Tue Navan Covrts or Ixquiry.—The New York Heradd of the 25th ultimo contains an ar- ticle entitled ‘Illegal Action of the New Courts of Inquiry,”’ in which the writer takes occasion to denounce—first, the action of the late Naval Board, assuming that it was wrong, but offer- ing no proof in support of that assumption ; and secondly. the action of the Naval Courts of In- quiry in the admission of evidence on part of the Government of the conviction of some of the applicants, of grave offences, by Courts Martial. A pressure on the Star’s columns has prevent- ed us from subjecting that article sooner to just criticism, which we now proceed to do. The Herald’s argument is as follows: “‘ The policy of the principle that no man shall be twice punished for the same offence. requires no enforcement at our hands. In military legis- lation it has been acknowledged by express en- actments, and is sanctioned by nuimerous de- cisions. In the military code there is even a rule which prohibits the introduction as evidence of any offence cominitted more than two years pre- viously. It ix. therefore, Properly ruled that an officer's whole career is not to be thus unreason- ably exposed to the malice and vindictiveness of his enemies.’* This argument is, in effect, that because mili- tary courts have established a rule of limita- tion, prohibiting the trial of an officer upon charges preferred more than two years after the alleged offence shall have been committed, there- for the prevalence in them’ °f the innumerable | fore the Courts of Inquiry are not to carry their ruuawsys, who, of course, live 2* far as possi- | investigations to a point anterior to that period. ble where they can exist by ligt work, they | Nor are they to inquire into any offence com- would be far more pleasant to reside OF Sojourn | mitted even within that period ; because that in, +o far as the enjoyment of comforts i3 con- | would amount to a double punishment for a cerned, than the towns on the otherside. Hat, 3 according to all accounts, on reaching Canada, | the runaways set up the trade of martyrdom for pennies and fame, and seems to fancy that to piay the martyr to advantage it is necessary to be as insaiting sc possible toall Americans, and especially to Southerners anc the ladies of their families. I must, however. confess that I saw nothing of all this, not having put foot “ashore”’ in Canada, except at Windsor, where I entered it and the cars at the same time, and at the Clifton House, where I arrived at midnight, to remain only until 67 o'clock this morning. At | the Clifton, the servants—all blacks—were | evidently Maryland and Virginia negroes, who behaved themselves while under my eye as civilly and respectfully wo at} as they would have done if still under the control of their masters at home, rather than playing for the nonce the role of liege subjects of her Majesty, Victoria I. | I crossed the never to-be-forgotten bridge, ere entering Hamilton, by moonlighy, last night. at which the deplorable accident occurred last winter, that caused the death of sixty or seventy persons, and maimed as many more. Just after the train got on the brid:e. while proceeding at the rate of three or four miles per hour over it on that occasion, an axle of the locomotive broke, throwing the engine off the track. which dragged with it the passenger car or cars down to the rocky bed of the Des Jardines Canal coursing one hundred feet below. To guard against the recurrence of any catastrophe at that bridge. a standing regulation of the road now compels every train to stop ere reaching it. and makes it the duty of the company’s em- ployees carefully to inspect every car and the locomotive before proceeding over it; which creates a delay of some minutes. Since that accident, a very general shaking of the nerves of passengers in crossing the bridge takes place ; toough of course its transit is, through the pre- caution I describe, far safer than before. I do not, however, know whether the trepidation of most of my Yankee fellow voyagers was not on this oceasion even surpassed by their curiosity. The females, more cepecially, trembled and Peeped and peeped and trembled most ludic- rously, until we were once more on terra firma; when the color came back into their cheeks. Though twenty minutes behind time on leaving Windsor, our tra'n duly arrived at the suspen- sion bridge, as per Lightning Express schedale. Often in the course of this trip of two hundred and twenty-nine miles from Windsor to the bridge, our fate of travel was over fifty miles per hour, and one stretch of five miles was ac- tually made in six minutes. Yet so well con- structed, well ballasted, and well furnished and conducted is the work, that I wrote my last | letter to the Star's readers on the train in mo- tion, with more ease and comfort, and more legi- bly, than avy other since leaving the Baltimore aad Ohio road | By fair light this morning I was afoot, tramp- | ing among the far-famed curiosities, to say nothing of the humbug, of the Falls; among the latter being the runaway guides and the museums.

