New York, March 19, i572, To THE EDITOR oF THE HERA) In reading your editorial to-day, entitled “The Navy and the Reformers,” I could not help tiuusing what a disgrace it 1s for a country of the propor- tions and Importance of ours to bave the ridiculous and meagre navy that not only we but foreign Powers, from Great Britain down to imbecile Spain, claim does not deserve to have that name applied to it, And yet this baker's dozen of ferryboats used for gunboats during the war, and the handful of men who work them, are continually being cat down and “razeeda” by our economical (?) Congresses men. No doubt, if the reasons for, investigation mentioned in your editorial are true, blame belongs to the Secretary of the Navy. But have you not, Ume and again, insisted that tue false ideas that seemed to pervade Congress on the subject of re- ducing the navy were destroying ail ambition on the part of the officers by reducing rauk after ranky In to-day’s issue of your paper do we not see an evidence of the wisdom (?) of our modest legisiators’ For the sake of seeing themselves in print they bave 4 lot of speeches printed that nobody cares. to read, and squander hundreds of thousands in printing tneir maudlin or ranting speeches tn the Congressional Globe, and yet, for the sake of saving @ few paltry thousands, reducing this arm of our service to & state of complete ineMciency on account of inade- quate force. i may ve mistaken, but I think Mr. Cox himself Introduced @ resoluuon the other day for the abvoli- tion of the post of commodore, and then we wonder at Spanish insolence and British bluster, Economy 18 a good thing, but & man would be voted as a fool woo, ietcing it be Known that he bad valuable treas- ures in his house, should, on tne plea of economy, take off all the bolts and locks from his doors and sell them for old tron, while he Was spending thou- sands by adyertising in the papers of the riches cou tained in bis house and the easiness with which, they could be secured by avy enterprising hous breaker, And this seems to be the statesman ship of our Congressmen, Who wants to read their twadale? Not even their constituents, to whom they send the Globe. And we hear that nex- cess Of the ACtHAl Cost ana Expense to the proprle- tors of that paper uf producing these speeches tney coolly put $175,000 into their pockets annually. Now there ls asum for our stavesinen | Yow many poor admirals, commodores, captains aud jack tars could be supported on that sum’ We say eur mivy has always been @ source of credit to Lhe country, so the navy itself has been—Wwhat tnero was of It; but Owing to Our niggardly blindness there has never been enough of it, and now we stand a fait chance of having none "at ai.
