A STIRLING LETTER BY SECRETARY
WHITNEY TO SENATOR CAMERON !.
On the Publication of the Naval Records
of the War of the Rebellion.

WAsHISGToS, January %. Secretary
Whitney yesterday sent letter to Senator
Cameron, chairman of the committee on
naval affairs, in which he says. have to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of
the 18th instant, enclosing resolutions OF
the headquarters commandery of the mill
tary order of the Loyal Legion of the
United States, of Des Moines, Iowa, in
favor OF the publication of the naval
records of the war of the rebellion and
desiring to be informed of my opinion on
the subject
The importance and value of this work
are. in my opinion, not open to question.
The detailed history of the war is matter
of professional necessity to the navy. 1t is
the only war in modern times in which
naval operations, on great scale have been
carried on. 1t is the only war in which
rams, torpedos. irorc.ak and steam
blockad.s have been employed. All that
Is known of naval war to!ay, dates from
the war of 1861. We need the information
for building our Ships, for training our Off
GERS, and for administering the navy de-
partment. In short We need it for every
branch of naval administration, if we want
The work should be done at once and
prosecuted to speedy completion. The pa
pers to be published are many of t;l"m in
private hands and every day of delay adds
to the probability of their loss or destruc-
ton. 1t is for this reason, that.I strongly
urge immediate action. The publica-
ton of the naval records 9lnnot be
completed in any reasonable time with the
present force OF seven clerks and cupyis:s,
and an appropriation of SG0o9. The
amount asked for by the navy department
falls far short OF that which has been de-
voted to the army records, but the depart
ment believes that it will lie sufficient to
prosecute work.
The whole country has demanded the
preservation of Farraguts old vessel, at an
expense of $2o0.0OO. get the record of Far
raguts achievements without which the
Hartford is only meaningless old relic, is
suffered to remain in Obscurity, for
the want of a sufficient appropria-
ton to provide for its publication.
The complication of the record is
desired equally by the participants on both
sides in the war, union and confederate,
! and by people in all sections of the coun-
try, while its Importance to the navy and
the executive cannot be questioned, and
for these reasons l earnestly commend the
subject to the favorable attention of Com

Fairfield's Infirmary.
A Move to Rednce Expenses.

LANCASTER, Jan. 2l.-1he coun.
ty lnfirmary directors held meet
ing the latter part of last week at
the county intirmary, at which time
every township in tho county was
represented by IT'S trustees. The
prOsecu ing attorney was also pres
ent at the request Of the infirmar.
directors. The object of the meet
inp was to devise better means for
the payment and government Of
'outsrdc support"
This kind of support h become
so costly to the county that attcn.
i,on hiss frequently been called to
1t by those WHO were scrutinIz NC
the annual reports If the county
commissioners and infrmary dl
reotors. By the advice of the rros
ecuiing attorney, hereafter the
township trustees will look after
their poor who require aid from
the public and prescn. their bills
quarterly to the in6rmaly directors
tor allowance. 1t IS thought this
will lrave a Wholesome effect so far
as reducing the cost of what is
known as outside support. but OH
the other hand, it is thought by
manv will result IN increasing the
number of inmates in the infirmary.
It.is stated that The physician s
bills alone for outside support lasi
year amounted to about o4 600.-
This sum it is thought lis exceed
ingly extravagant. and it will now
be seen whether the presc;.t fla.
adepted will create reform in the
way of reducing expenses.

The Judges Elm.

Ed. SRNTINEL did you ever notice
tie large Elm Tree standing on the pave
ment at the corner of my residence lot,
Hunter and Market streets? This tree has
II history that is remarkable. 1t was plant
ell near thirty years ago, by tie late Judge
Wright, and from the very start grew sig-
orOusly and gave promise oil long and
useful life. The young tree was carefully
looked after by the Judge, and In later
Years when II began to spread out its long,
strong limbs, and assume a foliage second
to none OF its kind, it Lecame the pride OF
the planters he:.ri, and cast in tn shade
all the groves on his Millville farm. And
SO this lofty elm continued to grow under
the fostering care of the Judge, ana later
in my possession, till in the last few years,
with the declining strength of TIE man.
this grand old tree began TO show signs OF
premature decay, and no art of mine coGld
restore IT,. and Ii is now but :he ghost Of its
former self. as there any similarity in the
two links, that the sands of each should
iun out so nearly together? Was 1t mere
chance, predestination, or natures whim,
that the link that bound each to life should
he severed at the same time Z? As the two
lives ran along together. as the tender sap
ling grew to be large, sturdy. Overshad-
owing tree. so did the young lawyer de-
velop into the great Judge and Chancellor
each unconscious of inherent strength,
yet exertiny influence plainly ftlt by all
surroundings. The elm is among our har-
dicst, longest lived forest trees, and in its
native woods this tree would be yet alive
an 1 SO living for fifteen We rs away from
his lased ''IIiils of Hooking" wns too mnch
for the strong man, and the effect OF the
transplanting became apparent in the fail

GETTING STIRRED UP OVER THE

LONDON. January 22.-The proposal on
the pa.t of the United States to strengthen
their immigration laws by drastic enact

ing on the subject here, involving criticism
by no means gentle or fair.
wAKEp rr on THE CONTINENT.
Not only is the matter watched with keen
interest in England but the question is ex-
citing n similar degree of concern on the
continent. Not perhaps as measure
of retaliation, but "a means
Of purifying the moral atmosphere, it is
suggested that the colonies. Canada in par
!icular, have recourse to similar legislation
and there close the gates against the only
classes who arc likely to leave the limited
states and who do leave that country both
for the country's good and in order to keep
out of Jail.
WHAT A NEWSPAPER ADMITS.
The Globe admits that the bill is ma
tural one and perhaps inevitable, but thinks
it will prove to be exceeding serious busi-
ness for Europe and also increase the prob
ability that the Chinese question will be
forced into unexpected developments rem
dering the greatest of all social problems
still more difficult of solution.
ri;uF. GErFECKEN's CASE.
The Pail Mall Gazette, referring to the
case OF Prof. GeiTcckcn, asserts that Prince
Bismarck and his son, Count Herbert,
are now the real rulers of Germany. They
have been unable to keep GeiIecken in pris.
on as traitor, the court having decided
that, there was no evidence to sustain the
charge. and they are now endeavoring to
have him shut up as lunatic. Whether
they will be able to do this. remains to be
seen, but if they shall fail, it will not be be
cause OF their neglect of any means at their
command TO accomplish their purpose.
