.
Here is another of the beauties of the
tariff.
1t is urged, aside from the general
necessity for war ships. that if Chill
should take it into her head to rebuke
our interference in her affairs, she could
shell our Pacific ports with impunitY.
In short, rascality and stupidity left us
without navy, and oficious informed
ding in what did not concern US has put
us at the mercy of petty nationality,
that can either exact an apology or do us
great harm. 1t would require year at
least, in the opinion of Admiral Rodgers,
to enable us to meet Chill on equal
terms.
PROFESSIONALLY we need few ships
for the simple purposes of the navy,
and, for aught we know, may require a
formidable establishment ere another
twelve month rolls away. But, for all
this, the peoples representatives in Con-
gress cannot but hesitate ere they give
to the demands OF the Navy Department
the support that the President has been
so quick to accord. There are two
formidable ironclads, the Amphitrite
aud Puritan, rusting and rotting on the
banks of the Delaware, unfinished be-
cause of the stupidity of their designers.
What assurance is there that our present
naval constructors are more capable
than the men that botched these jobsi
If ships must be built. let US begin with
simple cruisers and add gradually to our
ronclad fleet, but, above all, attend
strictly to our own business. In this
way we can protect our citizens on the
seas when necessary. and, if crisis
comes, we will not be utterly helpless.

The Sumter Flag Not for Exhibition.

The Washington Light Infantry, of
Charleston, having been requested to
send the Confederate battle flag which
flOated over Fort Sumter, while Major
Huguenin was in command, to Boston
for exhibition at the Soldiers Home Ba-
zaar, very properly declined, and sent
the following dispatch, which is publish
ed in the Boston newspapers:
''The Washington Light Infantry of
Charleston, S. c., regret that they are
constrained to decline to allow the use
of their Confederate relics for public ex-
hibitiOn. These are preserved in their
armoTY in sad and tender remembrance
Of their cOha.sdes. by whose life-blOOd
they are ballOWeds and, with the kindest
wishes for the success OF the fair of
their Boston friends, the corps feel that
the display of the relics in Boston, or
anywhere else, North or South, would
be unbecoming."
The propriety of the refusa, is prompt
IL and feelingly acknowledged by the
Boston Advertiser, which says;
The Washington Light Infantry, of
Charleston, S. c., has acted correctly in
declining TO exhibit its Confederate
relics anywhere. North or South The
request for exhibiting these relics had
been expressed at Boston, undoubtedly,
in good faith, but without a proper re-
gard for that scrupulous department
which should mark military Organiza-
tions in all their public acts. Confed-
crate relics do not belong to the public
eve. To many individual SOutherners
they are Justly sacred, and to all Ameri-
can citizens they mean so much sadness
as to make them altogether unsuitable
for curious purposes. for they can never
command an expression OF public respect
The thoughtful action of the Charleston
gentlemen hiss prevented painful and
wholly improbable occurrence.
