All these papers express the gratitude of the service to Mr. M_ for the unflagging friend- sbip towards it he has always manifested. Yet all of them differ in some particular or other from his conclusions #3 to what had best be done inthe Premises. The point of giving the proposed in- crease of pay in proportion to length of sea service is most objected to, apparently, because it is well known that the sea service of the officer has always depended quite as much upon the fact whether be has ‘influential friends at court’ as upon his own desire for that description of professional ser vice. A Secretary may give sea service to whom he chooses ; and it not unfrequently happens that the question of which applying officer shall have it depends upon how the individual contestant stands in the favor of the Chief Clerk, or some other subordinate in the Department, who is at hand to drop, at the opportune moment, a quiet suggestion into the ear of the head of the Depart- ment. Thus the virtual rights of officers to sea service and simple justice have been a thousand times grossly violated. In view of these facts, we respectfully suggest to the Hon. Chairman of the Senate's Naval Affairs Committee to make length of general service, rather than of sea service only, the basis of Lis propesed increase of pay, since it hes been found impossible to get an tnerease of rank above that of captain, which, could it be obtained. would be some compensation for the sreater length of time the otlicer may Lave served Lis countr In pursuance of this suggestion, Would it not be better to give to the Captain of twenty years’ date of commission as such, 23 cent ; of twenty and over fifteen years, 20 per cent.; of fifteen and over ten years, 10 per cent ; and of ten, 5 percent. to the pay now allowed by law?

Hovs8.—After we went to press yesterday— Mr. Howard, of Ohio, made a personal explana tion in regard toa statement in the New York Express, that he and other northern democrats had entered into an arrangement with regard to the election of Printer, by which they were to leave the Hall, and thus allow the election of Mr. Sher- man. He pronounced the whole statement, and said whenever he should give bis support to any candidate he would give a dirtct vote, to 0 Upon the Journal. Mr. Cox said as his name had been mentioned in that connection he desired to pronounce the whole statement a malicious falsebood, and de- nounced the Washington correspondent of the Express Mr. Babbitt, of Pa., addressed the Hose on the subject of the plurality rule, contending that the motion made by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Hutchins) was the only question legimately before the House. Mr. Davis, of Miss., made a personal explanation in regard to his views on the subject of secession He would only resist the despotic action of Gov- ernment and not its legitimate action. Mr. Hardeman. of Ga., also made an explana- tion in regard to a letter written by him early in the session, in which he had done some injustice to some of the anti-Lecompton men and a portion of the democratic party. He cheerfully retracted these statements. Mr. Clark, of Mo...also made a personal expla- nation.

Mr. Wiystow, oF } —We take from the Washington correspondence of the New York Times, of Thursday, the 18th inst., the following comments upon the position at present oecupied by Mr. Winslow, of N. C., in the tield of Dem ocratic party politics, and have to add to it the fact that we know no other gentleman of either party who israising more rapidly and more legiti- mately in the public estimation.

They were called upon for the spec itie tious and proofs, but they hed failed to produce them. He repeated that if the gentleman from Missouri really desired to know his sentiments. he would tell Lim, if he would remove from him amenace. He never did anything under a men- ace, and never would. It was not in bis bleod, these gentlemen could not put it there [Ap plause.] He would say, in conclusion. that whenever his name was a barrier in the way of organization, whenever he believed that any man could receive more votes, either by the majority or plurality, he would not stand in that position an honr, but would retire from the tield and geutleman with whom he acted the barren honors of the Speaker's chair. [A pplanse } Mr. Clark, of Mo., said the ventieman and his party bad been indicted, and the indictinent could not be withdrawn at the instance of the defend- ant. If the resolution contained an imputatios, the gentleman must bear it, for he never would withdraw It.
