Since Robeson has been In office, he
has spent enough in these ways to make
u respectable navy. But John Roach Is
close e-mouthed man where his inter-
ests are concerned, though in general
so voluble talker, that he conquers his
listener by pure stavlng power. He
should be put through course OF ques-
tioning, but we can assure the commit
tee that they will not find another
Marsh in Johnny Roach.
The payment Of $4,000 to Secor on q
fraudulent war claim, again and again
rejected by Gideon Welles, offers one Of
the best openings for the exposure OF
Robson. The Republican whitewash-
ing committee found the transaction all
right, as Republican Investigating
committee would have found BelkDAp
perfectly innocent; but that the money
was paid in contravention of law, In viC,-
lation OF every principle OF equity,
through corrupt collusion and "a pres-
ent to q lady" was made manifest.
One OF the rottenest places In Robe
sons official career is his connection
with Norman Wizard, man notoriously
destitute OF character, q humbug, q
cnhflAtan ana scamp. Though there
Is not an ordnance officer I'm the army or
navy who does not know this fellow to
be o fraud, and his so-called Inventions
mere clap-trap contrivances and clever
tricks for stealing money, yet Robes0n
has given him hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars for pretended experiments, on
which not one-tenth part OF the money
had been spent, according to the state
ment OF his own assistant. Robson was
hand in glove with this man When
Wizard was going about the New Eng~
land coast In % steam yacht, Mt the time
he was making the Government most
successfully, Robson joined him, and
together they cruised until all the rum
and cigars aboard were expended. The
head OF the Navy Ordnance T,ureau.
Commodore Jeffers, unayailingly pro.
tested against WARDS devices but
Robson kept him, nevertheless, abuIl-
dainty supplied with Government
money, and il he had not been Obliged
to divide with his principal, Wizard might
now be rich man.
IF the Investigating committee really
means to find out, and goes resolutely
to work. we do not fear that II will find
its labors fruitIess. A corrupt official 10
deep In iniquity as Kobeson. one who
has gained profits from so many di-
rections, is sure TO be caught in some cf
them.

About half past seven o'clock last
evening or tof the boldest and most
daring hi,Ageay robberies was perpe-
trated on PORld man, 67 years Of age,
named S. ANn Schwab, by two un-
known It. II appears that about
o'clock2N. SHgn called at the clothing
store Of Mr.. Schwab and requested him
to bring some underclothing to their
room In the neighborhood for the pur-
pose Of trying on the garments and, il
suitable, they would purchase them.
The old man, after they had taken their
leave, bundled up the articles he
thought necessary and proceeded to the
mems room, somewhere on Julia street.
AS he was passing the oyster saloon at
the corner OF Baronne and Julia streets,
he noticed two men, whom he judged to
be Italians, step out OF the saloon and
follow him. Mr.. Schwab paid no at
tention to them until he had reached the
middle Of the block on Julia street,
between Baronne and Carondelet,
when the two Italians closed In upon
him and showed him into an alleyway
that they were passing. Mr.. Schwah
at this juncture discovering that the
Italians were about to deal foully with
him, attempted to resist, but owing to
his feebleness was unable to do any.
thing. He then attempted to give an
alarm when one Of the Tufflans placed
his hand over the old mans mouth
thus preventing any further outcry.
The other party then went through
him, but finding nothing in the way ol
lucre, stole the diamond pin that he
wore on his shirt. They both then beat
a hasty retreat, taking with them the
pin, which is valued ut $500.
Mr. Schwab thinks he could identify
the men IL he should meet them again

The President Gloomy and Dependent
The shadow Of Impending Disaster.
from the Baltimore SUM-

from the Baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The develop
ments OF the last week have produced
more effect upon the President prob
ably than anything which has ever
happened during his term OF office. 1t
Is plain now to perceive that be-
meath his imperturbability there is
an uneasiness and disquiet which
have never before troubled him.
Since the fall Of Belknap he. has
seen but very few visitors outside OF
Senators and members, and the busi-
ness he has with them he dispatches as
soon as possible. He has refused since
last Thursday to see several distin-
guished persons. An air OF gloom and
despondency seems to hang around the
White House. When the President goes
out, he keeps his eyes downcast and
does not seem to care to recognize any
one. With the very few persons tc
whom he talks confldentlally, he ad'
mits that he Is not in a happy
frame OF mind. He seems TO realize
what was said by one Of his friends on
the day Of Belknap's resignation, tina,
the bottom has been knocked clear ou1
of the third term. Whether he sees In
Belknap any signs Of impending disas
ter to himself is known only to himself
but It is beginning to be whispereC
around that the very offence OF which
Belknap stands convicted In the eyes o
the world will be brought directly home
to the President. It was said tonight
by q person supposed to be well in
formed that within three months Gen
Grant would be convicted and removed
from office by the vote Of Republican
Senate
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-03-15

Black presented a paper, which was
read by the clerk. The document COM
menced with a constitutional argument
to show that the House could not pun
ish for the offence, but that under the
law the case should be certified to the
Criminal Court, which alone had
the power to punish. The House
ss ssa asysr,y.d yssEs 'Es sss, By q Is Is right
TO punish for contempt, and had remit
ted the case to the criminal court. The
power to punish belongs to the court
and not; to the House. In 1857 an act
was passed declaring that In addition to
the penalties already prescribed, any
one found guilty of contempt could be
indicted for misdemeanor, and this
was held after discussion to impose
two punishments for one offense, and in
1862 the law was repealed. In 1874 the
law was passed Us 1t now stands, and
gave jurisdiction to the courts, but they
could not impose additional punish
ment. Ii the House could do this the
act would be as illegal as lynch court
or military courtmartial. The state
ment then went on to speak OF the facts
as heretofore detailed in the committee
room, and by the testimony as read In
the House to-day After the statement
had been read, the Speaker, addressing
Mr.. Kilbourne, asked whether he was
prepared to answer the questions OF the
committee.
Mr.. Kilbourne--I decline for the rea-
sons given In my statement.
The Speaker-Are you prepared to
produce the papers called for In the sub
poena d,ices tecltm?
Mr.. Kilbourne said he was not.
Mr.. Glover, OF Missouri, then offered
q resolution, alleging that Mr.. kilbourne
had failed to show sufficient cause why
he should not answer or obey the sub
ppna. and that he should therefore be
considered in contempt OF the House.
Adopted.
Mr.. Glover then offered further
resolution, declaring that in pnrging
himself OF the contempt the said Hallett
Kilbourne be required to state II no Is
ready to appear before the committee
and answer, and to obey the subpoena
d,iccs tccuD,, and IL he answers that he
il ready. then the said witness shall ap-
pear and answer forthwith or as soon as
the committee can be convened. ana
TINT in the meantime he remain In the
custody OF the Sergeant-at-arms but IL
he shall answer that he Is not ready TO
appear, that he be committed to the said
custody for the continuance OF said con
tempt. and shall continue In said Gus
tody until he signifies that he Is ready
to appear and answer, and to await the
further order OF the House and that In
enforcing this order tho Sergeant-at-
Arms shall keep the said Kilbourne in
custody in the common jail OF the Dis
trict OF Columbia.
This was also adopted, and the House
at s 80 p. IN. adjourned.
