THE AMERICAN CASE AT GENEVA.
[From the N. Y. Herald

THE AMERICAN " CASE AT GENEVA
[From the N. Y. Herald
But it is said by the English journals that
what they call indirect or consequential damages
were an afterthought of our government. This,
to use the midest term, is mistake. Almost
the same language used in the case OF the Uni
ted States, as prepared for the Geneva Confer
ence is found in the protocol Of the American
High Commissioners, dated Washington, May 4,
1871.
From first to last our government has assumed
that England was liable for all damages result
ting from the action of these cruisers. II is no
afterthought Yet, should the Geneva Confer
ence not admit this claim in full. the American
government and people will submit to the de-
cision, because that was agreed to in the Treaty
OF Washington.
REPEATING THE DUTY ON SALT.
From the N. Y. Tribune
Surely, the folly of relieving British Salt from
competition in our markets will not be urged in
the Ways and Means Committee room. Yet the
freeing from duty OF imported Salt will close all
the Salt-works in the United States that are on
the main channels Of commerce. And what
frightful folly it would be to permit that to be
done Have we so soon forgotten the suffer
ngs in the Rebel States for want Of an estab-
lshed manufacture of domestic Salt ? The war
and the blockade caught them without single
Salt factory. The whole Confederacy was
brought to dependence ON a single deposit of
Rock Salt far beyond the Mississippi, on Yer
million Bay, lagoon of the Gulf Of Mexico
Wagons from Virginia, North Carolina, and
South Carolina, waited there for weeks to load
with this necessity Of life. Salt among the
Rebels became almost worth its weight in silver.
What would it become worth in Iowa and Illinois
il war with Spain or England should catch us
without Salt-works in profitable activity
THE EDUCATION BILL IN CONGRESS.
tFrom the N. Y Standard
It has became threadbare truism among us
that the best, in fact the only security for Re-
publican institutions lies in the education Of the
people. This has been said so often, and is so
universally acquiesced in, that one would ex-
pect that parties Of every shade of politics wonld
at least abstain from oposing measure the
object Of which is to aid the canse Of popular
Instructions But the Democratic party appears
to have the fatal gift Of possessing leaders who
cannot look on anything proposed by their op-
ponents in statesman-lke light. The bill
introduced into Congress recently, appropria-
ting the proceeds for the sale of all public lands
to the fostering of education in various States,
is about as unob ectionable as can well be, vet
nearly every democratic member of the House
appears to be opposed to it. Such a course
was logical one for that party to pursue before
the war, but it is very difficult to understand
by what process Of reasoning they reason at
all-they come to the conclusion that they can
bring anything but harm on themselves by
following it now.

The Robeson Investigatiop,

| WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Naval In.
vestigating Committee met this evening
Admiral Porter was sworn, and testified
that since the incunbency Of the present
Secretary Of the Navy he had held an ad-
visory position In the Navy Department,
On the 9Th OF August, 1869, he signed IN
order tor the appointment Of a board to
examine the Secor claims. He conferred
with the Secretary after the appointment
Of the board concerning the money on
hand at that time. The Secretary said
he had q right by law 10 adjust the claims
Of that time. Witness had an impression
that the Secor claims were paid.
Admiral Porter, In reply to question
by Mr.. Archer, said that Mr.. Lenthsl had
informed him that he thought the claims
for extra work were certainly low. In
reply to question by Mr.. Blair the wit.
ness said Lenthal had informed him he
had an order to pay the Secor claims,
and thought that Tor the purpose OF doing
so they would have 10 reduce tho work on
some Of the vessels, as the money would
have TO come out oil the general appropri.
alton fund. Witness mentioned this to
the Secretary, who said: "Very WE'LL I'll
look intoit," meaning that he would not
settle the bills until he had examined into
the matter. 80. ...
Abram Hewett testified that he was
manufacturer Of iron in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania; he visited the Brooklyn
navy yard and examined the iron for the
torpedo boats; tests were very unsatis.
factory; the iron which would have
stood the required tests has been bought
for $S7 ,481, while the contract price was
$130,645.
Secretary Robson examined witnesses
at length concerning the best grades of
iron. lEy' IN idf -, ~.

always accompanied with specifications;
navy yards are superior in many respects
to private establishments; for manulactur.
turing machinery they are inferior in no
respects; Mr.. Bartlett put in evidence the

machinery. Witness said $30O,OOO and
the old machinery were paid Roach for
the new machinery. The old material
was worth about $65, 900. Witness thought
the price Of new engines reasonable
Secretary Robson here said that he con.
sidered such claims just and equitable;
that the Department was bound to pay
them unless debarred by the restrictions
Of some law, and that 1t was his opinion
as lawyer and as an administrative off.
Ger that there was no law which debarred
these claims. Those who thought there
was, were either not informed OF the cir.
cumstances or misconstrued the effect oil
the law. Committee adjourned.
