BEN BUTLER has come to the front in

Great Fraud, by keeping back the truth.
A telegraph man named Bugbee, in test
irying before the committee the other
day, swore TO the best of his knowledge
that certain kilograms, bearing on Hayes
had been destroyed by rats, and he could
not produce them. Butler, thereupon,
suddenly confronted him with the iden-
tical telegrams, and made him swear to
their authenticity The kilograms were
long to Hayes, through Gov. Tom Young
and Alfred Lee, Hayes's private secre-
tary, suggesting the appointment Of Key
as Postmaster General, and outlining the
Southern policy, (all Of which Hayes
subsequently followed and Tom Young's
reply. The point of the thing is that
these suggestions were made by a man
named "Boulds Baker, secretary" before
the electoral count was completed, and
that Baker was appointed afterwards by
Key to the best position he had to give
him-showing that the arrangement was
made to count Hayes in at any rate by
the Southern cabal of which Baker Vas

OF this number in service, several are
on foreign stations, which can never re-
turn home. Of the eight vessels built
by Robeson, but one is considered fit
for naval uses. Others of different
class are equally unsuited to active duty.
The five ships of the first class, built
nearly a quarter of century ago, and
which were then the pride of the navy,
are all given over as useless for war. Of
the twenty.seven ships of the second
class, nine only are fit for service, and
nearly all the others are rotten and
worthless. OF the thirty ships of the
third class, carrying eight, six and four
guns, only fourteen are available. OF
the twenty. four ironClads, only one is
actually ready for sea, four are rotten
or worthless, and all the others require
rebuilding or repairs. Tens of millions
have been voted for construction, re.
pairs and machinery, which were used
for Jobs to favored contractors on ships
never intended to leave the stocks, and
for engines which the ships could not
carry if they were ever launched. More
baretaced robbery was never praCticed

year with some additional retrenCh-
ment. Mr.. Whitthorne investigated
the late Secretary and the condition of
the department, and it was made clear
that SeCor Robson was corrupt and the
navy worthless. In his report he proves
substantially that there is no navy ex.
listing, either for aggressive warfare or
national defence; that the reports of
Rcbeson were deliberate deCeptions, and

The Grant Administration was distin-
guished for various things In the way Of
enormous expenditure; and for none
more than our rotten navy" For ex-
ample, during the eight years that Secof
Robeson was Secretary Of the Navy, that
department was close corporation in
the interest of a few contractors and job
bers who we'll understood addition, divi-
sion and silence. The leading Republi-
can members of Congress, Garfield, Hall
and others, uniformly defended the false
reports and the fabricated figures OF
Robeson, and these were habtually sus-
tanned by Republican majorities in the
House and Senate. In his annual re-
port of Nov. 10, 1875, Robeson said
"The number of vessels of every class
and description now borne on the naval
register is 147. These carry, all told, l.
1876 guns, and are Of l52492 tons me as

now in a stronger and more efficient cOndi'
tiOn than il has ever been al any time, at
least since the commencement of your
administration.
In his last report, Nov. 20, 1875, he
said:
"There are now belonging to the navy
of the United States l46 vessels, of l50,
l57 tons measurement. Exclusive OF
howitzers and Gatlings, they carry ,142
guns. Our navy is now,
in the character and condition of its
ships and material, in a condition far su'
perior to that in which it was in 1869,
and indeed, far more powetM for our lUar
like purposes than ii has tUer before been in
time of peace"

sive of''various deficiencies, were as fol-
