Mr. DANA's CHARGES AGAINST THE NAvY.-Tbe
=, ,1,'oWing extracts are from the Natios Of April
Ii: Comment upon them il unnecessary:
ihe editor Of the Sss recently made divers se-
nous charges against Mr.. Robeson the Secretary
OF tue Navy. He accused him of entering into
partnership with ship-chandler in PhiladeIphis
named Cattcll, and through him making purchases
:" supplies Of various kinds for the navy, i'm
winch the government had been swindled of
over million. and Robeson himself rose from
poverty into aiiiuene-. There were other minor
aecnsaflons, which there is nse in repeating,
as they have not been good. Mr.. Robcsoa took
tne very sensible course of asking for committee
9i investigation, and before this committee Mr.
Dana, the editor in question, was summoned, and
asked to furnish proof He obliged to con-
less that he had No personal knowledge of the
truth or falsehood of the charges himself. and
could not prUlnce anybody who had. In short.
the ease broke down totally. Now, we sincerely
hope, in the interest of decency and of public
morality, that this is the last display cf the kind
We shall have. The substitution Of committees
Of investigation for libel suits is serious matter
for editors engaged in exposing people.

THE ALDfxK.-1xe AIdise for May has just ar
rived, giving further proof of the wonderful pro-
gressive power Of its conductors, both in the art
and Literary departments. II is, indeed, tri-
umph for America that its youthful civilization
has given to the art world publication % unique
in conception and 90 excellent in its development
as The Aldise At the dinner recently given by
the publishers ta the artists and literati of the
country, Prof Catteli, President of the Lafayette
College, spoke as follows: "The success of The
Aldise, like the growing power and influence of
the great colleges is Of the most hopeful signs
for the future Of our country. Every American is
proud to know that have now great schools
both for liberal culture and applied science equal
to those abroad where the past generation were
compelled to send their SONS; and with equal
pride point to snch publications as The ildi.e,
in which the scholarship, and the elegant and va
ried culture Of our age is presented in style Of
Typography equal to that of the oldest and best
publishing houses in the world. Reference had
been made to the great excellence of its engrav-
ings. This feature of the magazine had impressed
the speaker equally with the elevating and in
structive character of its reading matter. Our
busy, practical people need such an education

AldiRe has entered upon mission field, where the
prospects were not very encouraging, and it is
certainly great triumph of its able and enter
prisng publishers that they have already won for
it such a great success From the start they made
large claims for it, and the subscription list shows
that the public response was quickly ''set upa in
the emphatic style known as "double caps" And
the increasing circulation Of The 4idne is some
thing not only for the publishers to be cheerful
about; it shows that, after ALL there is somewhere
among our people an appreciation of what is first
class in art as well i'm literature. Let culti-
vate this aud it will bear abundant and gOodly
fruit With the accession to the management of
The .AldiSe of our learned and accomplished friend,
honored in all the republic of letters the increas

cheney in promoting love for "the true and
beautiful" is not SO much prophecy as the state

cessity of according proper support and encour-
agement for such an enterprise well as the adj
yantages of possession, will be impressed upon all
thoughtful people and we will with pleasure for

A w rong Practice.

Now that the governor compaign" is
over, we of course have no wish to re-
open it, as the duty of all republicans is
to join hearty and cordially in support of
the ticket nominated, but we believe it
to be good time to call attention to
practice which has obtained somewhat
since the delegate system of State con-
ventions was adopted. We refer to the
filling of vacancies in town delegations
with persons who belong in other towns.
g. We remember an instance three or
four years ago, another two years since
and there we're several at the late State
convention at Montpelier. We have no
idea that the result was affected, but the
increased number of instances, shows the
practice to be growing, and one which
will prove to be an evil much more per-
nicious than any ever suffered under the
old mass convention plan. Nor is it an
evil springing from the delegate system,
but practice which if continued will
certainly become intolerable and which
the people will and ought to rspudiate.
For instance the late State convention
at Montpelier lacked but some forty del
egates of being absolutely full, that is of
having full representation from every
town in the State. Now then, according
to the instances alluded to above, il
would be an easy matter to obtain forty
men in Montpelier, or any other place
wherever the convention might be held
and thus fill all the vacancies; or any
section of the State could send on a
large number of substitutes or "jump
ers" to be put into vacancies, and thus
control or affect the action of the con
vention besides misrepresenting the
towns for whom they pretend to act
If towns do not send representatives. they
expect to and should be unrepresented
certainly not misrepresented.
We do not deem it necessary to dis
euss this matter any further now. 1t il
plain to us the practice alluded to nigh
be made huge engine of corruption
and we hope it will go no further, anC
have no doubt our republican State com
mittee will guard against any repetition
of it.

rno noItimore convention.

