“PED HALSTED'S. “WHALE.” Torpedo Boats in General and “Pet's” in Particular. "Interesting Historical Resume of Submarine Vessele—Eventful History of « Remarkable - Craft—Almost a Naval Engagement in Jer. sey Waters—What the Government Proposes to do with the “Whale.” Brief mention was made a week or s0 ago in tho ‘mRaxD of the removal from Newark,'N. J., to the Brooklyn Navy Yard of the somewhat celebrated Norpedo boat, “Pet” Halated’s “Whale,” the history ‘of which is equally remarkable as it is deeply in- feresting. Before recounting its eventful career a rief historical résumé of the sudject of torpedoes ‘and torpedo boats will doubtless be considered at be, yaa and instructive as well to the general a8 to the student of mechanics and engineer- dng. The idea or submarine navigation and attack- tng asbip by applying to its submerged parts a magazine of powder, which, when exploded ‘by devices contrived for the purpose, should disable or mestroy her, was FIRST CONCEIVED BY CAPTAIN DAVID BUSHNELL, ‘of Westbrook, Conn, Captain Bushnell was born in 1742 and graduated trom Yale College some twenty- eight years subsequently. During and atter his attendance at college he devoted most of his time 4nd means to the subject of submarine warfare, He ‘was noted for his studious habits, great inventive geniua and eccentricities, as well as for the unforiu- mate results that ever attended his efforts. Aiter ‘exhausting his own handsome patrimony in expert- ite which proved to himself and other leading of his day that lis theory was correct he to the government for ald, but was ret . his eyes towards France he proceeded ‘thither and communicated to Thomas Jefferson, then F nipotentiary of United States at Paria, his inveniton, with a view, doubticss, to in- ducing the American statesman to bring him and it ‘to-the notice of the French government. In this effairhe appears to have been unsuccessful also. Returning to the United States he turned ig attcution to other pursuits, amassed a. tate. fortune under an assumed name and at the ripe age of ninety years passed into the spirit land. During the War of Independence he was cap- tain of a company of sappers and miners im the American army. For a period extending over twenty years after the whole subject lay dormant. During the ember years of the last century, while sojourning in the Bushnelitan system was brought forward ag: by no less distinguished a genius than FULTON, THE PIONEER AMERICAN STEAM KING, ‘who constructed a machine which was intended “to Ampart to carcasses of gunpowder a progressive motion under water toa given point and then ex- lode them.’ Like Bushnel!, Fulton sought to in- rest the French government, but his plans were rejected as being entirely impracticable, sabse- gerne. with Napoleon at the head of the nation, ulton was more successful. He constructed a pl boat and with it placed beneath a Vessel in the harbor of Brest one of his “submarine bombs,” and biew her to atoms, furnishiug the first suceessful experiment of the Kind on record. Stili he could not induce the French government to continue its patronage, and under the name of Francis he turned up ata later pens before the British Minisiry and made some ighly successful experiments, whieh secured him the countenance of Pitt, the English Premier. He received £16,000 for sume of his improvements, but ‘Was by no means entirely successful. Returning to his native land he sectired help from the govern- ment, though he was bitterly opposed by maiy lead- ing naval ofivera, especially Commodore Kogers, Wearled with unsuccessful efurts, and important Re jects connected wiih steam navigation coming up then, Fulton turned fiom the subject of turpe- does forever. That he continued to have, however, thorough faith in his theories is épha‘ically de- monstrated by the following extract from a letter written by him over half @ century ago to Mr. Wil- lam Breots, Jr., of Virginia:—“If successful their benefit to America will be Limense; for I still assert, and eve.y refiection confirms my opinion, that these submarine mines must go to the annihilation of mil- tary navies, and eteanys gone produce the liberties of the seas, relieve us of the trouble and expense of all our forelgn negotiations and turn the whole genius and resources of our people on tie usefal arts. Everything, thcrefore, should be done to prove their value.” COLONEL SAM T AS A SUBMARINE WARRIOR. After sleeping fo¥#lengthy period the Busnuetiian idea was next gt up by Colonel Samuel Coit, the famous revolver nm&n, ere yet he had reached man’s estate, His pet idea would seem to have been his submarine battery, rather than his revolver. Under date pf June 19, Isai, he wrote to President Tyler, asking governmental aid in furtiering his improve- ments by means of experiments, Sanguine of suc. cess, he that the whole cost of protecting a harbor like New York would be less than the cost of @singie man-of-war, and “when the apparatus is once prepared one single mag is suflicient to manage