ERIE.

Frrtlor innurv assures lis that the suit
commenced against Jay Gould and others was
not. as we had supposed, instlgated by the
new management, and we do not learn that 1t
has their sanction. On the contrary, we
are assured that they are proceeding care
fully but vigorously in the work of put
ting the affairs Of the Road in the
best condition, and that they are receiv-
ing from Mr.. Gould valuable assistance in
this undertaking. Not having had Opportunity
to communicate with Attorney General Barlow,
we may not correctly apprehend the impulse
and nature of his suit, and fOrbear comment
till more fully advised. Suffice it for the
present that we have the fullest confidence in
the present management, and are not inclined
to approve except on the clearest information,
any interference with their efforts to do justice
TO the long-sufTcring stockholders. Mr.. p. b.
Swccny, We ought to add, resigned his director
ship two or three years ago, and is nowise
responsible for its more recent mlsmaDaRc-
ment.
We wish to say to the people Of the COun
ties through which the Erie passes, "YOu
"have been told that the efforts to change
"the direction of the Road were hostile to
"your interests and calculated to diminish its
usefulness. We ask you only to judge the
"tree by its fruits. If the track and equip
"ment are allowed to fall off; if you find your
facilities diminished or the charges of the
Company increased, then complain; but, if
"the Road be as well run as ever at no higher
crates, and its employees more promptly and
"rcgularly paid than under the old manage
"mcnt, do not hesitate to be just. We are
confident that you will have no reason to re-
"grct the revolution that has made Cen. Dix

spoke of it before, charged us with repeating
"the old ISLANDERS against Gen. Grant" AT
once, we met this accusation with prompt
denial, challenging The Times to make it good
And. that there should be no vague, random
talk in the premises, we set forth and offered
to maintain this proposition:
"That Gen. Grant has In three years appointed
10 office more persons related 20 himself and his family
than all our former Presidents did in their eighty years
of administration"
Reiterated efforts to make The Times either
sustain or retract its charge ii SANDER has at
last elected this response:
1--WE have given az much space 10 that subject "a we
intend to give and the people have made up their minds
about IT, We will undertake TO say that II Mr. Greeley
achieved the object for which he umped the South last
year. and became Gen Grants successor, he would ap-
point more worthless personal friends, dependents ana
hangerson to Office in year. than all his predecessors
had appointed since the foundation Of the Government
TO which THE TRIBUNE responds:
That would be bad, certainly and we must
hope there would be a Senate sufficiently hon
est and Independent to reject all such noml-
nations. But OF one thing The Times may rest
assured: If Mr.. Greeley should ever have a
chance to make the blunder it forecasts, he
would save his unselish friends from embar-
rassment by not running for second term.
You may bear your whole weight on that

SECRETARP ROBESONS TRIAL.


We express the conviction of all impartial
readers of the testimony when we say that
The Sans arragnment of Secretary Robson
has broken down. We do not say that he has
been proved without fault, but that the dis
parity between the charges and the proofs Is
SO vast thai the public will regard the Sccre-
tary as substantially indicated. For, had the
charges been half established, Mr.. Robeson
ought long since to have been consigned to
State prison. SO tremendous an indictment
required very strong backing to save 1t from
utter breakdown.
We do not hold the Secretary fully vlndl-
Gated Without deciding that there was or was
not money justly due to SecOr s. Co., we cannot
find legal warrant for the settlement and pay
ment whereby they prOfted so handsomely
Nor % we approve the employment of Roach
an outside contractor, to make costly engines
for a great war steamship, when there was
ample room and every facility for doing this
at one or more of our Navy Yards. If the
Secretary will ask Congress to abolish at least
three of our Navy YardS-say Che Charlestown,
the New-Yorb or the Philadelphia, and the
Norfolk or the Washington we VIII back
him to the best of our ability. But, so long
as we shall have a superabundance of Navy
Yards, wherein there has been accumu
lated an abundance of costly machinery
for building and furnishing ocean steamers,
those yards should be used when we have work
to do, and when they are not all ovcrcrOwded,
as they may have been during some portion OF
our great struggle. If it ever should be neces-
sary to give out contracts for Government
work, those contracts should be inheXibly
awarded to the lowest responsible bidder after
due advertising. The testimony of MIR. A. ).
Hewitt Ga thoroughly competent expert con-
vinces us that the Treasury has suffered
through Mr.. Robeson's disregard Of this mani
festly righteous rule.

WELL Earl Granville, and Mr.. Addcrly, late
Under-Secretary for the Colonies, he has come
to the conclusion that Canadian confederation
was only preparation for Canadian independ-
ence. We had Nova Scotian story, some
time since, to the effect that a treaty had
been preparing, giving independence to Canada,
in case of war between the United States and
Great Britain. This rumor, absurd as it was,
commanded respect enough in England to
draw forth a specific denial on the floor of
the House of Commons. But Mr.. McDougall
revives the story in more trustworthy shape,
and the scheme, as presented, is neither in
credible nor unfayorable to the hopes which
Americans entertain for Canada.
