SECRETARY RoREsoN ACQUITTED.

At last the report on the Robesor
investigation has been made Mr..
Blair, the Chairman, who conducted
the examination on the principle that
the party charged is guilty until his
innocence is proven, postponed the in
evitable report in favor of the Sec.
Robeson, until the majority were
obliged to delegate another to make
it. The majority report stands up
in manly avowal of the innocence
of the Secretary as shown by the SIAN
derous faisehood of all the charges
against him. Mr.. Blair cannot be
convinced against his will that some
irregularities have not occurred in the
Navy Department, though he is COM
PEELED to admit that none Of the
charges were proven, and to scquit
the Secretary Of them all.
1t is well known that Mr.. Blair has
had a very sore head since the people
of Michigan failed to discover his su-
periority to Senator Ferry. Your
correspondent regrets to see in this
course one Of many evidences that
Austin Blair is not the coming man
of Michigan.
His disposition to stand well balan-
ced on the political fence to look over
q liberal shoulder has long been MOTTO
ed. He is certainly weak brother
in the cause he has professed to es-
pouse and his report is first class
bid for the enemy to be taken to his
bosom. But he will find that Michi-
gan is not Connecticut.

THE REVENUE.

Hon. Mr.. Dawes pressed to vote,
under the Monday two-thirds rule for
suspending the rules of the House,
the Tariff bill without further amend
ment. This action will throw great
responsibility on the Finance Com
mittee of the Senate, as in its crude
state many errors will need correction.
Among other matters is that of en-
couraging informers to report frauds
in the Treasury, by means of inform
er's shares. Without some substitute
for this means, TO which all civilized
governments resort, it will be impos-
sible to collect the revenue on whie-
Ky and tobacco; rings will run the en-
tire country as they have done before
under a weak administration OF the
government despite the use of ordi-
nary means. Without them, fraud
and force will rule supreme. This is
but sample of the omissions which
the Houses haste in finance will nee
essarily eause, unless the slower ac-
ton of the Senate repairs them. Al
ready ''phgge" and fine cut" have
shown their organization before the
Senate Finance Committee sld press
ed a reduced rate of taxation before
it. II this is all the effort they make
to get rid of paying revenue, all will
be well, bat the proposition to tax
whiskey seventy cents will rouse the
slumbering devil of alcohol, and the
U. S. Government will need all its
forces to resist the tricks Of this
monster.

A large number Of earnest workers
for the Cicinnati Convention who
were disgusted with denomination OF
Greeley and Brown, have called a
new Liberal Conversion to meet at
Steinway Hall New Yerk, to-day.
From the names just published as adj
herents, the Convention bids fair TO
be of greater consequence, make
broader breach in the ranks of the
Liberals than was it first anticipated.
THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION

large number of delegates and others

OUR wAsHrNGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, May 90, 1872.
roo EARLY ADJOURNMENT.

IVO EAbL1 aDJONhNSENA.
The jealousy manifested by the re-
speetiye Houses of Congress in re-
lation to adjournment is not calculat-
ed to subserve the best interests of
the government. Many grave inter-
ests will doubtless suffer by the ad-
option of the Senate resolution by
the House, to adjourn on the 29th
inst. after the House had failed to
secure the acquiescence of the Senate
in the House resolution, fixing the Sd
of June as the time for adjournment
This cuts seven days off the time
which the House, according to its
former vote, believed to be necessary
The resolution should be rescinded,
and the Senate and House should
agree to continue the session at least
until the Sd proximo. Hundreds of
bills of great Importance have been
labored on in Committee for months
past only to be thrown aside for
want of a few days time to carry
them into force.
All night sessions of the Senate,
such as that of Tuesday last, when
the elderly men who compose that
branch of our National Legislature
are worn out in vigor Of body and
mind, cannot make up the loss Of the
number of days actually required for
due deliberation on public measures.
Already Washington is full CT Com
mittees to aid the lobbyists in efforts
to put through bills which should not
pass and which if time for simple ex-
planation were given, could not re-
ceive sufficient votes; but in the hur-
nv and scramble of night sessions
these jobbing bills are ingeniously
tackled on to important measures, and
become laws by the dint Of manage
ment and necessity arising out of q
combination of haste and misunder-
standing on the part of Senators and
members.
A single week of working days
will prevent the evil doings of those
professed operators on the haste of
Congress.