the pes oy ing agent agit any feet that Europe can senda. @ paragraph in the HeRaLp of March 17, 1842, it appears le was succesful in pro- curing the aid of goverument. The Colonel gave numerous experiments, most, if not ali, of which ‘were repo! juccesses. Whether from maudlin sentimentaiity on the part or John Quincy Adams and others, or a desire to keep matters as secret as es can only be conjectured, but certain it is hat. mo official reports were made. From private papers and memorénda mnong the effects of Colonel Jolt, subsequent to bis death, it seems certain he rg to possess @ further secret, which died with him, however. Since then numberless efforts have been made b; Memof genius to perfect a submarine vessel whicl could be effectively used in the attach of torpe- does to the bottoms of vessels, but with what success will appear aiterwards. That the torpedo has long been an acknowledged success as a most destructive element of marine warfare needs not here be told. The experiences of the Crimean and our own fra‘ri- cidal wars terribly attest that; so now we come t> the latest species of submarine war vessels reprcsented by x “pens INTELLIGENT WHALE.” It was constructed during the war at Mystic, Conh., by or under whose directions does not traas- pire, The owners were, however, represented by a gentleman named Merriam, who took the vessei through Long Island Sound and la.d her up near Port Morris, Westchester county. The government having become possessed of ler, wuether by pur- chase or otherwise does not appear, the curious craft was removed to the Morgan iron Works, by order of Major General Dix, for repuirs, alterations and im- er While here the vessel was visited by . Oliver Marmaduke Halsted, better known as General “Pew” Halsted. This gentleman, being of an inventive turn himself, took grgat pains to study her apparatus thoroughiy, and sacceeied in juter- esti President Lincoin in In the fail of the of the it. spring succeeding year, the great object of the Union forces ‘was to clear the James river of the multitudinous and thus far impregnable array of obstructions placed by the rebels there. As a dernier ressort the and early in whale’? was looked to, aud it was confideutl, hoped that with it the cry of “Faugh a Ballagi ! would not be shouted in vain, Aitached to the cret service, the vessel was duly examined, favor- ably reported upon and ered Co report for active gel to General Grant, Vomnmander-in-Chief of the Union armies. The Generul ordered ner to be held in readiness, s0 that she might move to the front “instantly”? when required. There wasin command of her at this time the redoubtable “Pet.!? With him were General Edwin Serrell, Colonel Tal P. Shafner, of nitro-glyceriie tame, Colonel Drake De , “Greek Fire’? Alfred Birney, “Poi’s’’ brother Abe and eldest son “Ollie,” a dai ng youngster, yet in his teens. General Grant ordered the “whale’’ to report to Admiral Porter, then commanding the North Atiantic Blockading Squadron, in obedience to which she proceeded to City Point. OTHELLO’S OCCUPATION GONE. Nothing has so frequentiy been verifiet as the as- rertion of Scotia's bard, Bobbie Burns, that ‘The best laid sehemes o’ mice and men Gang att agley; and go it was with the daring spirits who hoped to ‘win fortune, fame and renown with the submarine nondescript by fracturing the backbone of the rebei- Mon. | Their “best laid schemes” were knocked into a cocked hat by the surrender of Lee. It is safe to prAna what was wanyect and cause of great re- Jol to the nation was disappointment and ster to “Pet” Ti, vaulnug ame bition, though afier all his steriing pa- wiotism had already demonstrated his anxiety and desire for this national consummation devoutly \ be wished—'‘Let us have peace.” The “whale's’? occupation, like Othello’s had gone, apparently. By some means best known to himself General Halsted prevatied on the government to let them hold pos- session of the strange craft, and she was removed to New York harbor again. While here it was thought she mignt be made useful in some peaceful pursuit—pearl for instance. A number of gentlemen took hold of matter with Halsted, ‘with this object in view, but it would seem that “too many cooks spoilea the brotn,” inasmuch as noth. ing Was accomplished with her. Qne of the pro- visos of the government was that those having charge of her should be careful to avoid involving the ae ee with any foreign lower on account concentration arties interested in the Whale, among whom were Rev. Dr. ‘T'yng, except ‘Pet’ Halsted, united thelr interests aud placed them in charge of Mr. Thomas T the doctor's sun. ‘The principal investinent of funds thus far towards ee the whale had been made, as is asserted, by Haisted, Who sought a gettlement, This was not eifected, and in the mean. time Mr. iyng went quietly to work on an effort looking to hoi chase by (he French government, One fine day £ the summer of 1863 ‘“Pet"’ discov- ered that tus pet project had been seriously interes ferred with.

