Robeson and His Plunder. From ih Su*U Zaltutig. The veil which covered Robeson's nd ministration has long since been re moved. lie was for eight years Secre tary or the Navy, and in this period ex pended monev to Che extent of $182,- 490,033. At the same time he sold ma terial to the nmount of $100,000,000. This makes together in round numbers $282,000,000, or more than $35,000,000 a year. When Secretary Thompson en tered the office its inventory stood as follows : a. A debt, justified by no law whatever, amounting to $7,083,502; b. 48 permanently useless ships, carrying 024 guns; e. Two inferior sailing ships, with 8 guns; d. 24 temporarily useless ships, carrying 200 guns; . 43 useful ships, with 225 guns. Out of 117 ships, there were but 43, and out of 1,057 guns, only 225 that could be used. These figures are by no means invented. They rest upon facts which Mr. Thomp son, himself a Republican, has confirm ed. Thus, in the eight years of Robe son's administration, the money of the people was squandered in the basest manner. During this time an army of otlioials and contractors were fattening in the Navy Department u|>on the sweat of the people. Materials for shipbuilding which, according to tho testimony of experts, would have brought to any bus iness man $20,000,000, were disposed of for less than $2,000,000. Over SOII,OOO, 000 were employed in the building of new men-of-war, and from this sum sixty to seventy men-of-war might have been furnished ; but the great part of tho money found its way into the pock ets of greedy favorilies of the Secretary. In the purchase of materials and new engines the highest war prices were paid ; in the sale of superfluous articles, prices ridiculously low were taken. One man bought from the Navy Department the ship Delaware for $5,175, and made by turning his hand over, out of t.ie same ship, $25,000. So from one year to another the business was carried on until nearly $200,000,000 und a navy also had been lost. A number of laws of Congress, enact ed to govern the business of the Navy Department were violated in a flagrant manner. Corruption and illegality went hand in hand without punishment. A party which tolerates such things and endeavors to cover them up when they lie clearly before the eyes of every man, cannot endure. Such a party is all the more dangerous in pnqtoriion to the number of intelligent members in its ranks. THE reform which is ateadily making its way in the matter of expensive, use leas and vulgar funeral pageantry might well be introduced to the modi fication of the custom of making wed ding presents. A gross abuse has here taken root and flourished. The husi ness is entirely overdone and has 10-t whatever of significance it ever poaaeaa ed. The custom has degenerated into actual trade and barter, and most sen sible people will sympathize with that courageous Boston girl who, being about to be married to "a man of limited in come," as they say in Boston, requested her dear friends not send any wedding presents. She was afraid she would not be able to reciprocate in kind. This wise girl of Boston struck the key-note of the bridal present movement. She would be expected to keep uu inventory of gifts received and a list of the do nors, and when any these had a wed ding in the family she must give some thing at least nearly equal in value to those she had, in each instance, re ceived. We have heard of a young lady who was endowed on her wedding day with fourteen silver butler knives. Reserving two of these she put the rest away "in lavender," and when her turn came to contribute, to the general jov of her friends, she faithfully return ed the twelve butter knivea to the twelve families from which they came. In this case wo must suppose there was nothing said about the loss of interest on the original investment. Who shall tell what heart-burning*, jealousies and mean ess are represented in the glitter ing array of bridal gifts? The tender ness and grace of the good old custom have quite departed.
