THE NAVY" AGAIN IN BADLuok.

! oE' EEIARh CHANDLER, VINO III all
other respects is about as great sailor
as was the renowned SIR JOSEPH, of
| Pinafore fame, pardon us, the case is
so portincnt,) recklossly disregards the
eminent Englishman's advice, and
every now and hen "goes TO sea-" Other
considerations than this celebrated eX-
ample of SIR JOSEPH ought to have at
least kept our secretary from the sea in
any vessel of the American navy. True,
he has never dared do more than hug
the coast in hearing distance of passing
steamers, i'm case of an accident, but no
man is safe on vessel of the American
navy, unless that vessel is hung up for
repairs in some navy yard.
Through MIR. CHANDLER's reckless
ness we have now lost another, the chief
part, the pleasure boat, of our navy The
country, of course, will not kick at the
loss of the Tallapoosa, but two or three
lives have also been lost II is almost
impossible to sink vessel in the
ocean in the short interval of five
few lives, but the rulers OF the navy
seem not to have learned thoroughly
this fact. If they have before ever rec
ognized this proposition rs fact, they
are certainly very careless of life.
ltUp and down the Eastern Atlantic
coast the Secretary, and occasionally
the President, has been sailing for
pleasure at Government expense, and il
was Il miracle of luck that neither was
on the Tallapoosa when she went down
But the good die first. What loss it
would have been to the Navy and the
Republican party had Chandler gone
down in the Tallapoosa!
OF course al investigation will be
had, and the officers of the Tallapoosa
will be hauled over the Goals, and prob
ably some of them he dismissed for
carelcssness and neglect of duty. The
facts seem to indicate that the sinking
of the boat was due to the want of at
tention to duty by some one on the
Government vessel, and of course that
one ought to be punished. But let the
investigation not stop with the officers
of the Tallhpoosa. Let it b6asked, also,
why and by what authority CHANDLER
has been racing up and down the New
England coast in this Government YES
sci for summer cruising simply? Why,
in word, he has been using Govern
ment property for personal ends and
pleasure2 Such an inquiry, honestly
pursued, would doubtless disclose us
great culpability as the other investiga-
ton as to the sinking of the boat.
