THE NAVAL BILL IN THE HOUSE.
IBY TELEGRAPH 10 THE Tribunal

~
WAsurvGr0y. june 29--The House devoted five
bours to the consideration of the Navy bill to-day.
Chairman Harris. of the Naval Committee, made
an excellent argument in favor of building new
navy in accordance with the plans recommended by
that committee. Abram s. Hewitt read long
speech mainly devoted to a criticism AID arraign-
Ipent of Mr. Robcson's administration as Secretary
Of the Navy. Many of his points were
made with great force. Only once
did Mr. Robson interrupt him, with some
stateme mt respecting Naval Constructor Centhall
and Engineer Sherwood, statement which drew
from Mr. Hewitt the hot retOrt: 81 know the de-
partment was made too hot to hold those two honest
men, Mr. Hewitt protested high respect for the
ability of Secretary Chandler which he found Occa-
sion TO appreciate in another sphere IN 1875 Ii
he does as good work for the Navy now as he did
for the Republican party in 1876 he VIII he the
best Secretary the Navy ever had" declared Mt
Hewitt. Chairman HiscOck made an excellent
speech in favor of the bill. lie said that the meas
rre had been DELAYED for no i'm proper purpose
The Republican majority had believed that
the interests Of the country demanded
certain affirmative legislation at this session and
the appropriation bills had been held back in order
70 compel consideration of such legislation. Several
of the contested election cases have been disposed
Of the bill to extend the charters of the National
banks and the bill to relieve people of some OF the
burdens OF Internal taxation had been passed. Now
the majority was ready dispose of the rem ainder
of the appropriation bills in a regular and orderly
way.
Mr. Robson followed in a speech which was
mainly devoted to a defence of his administration
OF tie Navy Department, especially IN regard to
the monitors. While tho eX-Secretary dld not
attempt to reply III detail to the accusations
brought by Messrs Hewitt and Whitthorne,
whom he pointedly mentioned a number of times
as the gentleman from New-York and the member
from Tennessee he justified his own course IN
strong general language He assumed the fullest
responsibility for the monitors and declared that
the success of the MantonDmah had completely de-
sroyed the arguments and Deled the predictions OF
his critics d" If the MiantOnomah fully equipped,
had been III the harbOr of Callao last summer. Sis
ter Republic would not have been dsmenbered in
order to fill the pockets of Englishmen" exclaimeU
Mr. Robson. About thirty ships he said,
have been built or rebuilt since
the war, every one of them during his admin
istration. No other armed vessels except these
bear the stars and Stripes to-day. The Democratic
party had controlled Congress six years, aud durng
aII thar time not "a new ship hal been launched or
a new gun put ailOat. though S73,OOOOOO had been
spent on the Navy. On tho whole Mr. Robson
made out a strong case. -.

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON.
TIE OATHS OF BANK DIRECTORS.
my rRIrcnAI TO Tile TRIBUNE.l


WASHINGTON, June &9.-The serious charge mado
Inv Senator Beck in tho open Senate yesterday
against the Controller Of the Currency proves, like
the majority of that Senator's charges against ex-
ecutiye officials, unfounded Controller Knox, IN
his letter to Secretary Folger transmitting copies
of the oaths, says: There are now
four National banks in the CITY OF
Richmond. Va, and it seems that Two
of these banks previous to the year 1881 filed oaths
of directors IN a modified form. The rule OF TINS
Office is to transmit to all National banks printed
forms Of oatls required by section 5,147 OF the
Revised Statutes which banks are directed to re-
turn to this Office these Oaths duly executed mme-
diately after the annual meeting held on such day
of June of each year is specified In the articles Oh
association Of each bank. which oaths are filed IN
this office. Some time during the year 1881 the
Controller was first informed by the clerk IN charge
of these flies that the oaths of directors OF TWO
banks in the City of Richmond had been
received and fled in a modfedform. The Nauohai
Bank of Virginia was informed by letters from this
Office on February II, May % and August 20, OF
that year. that such Oahs could not be received and
this bank subsequently filed the regular form OF
oath as reouired by law. Letters were also written
TO the Merchants National Bank on March 80. July
16 August II and August II to the same purport,
but no oaths were filed by this bank until June ~
when the oaths Of six directors of the bank were
transmitted in letter of that bank OF
June 20, in which it was stated that
the oaths Of other directors would be
forwarded as soon as they could be procured, a
blank form having been forwarded to those whose
residence was elsewhere than in that city. Upon
being nforopd that the oaths of these two Rich
mond banks had been filed in modified form, dIrec-
tions were given to carefully examine all Oaths
which shond be received here, and tins has been
done and it is confidently believed that all OF tne
Oaths of directors of banks IN operation on ME Ill
this Office for the cnrrent year, with single eAcep
ton, are III the form required by the statute"

For this reason the Independent Republicans have
not yet attempted to organize here, and their

an independent candidate for State Treasurer he

in six towns No Wolfe ballots were circulated Cap
tain BOrchers is an old-tlme Republican, careful
observer and not a sanguine man, and he estimates
the Independent Republican vote IN the county this
year at not less than 1000, which is about
one-half the whole Republican vote of last
year His estimate is concurred in by other
prominent workers IN the movement among
whom are many Of the leading business
men Of this place. At the present time, however,
it looks like large estimate. Preparations are be-
ing made TO organize a county committee soon. and
the independents are mapping out their campaign
work. They do not intend 20 make n nomination
for the ssembly for county Offices. and they
will support the regular nominee for Congress but
