IVit! ROYAL
Report of the Naval CoKiuii'tc.
We select tin ! sllo.ving from the re-j
port of the beard of naval officers who!
were sent here on the Tall jpoo.-a to *ee
what advantages Port Roya! offered for :t J
naval station or navv yard.
' For: Royal had or is we'! known tc; j
naval officers, and its value a.- a naval sta-1
t ion has been appreciated since I Sol, !
when it was first occupied bv our naval 1
* i
toicos, and was found to I>o the only liar- !
bor between Norfolk. and Key West that
? j
would afford shelter to our larirest ships
* . i .V !
ot war, an i wjiero a navai station po.s-i
sessing luo-t ut' the requirements could '
be established tbr refitting and replea- !
ishing our squadron*.
Port Royal is very eas/ of access: it- i
> channel, leading into the harbor or bay,
offers sufficient depth of water ibr our
largest ve.-sclj and the bay and its tributaries
could afbrd anchorage tor the iar
gesfc navy.
Soon after the occupation of Port Royal
by Rear-Admiral Pupont its iuiportance
was recognized, and depots for coal
and provisions and temporary machinshops
we e established for 'he use of our
naval forces, aud Port Royal was con
tioued as a naval-station until !t>C5; when
it was broken up our .-mull Navy not requiring
:novo navy yards than those recommended
by the board to be kept in
eotnmission.
Without doubt there are some excel
lent locations for a naval station to be
found either in Port R\va! Ray or Beaufort
River, on Broad River, or on Colleton
or Chechessee Rivers, but the limited
time of the board did uot permit
them to make minute surveys. They
availed themselves of information furnished
by the naval officers stationed at
Port Royal, scoured the services of the
b st local pilots, and proceeded :u the
steamer up the several tributaries as fat
as their judgment deemed necessary.
There i>a largo interval between Norfolk
and Pen&acola of 1,440 miles, while j
the longest distance between any two
northern navy-yards, Brooklyn and Norfolk,
is not more than 2*>'J miles. Port
RojTal is about 480 miles from Noifoik,
<*60 from Pensacola, and 450 from Key
West. It would appear froiu this that
the defeases of the southern coast had
leen somewhat neglected.
As regards communication with the
West Iudies, Port Royal is 4S0 inilo
nearer to the Bahama Islands than Pen
sacola, and the distance of, the two
places from Havana is ab ut the satne.
Asa point to communicate with the
Windward Idauds Port Royal has the
advantage, while Pensacola seems to be
a necessity for the protection of our intere>ts
in the Gulf of Mexico. Port Royal
must in future become a most important
station on our South Atlantic
coast. The board are of opinion that
curate surveys should be made of site>
which seem to offer the greatest advantages
by aboard of com p tent officers, as
above mentioned, that the Government
i may use the position selected in case of a
sudden emer gency.
In selecting "a si e for a navv-yr.rd.
the Govcimeut should occupy a position
beyond the reach of (lie me
rnv's longest range guns, and to have the
approaches defended by ibiti'icarions
which the enemy, wouu 1 not attempt 'o
pass. This being aek now'e igedj a iiav)
yard at Port Royal should be <s abibhed
as far f:oni f he se.i as pre lence would,
dictate, art 1 before any stuc-uves were
com men ed rhe harbor should be defended
by an impassible chain of forts, othorwi.-e
a navy yard there would be u-e
lese to us, iu time of war, as it would be
liable to sc'ca.e by an enemy of tuperioi
naval force. %
After a rti-faetory examination of
Poridtoyal day arid its tributaries, the
board prove led, in tlie Ta'bipoo. a,
ihrough (.V.iibogue Sound <i? the outer
road--of Savannah, where t'ee vessellaid
some time aground. [; was quite
evident from ~"a general observation
and consultation of charts that neither
0 K-kspur nor Tybee Islands o.Ter any u?
the requirements of a naval station. The
' firot requisite is depth of water at al!
times by which our heaviest-draught vesi

