Tho rejection of Mr. Hoan by tt fe duc to several reasone :—to hie pos Lon as ¢ tarpet-bag nominee ; to his infinity of tem fer and rade manners; to the partiean character of his mind, utterly remote from judicial patience and fairnees; and also to the fatal and unjustifiable attitade he Senate has assumed upon the Cuban question, Not only dors he justify and applaud the Spanish policy of Secretary Fist; not only docs be maintain the untenable legal proposition that there is no difference between neutral ity and the formal recognition of belligerent rights by the Exccutive; not only does he insult the Cuban patriots ; but, as we are in formed, he frankly proclaims that in (his com test between the usurpers of power in Spa and the republicans of Cuba he he eestiment of Mr. #, and doe tote Jas neutral The Senate has acted w this arrogant partisan as it has now done. nomination was nol a jroper one, and 4, But will Mr. Hoan re. a vote ide the vot Wiel. ly in rebukis It is not probabl we of want of coriidence t M1 de do pat Lelieve it; a proud and sens.dive man It is ald that he v re to do so, | retires when told Ly competent authority that he ie not want It is trae that Mr. Branton remained after he had been ro quested to resign, but then a great contest Was raging, while there is no euch ciream stance in the care of Mr. Hoan. Besides, Massachusetts Las another member of the Cabinet who cauuot be disturbed, and two are more than lier fair share; and thers ~ fore it is not Lkely that Mr, Hoan will stay. Gen. Guanxi may perhops wish tokeep him for reasons of personal affection; but his re- jection o# a dnc of the Supreme Court amounts to his rejection as a member of the Cabinet aloo: end we conclude that a new Attorney General will soon be appoiuted, —— Street Robberies. Just at present we seem to be passing through one of those outLurets of a parceu lar kind of crime which recur at distinct in- wervals, and thev, fortunately, coase for a Bt Street robbery is the fashion, and it is tommitted with a frequency pot at all agree we for the peaceful citizen to eon Daring the latter part of lust the widdle of the day, two ladies arrived at the New Haven Roeiroad etation, on the sorner of Fourth avenue and Twenty-seventh Mreet. On thor way from the station, through Twenty seventh street to Madison avenue, they were set upon and forcibly robbed of their purses by a gang of thieves, who, notwithetanding it was broad daylight, made off in rafety, though two of them were subsequently arrested, On Monday evening, just at dark, a young man from the West hired a back to take Lim to the Hudson River Railroad station, The driver was o ruffian in lenzue with another ruffian, who got into the hack with the young man, and after robbing him of all his money the pair turned him out into the street and Arove off. On Tacsday evening a broker living in Brooklyn was going bome with a tin box containing $4,000 in bank notes and §6,000 in checks, A wagon suddeuly drove up with two men in it ; one of them leaped from the wagon, snatched the box, and after a brief struggle jumped into the wagon agnin and escaped, leaving the victim seriously injured. As for pocket-picking in omnibuses and on the platforms of strect cars, the instances of it are always numerous, but latterly even they have iocreased, the most conspicuous victims in two of them having been, curi- ously enough, policemen, With a sort of poetical antithesis, however, two policemen, Ressex ond Hannican, have just been sentenced to Stato Prison for themsely robbing # etreover who had intrurted lim wel{ to their guidance, Latterly, too, the village | and the outskirts of inv lyr infested with burglusw and Lipheay + Kiage connty Dera, whoinse leon remart an the) peranens.

