THE utter inetliciency of the navy, as
lately exploited on the floor of Coz
sress, and as demonstrated by recent
experiences of the new ships aud the
terrible late of the Maine, and the
equally as unpromising condition Of
the army, as narrated by Congressman
Mcclellan, would be sufficient to 10
duce any other men than the jngo' s
to "hold their horses" until the coun-
try could be put into condition for
war before going into it. The bad re-
suit OF commencing hostilities without
being prepared for them, as patiently
exhibited in the case of France in her
i'll advised conflict with Germany, and
more recently by Greece 10 her ridicu-
lous contest with Turkey, should be
effective examples to the flibusters and
anuexationists of this country; hut such
men don't heed examples, or any thing
else. save their own vain imaginings.

RErRENCHMENT has at last mani
tested itself in the legislature, but in
such shape that, Tor the good of that
body, it had better lain dormant indef'
nitely. FOR the people who elected its
members have too kind feeling for
the nen who lost their fortunes and
risked their lives in defense of the State,
to approve the proposition to reduce
the pensions ofsuch of them as are dis
abled, to the pitiful sum OF fifteen dol
lars year. Such retrenchment may
suit men who refuse 10 retrench ex-
penses by substituting the whipping
post for confinement in iails for petit
larceny, but that it will not suit the
white voters of Virginia is truth so
plain that it need not be spoken.

ALDERMANIC COURTS.

John Thomas, of Luzerne street, was
held in bail in the sum of 5000 to ap-
pear at court, charged with assault
and battery. The case was held be-
fore Alderman John and the charge
was preferred by Thomas Richards, of
Twelfth street. The two men have
been almost lifelong friends until
Tuesday night, or rather Wednesday
morning At that time Richards al
leges he was on his way home and met
Thomas and some others near Divis-
ion street, on South Main avenue. He
stopped to chat and words ensued lead
ing to blows. He was worsted then
and determined to have the law decide
the trouble.
John j. O'Grady, of Jackson street,
was fined $40 and directed to pay the
costs for an alleged misdemeanor on
his part. Alderman Davies heard the
case Thursday evening. 1t seems that
some time ago cows belonging to
Thomas Murphy and Mrs. Bridget Nc
Andrew broke into O'Grady's rear lot
and created some damage among some
fine grapevines. Shortly afterwards
Mr.. O'Grady. to kill insects, spread
great quantity of paris green on and
about his vines. The cows broke in
again and two afterwards died. 1t is
said that Murphy offered to pay for
the damage done by the first visit Of
the animals but O'Grady said no.
A remark is credited to O'Grady that
the reason he did not collect damages
was that his vines were fixed for
another visit of the cows. Murphy sued
for the loss of his COW and O'Grady was
fined. His lawyer, c. p. O'Malley, will
appeal from the alderman's decision.
