Secretary Robson Censured.

WASHINGTON, July lS.-TLe majority
of the House Committee on Naval AT
fairs have completed their report. 1t
strongly condemns the course of Secretary
Robson in transferring the funds to Jay
Cook, ,McCulloch Il Co., at Lond IN, on the
naval account, and charge that such act
was clearly in violation of the law, which
provides that no person shall be employed
or continued abroad to receive and pay
money for the use of the naval service on
foreign stations, whether under contract
or otherwise, who has not been, or shall
not be, appointed by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate. The report
further condemns Secretary Robson for
aiding the above named firm with gov
ernmeRt bonds when they were in a
bankrupt condition, and for sun
dry other alleged illegal acts
and fsvoritism in his appointments.
The report says it is due TO the secre.
tary that there is no evidence that Sec
retary Robeson has profited by any of
the alleged frauds and wrong practices,
although his intimate relations with
Catells, who sold the contracts, can not
be overlooked. Appended 70 the report
is n resolution TO the effect that the CON-
mittee are not clear in their own mind
whether the violations Of the law in the
administration Of the navy enumerated
in their report are
Sua5ctent Ground for lmpeachins

meanors, and they therefore recommend
that the report and testimony be referred

the next session, and il they decide that
he is impeschable, TO frame articles oi
impeachment; and if not, TO report what
legislation is necessary TO provide penal
ties sufficient to protect the puo-
lie service from future violations
of the law. The Republican members
Of the Naval Committee will disagiee to
this report. They are indignant At the
action of the Democratic members in
adopting report in secret session. With!

members will adopt 3 minority report

Abandon ohio! Not Much.

From the Cleveland Plaindealer.
There are $4,000 Democrats in Ohio
who will tight'on, fight ever. We have
A Democratic to A Republican counties
in the state. We now have majority OF
the Congressman in Ohio, and while it is
barely possible that we may lose one or
two districts that we carried two years
ago, we intend to elect a majority of the
delegation. . The Democracy
of Ohio are not the men to lay down
their guns, either at the dictation of the
Republicans. or because they have not al.
ways been strictly in accord with the
views of the Democracy OF. the other
states. All differences will be dropped
in the presence of the common enemy,
and the Democracy in Ohio will make
such q fight in October as will surprise
their enemies, and challenge the admira-
tion of the Democracy OF the nation.

The executive committee of the Dem
ocratic party of this state, have meeting
to-day, together with the candidates
upon the state ticket. We believe it is
the intention of the committee tc adopt
plan for comprehensive and vigorous
campaign throughout the state. This
political battle is TO be fought upon both
sides and in every state, with an aggres-
slyencss and yigor to which past CAM
paigns have been strangers. The party
that wins this fall will deserve success by
earning it. We can do much in this
state toward upholding the hands of our
friends in other states, if we show them
wcll-dlsciplined army, thorough or
ganizstion, and triumphant October
victory.

Mr.. BOUTWELL,, a Massachusetts, Sen.
ater, and lately GRANTS Secretary OF
the Treasury, arose in the United States
Senate yesterday, TO apersonal explana-
ton. He considered himself aggrieved
bv tho action Of the st. Louis Conven-
tioE, which demanded Reform. The
convention, in its platform, srraigns the
ex-Secretary for having so kept the
books of the peoples treasury, that no.
body can tell whether they are right or
wrong. This, the Senator regards as a
personal reflection.
Senator DAVIS responded to the ex-
Secretary, reminding him that the books
of the Department do not correspond
with the published reports; that the
bookkeeping of the present time in the
Treasury office is not the system of book
keeping inaugurated by ALEXANDER
HAMILTON. Senator DAVIS proposes TO
further illustrate the truth Of the Demo-
cratic platform IN q few days.