The first of these experi- ments was made under the supervision of @ board of promiuent army and engineer officers, ecu 4 whom were General fom Sweeny, General C. Carroll Levis. of the French service, and Colonel John Meehan. On board tho craft, beside these geu- tlemen, were Mr, Halsted and his brother Abep together with four children of the former, includ- courageous, intrepid Miss “Kittie,” a bright ite lute gift of iourieen,” ‘The. venturesoms ‘8 remained below about an hour and satis- factorily demonstrated her ability to move about, up or down, forward or backwards tn any direction, A large concourse of people witnessed the expert ments from the shore #0 iar as visible. A series of test experiments followed, showing the jee with which the alr required, in quantity as eed could be produced and purified in the vessel itself, without any communicauion with the surface. The manner of plactug torpedoes from and by the craft was also shown. She developed ao speed of between five and six miles an hour, It is now claimed that, with sume slight improvements, she can do twice that figure. Kverything was cou- ducted under the immediate direction of ‘Pet's’? cousin, General N. Norris Halsted, the veteran ‘Jer- sey Blue ;’’ the gallant and lamented Volouel Tresyl- lian, General Serrell and Major Bocking. A torpedo was oc agi from her bow at a depth of seventeen feet under water. The result was equally satisiac- tory to those interested as grand to the spectators, Acolumn of water, some thirty feet high and of proportionate diameter, was shot into the air with a Torce that augured 1] foran unfortunate vessed that might have been overhead. The effect on the sub- merged vessel was iinperceptbie, The Fentans thought she might be useful to them in their attack on Canada, but it does net appear that they took any serious steps toward possessing themselves of Ler. After being SUNK IN THE PASSAIC for a considerable length of time the éwhale” was lished up and hauled ashore on an iron manufac- turer's wharf in Newark. Here tt lay until quite re- cently, when it was taken charge of by the govern- ment, and now lies at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. ‘The utmost secrecy is maintained by the federal authori- tes regarding its future disposition ; but the most feasible “it ig said” is that it will be altered some- what and despatched into Southern waters, with a view to effectuaity removing divers and sundry obstructions from various navigable rivers once in possession of tne rebels. As it does not appear that, notwithstanding all the Oghting-over her for possession, that she ever entirely passed out of the lands of the government, it does not seem so remarkabie that sie should be taken possession of by her apparent rightiul owner, it is said that the doughiy Tom Tyng was out with @n injunction and tried to intercept her oa the way to Brooklyn, but nothing was seen of him. No one 4s permitted to visit her at the Navy Yard without an order from Mr, Halsted, who, by virtue of certain inventions and improvements on her and to be made, aud which he claims ay his own, still exer- Pet” hag secured the coun- tenance of Secretary Robeson, and he now snaps his fogers at those whom he calls the “ancient mari- ners” of the naval “rmy.” The “whale” has cost from $70,000 to $30,000, It is thirty feet long over all, 1s Solne seven aad a half feet high and about the same in breadth. In shape 1 resembles an Indian club minus the greater part of the handle. The pro- pelling screw is covered with a strong iron guard. its crew numbers from five to seven inen, thoush, as has been shown, it will carry more than twice as many persons. CONCLUSION. During the rebeliton the subject of submarine ves- sels received @ great deal of aitention at the hands of the rebels, but most of the experiments ended disastrously to the submerged mariners themseives. A torpedo boat, under command of Lieu- tenant Payne, of tie Uonlederate Navy, con- structed on the plan of the “whale,” board. All perished She was fished out subsequent! time capsized near Fort Sumter, an And again a tried @ third time, but with equally disastrous results. This time the vessel remained below, with nine unfortunates. Under command of Lieutenat Dixon, another rebel but Payne. naval oMcer, a fourth expedition was fitted out, This vessel succeeded in States steamer HdMsatonic and blowing down her- self with eight persons on board. one of these vessels was tried in Chilean waters under instructions of that government. It sunk to rise no more in Valparaiso harpor, with eleven per- sons on board, all of whom were lost, Stl! more recently, in fact, within a few weeks, another of lowing up the United Since the war these vessels, having on board a party of old “cham- pagners, 7 undertook to make @ dive in New York arbor. ‘The possibility of a disaster was precluded through the cautiousness of a donbting Thoinas.

