One of the worthiest and least
known of New York charitable asso-
Citations is that known as the Working
Women's Protective Union. Its OBJ
iect is to prevent or redress frauds
upon women who are otherwise I'M
protected, and at the mercy of their
employers; to enforce by legal pro
ceedings, where necessary, the pay
ment Of wages due them, and to help
and encourage them in every way
that is possible to charitable hearts
and willing hands. The affairs OF
the Union are almost entirely under
the control of a few Christian ladies
of New FORK and thus far, they have
accomplished an immense amount OF
good.

The President of the United States
should maintain a respectable style
Of living, so as not to bring his posi-
ton into contempt by the appearance
Of meanness: but there is no good
reason for any regal display on the
part of the Chief Magistrate of a Re
public. If President Grant spends
SO, 600 per mum more than his
SALARY. plain people will wonder
where the money comes from to foot
the bills. Only a few years ago he
was a poor man, and yet he spends
$40, 900 per annum more than his
salary and has become a millionaire
in three years, Such a thing Is not
without a parallel in history, 1t Is
true: but it is also true that history
chronicles no great fortune made In
official position without bribery, cor
ruption or extortion. Grants great
expenditures and regal airs and ex-
traordinary acquisition of wealth
tower up in judgment against his
fame. and the contrast between his
official career and that of his prede-
cessors in the Presidential office, in
this respect, cannot be explained by
any pretext of decent thrift.

The Sale OF Arms Investigation.

EXAMINATION OF SECRETARY robson.
The House Committee on the expenditures
in the War Department who were directed 10
investigate in regard to all sales Of ordnance b.
the Government during the war between France
and Germany, met this morning. There were
present of the committee Mr.. Williams, of Ind.
chairman, and Mesrs. Acker and Barber.
Secretary Robson was the first witness ex-
ahmed. He stated that early in Isl I, the Navy
Department made an arrangement with the
War Department to manufacture 10000 Rem
inston rifles for the use OF the navy. A board
OF naval officers had previously decided these
arms to be the most desirable. While the arms
were being manufactured some defect in them
was discovered. About that time POultney,
ton in writing to buy these arms at $50 apiece,
and the proposition was finally accepted, the
Government making about $4,000 by the sale,
including the 81 royalty paid to Remington e
Co. Subsequently, u 600 Remington arms were
manufactured for the Navy Department. The
latter department received TO money in this
transaction: The agreement for the sale to
Poultney, Trimble & Co. was concluded on the
Oth OF January, 1871, and the arms were de-
hvered in New York the latter part of March,
OF the same yeaF-after the conclusion of peace
between France and Germany. The Navy De-
partment has always sold arms and other sur.
plus material whenever it could do SO adyan-

the sale Of the 10 ,000 arms was in progress with
Poultney, Trimble & Co., difficulty in regard

the bayonets and take q 80 OF Per rifle in con-
sequence; this left the price Of the rides $3.50
each; witness only knew Poultney, TrimbIe &

them az responsible people; witness had no ides
what they wanted the arms for except that they
expected to make something by selling to some
Commodore Augnstss L. Gaze, sworn and ex-
amined by Mr.. Williams His testimony was
mainly corroborative Of that of Secretary Robe
son. The defect In the arms mentioned by Sec
Rotary Robson was defect In the sight, which
had been slightly misplaced; the cost to the gov
eminent of the arms was e14.74 each, and the
net profit derived from the sale was 81 coo;
witness had no knowledge that the firm M med
were acting for either or the belligerents In
Europe; he Was given to understand that the
n ms were sold to brokers in New York and
afterwards resold in London; the only arms sold
by the Navy Department in 1871, besides the
10 900 mentioned, were: 136 Spencer rides, by
Major Crispin. Of the Ordnance Bureau, VA
Department, in February, for "a ESQ., l3 Enfield