Congroas tiv at a weloct ~Pommittos to examine into the reckless aud fovlisis expenditure of money which bas cha ractorized the dn inietration of the Navy De partinent since the acevssion of Gen, Guaxt; and that the inquiries may be thorough, i ts essential that an able lawyer should be Chair man of the Committee, Under the present administration the Navy has been comparatively the most costly de- rtment of «'.e Government, the result, ar we shal? show, of placing unlimited power in the hands of Vico Adm.ral Ponten, when a nominal Secretary had been provided, first in Mr, Bonie, aud—aficr Le had been driven ‘out of office by the torco of publie ridicule— then in Mr. Ronson, who is, if possible, more eompletely* under PowTEN’s influence than ever Borre was. Bonty did occasion: ally raise his voice in a feeble way, though only to be put down, Hopson, thongh ‘ho is eald to have beeu a little restive about the annual report, does mot even whisper semunstmoce on more serious subjects. As evidence of the reckless extravagance of the ce frcto head of the Navy, wo may Meution, first, the removal of the four- the eubetitution of the French Mami which has proved an attar fale Mocholn, renamed the Severn, detained about four months in the Brooklyn Navy Yard to awnit her new od three at the Mangin screw could not be made to work, The coat of this ingle job was undoubtedly over $100,000, and not loss thap half n aillion has thus been squanderod on different ships, to thelr eerions injury, The Mangin serews Yaving been removed, plain two-bladed screws are now pnton in place of the original fourbladal serews, As tho two-bladed ferews have the same diameters, lengths, and pitches as the four bladed ones, their motive power, as every engineer knows, will be leas, But as it was considered necessary to cliange fomething, the serews were changed first from four bladed ones that were the best in use to Mangin screws that wero compara. tively worthless, and then back again to two- bladed ones that are not half ns good as the four-Waded if the vere) ts intended for steam propulsion alone; though better per. haps if swile are to be used ordinarily, and steam as only an accessory power, Tt will searcely be believed that this whole subject had already been exhansted by the Britich Government, which made an exten. sive and claborate series of triala of the Various ecrewa in use, including the Mangin screw, With the gunboat Stork and the large ste » Shannon; the results in the British experiments beiag invarably in fa vor of the four blades fter trying his screws, Admiral Poutr order the conversion of the old steamers 8: rele had beon discovered vas hand” on nextexploit wae to \dle-wheel squehanna and Powhatan Into screw steamers. Two worn-out, old wooden vessels, built nearly a quarter of a century ago, aud now obsolete in. model, are to be revamped, the sll excellent paddle whe mach 0 ont and broken up, and new serew Thac ‘y putin! The cost of these: alterations when completed will not be less than three-quarters of a million of dollars each, ‘The new machinery alone will coat obout half of that money. Meanwhile, sev- eral new vessels are lying idle at the navy yarda, for which the machinery about to be placed in the old paddle-wheel steamers was originally constructed. These new vessels are among the finest of their class ever built, ond are duplicates of the Guerriere, Contoo- cook, and Piscataqua, which have been thoroughly tested and found to posscas every desirable quality of screw steamors of war, The Admiral next orders the old sharp serew steamer Niagara, built by Brenns, to be razeed and tronclad with 4} inches of plating ; the original machinery to be taken out and Lroken up, and the machinery now in the Chattanooga to be taken from that vewsel and placed in the Niagara, The Niagara is of exceedingly sharp model and small capacity, and 60 rotten that several years ago @ survey decided sho was not worth repaira, Sho had not the strongtin, whea new, for an ironclad vessel, course will bo greatly weakened by razce ing. The old vessel, without armor and with her light machinery, drew 23 fect of water, and the result of the alterations will be to give us an old rotten wooden hulk, with such an enormous draught of water that she ennnot Ieave or enter any port in the country, and so weak as to be in danger of falling asunder in a moderate Keaway And this wretched boteh will be a laughing stock for the world, at a cost of not lows than $1,000,000, "The catalogue of blunders could be great ly extended, but the above samples will suf: fice to open the eyes of civilians to the ma: ner in which the funds of the Navy Depart- ment are squandered. When the Board of Survey DIN is passed, and Admiral Porter is thereby made a sort of First Lord of the Admiralty, he will undoubtedly use his power to alter, improve, and economize on a still greater scale, and the country will find to its sorrow that change does not always mean improvement. Experience, science, technical knowledge, are as nothing in com- parison with the vanity of a man who imagines he knows everything ex officio, and who gives orders to ruin public property es he would to set sail on a ship. Can the taxpayers stand this? Will Congress per- mitit? Shall we have a First Lord of the Admiralty at such a price ai Se What of the New Dominion? Scareely a day passes without bring’ng something in the shape of news from the would-be nation north of us. Within litte than amenth, we have beard of the at wnt of Prince Falward Island through the Colonial OMee ; of Newfound Jand’s repudiation of confederation, by an overwhelming vote at the polla; of Nova Scotia's continued discontent; of a dep preutice utation from Vancouver's Island arriv- ing at Washington—a rather strange place for loyal colonists to look for redrees of p #5 and of the half-breed rebellion at Red River, aud of its effect at Ottawa ; all of which bodes no good for the powers that be north of the St. Lawrer And even this is not all, For, last but not least, comes the elashing of authority be tween the Dominion and Provincial Judicia ry, Drought about by the blunderin; tion of the tottering head of ingly tottering Government, the dishon nd double dealing of whieh, it is ste arsertod by those A KeOD to know, oO ougelit city’, all this it but on only equalled by its au What is to come of sible now to foretell ; thing is quit ain, such a stato ef things anot last. Perhops, Lowever, we may vk the solution of this enigma partly in the fact that the governnent of this Dryo State is, and has been from the firet, in the hands of insincere political 8 impos real patriots, Certainly the Liveral Govern: meut of England isnot to blame, for they have not only made their scattered colonies |i into the next thing to a nation by act of Par. liament, but have aetnally sent out a Gov ernor, or Viceroy, to tell the colonmts what the mother country means in 60 doing, For did not Sir Jon Younc tell the people of Quebec some time since that “the Provinces are tn reality independent already,” and that those that would be entirely free must—not strike | in the blow, but simply say the word, or some. thing to thisefivct 1 Aud moreover, bos not dleded screws from several steamors, and | Mr, Caxpwett, publicly stated in Evgland manipulators, in place of being in those of TH 1 hat the poliey of poverving the colonies from home wee a total faflure’? And lastly, has not the ponderous Thanderer of Printing Tlonse #qunre bInrted out the fact that the | British American colonies at least must go, | and that forthwith, whether they like it or not?

