Steamboat inspection.


The following extract from tho New
York Herald Of May 3 is suggestive Of re-.
form which tho present administration is
committed to, aud, as it comes within Mr..
Manning's Jurisdiction, it seems q very
proper subject for his consideration.
There is no doubt, as this writer sug-
gests, that the whole steamboat inspection
service has degenoratcd from the original
intent Of the law which was passed In
1852 down to simply n political machine,
and used for party purposes.
No better evidence of that fact is neccs-
sary than to refer TO largo majority Of
tho present incumbcnts OF tho various
offices in that service, from the inspector
general down.
The political record Of an applicant for
position in that service seems to have
been the criterion by which he has been
judged, rather thaEahis qualifications,
which are really the only criterion by
which man should be Judged for an
Office in which life and property are in
volVed.
BY reference to tho present inou mbents
it will be seen that nearly all, IL not
quite, have been selected for their zeal
and fcalty to tho recent party In power.
Az tue present Llmo We nave mol space
for further extracts from the article re-
ferred to. but may at another timo con-
slider this important subject more at
length.
