The Republican organs are publishing
stories that sEcoR robson is safe nom ex-
posture because. as the Times puts 1t, any
charges affecting him would also damage the
character OF Mr.. RANDALL aud Mr.. WHIT

Of those gentlemen for which there can be no
foundation whatever. whosoever Is IN any way
implicated with this man RoBEsoS is partner
In deep inquity and gross corruption. Neither
Mr.. RANDALL nor Mr.. WHIrTnoRsE, we are
sure, will hesitate to expose the rottenness OF
the Navy Department, but they will rather use
every means OF prying out its secret jobbery

did We feel 50 hopeful Of the complete success
Of true goodness over the wlles OF plotting wick

RICHARD SMITH will vet conquer, and the wick

will repent them VI their EVIL doings and assist
him IN hts benign work, instead of circumvsnt-

As to the financial policy and action Of
the Secretary of the Treasury. we say that BRIs-
row, In fighting corruption and fraud, Is doing
more to bring about specie payments, and to
put the finances Of the country in sound con-
dition. than he could do In any other way. He
might sit In his once aud spin out the most
logical theories OF finance for the delectatioD Of
financial logicans, but what would they avail
practically while the Treasury was besieged by
cormorants plundering It TO their hearts con-
teutS 1t will be a frst-class financial triumph
for BRIsTow when he gets the affairs OF his great
department into such shane that its revenues are
faithfully collected, its expenses brought down
to an economical basis, and It's payments hon
estly disbursed. This will be of unmistakaolo
advantage to the Treasury and the public
Finances.

JOHN e.. OwENs At THE THEATRE. The
reputation Of John E.. Owens as a comedian
is well deserved and firmly established.
II Is built upon foundation approved by
the people. Time strengthens rather than
tweakens it. The man who can resist his
eccentrieities and drolleries must be lost
indeed to all sense Of the ridiculous. The
Richmond public has a kindly appreciation
for him, and greets him as it does very lew
other actors. His house last night was full
and fashionable, and as he was in hts best
humor the result was almost continual
laughter. AS Joshua Butterfly In The
Yictims,'iR and as ,Solon Shingle in
the famous piece Of that name he was
q lust splendid. y His support is very good.
Mr.. Ford has, not the reputation OF employ
ing first-class talent to- support his stars,
but In this case has done quite well. To-
night win be presented 60 Every ybody,s
