THE NORFOLK MAYNARD.
Commandant TruxtOn's Response to tn
Resolution of Mr.. Boutelle.

Commandant Truxton's Response to the
Resolution of Mr.. Boutelle.
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The Secretary of the
Navy, in reply to the resolution of Mr.. Boutelle
regarding the removal of inscriptions at the Nor
folk navy-yard. today transmitted to the House
letter from Co mmodore Truxton, commandant
of the yard, in which he says that there were
never any honorable inscriptions upon any can
non captured by the United States and placed in
the yard, obliterated by his orders The dry
dock, he says, was never destroyed. The fol-
lowing inscription on the pumping engine, "De-
stroyed by the rebels in 1862; rebuilt by the
United States government in 1863" the COM
mandant says, he had removed. Mr.. Lyons, the
former superintendent of machinery, was not
removed for protesting against the removal of
the inscription referred to, but on account of his
bitter partisanship, and because his personal
character was Objectionable. Commandant
Truxton doubts the loyalty of Lyons, and says
that he published the following card to the citi
zens of Norfolk Va, in June, 1861, which ap-
peared in the Day Book at that time:
"To the Public, VIM. HI. Lyons having
beer charged with disloyalty to the Southern
Copfederacy, proclaim myself as good South
erner as any man in the South, and am doing as
much to destroy the invaders any man in the
field; and if any one will come to the Atlantic
iron works, / will show them my works, which
are more than words, and will do all in my pow
er to promote the independence of the Southern
States WM ii. LYON,
foreman Atlantic Iron Works"
The sentiment contained in the foregoing let
ter, says the commandant. does not show such
faithfulness to the United States government as
the resolutions allege. The opinion is expressed
that there are more Union soldiers and sailors
employed in the yard to-day than there were on
the day that the present administration came
into power, and it is stated that the colored
freedman, when he had the same mechanical
skill as the white man, was given the same OPP
portunitv for employment. Three men were re-
moved from the yard for offensive partisanship,
and these removals, the Commodore says We're
necessary because of determination to rid the
yards of politics Two of the successors of the
dismissed men served in the confederate army,
but had superior mechanical skill. The Com
modore concludes his letter with the statement
that he has always, to the best OF his judgment,
prevented politics from being the controlling ele-
ment in the navy yard.

Brown, killed at the wheel The Acton was
hove-to all day on February %. A hurricane
began blowing at 10 o'clock in the evening
Enormous waves broke over the vessel, sweep

The wheelhouse was swept away, the steering
gear was destroyed, and for a number of hours
the steamer was at the mercy of the waves. The
captain and mate narrowly escaped with their
lives. At this juncture large quantities of oil
were poured on the water, and the effect was
most gratifying, the sea being quieted the
