Ovr Navy 1 Cusan WaTER8.—The Secre- tary of the Navy had an interview with the President yesterday in relation to naval affairs, and more particularly the condition of our na- val foreein the Cuban waters. The Secretary stated that the Spanish Gevernment had 89 ves- sels of war in the various Cubam harbors and around the Island. With these vessels there is a force of 13,000 seamen, while the guns carried by the different classes of vessels number over 600. The entire American navy consists of about 50 vessels of war, 8,000 seamen and 34) guns. It is thought our naval affairs will be the subject of a special message to Congress.

A. M. Clapp, Congressional Printer, and will this week commence taking the testimony on both sides of the question. Mr.Clapp’s reply to the eharges seems to besa satisfactory refutation, and his statements are borne out by affidavits of his subordinates, who are more conversant with the details, and by letters from prominent New York publishers, showing that the prices paid and amount of labor required per diem eompare closely with those of private establishments. WERNMENT ASYLUM POR THE [xSANE— Visit oy THE ComMITTER ON AProrRtaTions. Un Saturday last, the Committee on Appropri ations of the House of Kepresentatives, in com- pany with the Board of Visitors to the Govern- ment Asylum for the Insane, visited that inst:- tation. and spent several hours in inspecting the ding and its plan of government, with a view of satisfying themselves as to the needs of the institution. Atter a most complete investi- gation, the committee attended an exhibition given by the patients, which was peculiarly interesting and gratifying. As the visitors were about to depart they expressed themselves greatly pleased with the arrangements of the Asylum, and assured the visitors and Dr. Nich- ols, the surgeon in charge, that they would do all in their power to procure the passage of the Spprepriation asked in the last annual report, i. ¢., $60,000, for the erection of an addition to the building, it being apparent to the commit- tee that increased accommodations were neces- sary, there being sixty putients more now in the Asylum than the capacity of the present struc- ture should sllow. WASRINGTONIANS WHO WERE IN THE Hay- Taz Suuvics.—Mr. W. E. Vermillion, of this city, who for seven months was in the service of Hayti on the war steamer La Terrour, has re- turned to this city. It will be remembered that Mr. V. left here with a few Washing- tonians (one of whom, Mr. J. H. Greenfield, master, died of vellow fever at Porte-au-Prince,) last September, to serve Hayti for six months. When they arrived at Porte-au-Prinee, on the 24th of October, Salnave’s prospeets were bright. ‘On the 2th of December, Biondi, captain of the ship La Terrour, surrendered to the insurgents, selling the vessel te them for $30,000. The of- ficers and men, numbering one hundred and thirty-four, were then placed on the Kevolution- ary flag-ship Florida, Admiral Dejore, where they were treated kindly. The Admiral (De- Jore) offered to continue the original contract with the officers and men, and as the battle of Porte-au-Prince was then they were compelled to remain on the for over two months. ‘Mr. V. was present when Salnave was executed, and bears witness to the bravery with which he met his death. He also testifies tothe faithfulness of Mr. E. D. Bassett, our Minister to Hayti, who on one occasion protected in his house over two hundred men of the Salmave party, notwithstanding he was threatened daily '| with assassintion by the revolutionists.

Senator shall be an inbabitant of the State for which he is elected at the time when clected. If it provided that he should be an Imhabitant when he was admitted, the course ot the committee would have been very plain and easy. Now the question was whether General Ames was an inhabitant of the State of Mississippi on that day in January when he was elected, and he (Mr. C.) would prove that General Ames was not au inhabitant atthattime. Mr. C. then quoted from Webster and other lexicographers as to the of the word “"sohabitant™ as coutradistingulbod trom the term “ resident.” He then read frem the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention that the committee, in report- ing on the qualifications of thet he be a oF he State for which he was appowted, The term “resident” was struek out and “in. habitant” inserted, to mean one who was com- pletely identified with the locality.
