The Issue Raised.
From the Washington Post.

from the NAHniKtuu tusts
1t has been asserted and persistently
reiterated in Republican organs that the
demand for the repeal of the law that
authorizes supervision of elections by
partisan officials was not indorsed by
conservative Democratic leaders.
Now that Mr.. Bayard and Mr.. Ran.
dali have both taken occasion to pub.
licly declare their full and earnest ap.
proval of this demand, and to impress
on their political associates the duty OF
standing by it TO the bitter end. the Re.
publicans will perhaps admit that the
Democratic party is "A unit on this in.
portant question.
Perhaps there is no prominent Demo.
crat who has lately been the recipient
of so many Hattering notices from the
radical press as Mr.. Randall. They have
complimentcd his conservatism and ap.
pladed his patriotism. We think he
justifies these compliments and this ap.
plause when he says: "We ask but lit.
tie, but the principle involved is great.
We ask that all through the country
the right of suffrage shall be exercised
by freemen without the Intervention OF
the army. We ask that intelligence
and not ignorance shall in future pre-.
vail in the jury. box, and that all test
oaths and other obnoxious distinctions
shall be forever wiped out. We ask
that the control now exercised by the
Federal Government, under law
which permits the appointment of par.
tisan supervisors of election, shall and
must cease, for they are only employed
for the purpose of depriving citizens of
their dearest right, the right of suf.
frage.
There is not Democrat in Congress
or out of il who does not respond TO
these sentiments. There are few fair.
minded men OF any party who do not
feel that the position of the Democratic
party is impregnable in its simple sim
pie justice.

The reform which is steadily making
its way in the matter OF expensive, use
less and vulgar funeral pageantry
might well be introduced to the modi.
fication OF the custom Of making wed.
ding presents. gross abuse has here
taken root and hourished. The bust
ness is entirely overdone and has lost
whatever of significance il ever possess
ed. The custom has degenerated into
actual trade and barter. and most sen.
sible people will sympathize with that
courageous Boston girl who. being about
TO be married to "a man Of limited in.
come" as they say in Boston, requested
her dear friends not send any wedding
presents. She was afraid she would not
be able to- reciprocate in kind. This
wise girl of Boston struck the key ynote
OF the bridal present movement. She
would be expected to keep an inventory
of gifts received and a list of the do.
nors, and when any these had wed.
ding in the family she must give some
thing at least nearly equal in value to
those she had. in each instance, re.
ceiyed. We have heard of young
lady who was endowed on her wedding
day with fourteen silver butter knives.
Reserving two of these she put the rest
away in lavender" and when her
turn came TO contribute, to the general
JOY of her friends. she faithfully return.
ed the twelve butter knives to the
twelve families from which they came.
In this case we must suppose there was
nothing said about the loss of interest
on the original investment. Who shall
tell what heartburnings, jealousies and
meaness are represented in the glitter.
ing array Of bridal gifts? The tender.
ness and grace of the good old custom
have quite departed. Unless things
change for the better well-bred people
must print on their wedding invitation
cards, "No presents. "-AhooHd Tribune.

Robson and His Plunder.
From the staats zeI,uns.

From the staata zeitnng.
The veil which covered Robeson's ad.
ministration has long since been re.
moved. He was for eight years Secre-
tary OF the Navy. and in this period ex.
pended money to the extent of $lS2..
496, ,033. Az the same time he sold ma.
terial TO the amount of 100000, 900.
This makes together in round numbers
S2S2, 900 900, or more than 1856, ,0O0,00 u
year. When Secretary Thompson en-.
tered the office its inventory stood as
follows a. A debt. justified by no law
whatever, amounting to $7,0S3. .503; b.
As permanently useless ships. carrying
624 guns c. Two inferior sailing ships,
with guns; d. "a temporarily useless
ships, carrying 200 guns q. 43 useful
ships, with 225 guns. Out of lit ships,
there were but 43, and out of l,0j7
guns, only 225 that could be used.
These figures are by no means invented.
They rest upon facts which Mr.. Thomp.
son, himself a Republican, has confirm.
ed. Thus, in the eight years of Robe
sons administration, the money of the
people was squandered in the basest
manner.
During this time an army of officials
and contractors were fattening in the
Navy Department upon the sweat Of
the people. Materials for shipbuilding
which, according to the testimony of
experts, would have brought to any bus.
mess man $4,000 00o were disposed of
for less than $2,000,00O. Over 100000,
600 were employed in the building of
new men.of.war, and from this sum
sixty to seventy men-of.war might have
been furnished but the great part Of
the money found its way into the pock.
cts of greedy favorities of the Secretary.
In the purchase of materials and new
engines the highest war prices were
paid in the sale of supertluous articles,
prices ridiculously low were taken. One
man bought from the Navy Department
the ship Delaware for $5,l75, and made
by turning his hand over, out OF tie
same ship, $4,000. So from one year
to another the business was carried on
until nearly $200.000.000 and q navy
also had been lost.
A number of laws of Congress, enact.
ed to govern the business OF the Navy
Department were violated in hagrant
manner. Corruption and illegality went
hand in hand without punishment.
A party which tolerates such things
and endeavors to cover them up when
they lie clearly before the eyes of every
man, cannot endure. Such party is
