STEAMBOAT INSPECTION SERVICE.
GEN. DUMcNT IN oPPosITIoN TO THE PRO.
POSED TRANSFER

WASHINGTON, January 1S.-Supervisipg.
Inspector General Dumont, of the Steamboat
Inspection Service, was ssked to-day for
his views on the proposed transfer of the
bureau TO The Navy Department, as rec
ommended by Secretary Chandler. "When
the Navy Department can show the same ex-
perience in inspecting vessels and their boil.
eIs that the officers now in the treasury
service cap, then il may be time to consider
the question:" said the general. II have re-
ceiyed reports from every supervising In
'pector in the codntry within the past few
weeks which show some remarkab and To-
terestiDg facts. In the Steamboat Inspec-
ton Service there are thirty-seyen local
inspectors Of boilers. The experience OF
these thiriy-seyen officers cannot be equaled
by any OF the same number OF engineers in
the Navy Department. Yet it is proposed to
make a change.
BOILERS INSPECTED.
From the figures received find that the
whole number of boilers inspected annually
is 81, 70s. Adding the terms of these mems
service together gives total experience as
engineers boilermakers and machinisis of
S72 years. The average number of boilers
inspected by each officer is 1867; their
average term of Office is nine yesrs and three
months; the average number of years ex-
perience in their profession previous to
present appointment is twenty.three years
and seven months. What naval officers can
approach this? They have no variety of
experience, and few, believe, are familiar
With more than the foHr or five boilers they
happened TO have charge OF in their differ
ent voyages. OF course they have an ex-
cellent theoretical training at the govern
ment's expense, but of what account are
theories compared with years of practical
contact and experience, such as the present
inspectors have? OF the boilers inspected
only one out of every thousand met
with accident and perhaps loss OF life, sed
these In many cases occurred a considerable
time after the annual inspection. If the fig
ures | have Just given are compared
with the statistics previous to 1S49, when
there were no steamboat laws, the immense
benefit and great perfection of the present
service will be seen. Before that year there
were 1856 steamers running on Western
rivers. Out OF this number 1853 were de-
stroyed by the explosion Of boilers alone.
This, you see, was large percentage, and
made travel by steamboat in these years a
very dangerous experiment. The laws en-
acted sinee then haYe been administered
under the direction OF the Treasury Depart
ment, and have reduced the proportion of
accidents to q mere fraction. Congress will
see, without any doubt, that q change could
not be an improvement, and it lie my opin-
ION that none will ever be mzde.n

NASHVILLE, January 1S.-Polk is still in
Jail and continues TO lake things very philo-
sophically. He says nothing and denies
himself TO all visitors. Robert Ewing, who
was yesterday appointed receiver of Folks
estate, has taken charge of his assets.
Yesterday Marshal Gosliug telegraphed to
Capt. I. P. Mccall, San Antonio, sheriff of
Bexar county, thai information had reached
here that Price and Cameron had been
discharged, were claiming the reward and
had started for Nashville. He replied that
they had been diachsrged pending Mr.. Cos
ling's return and that OF Deputy Morrill,, The
chief witnesses against them, and that they
we're still in San Antonio and had not
started for Nashville.
In conversation last night among some
Legislators, it was mentioned as a singular
coincidence that six years ago Mr.. Hal. L..
Gosling, who had been chairman of the late
Republican State Convention, was nominated
for State treasurer, and received the full Re.

was elected, yet six years afterward his sue

apprehended by him and delivered TO The