CIVIL RIGHTS.

The passage of the Carpenter
amendment to Summers civil rights
bill as a preliminary measure to a
vote on amnesty did not suit the i'm
perious Sumner and he gave this as
reason why he voted against amnesty.
He will perhaps have further occasion
to remember that however disting-
uished a public servant may be, his
personal wishes should be subordina-
ted to the will of the people. In
monarchies even, such exhibitions of
temper are rarely seen and never con-
sidered in good taste, how much
less so are they under our institutions.
The bill as passed the Senate is so
far behind huge pile of other bills
that it has little chance of being
reached by the House during the pres
ent session. The same fate attends
the bill passed Wednesday morning
extending the privilege of suspen-
ding the habeas corpus to March 3rd

Sixth Precinct 6tation-house, On the body Of
William J. D. Ames, who died in q cell On Sun
day morning. DR.. Emmons, the County Physi-
clan, made post n1ortena examination, and
found that death resulted from fatty degenera-
ton Of the heart.
4 man, whose naoe was not learned, WAS
killed last evening on the Illinois Central Rail-
road track, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets. Engine No. Ia. Of the Chicago, Bur
lington j. Quincy Koaa, struck him on the right
side and threw lin some distance. He SO
horribly mangled that death WAS instantaneous.
The remains were taken to the Morgue for in
quest and identification.
J. L. Pickard, Superintendent Of Public
Schools, yesterday presented to the Chicago
Public Library 43 volumes and Al magazines,
and other valuable pamphlets. We would sug-
gost that every person who attends the inangu-
ration Of tho new library rooms tomorrow fore
noon will be doing good thing il he takes with
him some book and presents it to the Librarian.
John Anderson, OF No. 28 Hunt street, while
passing the corner OF Chicago avenue and Dix
of boys, whose ages ranged from Is to 20 years,
knocked down and robbed OF ST. This same
crowd Of lads have committed similar outrages
lately, and are believed tc be the same rowdies
who shot the German al the foot Of Rucker
| street, about q month ago.
TIE TRIBUNE carriers, thanks to the exquisite
typographical skill Of J. s. Thompson s Co.,
will tomorrow place in tho hands OF their pat
rons the Carriers Address fer 1873, beautiful
! memorial of the old year gone and the new
year begun. The carriers deserve well Of thoae
| whom they have served throughout the twelve
| month past, and Jerry Tho1npsons marvellous
handiwork has given tho graceful words they
| bring vehicle of rare beauty.
| At a meeting of tho Board Of Directors Of the
Chicago Base Ball Association, held yesterday
afternoon, the Secretary, Fred. Erby, was di-
rected to advertise in tho Nav York Clipper
| for players for the season Of 1873.
This looks like the organization Of an
| other professional nino. The mountaineering Of
the stockholders will be held On the 18th of Jan
uary for the election Of officers and transaction
| OF other important business.
During tho present agitation ct the Sunday
| liquor aud saloon license questions, it may be
interesting to know that the first requirement Of
! license was made by the Common Council in
| May 1851, when the amount Of license WAS fixed
ut $50. In February. 1853, the State Legisla-
ture passed q law authorizing the Common Coun-
| Gil to fix the amount at from $50 to $500. In
March, 1855, after the election Of Mayor Boone,
the know-Nothing candidate, the Common Coun-
| ell fixed the amount OF license ut $500, and put
in the Sunday clause, at the Bamo time giving
the Mayor power to revoke iconaes. At this
time there wero but nine wards in tho city, and
OF the Is Aldermen 13 voted for and against
the ordinance. In September Of tue came year,
the license WAS reduced to 800, and in July,
1856, to $50, st which figure it has remained
! eyar 6ircn
