Something for Secor Robson to Explain

Mr.. Secretary of-the- Navy Robson
cannot afford to allow the Cantell per-
centagcs and his private business rela.
tions with the Cattells to remain longer
unexplained. If the details of K. G.. Cat.
tells testimony published in the Boston
Herald are even approximately correct,
it is clear that the position of Mr.. Robe
son is such as no member of the Cabinet
can properly occupy. No sane man can
believe that the Cattells Systematically
levied percentages upon the navy depart
ment contracts without the cognizance
of its chief. A single corrupt bargain
of this sort might escape his notice. but
that any one could exact commissions
amounting in the aggregate to 100000
of which $40, 900 was received from one
contractor alone-without the concur.
renee of the Secretary and his subordi.
mates, few will be able to believe. The
case is rendered infinitely worse by Cat
tells reci al of private monetary trans.
actions Between himself and the Secreta-
ry The class to whom the Cattels be
long, are not in the habit of loanina
large sums without security, and without
exacting payment of interest if not OF
the principal, or of transferring $4,000
worth of property at Long Rranch for
no other consideration than bald entry
in books of account. There arc too
many corroborative circumstances to al.
low of the supposition that Mr.. Cattell
has been essentially unsupported And,
accepting the published version of the
evidence received by the committee on
naval affairs as at present er parte, the
Secretary must prepare himself to give a
full, true and particular statement of his
relations with the Cattells, of his knowl-
edge of their transactions with contract
ors, and Of the pecuniary favors he has
received at their hands.--New York

FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Surprising Changes in the Cabinet.
Van Buren. May 10th.

A Washington dispatch Of May ed,
says: The Senate, in executive session
confirmed the following nominations,
which were transmitted, by the president,
to- day: Edwards Pierrepont, of New
York, minister to England, vice r. G.
Schenck, of Ohio; Alphonso Taft. of
Ohio, now secretary of war. as attorney
general, vice Pierrepont; Donald Came
ron, secretary OF war vice Taft. As soon
as the senate went into executive session
the nomination of Pierrepont was refer,
red to the committee on foreign relations,
that of TAFT to the commi tee on judicia-
ry, and that of Cameron to the commit
tee on military affairs Senators Gamer.
on, Edmunds and Logan, the respective
chairmen of those committees, soon af-
ter made favorable reports ON the nomi-
nations which were confirmed by the sen
ate without debate-the reception Of the
nominations from the president, their
reference and the reports thereon and
final occupation occupying less than an
hour. The nominations were surprise
to almost everybody, especially that of
Don Cameron, son of Senator Cameron,
The cabinet changes and the nomlna-
tion of Judge Pierrepont as minister to
England were the occasion of great sur
prise in all quarters. So carefully had
the intentions Of the president in this re-
gard been concealed, that, with tho ex-
ception of Mr.. Fish, and the gentlemen
directly and personally interested. the
other members of the cabinet were not
aware of the arrangement until the nom
inees were sent to the senate. Judge
Pierrepont will take immediate steps to
depart for England, and Judge Taft will,
without delay, take charge of the depart
ment Of Justice Pierrepont will proba-
bly, arrive in England before the termi-
nation Of the correspondence with the
British government on the Winslow ex-
trrdition case. Mr., Cameron has tele.
graphed his friends here that he very
highly appreciates the homer conferred
upon him by the president and senate /;
that it was entirely unexpected; that he
is too much indisposed to leave home,
but hopes to be here in few days, and,
in the meantime will decide whether he

ed her father in the management of his
large estates in the succeeding thirteen
years, receiving from him verbal prom

at his death. Worthington died, leaving
no will. The legitimate heirs refused to
recognize any claims of the daughter,
Martha Mason, when she brought suit
for 100000 for services rendered.
The court decided that sending Mar

turning to her father at a later period, did
not re enslave her, and, therefore she
was entitled to pay for services rendered.
