George M. Robson. Secretary of the
Navy under Grant. is shown by in-
vestigasion to have been one of the
most infamous scoundrels and consum
mate thieves ever entrusted with the
management OF the affairs of Depart.
ment of the Government. Originally
third class lawyer. with very limited
practice, in New Jersey. he insratisted
himself with Grant BY suggesting the
idea of presenting him with cottage
at Long Branch. He was appointed
Secretary Of the Navy in consideration
of personal fsvors 10 the President, and
went to Washington with barely suffi.
cient money to pay his travelling ex-
penses. In few years on salary of
$1,000 . year he returned to New
Jersey millionaire. An investigation
of his management of the Navy Depart
ment by Congressional committee
proves that he acquired his wealth by
sobbing the Government. The testi-
mony from the books of the Department
shows that thirty.one ships, which
originally cost $13. IT'S. 1877 50 were sold
for $542. 524 Al; and twenty ships that
had cost Sl2,6l4. 800 As. ~s ,.,, broken
ap and sold for $54l.83l. l6. less $lOl,-
DAT A, the cost of breaking them to
pieces. Nearly ell these vessels were
sold without being advertised, accord
ing to Law, to give the ring chance to
purchase them at its own price. and
not one dollar of the proceeds Of the
sales was paid into the Treasury. Re-
ports of Engineers of the Navy show
that much Of the material condemned
as old and worthless. and sold as such
for trifle to the ring. was new, aud re-
sold to the Government by those who
purchased IL. at On enormous profit. 1t
is not surprising that the men thus en-
riched at the expense of the people. cry
out against the economy of the House
Of Representative and the reduction of
appropriations. and try to frighten the
people with rebel claims and other
bugaboos, that they may again by get
ting control of the House of Represen
tatives, have opportunity to resume
their plundering operations.
