The Threat Comes from Robson.

After the laundering effort OF GARFIELD in
favor Of having federal soldiers at the polls,
| and the rant of FRYE, the direct, Ineligible
and impudent threat Of SECoR robson, con-
tanned in his speech OF Thursday last, COM
pletes all that IL Is necessary for us to know
OF the intentions OF the Republican leaders.
We had hardly supposed that this man. the
plundcrer Of millions OF the peoples money
and the type OF GRANTS vicious adminlstra-
tion would be selected to define in tho House
Of Representatives the exact limits TO which
1t is proposed to go in order to keep the Re
publican party in possession Of the offices OF
the Government. SEcoR RoBEsoN does not
invoke the angel of COP to wither the hand
OF the Democracy He threatens the inter-
vention Of an altogether different agent.
Here are RoBEsoN's words:
THE last final blow at the liberty Of republics has
come from the sword but 1t has not been until some
branch Of the Government has usurpcd to itself rights
which It did enjoy under the Constitution and laws Of
the country It has not been until branch Of the
Government-usuaily abranch claiming more specially
to represent the popular wil-has usurped itself pow
ers that did not belong TO it
at Is from disrupted systems OF government that mil
iary power arises Its In the confusion the disorder
the lack OF wrs to be executed by the civil officers the
law II is within the smoke such contest that the
man on horseback rides In, and liberty Is sacrificed TO
order
The strong arms the clear heads the brave hearts Of
our people, would yield to a standing army,
Il million strong uuts beims ahsohsN Hecest. uier
u. Q -Ii a'r arbitrary Jeer n uresponsis
"'eIrber Of hs system, to sIerta0s hbcty to order"
This impudent threat is addressed by Sc
COR robson TO that branch OF Congress
which most directly represents the SOW
ereign people. The House OF Representa-
tives, now disgraced by his presence, is in
his eyes an irresponsible member" OF the
system OF Government. Legislation by the
House Of Representatives is usurped and ar
bitrary power and IL the House persists in
doing its duty by repeating an obnoxious
and unconstitutional law, it may become
necessary TO call in the man on horseback,
and sacrifice liberty 10 order.
That is the view Of the situation which is
taken by SECoR robson and the other
plunderers who are waiting TO welcome the
man on horseback, and TO profit by the sac
riflce Of liberty to order.

5000. Within two years they organized a
system for swindling the Government out OF
postage duo from the Gdsette, and when
their base conspiracy was exposed by de-
tectives they endeavored to throw the en-
tire criminality upon Deacon RICHARD
SMITH, so that he narrowly escaped actual
imprisonment in jail for their wickednessl
Such are few Of the many grounds on
which we lmpute dark depravlty to the part
ners OF Deacon RICHARD SMITH. We have
frequently urged him to repudiate them en-
tirely and Danish them from his office. Ho
has not yet done so. He continues up to
date to suffer with them, and to prolong his
generous hut utterly hopeless struggle for
their conversion.
~ wish you would settle bet by stating the real cause
Of Deacon RICHARD sSun's alleged bowleggcdncssn
This last question comes to us from Clncin-
natl, where II anywhere, there ought to be
accurate knowledge concerning the matter.
We shall not try to answer it. Various theo-
ries have been advanced to account for the
alleged eccentricity Of the truly good
mans lower limbs, incorrectly termed bow
leggedness by our betting correspondent.
Some have held that the popularity is con-
ally succumbed under the crushing weight
OF anxiety and tribulation piled upon him
by the conduct of his wicked partners. 1t
has even been ingeniously suggested that
in carly days, before the completion OF
Dixmyth avenue. Deacon RICHARD SMITHS
nightly wanderings through the devious
and crooked paths that led from the Gdsette
Office to his house at Clifton, in the suburbs,
caused his legs to assume their present
alleged tortuous shape.
Although we are firmly OF the opinion that
this alleged physical popularity does not de-
tract in the slightest from Deacon RICHARD
SMITHS moral lustre, we regard the ques-
tion put by our Cincinnati correspondent as
an interesting and important one. What oc-
casioned the alleged parenthetical appear
ance OF Deacon RICHARD SMITHS legs? For
the most scientific and satisfactory answer
TO this question we now OFFER as a prize,
proof impression on India paper OF a fine en-
craving Of the truly good man himself.

