About thirty years ago Mr.. johnson came to

We published last week the resolution intro
duced by Congressman Boutelle with regard to
certain matters of public notoretv in connection
with the Norfolk Navy Yard. The resolution
was finally adopted by the Naval Commit
tee, and reported TO the House with an amend
ment looking to the enlargement of the enquiry
so as to include acts of the last Administration.
The chairman of the committee attempted to
shut off discussion by moving the previous
question. This was resisted by the Republi-
cans, but after two hours of tiibusteriur the
previous question was ordered. Each side had
then fifteen minutes for debate. Mr.. Boutele
made stirring speech in support of his rcso-
luton, and Mr.. Wise of Virginia an ex-Cou-
federate, replied. The Democratic and mug
wump press claim a great victory for the ex-
Confederate, over our Maine Congressman.
but in fact Mr.. Wise only met the direct and
specific charges of Mr.. Boutelle with empty
denunciations and buster. The resolution.
which Is simply one of enquiry was adopted,
and the Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton journal says: 1.-The answer which will
come from the Navy Department will establish
the truth of the charges that an honorable war
inscription. which has stood for twenty-tbree
years, was removed, and that large number
OF eX-Unlon soldiers We're also removed and
their places filled by men who fought CALAMITY

Usually there have been at the close Of each

2l5 of the resolves of 1874 the treasurer is re-

The report for the past year shows a list of on