i hi: Ht S:>tA> FLEET.
Some time ago we published a report
that the Russian Mediterranean fleet waexpccted
to seek safely in American waters,
in case of war with Turkey, an i that
Port Royal had been mentioned as thi
port selected for their rendezvous. Late
!v this rumor seems to have taken lnon
definite shape, and we learn that a dia
patch has Wen received from th?> Uus
si an Minister in Washington that th(
squadron is on its way here and may b<
looked for daily, 'J he Ivlio.vnsg iron
the Xcic York Ib'rnhl ;*isome panic
u!-i?: in regard to the s?pi.i 1. hi, and con
li' ttis the report that IRoyal is thoii
destination, Charleston not having watt
enough on the oar to lloai the leg ships
" Ibe ex|>ected arrival of a number o
the Russian navy in American waters ha.
been the subject of some comment a ;
agreeable anticipation' in Wihiugton
The Minister of Marine of Russia is no
known to h:i\e signified as yet exact',
what vessels will come, but it is believe
that the whole Mediterranean squado
of Russia, with perhaps, certain c-xceji
tious, has been ordered to rendezvous ii
American waters. The possible, ex u;
tious are the iyou-elads, which, owing t
the stormy wearher pre\ ujing at see
e-urd not . afely cross the ocean at thi
time. even under convoy. It is knowi
for a fact that the frigate Svctiu, wliic
is commanded by the (?:ai!! Duke Ah
xis and which has already visited Aiueric
viz, on the oceti. ion when the (Ran
Duke vbitod this country?will be am m
ilie ves.-els of fhe s?juad"on selected t
come to the UniiM States. They wi
not. ii is said, visit New Vork, l?ui wil
on account of tli ir crews having bee
for so long a time in the warm climate c
the M'juUeiriueaii, be, sent to sum
Southern port, possibly either to C!ia;
lesion <?r Port Royal, [t is expected tha
quite a recognition will be given thes
voxels wherever they may be stationed
as soon as they shaii have arrived 1
American waters."
The U:>:'on-Una\l says: Cotnrao
dure Clltz. in command of the Unite
States fleet at Port Royal, lias receive
orders to prepare fur the reception of tfi
Russian squadrou, now in the Mad lie
ranean. It consists of nine first class ve.
sels. The Grand Duke Alexis is in ecu
man ! and his flag ship i- one of the fine:
iron clads afloat. The Russian jfleet wi
rendezvous at Port Royal to be out (
the way of danger in care of war wit
Turkey. The advent of this fleet wi
help Port Royal greatly, and thus th
state. Our great port is gradually b;i
surely obtaining the recognition-of tl:
world as the only port worthy the nam
on the south Atlautic.
Late last evening one of the Russia:
ships came into port and was salute
with twenty-one guns for its flag and i
for the Captain, and returned the saluf
of 21 guns for the American flag and 11 f.
the flag of ConiUiOitrc Clifz. Re fore th
ship anchored a ! oat was sent to he
with orders to proceed to Norfolk an
she turned around and left. Wo learns
late last evening that one of the Russia
vessels* would coal to-day at Por
Royal.

The Election of County 0Ulcer .
Judge Reed renderc 1 yesterday his d<
cision in the case of Wiiiinian.v-. Odea
dorff. The single question at i-<ue w.i
whether the election tor Clerk of Con;
held on November 7 was a va'id eVvtioOstendorff
claimed the offi -e as ha . in

was elected in October 1872. f >r foil
years, and until his successor .drill h
elected aud qualified, claimed that Xc
vember 7 was not the proper day ft
holding the election, and that the elo:
tion of Clerk then held was void. Tii
judgment of the Court is, that the clcc
tion of Clerk of Court, hc-M on Xoverj
her 5, was without warrant of law an
that Mr. Williman as holding over is th
lawful Clerk. In the j ldgmeut the re?i
soning and conclusion of .he Court ar
u!!y set forth.
The remaiks of Judge Reed i;n:i th
importance of so jura ting strictly lo-a
elections from general elections, so tin
political intcvets an 1 preju iiees rd a
have no influence over the choice of locc
officers, are eminently sensible and o;
