WE are gratifed that the Republican
newspapers in Ohio, "wich is postmas-
ters," and those "wich" want and expect
to be, support Hayes and his Southern
policy. 1t is great change of tune for
some of them. This shows the salutary
influence Of hopeful official anticipation.

secor Robson and Admiral Porter.

The report OF the "ecrctary of the Navy
and the accompanying papers make an
unusually large volume this year, as If
SECoR RoBEsON thought that mere bulk
would add TO his consequence in this his
dnal opportunity to flourish before Con-
gress and the country. 1t is stuffed with
trashy reports from subordnates, who
were disgiaced before the investigation
last year for corrupt COLLISION with con-
tractors, and who under any honest Ad-
ministration, would not be allowed TO hold
places Of honor or trust in the navy.
For the first time the regular report Of
Admiral PORTER ais suppressed in this pub
lie document. while his Interiors are thrust
forward into prominence, rs II to make
the intended indignity more marked. The
reason for the omission, which Is charac-
teristic Of the meauness and maignity of
SEooR RoBEsoS. is no secret. Year after
year RoBEsoS has pretended that the
navy was strengthened and on formida-
BILE footing. to account for the enormous
appropriations which had been squandered
aud stolen by the Ring, OF which he HIM
self, the CATrELis, NoBLrr. and few
others. were the chiefs.
In his report OF 1876, Admiral PORTER
exposed this deception, aud proved that
the navy was in u worse condition than
ever before, aud utterly unable TO cope
with even the secondary powers OF Eu-
rope. Robson had expended over one
hundred and fifty millions of dollars up 10
that time, and there was nothing to show
for this enormous sum but collection of
rotten hulks, a few iron-clads behind the
age, and the sudden wealth of jobbers who
swarmed around the department aud
made their fortunes by favoritism and
Addition, Division, and Silence. PoRrER's
testimony before the investigating COM
mittee was equally damaging, and was
one of the causes why robson, after mis-
applying the money voted for pay of the
navy to the benefit Of his Ring, issued the
order to furlough officers In executing
that edict, he took care to retain on the
active list all who had succumb, ID to his
dictation, with full pay, and to furlough
those who had independence enough to
confront his authority with truthful testi-
mony
1t is possible that the pressure Of the
Presidential question may save RoBEsoN
from the impeachment and degradation
which he deserves, although hs escape is
by no means certain. But whether he is
impeached or not, he will leave the Navy
Department in a few weeks branded as a
veual jobber, who sacrificed the interests
of the service to his own gain and that Of
his confederates, and who will he known
