Turn on the Lights.

When Mr.. RANDALL put Mr. MORRISON "
Illinois on the Pacific Railroad Committee,
he knew that he was putting one of the
ablest, and, in matters of principle, ono Of
the stcrncst Of the Democratic leaders in
the very place where he would do the most
good; and when Mr.. MORRISON raised the
question a. to the title OF the Texas Pacific
to that portion of the road within the State
Of Texas, he struck the subsidy job IN the
vitals.
We have no doubt that MI HrwITTs res
olution, introduced on Monday and referred
to the Judiciary Committee, will lead to the
most important uS1sti-a....-. '. ...n.e session.
THE SUS has already published the history
Of the remarkable judicial proceedings by
which the franchises and property of the
Memphis III Paso We're swept over TO the
Texas Pacific. Il was done under orders
and DEGREES Of Aliundc JoE BRADLEY. sit

ern District of Texas. and the whole bust
ness is alleged 10 have been fraudulent col
lusive and corrupt from beginning 10 end.
II Is not impossible that this investigation,
which THE SuN called for long since, will re-
veal the true secret Of BRADLLY's casting
vote Tor thc PRESIDENTIAL lfluu against his
declared convictions.
No honest representative, whatever may
30 his opinion of the subsidy policy in
general, will be willing to vote n dollar
20 the Tcxas-Paciiic, while II question
concerning its title to the propert, to be
nortgagcd remains unsettled. And mas
much as Mr.. SCorT's lobby II very
,amorous, we presume that the Judi
,iary Committee will not suffer Mr.. IlEw-
TITS resolution to sleep in it, piseonholcs
II the title of the ToNrs-pacillc is good. II IL,

1t would not be surprising II both Mayor
Ely and Comptroller KELLY. the two most
influential members of our Board Of Appor-
tiOnmcnt, should be found opposing, either
secretly or openly, the reform which Mr.
FIsH's bill aims to accomplish. At present
they have all enormous patronage in the way
Of appointments to fat-salarlcd Offices with
which to reward their political adhcrcnts,
without mourning the odium of spending the
peoples money for their own benefit. 1t Is n
nice thing for them that the Albany Lcgis-
laturc is a scapcgoat on which TO lay their
sins and get clear themselves. When II
comes to taking on themselves the response
bility Of fixing the amounts of the salaries
they are to dispose Of they will naturally
be embarrassed. On one side, their con-
stitucnts will clamor for rctrenchmcnt on
the other their party hacks will clamor for
their pay. There Is no doubt in whose favor
their decision ought to be, but in whose it
will be Is not so sure. That they should be
compelled to make 1t one way or the other
does not admit Of dispute, and we hope that
they may speedily be put into n position
where they must either do so or resign.

sccor Robeson on the stand.

II was hardly necessary to summon
SRcoR EuBEsON before the Committee
On Expenditures in the Navy Depart
mcnt, only to confirm the official record
which he left behind him. Mr. THoMPsoN's
report shows that robson entered into
contracts, through the Bureau of steam En-
cheering, on the 81 ot March, 1877 the last
day he was in Office regularly-for work on
account Of the ironclads Puritan Monad-
mock, Terror, and Amphtritc, to the amount
Of sl,l6j.Ns Contracts We're also made ON
March and 10, ls77-when robson was
temporarily holding over for boilers for the
Tuscarora, Narragansett, Snowdrop, and
Dictator, amounting to 1881 ,G2l 3d. or II total
Tor this bureau OF IL, l96,O2l.0J.
Contracts were made on March 3. 1877, by
robson, through the Bureau of Cunstruc-
tion and Repairs, for fitting the ironclad5
Puritan, Munadnock, Amphitritc, and Ter
ror, aggrcgating s2,l03,G42. Large contracts
Tor timber were also made, when abundant
supplies were on hand. These contracts
were entered into secretly, without adver-
tisement or competition, without an apprU-
priation to justify them in any way, and in
defiance Of law. The object Of SECOR ROBE
SON in these last Illegal acts WAS to bind his
successor, and To favor tho Ring which had
ruled the department all through the pc

rob the Treasury, and to get an extra APP
preparation OF four millions through Con-
grcss, which the Republicans voted almost
without II why or wherefore. But II there
had been n fight, our rotten navy would
have been swept from the face of the sen, in
spite Of the galantry with which it might
have been commanded
The questions put to robson by the COM
mittce do not exhibit that knowledge Of the
working OF the department which Is indis-
pcnsabc to a successful investigation, and
he took advantage of this ignorance to
make lame defence, when his criminal
corruption might have been exposed in a
way to have left him a TT subject for the
Grand Jury. This committee, from the
very start, has seemingly striven to antag-
onizc the regular Committee on Naval
Affairs, and to take out OF Mr.. WHIT
THoRNEs hands the compilations of an invcs-
tigation which he began with such striking
results in the last Congress.
with the motives that operate on this line
OF conduct we have no concern. But IL may
be said that it has proved TO be serious
embarrassment, by distructing attention,
by dividing responsibility, and by allowing
the plunderers n chance of escape, that
could not have happened under n steady
and wcll-dirccted fire from an experienced
and fully informed Investigator like Mr..
WHITrHoRNE. However, SEcoR robson is
not yet through with the inquiry, and when
the answers sent in by Mr. THOMPSON TO a
variety OF categorical questions arc fully
digested, he may expect TO be overhaulod
with even more rigor than on the former
occasion, by the Chairman Of Naval Affairs.

Putting Responsibility in the Right
Place.

Whatcvcr defects OF detail there may be
in Mr.. FIsH's Salary Bill, it embodios a
principle which should command for it
the approval Of every good citizen.
During many years tho city has sui
fercd from having its revenues oxpcnd-
cd by body in which it was repre-
scented only by small minority, and
over which il had no control. We have paid
our taxes, and tho Legislature Mt Albany
has dictated what should BIZ done with the
money. The number and dutlos Of our EN-
ployecs, and the amount of salary each one
should get, were fixed 10y laws which we had
to obey whether We liked thcm or not. When
we complained to our local officials OF the
cNtraVagant cost Of our city Government,
they hayo been ablo 10 say that It Was not
their iault, ana that as they had no power

Lord LEITRIM, who has just been assas-

try. He was most contemplate man and
harsh landlord. Many years ago his name was
struck on the list Of Deputy Licutcnants and
Magistrates for gross and unprovokcd insult
to the then Lord Lieutenant. the late Earl Of
CARLISLE. and since then his society has
been more than ever Stunned by gentlemen.
Lord LE1TRIM's unpopularity among his ten
ants was 80 great that his life has long been in
jeopardy. and il was his custom always TO be
attcndcdby two policemen. fully armed. who
sat so close to him that he could not be injured

whom the assassins extended no consideration.
