\ Joint statement by Representatives
Boutellc and Brady relative to the recent
communication of Commodore Truxtun, of
the Norfolk navy yard, Is printed in this
issue Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,. 1t
should not he skipped by any reader who
desires q clear, concise, and thoroughly
effective presentation of interesting f1cts.
All the material allegations oGCommo.
dore TruNtun are refuted. lie is shown to
have made assertions that are directly in
opposition to facts that, were within his
easy reach, If not in hisloctual possession.
In every important particular the origi.
nal charges Of Caf Boutcle are sustained,
and their denjd by the impulsive commo.
dorc is rroycn to be the reverse Of truthful.
In the redundant zeal Of his toadyism to
the confederate Democracy, Commodore
Tru%tun has made the serious blunder of
ya6rfcssing to ovoldtons of the law that may
yet cost him his place in the navy register
The law plainly declares that working
men shall not be disturbed on political
grounds, and names the penalty of discharge
for officers who violate that provision. The
commodore, in boastrul spirit, asserts that
he has made a number Of discharges FOR po.
litcal reasons.
Therein the commodore has made a mis-
take, as he is not unlikely TO learn in due
time.
one Of the most offensive plrtisaus
that have been thus far exposed is this
trucking doughface who commands the
Norfolk navy yard.

WE'LL And yesterday Representatives King
and Gay and Messrs Dymond, Warmoth,
Wilkenson, and Mccall, Of the Louisiana
Sugar Planters Association, entered a
strong and united protest against Mr., Nor
rison's proposed reduction of the duty on
sugar, and gave their united testimony and
influence in favor of protection TO our in.
dustrial interests generally. Gen, King
didn't think any reduction of the revenue
practicable at the present time but In case
1t should be necessary he favored its appll-
cation to articles of necessity to working.
men rather than luXurics-among which he
classed sugar.
The delegation showed that protection
implied livelihood for half million peo-
pie engaged, directly and indirectly, in the
southern tropical cane sugar industry.
That protection to sugar means the multi.
plication Of iron, cotton, and woolen manu-
factories, machine shops, shipyards, &C.,
north and south, and the employment Of
thousands Of operatives to funish supplies