all the weight Of It's affiuent and respecta-
BILE members had impaired during half
century.
1t Is significant, however, that BoUCHARD
has appealed in vain to his old friend GAM
BETA for cooperation In his propaganda.
To many keen observers Of France it seems
chimerical TO look anywhere for a middle
ground between skeptcism and Romanism.
Nor can IL be denied that there Is little in
the modern attitude and traditions OF tho
French evangelical communion to endcar 1t
to the bulk OF the population. It's theology
has seemed at times little less dogmatc and
formal than that Of the Church OF Rome,
while It's worship Is more austore. Nor, II
they may judge from experience, could the
French republicans expect from the ascen-
dancy OF the Protestant faith anything
better than restoration OF the Orleans
monarchy, with which most OF its leading
communicates have been identified. How
ever interesting, therefore, may be this at
tempt at Huguenot revival, the news OF
which has flown through the whole Protes-
tant world, we scarcely anticipate from 1t
very striking or permanent results.

Last Words on Abandonment.

The Apportionment bill agreed upon by
the Conference Committee OF the Senate and
Assembly is unfair TO New York and Kings,
and indeed to nearly all the counties lying
below Albany. But 1t is the best that can be
hoped for from this Legislature, and per-
haps from any other wherein the Republl-
cans control both Houses. Therefore, we
think those who have respect for the Con-
stitution and for representative government
should yield TO the necessities OF the emer-
gency and vote for the bill, and thus close a
long contest which has brought reproach
upon the State and covered with disgrace
the controlling elements in the Republican
party.
1t is rumored that bad faith will be dis
played at the last moment by some desper-
ate Republican leaders, and that the com
promise measure OF the Committee will fail
on the call of the yeas and nays, or be left 10
perish in deadlock between the Senate and
Assembly. We can hardly credit this, for
after what has transpired such a result
would tarnish the Republican party with
lasting dishonor

On the 23d day Of December, the very day
following the publication OF our nomination
OF Mr.. REID. Mr.. EvARTs addressed 10 that
gentleman the following letter:

There is, after all, nothing surprising in
the speedy compliance by tho Secretary OF
state with the suggestion OF this journal.
Mr.. EvARTs was one of the original founders
OF The SUN as 1t exists to-day. And, al
though he some time since ceased TO be a
propreter-having sold out his stock at
very large prolific has always continued
TO be one OF our most attentive and appre-
cative readers.
Probably, partial as Mr.. EvARTs is to Mr.
REID, The would still have preferred as a
matter OF personal choice, to confer this APP
pointment on the editor OF The SUN with
whom he has been longer acquainted
although IT is TO us that Mr.. EvARTs has
always attributed his defeat when he ran
for United States Senator against DIR. GREE
LEY, the honored founder OF the very same
Tribune but Mr.. EvARTs knew very we'll,
that, holding, as we do, the title OF Mr.
HAYES to the Presidency TO be void, we
should not deem any appointment by him to
be valid.
The whole thing exhibits Mr.. EvARTs as
more adroit political manager than he has
generally been considered.

A Graceful Recognition OF Two Jour-
mails.

Mr.. EvARTs did very handsome thing
when he adopted our suggestion to appoint
Mr.. WHITELAw REID Minister to Berlin. 1t
was a master stroke OF policy in him to
make, by this single act, a graceful
recognition Of both THE Sun and
Tribune, The significance OF the act
was greatly heightened by the promptness
with which 1t was done. By reference to
dates 1t will be seen that it was on the very
next day after THE Sun came out in favor Of
Mr.. REDS appointment, that the mission
was rendered to him; and we believe The
Sun was the only paper in tho country In
which Mr.. REID was recommended.
On the pod day Of December, 1878, the fol-
lowing was the leading article in The sun:
