The report of the Board of Officers to investigate the affairs of the several Navy-yarda haa been traua-nvlttad to the House of Xtepreseatatlvee by the Secretary of the Navy, la response to a resolution of that body. They say that all the troubles are owing to the system on which the yards are organised, and not to a want of proper administrative talents in the Heads of Departments. In Uelr opinion, the commandant ahouid bo eon-sidcred In the same position aa If In command of a ship. The privilege or authority granted to the master-workmen tf selecting their own mechanics haa led them into the error of attempting to govern them ta4ependenUy of the executive authority of the Board, and this has beea productive of much disorder. Besides, master mechanics have been overruled in Uelr eeavtetftwB of honesty to tho Government by ouuue influence.

The Investigating Board veeommenda that the yards be under strict military rule, and the Commandant alone be heid rasponalWe for a faithful performance of tucea of all those under hie command.

Mr. HevsTOV, of Alabama, objected, contending that the resolution was not a question of privilege, there being no law for the election of a Chaplain.

From Our Own Oorresooadeat. SASAMoaa Heron, Lrra, Saturday, March 3, 1600. Well, I've been and done it again." Having received friendly notice from the courteous correspondents of the Boston papers, that trouble waa anticipated at a meeting to be held by the female operatives, oa Friday evening, I again posted dowa to this already famous Jftaec The proprietors of the Sagamore," Messrs. Bean an A Gaxxir, have placed at one end of their spacious dining-room a large table, called by them the "Reporters' Retreat" and around that hospitable board counted fourteen representatives' of the all-powerful Press, coming from Boston, Worcester, Salem, Phnadelphla, and That we had a good time who can doubt, when be hears that, from soup to nuts, the entertain-meat was copied after the celebrated dinner given by ABBUi-Mxwm to HAsocB-Aaicnrnf While at table the shrill sounds of fife and drum arrested, our re-poriorial ear, and upon seeking the cause of said sounds, we discovered la the distance what seemed an army, with banners. We donned hat and coat, and plunged mudias res.

The vast company, comprising some twelve hundred men, literally the bone and sinew of this city, had returned from a visit to Saugua, where they had been to encourage by their presence, and cheer by fraternal greetings, their fallow-strikers. Though soiled with mud, and weary from the march, as the band struck up that soul-ineptrtng Yankee-Doodle" air, they presented such a determined, resolute, and manly bearing, that we could but echo In heart the words of one of the lady- bystanders: If them fellers cant succeed, I'd like to see the crowd who can." We followed the procession until we reached the depot Here we were met by one of the, Lady Committee women, who said she hoped we would be a the meeting to-night for they were going to have high old times, and if Class dared to open her head, she was to be kicked down stairs." We gently ssked the csuse of all the Inveighing against MUs Clasa, whose straight-forward manner and blunt way of coming to the point had rather excited our admiration, and were told that Class was one of a few smart girls who could get higher wages than the majority of the girls, and that regardless of the general welfare, she waa stirring up the working-women to strike for higher pay than the bosses would be willing to pay, other than to such as she To make thia clear to the casual reader let me ex-plala At a previous meeting an advance list of prices had been made out and adopted Miss Bsown snd other smart girls thought the list not advanced enough, and by a series of tactics and able speeches succeeded In carrying a second list still higher, and one which the manufacturers will not accede to. A Committee was appointed to obtain the signatures of all the females to the latter list, aad aa waa generally supposed, they spent the greater part of tho week In so doing, when what waa tho surprise of the high-list party to find that on his own responsibility Mr. W. Ouvxn had had printed and circulated by the low-listers the first or only slightly advanced list.

That this was manifestly improper Is evident, but that It was expe-dlert I have no doubt However this may be, the Highs, led on by Clasa, determined to meet the Lows at the meeting last night, and give them pieces of their minds In Allopathic doses, which doses the Lows proposed to antidote by the HomoBopathie system of SmiUa 7 ttmiUhua ewrantuar Wasnt that a jolly dish to set before reporter 7 In the classic tongue of Molly Stark, we answer. you bet Our little army of fourteen quill-ltes" stormed the hall, and having extemporized tables out of long wooden benches, arranged one on top of another, we prepared to pucker. If you will imagine Henry Ward Beecher'a Church, or tho old Tabernacle, filled with ladles, or more appropriately, If you will remember a Pattl matinee at the Academy, when, on striving at the door two hours before the time for commencement you have found tho parquette filled with beautiful women, jabber, jabber, jabber, and then tho stage entirely occupted by the same worse, wusser, wust, and you with your few male companions the sole representatives of Adam's race as originally pictured, you will have a faint Idea of our trying situation. On the chair-woman's table were copies of the Tiaas snd local papers. Scrutinizing glances were cast at the paper and at us.

What waa up, we did not know but subsequently ascertained that a discussion was going on as to the propriety of allowing us to remain, as it waa evident they said, that we didn't mean to do them justice The main difficulty was, that your gentlemanly com positor had made me to err In tbe spelling of Mrs. Habbak's name it should bave been Mrs. O. H. As sam, and said compositor haa it Mrs.

Haaom. Correct It please, for I have managed thus far to keep on tho right aide of moat of the ladies, and why, know I spelt It Harran, dont yout Help me out Mr. DiLLoa opened the meeting. He had been requested to take the Chair and to make a few remarks, He explained to the excited Highs aad Lows that whsn a vote was once taken It ahouid be considered a settled affair, and the minority should acquiesce In the decision. Therefore the necessity of clearly under standing tho question before It was voted upon was obvious.

His earnest appeal to 1 them, that they should remember how serious a matter they were en gaged to: that It was not for show or effect, but that they might earn bread for their little ones, and clothe themselves decently, waa very touching. His manner was thoroughly tn keeping with his topic, and pro duced a great sensation. I want to know, girls, if some of you ha vat beea working for so small a sum, that It Is difficult for you to figure out how yon stood, whether at a profit or alossT" Yes, yes. Are you willing to do so (No, no! Well, then, we rest on you you, who suckle us la our Infancy, who court us la our prime, who succor, support, and comfort us tn our old age and declining powers, we rest oa gem to help us acre, now, at (sis time; give us, journeymen shoemakers, your encouragement and cooperation, and well go on, on, on, e'en to Death's grim door." (Tremendous applause, great clapping, Immense sensation, followed by a hum of approbattvo remarks from the fair crowd la the pit) Mr. Druea went oa to speak of the exciting topic, which he was about to In traduce to the house He showed how absolute waa the neeee- slty of having the machine owners oa the aide of the girls.

If a man has a hundred machines la Salem or Marble he ad, and ha eaa find girls willing to run these machines wen, at $5 per week, and the Lynn operatives strike for $5 50, will the owner not be jus tified In taking tbe work from Lynn, aad have ft done oa his machines for the Lynn man ufacture rs for $5 per week. Why, then, ought we aet to conciliate the owners, strike only for a fair increase, aad they will aid you whereas, If you demand aa unfair increase, they will be able in three weeks, by the aid of out-of-town girls, to crush you out of exUtoaee. Re member the noble stand we mea took oa tne glorious twenty-second, and if you love us, If you love your little ones, sad your God, stand still, and when the day of trial cornea, still atand." Renewed applause Vsrious Committees resorted progress. They had beea to Marblehead and to Newbury port, aad after a thorough can vase of the places, they ascertained the feeling among the girls to he much the same as here 1 and that the operatives had pledged them selves to take ao work from Lynn until the pricea were regulated. The Guards had been waited oa and Invited to escort the ladles oa the day of the pro cession, (it will be remembered that the Guards were under arms two dsys and nights during the riot) and they would probably accept the Invitation.

note was read from A Lady Operator," urriiig a eoncentratloa of Interests, and that peace aad eaa cord should reign. Instead of trouble aad dlsturbsace. he vindicated the shop girls from the charge of ex travagance, and wanted to know If they hadn't just as good right to switch a long-tailed skirt as tho proudest lady la the land. Tho example of tho Revolutionary Mothers was unfolded for tho twentieta time, and the acver-failtng refrain, which displays the aevteafcupy or each A.yaa becoming MoU Stark, wound up the Lady Operator'a" tale of woe. All this time llr.

We've got the bosses where we can do as we please with If we wont work our machines, and the out-of-town girls wont take tbe work, what can tbe bosses do (Cheers, hisses, Shame," "Hoe her out," Pest" Ao.)
