12 WASHINGTON. Attorney General Williams Settles an Important Naval Case. ‘Powell’s Painting Conundrum in the Capitol. ‘Farragut’s Naval Exploits Not Yet on Canvas. Wasuineron, Dec. %, 1872, An Important Naval Qacstion Well De- eided by the Attorney General—The Wilxes-Wyman Prize Dispute. In answer to a communication from the Secre- tary of the Navy the Attorney General yesterday delivered an Opinion in faver of Commodore Wy- man, who claitned a share m a prize captured by the United States steamer Vanderbilt in 1863, The circumstances were ag follows:—Commodore Wy- maa, then commander, was ordered to take com- mand of the steamer St. Jago de Cuba, which ves- eel belonged to what was known as the “flying squadron,” which had been placed under the com- mand of Acting Rear Admiral Wilkes, with a sort of a roving commision to cruise where he saw fit, with the especial object of hunting up the Alabama, or any other rebel eruisers that he might hear of having been itted out to depredate on our commerce, Commander Wyman proceeded to one of the West Tndia Isiands as the point most likely to find the command assigned. His ship, however, was not Bt tue port at which he landed, but he there met | Admiral Wilkes, who had taken the steamer Vanderbilt for his Mag ship. He ordered Wyman, who had been directed to report to him, to duty on board the Vanderbilt as his feet captain or, in other words, bis chief of staf, The Vanderbilt, shortly after leaving port, captured a valuable de runner—the steamer Gertrude. The Secretary of the Navy (Mr. Welles) declared that Admiral Wilkes had no authority to take the Vanderbilt temporarily into his squadron; that whe was assigned to special service, was an inde- pendent command, and that be was a usurper on board. Under this ruling the Treasury Accounting Officer attached to the Navy Department (the Fourth Auditor) declined to pay Commander Wyman his share of the priz The n Speed, who very absurdly decided that Commander Wyman was not lawfully on board the Vanderbilt because he was there by orders of Admiral Wilkes. As the rules of the service require imperative obedience of a junior officer to his superior this de- cision was the cause of mingled amusement and | @erision in the na It has since become to be generally believed that it was written in the Navy Department by a clerk, at the dictation of Welles bimeelt, to gratify his spite against Wilkes, and was signed by Speed simply to please that old Barnacle. There was neither law nor common sense in it, and of course it could not be allowed to stand, so the case was referred to the present At- torney General, who, @{ter an examination of the circumstances, decided that, whether Admiral Wilkes was properly on board the Vanderbilt had © bearing in the settlement of the question; that ommander Wyman reported to Admiral Wilkes in ‘mophance with orders from the department, who | dered hit On board the Vanderbilt for duty; he #8 therefore lawfully on board and borne on the dk# of that vesse) and entitled to ashare in all prizes captured by the vessel while he was thus of her officers, The decision gives much satis- on in naval circles, because it establishes the that an officer is not to be punished by being yed of his rights and emoluments for doing paval discipline requires of him—that of snee to orders, no and the Congressional Commit- at Loggerheads Over the Great Far- at and Other Naval Exploits for the tol. aystery of the Capito] just now is a hnge vbat might be taken for oilcloth down in ‘nent, but which is probably an unfinished wt. Some eight years ago Congress, in a jotism stimulated by Farragut’s bravery, ‘ned William Powell to paint a historical r the Capito! which should record the vloits of our navy. The price stipulated 0 signing the contract, $4,000 per an- r successive years, and $7,000 when the finished, making $25,000 in all.

