and Navy who served during the Civil War on the
field, or on the blockade on special service 1t

familiar faces of old comrades were missing, while

THE REMOVAL OF LIEUTENANT bunker.


Washington, oct. (SpeclaD.-A number Of more or
less energetic protests have been filed with the Pres
dent within the last few days regarding the removal
OF Lieutenant j. J. Hunker from the post created by
tho last Congress, OF superintendent of New-fork
Harbor. The duties Of the superintendent are confined
chiefly 10 regulating the anchorage Of vessels In the
harbor and seeing that refuse Is not dumped within the
prescribed limits. The act creating the office further
provides than officer Of the Navy shall be detailed
for this work. but that he shall perform his duties
under the control Of the War Department Lieutenant
Hunker had Just begun to familiarze himself with the
work and make his labOrs useful 10 the community,
when-so the protests signed by large number OF
members Of the New-York Produce Exchange and the
Maritime Association state-hc was removed. and cap
tain Boyd appointed in his place. Neither az the
War Department nor at the Navy Department j. there
any one who seems willing 10 assume responsibility Tor
this change. At the office Of the secretary OF the
Navy 1t IS said that the change was presumably made
at the request Of the War Department. AT the War
Department 10 is said that the detail Of Naval officers
is exclusively the province Of the Navy. Tho truth
probably Is that soft shore berth like that occupied
by Lieutenant Hunker looked upon as not alto
gether unworthy the aspirations Of fullhedged cap