The democratic convention at Balti-
more was organized on Tuesday by the
election of ex-senator Doolittle, of Wis
cousin, as president He will be remem
bered as a Johnsonite of 1866. August
Belmont, of New York, chairman of the
national committee, made speech on cal
ling the'convention to order, in which he
alluded TO the thirty years hostility OF
Horace Greeley to the democratic party,
but nevertheless declared his willingness
TO support him if nominated, as he had
always supported every national demo-
cratic nomination. The vice-president
for Vermont was w. T. Horrobin, for
New Hampshire, G. NJ. w. Pitman.
The Vermont secretary was George Ii,
Weeks, for New Hampshire, Mr.. Rand.
The first days proceedings appear to
have been rather tame, from the fact,
perhaps, that their main action was a
" foregone conclusion, quite as much as
that at Philadelphia. The old southern
rebel element is largely represented in
the gathering, and rather annoying to
some of Greeley's supporters; both in.
side and outside of the convention.

A MINISTER MURDERS A Boy AT
CINCINNATI.-A shocking tragedy was
enacted at Cincinnati, yesterday after
noon, by which boy, twelve years old
named Frank Schekk, son Of a widow,
was shot and killed by Rev. Samuel j.
Browne, a local Methodist preacher. 1t
appears that Browne has been greatly
annoyed by boys, who, in spite of repeat
ed circumstances, have stolen his fruit.
Yesterday, number of boys were play
ing ball near his premises, when the ball
was thrown into Browns yard, and young
Schekk went TO recover it, when the old
man fred at him, infiicting wound from
which the boy died in a few minutes
Brown was arrested, and subsequently
released on $4,000 bail. The terrible
affair has created intense excitement. A
crowd assembled last night in the vicini.
ty of Browns house, which is guarded
by the police and there is danger from
the temper of the people, that they will
take the law into their own hands should
Brown be found. Brown is eighty-six
years of age, and has been considered
hitherto above reproaeh. He owns prop
erty valued at several hundred thousand
dollars.

The Stokes trial continues, the defence
having commenced putting in their tes-
timony last week, and if Stokes is not
acquitted it will not be for want of his
own testimony nor that of the woman
Mansfield, who bedecked in lace, gold
aud diamonds, told her story to the court
and jury on Monday. She says Fisk told
her but short time before he was shot,
that if she (Mansfeld) refused to live
with him, he should shoot Stokes, and
thereupon she warned Stokes to be care
full. Stokes says that Fisk drew pistol
on him on the stairway, and thereupon
he drew his and came in ahead by shoot
ing Fisk. Mrs. Mansfield is said to have
given her testimony with perfect conf
dence and as though she was princess
of the realm.

The national democratic convention
assembled at Baltimore on Tuesday. 1t
was very plain from the first that a great
majority were for Greeley. They pro-
pose however, not to "endorse" his NOM
ination as already made, but to make
him their own candidate by formal
democratic nomination. This action may
lose him some republican support, but ii
is claimed will gain democrats enough
to more than make it up. This is to
make and mould Greeley into a regular
democrat, and to subject him entirely to
the democratic party. At this writing
Wednesday morning, the formal nomi.
nation of Mr.. Greeley had not been made
but we shall probably receive it in sea
son for third page, or before going tc
press. There is some stiff opposition tc
Greeley in the Convention, but it will b'
overwhelmed.

best to allow the districts to remain as
they are. The scheme alluded to above
proposes to set this county to the west
side of the State, and while we should nc

good people of that side, we hope not tc
be considered intolerably Old fogyish il