Tt may Ye that they aro still work. ing for higher Lonora, Baroneteies and Knighthoods may not satiety them; and ne- cordingly Sir Jomn A, McDonanp and Sir ©. Erinane Canrien may have put their heada together, and resolved to exact still greater rewards for their euecess in 60. going for confederation when they could no longer resist it; in misappropriating the four millions of pounde sterling voted to the intercolonial road, in the Imperial act of union; in having succeeded in inducing the sh-American statesman to com. mit political suicide; in having ignored the new Conetitution of the country in bribing: Nova Scotia to enter the Dominion by th payment of $2,000,000 or more ; in having furnished an asylum for a cast-off Governor, who—if reports aro true—oneo “left the country for the country's good,” after having appropriated certain of its public moneys, amounting to some £50,000 or more; and finally in having driven a large portion of their territories into open rebellion, by clumay management generally, At all events, the Dominion would appear to be in trouble, and just how it came to be in so awkward a position, we must leave for the solution of thote better versed in the secrets of its intrigue and corruption. — We are pained to learn that the Hoa, Brs JAMIN FP. Camp fools much aggriey article in Tux Sux which gave publicity to a re- mark of his in which he expressed the opinion that “there was nothing s0 good as good cating except religion,” Iteeoms that Mr, Cann a fi days ago consulted a very eminent barrister about the expediency of bringing an action ugeinst Tuk Sun for libel Mr. Camp was under some excitement at the time and talked loudly. Strik ing his breast with emphasis, be said Tux Sew had burt him in the tenderest point, namely, his re- ion, and thet before the article appeared his standing in the Methodist Chureh was equal to that of any other man, even that of Daxter Danw himself, We have not learned what course Mr. Camv’s legal frend recommended to hin; but if we have done bim any injustice we desira to cur: reot it, We therefore uftirm that on reflection we believe what Mr. Camp really did say was that “next to good cating there was nuthing so good as religion."” - —— - Tt ia now said that the shortness of Father Hyacixrie’s gtey in this country way owing to avery prosaic, bnt nevertheless imperative rea. Tt was simply thet he brought but 2,000 franes in money with bin, and that bein he had to go back to his friends, Fortun for him, the proprietors of the Fifth Ave Hotel generously modo him no charge tor his board, or he could not have stayed with us os long as he did; and though he would accept no pay from the French Benevolent Society for the le ture he delivered in their behalf, he was forced to allow them to pay his passage to Havre, These facts are highly creditable to the reverend Lithon as showing that Li has not Leeuw gov erned by mercenary motives, If he had so chosen, ho might have made any amount of money Ly ex- hibiting himself as u lecturer, but that was not Lis purpose in visiting the conntry. In this re- spect he offers a pleasing contrast to many of the political, literary, and religions notabilities who come to our shores from Europe. ——— It ie stated that the Holy Father proposes to promote several Archbishops of the Church of Rome who are citizens of the United States to the rank of Cardinal; but as Cardinals are prinees of the Church, would it be possible for them to hold this rank and wield the authority whieh it confers, and retain at the same time their char acter and rights as citizens of the American Re- public? at a recent son, We publish this morning a letter from that venerable jurist, Judge Constano—formerly U. 8.