An effo1 POLITICS AND LEGISLATION IN WASH- INGroN, The Coming Municipal Election—VVarm Con- test Between Bowen and Emery—Chances of the Candidates for Mayor=Feurs of a Riot on Election Day. WASHINGTON, D. ©., May 28, 1870, ‘The approaching Mayoralty election in this city is exciting more interest here than any which has oc- curred im many yoars, Two candidates are in the fleld—Sayles J. Bowen, the presont incumbent, and Mathew G, Emery, the latter being nominated bya so-called yeform party, which has for its avowed object the correction of innumerable abuses and the wiping out of alleged corruption, which, if true, surpasses anything that could be found in New York or any other city where “irregularities” are sup- posed to abound, Bowen is accused of being the head centre of a corrupt ring which has perpetrated the most wholesale corruption and fraud. His oppo- nents call him hypocrite, plunderer, ballot-box stuffer, viomator of fair dealing in the disposal of lucrative contracts, ant conspires to keep the city over head and cars in debt, If one-tenth of the charges against him be true he ought not to be elected, but the municipal politics here are so pecu- larly foggy and mysterious, and corporation matters are so coinplicated and sui generis, that an outside barbarian knows not what to believe, and in the effort to make head or tall of the whole thing gets 10st in @ labyrinth beside which that of Orete must be, @ bagatelle. The probability is, however, that where there is so much smoke there must be some fire, Emery has as his supporters a majority of the bost citizens of Washington, but Bowen has the trrepresalble negro “right up to de handle, by gosh,” as I heard one of them declare to agroup of sympathizing brethren only this morning. And the negro is likely to hold the balance of power on election day. sambo is rather numerous here and _here- abouts, and by all accounts is making a big irruption, with the purpose of making Massa Bowen’s success a certainty, To-day the city ts overflowing with Africans, said to have peen im- Ported from Baltimore and Little villages and com- munities lying outside the boundary line, If the Stories one hears are true, a system of colontzation 1s betug practised which, in daring and impudence, surpasses anything yet recorded before a Congres- sional investigating committse; but, of course, one must take these stories cum grano. Emery’s friends are anxious and not likely to be more delicate tn their statements than the partisans of most candl- dates, however respectabie, for popular suffrage. It is their interest to exaggerate the improper prac- tices of their opponents. But one thing 1s certain, and that is this, that the sudden trruption, as from a Volcano, of all the darkies one sees about the City Hall and in other parts of the city to- day 1s somethng that would be dificult to account for. A disinterested spectator of the contest, like our correspondent, wonders where the dark legions came from 80 suddenly, and asks himself, Where do they all live? Where are ther homes? How lon, have they been here? Where will nine-tenths of them be day after elec- tion? Whar? oh, whar? as Senator Hamilton, of Texas, would say. ‘The whites are undoubtedly making a strong ef- fort to gain control of the city, but tucir candidate, Mr. Emery, has Kuow Nothing antece:lents, and it 14 feared he will not catch enough of the democratic vote, with what he expects to obtain of the white republican sireugth, to enable him to defeat Massa Bowen. Excitement runs so bigh here that ser.ous apprehensions are felt lest another rot, worse than that wilch disgraced this city a year ago, occur on the day of election, The blood of both parties is hot, and the African’ are big with talk of what they cau, may or must do to Vindicate their rights on election day. General Sherman would do well not to depend too muci: upon the eMiciency of the local police for the preservation of order on the 6th of next June, A littie preparation of a milttary char- acter, judiciously advertised, would perhaps prove a healthful warning to all those who seem to be dolug their best to work themselves Into g fine, hot frenzy by the time election comes around, LIVELY DEBATE EXPECTED ON TH GRORGIA BILL. When the Georgia biil comes up next week a lively debate may be expected in both houses. In adaition to the old sore of reconstruction, which is invariably uncovered upon such occasions, the in- vestigation recently completed by the Senate Judi- ciary Committee into the alleged use of improper means to influence Senators will come in as @ sort of a side issue. It