In a similar case, of Frederick Friend, a nolle prosequi was entered. Andrew J. Curtin at the White House. A large number of visitors called at the White House to-day, many of whom desired to pay their respects to the President. Among the visitors were Mr. A. G. Curtin, Senator Wilson and several other Senators and Representatives in Congress. The Capitol Almost Deserted Yesterday. The Capitol has reminded the few who have strolled through its corridors to-day of Goldsmith’s Deverted Village. Senators, representatives, dele- gates, correspondents, lobbyists and spectators were all absent, many of them at the White House or at the Departments. Enlarging the Grounds of the Soldiers’ Home. The Board of Commissioners of the Soldiers’ Home, consisting of Surgeon General Barnes, Com- missary General Eaton and Adjutant General Townsend, have, with the approval of the Presi- dent and the Secretary of War, decided to increase and improve the grounds attached to that well Known institution by the purchasing of Harewood, the country seat of Mr. Corcoran, near this city, and situated in direct proximity to the Home. The terms upon which the purchase has been made are very advantageous to the Home, and it is considered will redound very materially to the benefit of the old soldiers as well as to the beauty of the magniticent park already surrounding their habitation. The Commissioners are well abie, under the advantages which have occurred during and since the late war, in connection with the very easy terms which Mr. Corcoran decides upon transferring Harewood to the government, to make the purchase, and will exert themselves to further the comforts and happiness of the veteran sol- diers who reside within its limits. The renowned military haven forms already a magnificent park on the outskirts of Washington, accessible to the public for its pleasure, and the accession by addi- tional grounds, already elaborately planted with walks, drives and fohage, will increase the beauty of the park und enhance the delights of the sol- dier wards of the government, OBITUARY. wo Samuol N. Pike. Samuel N. Pike, a prominent citizen, millionnaire and employer, died suddenly at his office, 22 Bridge street, New York, yesterday evening, We was taken from life by an attack of apoplexy, and ex- pired at thirty minutes past six o’clock in the even- ing. The disease struck him down about the hour of three o’clock in the afternoon, and terminated fatally at the moment just stated, despite the fact that the constant professional efforts of six emi- nent physicians were used assiduously for the r lief of the suffere He was fifty years of age. Mr. Pike was born in Chatham street, New York, at the sign of the Three Golden Balls, in the year 1822, of Hebrew parentage. His parents were na- tives of Amsterdam, and his education was re- ceived in Connecticut. At the age of seventeen years, without a fortune or influence, he boldly saliied into the turbulent currents of active life to carve out a future for himself, but a brilliant pros- pect that lured him to the regions of Florida was not reanzed. He next essayea the country of to- bacco, and after a year spent in merchandising at Richmond, Va., to no profit, removed to Baltimore, which, after a couple of years or so’s trial, he ab: doned for St. Louis, where he consumed another vould not suc- ceed in the dry goods jobbing. The year 1844 found him a dry goods merchant on Pear! street, Cincin- nati, with which an experiment of another year satisfied him completely, In 1846 he married the youngest daugh of the late Judge W. Miller, an event that in all proba- bility decided his permanent residence tn Cincin- nati. In 1848 he commenced rectifying and manu- facturing whiskey, and, fortified with youth, en- ergy, hope and a few ‘hundred dollars, laid’ the foundation of a colossal business. Beheving that one Who furnishes a good article of common con- | sumption where a bad one was before is so far a | public benefactor, Mr. Pike commenced the man’ | facture of pure Whiskey, and such was the ¢ fidence inspired that his trade extends into every State and Territory in the Union. He made 12,000 gallons per day in 1846. — From 1849" to 1853 he was in company with a brother, His first establishment soon became too small, and he purchased of S. Fosdick forty feet on Sycamore street by 100 deep, whereon he erected a five story building. He built a number of houses In various parts of the city, but his first essay at elaborate and juxurious architecture was on a lot | 100 feet front by 180 deep, on Fourth, bought of S. | S. Smith, upon which, in 1853, were erected four palatial residences, at an expense of not less than | $100,000. These buildings were the first attempt | in Cincinnati at Eastern and foreign luxury com- | bined with Western comfort. Mr. Pike was his | own architect, and they were long the model resi- dences of Cincinnati. — His ches d’@uvre, the Cin- cinnati Opera House, was commenced, in 1857, as all his performances were, upon the impulse of the | moment. is building was destroyed by fire. | In presence and appearance Mr. Pike was youthful, courteous and urbane. In business mat- teas he lacked that precision and acuteness that usually marks the seli-made millionnaii He seemed quite ag much surprised and pleased at his brilliant and pecuniary sueces# as any one else, and looked upon himself asa sort of distributing steward of large amounts of money, for which, personally, he seemed to have but little regard. He said he distributed his accumulating thousands ‘to mechanics and artisans-of all kinds. SHIPPING NEWS.
