The Wbitewasbiuc of Robe.on.

SRCOR Robson Is perfectly satisfied with
the minority report Of the Naval Commit
teo Of the House, signed by the Republican
members, and whitcwashug him in the
most approved fashion. He says IL il an ad-
mirable paper in every way. and that it Is
conclusive as tu his personal worth, official
integrity, and patriotic services during eight
years Of Grnnti-m. No man II more compc-
tent to speak on this subject than he Is, for
RoBEsON prepared tho report with hls own
hand, and he could well afford TO be liberal
when reviewing his career in the Navy DE
partmcnt, and giving himself character
He has succeeded in defeating action by
trickcry of various kinds. 80 that the stat
ute of limitations will apply tO the law un-
der which he might have becn sent to the
penltnntiary. and like many other crim-
nails now high in favor at Washington, he
will escape the penalties Of corruption and
malfeasance in Office. But he cannot hope
10 escape tho judgment Of an intelligent
people, VINO regard him us n jObber and
plundercr. The Republican party nominated
and elected him member " the next Con
gress, and the Republican members of this
Naval Committee have outraged truth by
signing report which is monstrously false
in its chief allegations. A party which vol
UNFAIRLY assumes this sort Of responsibility
and willingly bears such Disgrace, may eX-
poet 10 take the consequences at the polls.
Carried away by the SUCCESSES ~ lnst fall
which were mainly achieved bY the intcn-
tional absence Of hundreds of thousands ol
dissatisfied Democrats and independents
the Republicans seem 10 have lost their
heads, Just as the Democrats did in 1874
when from like cause they conquered n
large majority IN tho House Of Representa-
tives, and replaced IL with one nearly as
great, Both parties were rcbuked by Tho
sober second Thought Of their own friends

The sun., 1879-02-28

For three years past the Republicans have
controlled both branches Of the Legislature
and just at the close II each session they
have contrivcd to get the apportonmcnt
question into deadlock between the two
HOUSES, and thus prevent tho passage ~ u
uill Not long since the prc-cn, Assembly,
In which the Republicans have majority OF
more than sixty passed n pretty fair bill
FOR the apportioning Of that branch of the
legislature. This hill gave to the county
NJ New York twcnt y-ive members, and 10
Kings thirteen. IL went through by a
lnrgc majority. The bill then reached the
senate. whcrcupon the Republicans seized
the opportunity to take up the Assembly
bill in the absence Of many Senators, and
carry an amendment by a close vote r"1uc-
Dg the representation of New York 10
twenty-thrcc, and Of Kings TO eleven.
We take it for granted that this is the
initial step toward another deadlock be-
tween the Senate and ihc Assembly. Is this
honest legislation Can the Republican,
anord tO set at naught the plain provisions
VI the Constitution in this manner for the
iourth time This is not party question
Tho Constitution solennly cnioins IL upon
the Legislature To apportion the state for
senator's and Asscmblymcn according to the
census of 1875. For three sessions the Re-
publicans have rcsortod to the must un-
worthy tricks for cvading the performance
of this duty, and certain desperate Rcpubh'
ean Leaders seem to ho training their forces
Tor a repetition Of this grave offence.
We would fain hope that there arc suill
.lent number Of honest, sensible Rcpuhli
cans In the Legislature tu save their party
rom further Disgrace by thwarting The
schemes of these plottcrs. Let them hoai
m mind that the question at issue involve
The fundamental principle Of representative
government, and that il is the right Of th'
people TO have the State duly apportioncC
80 that their representation in the Lcgisla
lure which cnacts ali their laws shall be- jus
and equal. Are all the Republicans in th'
Senate and Assembly deaf TO the calls of cX
Po1icncy as we'll as duty?
