For the Democratic Advocate
New Windsor Awakening.

New Windsor is just awakening from the
lethargy which for the past twenty years has
encompassed her like a funeral pail. Now
our streets ale lighted with lamps which
shine not as Through glass darkly," but
clear and bright. The water no longer stands
on our streets in stagnant pools, and the al
leys no longer reek with filth and corruption.
But what has brought about these marked
changes? Merely the enterprise and energy
of one man, who for two successive years has
held the gnbernatorial chair, and amidst the
bitter opposition of eranks and old fogies
Whose greatest tax bills amount to fifty
eents), has brought matters to a successful
termination.
During the past month subdued whisper
ings were heard along our quiet streets, as if
some great calamity was impending Daily
the whisperings grew louder and louder, until
fierce curbstone discussions became the order
of the day. The theme of these discussions
were invariably Norris and Beelzebub, Sheol,
Tophet and Pavilions, used INTERCHANGEABLE.
The suspense was terrible, but in the midst of
che uproar the innocent cause of the clatter
moved serenely along in the pursuit of his
daily avocation, with the native gracefulness
and dignity of one for whom personal vitu-
peration has no terrors.
At last the fateful day and hour arrived,
and MOTIFS pavilion was formally opened
with select dance, as was duly chronicledin
the ADVOCATE.
The affair passed off pleasantly in spite Of
the predictions of the saints, who expected
that this terrestrial ball would move from its
accustomed track with the first strains of the
grand opening march.
But the clamor still goes on among the So
called saints, who religiously take the other
side of the street when compelled to pass that
way, and strike matches only with the greatest
caution, in fear of igniting the birthstone
which pervades the atmosphere of this de-
voted village.
With the characteristic forethought of a
public benefactor, Mr.. Norris offered his
pavilion for the use of church festivals, but as
yet the offer has been accepted by one con-
gregation only. The opposition to any enter
prise in this vicinity is based principally on
ignorance, intolerance and superstition, and
it is to be hoped that when the ''kickers
find that the air in the pavilionis as free from
sulphur as elsewhere, they may become
more tolerant, and may at least remain silent
if they will not lend their sympathy and aid
to a new enterprise.

Reorganizing the Navy-Yards.

Secretary %hitsey proposes to effect an
entire reorganization OF the nine government
navy-yards not later than next fail. Commit
tees at the different yards have been examiP,
ing the books and papers covering the past
ten years. The object is to find if the books
will agree with the accounts at Washington.
1t is said that already the books at the de-
partment call for material on hand at one o.
the yards, but it cannot be found. A naval
officer who is acquainted with the Secretary
intentions says money has been spent in some
cases recklessly and perhaps fraudulently, but
L cannot be recovered He intimated that al
Mare Island things have been very loosely
conducted, rotted wood having been placed
in vessels that they might be soon returned
for more work. The prices charged were
also extravagant. In the reorganization, the
officer said, the Secretary would dispense
with so many bosses. The yards are full pt
"master this, ''master that, who get s. q
day, work or not. -Four hours is a day S work

a dispatch from Fortress Monroe, July IA,
announced that so members of the Delaware
Legislature arrived there that day. This is a
mistake, as the Delaware Legislature is COM
posed of only 80 members, q in the House
and in the Senate. Perhaps the members
scattered out aud ''looked many as the
small Confederate commands did during the
war, just for deception. Probably some of
the members had their wives with them, but
then women do not sit in the Delaware Leg
islature and could not be counted as members.
Maybe the reporter drank out of the wrong
spring. Or, he may be the kind that never see
mosquitoes at seaside resorts and can get a
whale or sea-serpent on the beach whenever
neeessary-maginfy 100 guests into 300, and

John Roach, the shipbuilder, contracted to
build a despatch boat for the government
that should make fifteen knots an hour, and
under certain other requirements. He pro-
duced the Dolphin, and made several trials
with her. Secretary Whitney has concluded
the Dolphin does not answer requirements,
and, backed by the opinion Of Attorney Gen
eral Garland, has rejected the boat. Elk
Secsetry of the Navy Chandler rushes into
print to uphold Roach and to break down
Whitney aud Garland, and Roach himself is
doing some talking. IF Mr.. Roach believes
he has fulfilled his contract there is no use
for him or his friends to rush into print over
the action of the government. The courts
will right any wrong, and into the courts he
should go. Talk is cheap, but newspaper
articles and interviews will not settle the
matter
