ROBESONS RASCALITY-SECOR AND

JUSTICE.

Washington, June17.-Theh house
committee on naval affairs have
concluded their investigation into
the affairs of the late administra-
ton of the navy department, and
adopted IL resolution looking to the
trial and punishment of ex-Secre-
tary Robeson and of Wood, Hans.
com and Walmaugh, respectively
late chiefs of the bureaus of steam
engineering, construction and re.
pair, and provisions and clothing.
The committee, in presenting the
resolutions, say the evidence for
the most part was taken from the
official reports and records of the
department. The committee find
that vast amounts, which under the
law should have been turned into
the treasury, were disposed of in
secret and improper ways, and the
proceeds applied to naval account.

journal of June 30, 1865, brings up
the close of the quarter and OF the

600, was taken from the reserve OF
uniSSued compound interest notes

to the assistant treasnrers and de-
positaries whence they were put in

temporary loan of Sl9,O0O,0 600 is
represented, but close examination

represent the notes, seven transfer
orders, which simply directed the
sending OF notes from Il place to

Almost since the organization OF

R the part of the postal authorities to
open sealed letters and packages
been in controversy. This decision,
however, may be considered Il
finality in the most important of
these questions. The case under
adjudication was this; In Febru.
airy, 1877, one 40. Jackson a in.
dictcd in the circuit court for the
southern district of New York, for
depositing in the mails a circular
concerning II lottery, Offering prizes,
inclosed in anenvelope and address
ed in the usual way. Jackson was
tried, convicted aud sentenced to
pay a fine of 500 with costs, and
to stand committed to the county,
Jail until fine and costs were paid.
The case was taken up to the
higher court on q petition for a
writ of habeas corpus, and IN APP
plication for a writ of certiorari on
the grounds that the conviction
"a illegal, that the circuit court
had no jurisdiction, that. the act
under which the indictment was
drawn was unconstitutional and
void, and that the court exceeded
its jurisdiction in committing the
defendant Tor non.payment of fine.
The writs were denied by the court,
and his conviction and impriSon.
ment were held to be legal. The
decision was unanimous and very
elaborate. The following is a brief
synopsis of the points decided
First, congress has tull power to
regulate the postal system of the
country, and designate what shall
be carried in the mails, and what
excluded, Second, in enforcing
regulations excluding matter, a
distinction is to be made between
what is intended to be kept free
from inspection, such as letters and
sealed packages paying full letter
postage, and newspapers, pamph-
let's, circulars, etc, purposely left
in q condition to BIO examined.
Third, and the most important point
Of all, that letters and scaled pack
ages subject to letter postage can
Dnly be opened and examined uu-
Ter warrant issued upon oath, par
ticularly describing the letter or

required to authorize the entry of

stitutional guarantee of the right ,
Of the people to be secure against
unreasonable seafhes extends to g.,
thus closed against inspec- ,
ion wherever they may be. Fourth,

# printed matter cannot be enforc- I
d so as to interfere with the free y