What, then. should the Courts investigate? Is will be- remembered that they are not Courts Mastial, but Courts of Inquiry ; whose simple and sele duty is, in obedience to the act of Con- gress to give effect to which they have been in- stituted, to investigate the physical, mental, moral. and professional fitness of the several applicants for the naval service ; and in cases of unfitness for service, to decide whether they shall recive leave of absence or furlough pay. They have not the power, and it is presumed that they have not the disposition either to con- vict or to punish. The rule in Courts Martial. if effect should be given to it in these inyesti- gations, would. in @ great majority of the cases, utterly defeat the object of the statute. For how is the question of fitness to be determined without evidence of the character of the appli- cant's naval life? and especially, how is the question as to the right of the applicant to an increase of pay to be satisfactorily decided, without evidence showing how he performed his official duties? If the record of his naval life shows him worthy, no better evidence can be offered of his claim to imereased pay; even though unfit, from age, or other cause, for ac- tiveduty. While, upon the other band, if the history of his official career shows him unwor- thy of the high position he held in the Navy, such evidence bears directly, not only upon the question of his fitness for such position, but also upon the question of increased or dimin- ished pay. If the consequence of its introduction be to defeat the applicant's design, it is a misfortune that he shares in common with most men who fail to preserve a spotless reputation; and one that he should have anticipated when he sub- mitted his claims to investigation. He comes into court claiming, as a right, to be restored to bis former position ; or, at least, an increase of pay. He predicates this claim upon the service he has rendered. The question occurs at the very threshhold of the investigation. What was the character of such service? Was it a credit or a disgrace to the Navy? courts were to confine the inquiry within two years preceding the investigation, their deci- sions would afford very little satisfaction either to themselves or to the public ; for in most cases, there must, from necessity, be an utter absence of proof upon either side, under such a limita- tion. It is sufficient upon this point to add that statutes and rules of limitation were never designed for Courts of Inquiry. They are sometimes called statutes of repose. However pleasant it might be for the Naval Courts to repose upon such evidence as may have “ turned up’’ within two years last past, it ix believed that, in so doing, they would come very far short of the duty enjoined upon them by the act of Congress, which requires them to inves- tigate, &e.. and prescribes no limit whatever, in respect to time, in such investigation. It should be remembered that these Courts of Inquiry are not courts of appeal, having power | to review the proceedings and decisions of the late Naval Board. They have no appellate ju- isdiction. The proceedings in them are en- | tirely de novo, and are clearly defined by the act of Congress before mentioned. The appli- cant brings into court, not a part, but his extrre ; moral and professional character; and claims that upon this he is entitled to all he demands. Tiras it becomes the very matter of investiga- tion; and be, surely, should not complain if it will not abide the test to which he thus subjects it. The effect of such evidence, of course, like that of all other evidence, depends upon cir- cumstaness; and the courts, doubtless, give to it no other effect than that to which it is legiti- in the fogzy spray blown this morning over the Canada rhere, prevents me from entering into detaile concerning the particular wonders of mately entitled.

Ax Isvamous SLanner.—The Albany Even- tng Journal of Wednesday last, in noticing the fact that a cylinder-head of the steamship Min- nesota has recently required repair owing to the discovery of a “shrinkage check’’ in it, while admitting that such defects are contin- gencies in the execution of such castings which (we quote its language) “‘the utmost skill and care cannot always prevent,’’ undertakes to base, on such data, a charge of corruption, &c., at the Washington navy yard, which, according to this knowing journalist, was constructed for no other purpose save to make patronage for workmen. In reply, we have to say, first, that the con- struction of the Washington navy yard became necessary through the exigencies of the public service long before the Journal’s editor was born: and since that date it hax been regarded by all connected with the naval service of the Government, as equal in public utility in all respects to any of the rest of the Government’s naval depots. We shall not argue that ques- tion, as the fact is made plain in all the naval reports bearing upon it that have been pub- lished within the last forty years. at least. Up to this season even the miserable jealousy of those interested in rival establishments, and the selfish sordidness of parties seeking Private contracts for the Government's nayal work, failed to give the accusers of the Washington navy yard courage to initiate such a charge. The Journal quotes the following from the Albany Mercury, and undertakes to say that it is applicable to the state of things in the Washington navy yard, without pretending that its conductor is in possession of any testimony whatever to substantiate such a charge : abuses are every day practised, which’ it is the Secretary of the Navy to abate. Hun- dreds of thousands of dolla.s are here annuzliy squandered, for no other purpose than to reward bliticians from the lowest stews of this city and Brooklyn, It is true, a change has recently been made by the Government in the most important department—at least in the expenditure of money in the yard—the Engineer department; but, we fear, from what we learn has already taken place under the administration of affairs by the new in- ecumbent, the change has not been for the better. ‘The system here existing of employing men in the various trades, not for their ability to do duty and work well in the branch of trade assignes them, but simply because they are noisy Ppohiti- cians, should be abrogated. It isa fact, that nearl one thousand men are employed and liberally paid, whose work could be perforined by five hundred. It is true, that shoemakers have been employed as painters; painters as carpenters.and blacksmiths as masons—all receiving the high- est rate of wayes, and to an extent in numbers most unjust to the Government and disgraceful to the engineers and masters sanctioning the system —one that indirectly swindles the treasury.” In reply, we have to say, in the first place, that we believe what is thus said of the Brook- lyn Yard is false. If not, we guarantee that whenever any one of its allegations cari be sat- isfactorily proved to the Secretary of the N avy, that functionary will instantly take of the official head of any employee there, high or low, who may be justly chargeable, directly or indirectiy, with any such conduet, or with acts resulting in such infidelity on the part of others. So far as the Washington Navy Yard is con- cerned, we know that all such allegations are false. Fortunately, as far south as we are, Albany morality with reference to the use of public money has not yet come to prevail. There is no private manufacturing establish- ment in the world where scrupulous honesty in the use of funds entrusted to them is more con- sistently practiced than by all holding respon- sible trusts in connection with the Washington Navy Yard. We challenge a single item of proof to the contrary!
