ROBESOn'S LAST FRAUDS.

The last fraud of Secretary Robson is
now thoroughly exposed, and there is
bitter indignation against the cheat on the
part of the naval officers. The Congress-
ional appropriation was more than sudi-
cient to keep every officer on full pay, as
it was received last year; but the Secretary
having an old deficiency arising from
fraudulent misappropriations of pay money
to other purposes some years ago, en-
deavored by raising a howl against the
House of Representatives, at once to make
a political point, and conceal his official
delinquency. This last fraud of this no
torious cabinet thief has been thoroughly
exposed, and he will be impsached on the
re-assembling Of Congress.

THE CHARLERTON OUTRAGE.

The Charleston outrage should add ten
thousand votes to the Democratic ticket in
New, Y York ,and have proportionate effect in
all the other States. 1t is worthy Of note,
that the intimidation at Charleston was
not an intimidation of Republicans by
Democrats, but an intimidation of Demo
Gratis by Republicans. The occurrence Of
the riot just after Chamberlain had notified
his adherents that he had shipped them
twenty thousand muskets, and that he "was
done with refo1s," marks it as deliber-
ate attempt to forward partisan ends by in.
citing civil war. 1t was desperate at
tempt to check the stampede of the negroes
away from the control of the black leagues
and scallawags in the Democratic party
which protects their rights, and which
secures to them chance for prosperity and
advancement. Twenty thousand stand Of
arms have been sent from Washington to
Charleston, to arm the Republican negroes
Of that city against the Democratic negroes
Let us hope that Southern patience and
Northern indignation will render the mus.
kets useless. Our Republican official had
better study the history Of all who have
for time succeeded in smothering the
voice ofthe people by means of the mil.
itary power. 1t is perfectly clear tina,
nothing but the bayonet can enable the
present Republican officials to perpetuate
their control of the Government.

Lieutenant HcYernor 7. Mueller, who
was elected " ne Republicans Of Ohio
the same year that Allen was elected Gov
ernor by the Democrats gives Mr.. Schurz
. dignifed but terrible scathing. Lieuten-
ant Governor Mueller was q member Of
Schurz's New York Conference, and is 20
in enseiy disgusted with Schurz's unrea-
sonable and unjusti6able course, that he
feels called upon and justified in scathing
him. II, says Mr.. Mueller, the danger Of
pilden's administration il as great as Mr..
Schurz now pretends to fear, review Of
his own agitation actively during the past
fivey years, would certainly ovsrwhelm his
great responsibility. for no one more than
he.has successfully discredited the Repub-
liean party in the eyes Of the people; no
one more than he has contributed to the
thinning out of its ranks. Mr.. Mueller
says that whatever Mr.. Schurz may main
tain in order to reconcile the contradic-
tions between his previous position and
that of to-day, he will not be able to
overcome the logic Of the following propo-
sitions:
l. If his activity in behalf of Reform
since 1871, which eliminated in the New
York conference, has been earhestly
believed and justified, his present position
is objectionable. untenable and inconsis-
tent.
2. If that conference purposed more
than to be mere comedy, Mr.. Schurz
cannot possibly favor the election of Mr..
Hayes. And in case that Mr.. Schurz did
not feel able to abide by his duty to sup
port Mr.. Tilden, the 'only thing left for
him to do was to reconvene the confer
ence."
8. If Mr.. Schurz in his sovereignty be-
lieved that he could set himself above this
due regard and obligation towards the
members of the conference there was left
for him the only alternative to maintain
passive or neutral, or at least a reserved
attitude, even if merely for the purpose of
giving to his citizens and former
Reform companions the suspicion that his
position in this campaign is based on per-
sonal grounds rather than patriotic mo-
tives. .
The above proves conclusively that Mr..
Schurzs convictions are bought convic-
tions.

GIVE THE POOR ROOM AND AIR

A recent report Of DIR, Bell to the Leg
islature of New York, shows that at a very
low estimate the cost Of the extra sickness
and extra mortality Of the city of New
York, caused by the over-crowded tene-
ment houses, is not less than six milliors
of dollars per annum. This,h says, is the
cost of premature deaths. lives lost, and
funeral expenses chargable against the ten
ement houses. The pecuniary loss through
excessive is nothing when compared with
the needless sorrow and decentralization
bred in these houses.
It seems to be a fact that one-half of the
citizens of New York are crowded into
houses entirely unfit for their accommoda-
tion, and that it is impossible for the chill
dren of the poorer classes to.grow up either
healthful or virtuous men and women. The
poor, besides their other privations and
sufsrings, are forced to see their little
onesdie simplyaor the want: offresh air and
cleanly surroundings. The City Physicians
report shows that in two contiguous tene-
ment houses containing "A families and
349 persons, lis were ill on the day Of ex-
animation, which was in the healthiest
part of the year; that in single year
s,725 peesons died in the tenement houses
over their due proportion Of deaths, and
died from the effects bf overcrowding, and
half of these deaths were Of infants and
children under twelve years of age.
1t is terrible to reflect upon the horrors
and indecencies of the tenement houses of
New York when there is remedy of the
evil. While more than one-half of the
citizens are thus crowded there is ample
land on the island and surrounding country
to accommodate them with roomy lodg-
ings, and rapid transit would cure the
worst evils of this tenement system. New
York needs rapid transit, and it seems that
nothing but the street railroad monopolies
prevents New York from rapid transit that
would enable its poor the northernextrem
ity of the city cheaply and rapidly, and
thus save thousands of lives and millions
of dollars annually.
Gods curse should descend on the heads
of those who bar the way to rapid transit
in the city Of New York. Rapid transit
would enable thousands Of families of the
laborinx poor Of New York to remove to
the upper portion Of the city, and free
themselves from the horrors and indecen-
cies Of the tenement houses in the heart OF
the city, where SO much sorrow, suffering
and Generalization are bred.