SITTING Bulls forces are no longer
mystery. The Red Cloud Agency In
disns, being provided with ammunition and
possessed Of such available information
As SITTING BULL required, pushed out
to his support and were ready for Gus
TER or any other force as soon as 1t ap-
preached. The very selection of the
ground shows that SITTING BULL calcu.
lated on the tactics to be employed, and
the thoroughness of the slaughter sttests
how well he was prepared on his part
10 do the work he hsd undertaken
With such force AS CROOK, MERRITT
and TERRY combined, the result should
not be doubtful, though we think il an
unwise policy 10 leave the contest TO
chance, no matter how remote The con-
centration of 10000 or l5, 600 men on the
frontier is by no means impossible. This
would leave the Indians comparatively
helpless, and avoid the necessity of any
thing like severe actions i'm which valns-
ble lives must be sacrificed.

TIE death rate in the large cities for
the past week, has been alarming. In
Baltimore there were 30S deaths against
1876 in the corresponding week last year.
In New York and Philadelphia the in
crease was quite as great. In Baltimore
the Gazette reports 10S deaths from heat
alone. 1t says this hot spell is like a pes
thence. II will be wise for all people to
recognize the fact that in such weather
as that which we havejust passed through
we are all living few degrees from
death. When the body is heated to 1862
sunstroke, probably fatal, is inevitable.
With the thermometer at 99' in the
shade, we are dangerously close to 1t. By
keeping up the perspiration and keeping
quiet we can keep safe; but exertion,
worry, anger and protracted labor are
deadly dangers.
Avoid large or frequent drafts of ice
water. Water slightly cooled by ice, or
good spring or we'll water, without any
ice about it, is much better than ice cold
water. Lemon in cold water is good TO
quench thirst. Ice water or iced tea, at
meals, is injurious. Cold drafts poured
into the stomach with the food, retards
digestion. Cold tea, or cold buttermilk,
or sour milk, or even warm tea, is better
than iced drinks. They allay thirst and
promote digestion. All kinds of spirits,
especially unfermented liquors, should be
avoided, as tending to congestion and
being aids to sunstroke.

was suave and cheerful when the Times
correspondent made him professional
call, but remarked with bland smile
that he hardly felt at liberty To detail the
conversation which had passed between
Gov. Tilden and himself at Saratoga.
On the second day of his arrival there
Gov. Tilden had called on him, and they
discussed the whole situation quite freely,
Mr.. Hendricks being in one OF his talk
stive moods. The following dialogue
took place:
Reporter-Thst was not your first ac-
ouaintsnce with Gov. Tilden?
Gov. Hendricks-Oh, no l have
known him for some time past, but he
impressed me on this occasion as man
of great force of character, and
VERY AGGRESSIVE ABOUT REFORM,
both in principle and in practice. |
was better enabled to study him this time
than before.
R-The Democrats around here, gov
ernor, have been on the ragged edge
over those reports about Gov. Tilden's
determined opposition to any repeal OF
the resumption clause, and especially
about his using all his influence in Con-
sress to prevent its passage. How is 1t
about this2
Gov. HI can state very positively
that all such rumors are really without
foundation. Nothing came up in our
conversation that warrants the slightest
suspicion that Gov. Tilden would not act
in harmony with the platform on the
question.
THE IDEA SEEMS so PRKPosTERoUs
that wonder any one would place any
confidence IN such reports. At the same
time am free to say that Gov Tllden.
acting in harmony with the platform.
and expressing the controlling Issues OF
the day, will make the great question of
reform the leading one in the canvass.
1t is natural that he should, for that Will
give an impulse to the campaign under
his leadership. You remember that he
very plainly intimsted as much IN his re-
ply to the committee.
R,-But about that repeal, Governor !
Have you any hopes that Congress Will
brace up and make 3 record before it ad-
journs -.
Here the Governor screwed up his
righ. eye, and looking dejectedly at his
white psntaloons, replied:
UNDER ANY OTHER CONGRESS
there would be no doubt 70 trouble US,
but the present House is SO constituted
that the committees are against US.

mittee. one from Illinois and the other