will be by far the most im- portant, as weil asthe most spicy; for the frends and enemics of Governor Bullock will embrace the opportunity to give their views rathor freely upon the results of the investigation. General Butler will have his handsTail ta deiending Bullock, at least 80 ihe opponents of the latter think, while Judge Bingham will get a chance to crow aver the corrup- tion of the Georgia ring, which he charged when the bill passed the louse the first time, trength of the contest, however, will be in the Senate, Governor Morton will endeavor to show that the Judi- ciary investigation was after all but a “flash in the pan’—the “attempt and not the deed.” It ts understood that he will hold that the whole investi- ‘ties, who are nt upon destroying Bullock, and that the majority of the Judiciary Comuittee, either consciously or unconsciously, became a party to this business. Of course the Tudictary Sommittee will defend itself as best it can, and it may be that certain facts will be developed which did not appear in the committee's report. There will be crimination and recrimina- tion, with sharp firing all along the line. It is stated by some that Geueral Butler is withholding the Georgia bill until the smoke of the investigation shall have been not only cleared away but partially forgotten. WARM RECEPTION FOR GARFIELD’S CURRENCY BILL. ‘The financta! sensation of the week promises to be the considerat on by the House of Garfield's bill “to increase spmcnetn aptstlaend and for other purposes,’? It comes up on Wednesday and wili be the special order until i is disposed of. That is the present arrangement. A stubborn fight may be expected between Garfleid and Schenck on the third, fourth and fifth sections of the bill, which relaie to the funding of the debt, or rather the five- twenty bonds, at four and a half per ceut. It will be remembered that when the Senate Funding bill came over to the House there was a spirited contest between the chairman of the Ways and Means and the chairman of Banking and Currency as to which committee the biil should be referred, the Ways and Means being decided by the House as entitled to the prize, In order to knock the pins /rom under the Ways and Means and take the wind out of their sails Garfield has inserted in his “Ninoty-five milion Dill" the essential fextures of the Funding bill now before the Ways and Means, It is understood that Schenck, who has no notion of being beaten in that style, will move to strike Out all that portion of Gar- deld’s bili which relates to funding the five-twent.es or any other portion of the debt. He will make 3) the point—as he «did before—that this is in the nature of @ loan, and belongs exclusively to the Ways and Means. It remains to be seen-whuch of the two committees the House wiil sustain. The indications are, however, that the Western and Southern members wili present a solid front against the general principles of Gar- field’s bil, aud that they will follow the leaa of Schenck or any other mai who will make an attack upon ff. Gentiemen from these sections owe the Banking and Currency Committee an old Sees, - which they will not be slow to pay, Although structed some time ago to bring in @ bill Increasing the volume of the currency some $45,000,000, they have falled to doit. Instead they propose now to bring 1n a bill which, td say the least, has a decided leaning towards contraction. Nothing of the kind contd be more obnoxious to the South and the West, except a high tariff bill. THE WHISKEY TAX. Information received here would indicate that cer- tain parties in the West are bringing up large quantities of whiskey for the purpose of holding it for a “rise.” The ground of hope is that Congress will concentrate all the taxes on distilied spirits into one, and collect it at the place of distillation. This, it is held, would put the general tax above what it now ix, and con- sequently increase the price of spirits. So far as tne members of the Ways and Means Committee are con- cernea there does not seem to be much hope for any such action. They have been repeatedly urged to concentrate the tax on spirits, bat they are of opinion that tie present mode of begin A and col- lecting 1t acts as a sort of a system of check u; attempts to defraud the revenue, not only upon the rt Of the distiller, but the revenue officers. If ail ihe taXes on Whiskey were consolidated and made payabie~at the distillery it is thought the revenue oficers and the distiliers would have a better oppor- tunity to ‘set up jobs’? upon the government for their mutual beneilt, COURT GALENDARS—THIS DAY.

The part which the question of our foreign trade wields in the financial situation, and whicn is oftentime lost sight of in the absorption of Wall atreet with local topics and events, has beon made rather manifest during the past week in the activity in the foreign exchanges, Whatever the exact relation of our exporta to the imports the present season is one in which usually there 1s from the gradual decline of the former @ necessity for gold shipments and a corresponding advance in the foreign exchanges. We have often adverted to the dimoulties which surround the solution of the question of the balance of trade. In former years the statistics of the Custom House department were suMicient to give a very approximate result. But since the commencement of the shipment of Ameri- can national and corporate securities to Europe it has been @ matter of impossibiitty to determine the situation, for the reason that no public record is made of these shipments, and hence an important element of the caleulation is wanting. The ship- ments of gold last Week were over two millions of dollars—the largost of any week during the pre- sent year, The advance in exehange has not been the result, we think, of any very extensive demand for remittances. But commerctal bills and bond bills bave been of late unusually scarce. The decline in gold last winter unsettled the importing trade and merchants were very conservative in in- troductiig goods, The advanc> in exchange hag exhibited symptoms of @ speculative movement not disconnected with the Gold Room. {t is openly alleged ta the street that some of the leading bank- em aré concerned in an upward turn in gold, and ence the assistance given their Plans’ by the operation of advancing ex- change. Tho market ig in such a state, however, that a slight advauce in gold lets out renewed ship- ments of government securities. The continued ease in thé money markets of London and Paris has stimulated our five-twenties and placed them at quo- tations which permit shipments from this side, with gold at 115 and exchange at 109%. The gold market during the week was unsettled in sympathy with che mévements in foreign exchange. Early in the Week some of the outsiae operators, and perhaps a certain proportion of the “bears”? in stocks, sold the market down to 113%, from which, with the firmness in exchange, there was a rally to 11514. The market toward the close was Weak and seemed to be depressed by speculative sales, according to the testimony of the gold loan- ing rate, the Operators for @ decline acting appa- rently om an intimation of the policy of the govern- ment during the month of June, as well as upon the belief that wlth $32,000,000 of gold interest to come on the market July 1 thgre cannot be any serious advance in the premium, It Is pretty well understood that the government having once enhanced the national credit to the de. gree “represented by gold at present prices Secretary Bouiwell ts in accord with General Grant in 60 shaping the policy of the Treasury that there shall be no disarrangement of valucs tn the future by any sharp advance in gold. The farmers and merchants have become reconciled to and have pocketed the losses resulting from the fail in gold from 133to 113, They have begun anew on the pres- ent platform of prices and do not need an advance in gold. Indeca, the next winter will doubtless, | witness still lower prices for gold than were made last winter, the country remaining at peace and being undisturbed in its foreign relations. When the cotton crop now in the ground is mar- keted gold is likely to dip below 110, and those whose business 1s materially affected by the gold premium should make their catculations accordingly. The money market is unusually easy for the sea- son, and at the clove of the week lenders had difll- culty in employing their balances at more than three percent. The rate on call was three to four per cent, with some outstanding engagements at five. The market for commercial paper exhibits corresponding ease, and prime double .names were readily salavle at six per cent. Time loans for sixty to ninety days have been mado at five per cent. Government bonds have been comparatively quiet, but strong, and were less sensitive than usual to the fluctuations in the Gold Room, the market being stoadied hy the low rates for money, which have diverted a great deal of capital to these secufities, and thus kept the amount offering within narrow limits, ‘The stock market was dull, but in the main strong. ‘the drop in prices in the beginning of the week was overcome in later movements and the speculation towards the close was in marked sympathy with an advance in Pacific Mail, which rose to 43% as @ se- quence of the favorable exhibit of the company in their published report. THE BANK STATEMENT exhibits a gain of over a million in reserve against an increase of only @ million and a haifin liabilities, ‘The specte item has fallen off about @ million four hundred thousand dollars in consequence of the large export of specie during the week. The increase in legal tenders represents the further accumulation of capital at this centre. A decrease of seven hun- dred thousand dollars in loans is attributed less to a contractile movement on the part of the banks than to the return of money which the borrowers could get at lower rates in the open market. The gain in the surplus over the legal reserve 1s $820,318, the banks now holding $29,024,421 in excess of the re- quired limit, The following table shows the con- dition of the banks this week compared with lasit:~ May 21.
