RoBEsoN's RECORD.
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE House Naval
Committee yesterday acted upon the report
drawn up by Chairman Whitthorne, the
Democrats signing it and the Republicans
asking time to submit minority report.
The majority REPORT recites the abuses,
frauds and illegal transactions of the Navy
Depar r'ment under Robson, and in conclu-
sion submits the report to the attention OF
the Executive, who alone is responsible for
the punishment of the crime, as impeach-
ment can not now be ordered by the House.
The minority report will state that the
management of the office was loose, but
will deny the criminal charges. Demo
cratic members of the Committee say how
ever, that, if the Republican members do
not stultify themselves, they must sign the
majority report, as they have frequently
in private stated their convictions to be in
accord with those embraced in the report.
CoRBIN VS.. BUTLER.
1t is now expecte that the next promi-
nent project before the Senate will be to
unseat Butler, of South Carolina. As
enough votes are assured to Butler to make
the movement unsuccessful, there was for
q while considerable curiosity to know the
real cause of the attempt. 1t is for two
purposes-frst, to put the Democrats on
record, in the hope of preventing them
from ousting Kellogg after the 4th OF
March; and, second, to compromise-give
Corbin, the contestant, the same pay, as
was done for Pinchback.

THE WEsT-LANGTRY LIBEL.

The public in this country, and especially
In the South, watched with great interest the
trial in London Of a newspaper publisher
named Rosenberg, charged with publishing
libels against two very celebrated English
ladies whose reputation for beauty has be-
come worldwide, but against whose charac-
ter there had been no breath OF scandal.
The publications which formed the basis of
the charge against Rosenberg appeared In a
scandalous sheet called Toun Talk, and were
OF the most libellous character, using
the names OF both the ladies In con-
nection with well-knoWn gentlemen, one
OF whom was the Prince of Wales. The
ladies, one of whom was Mrs. Edward Lang
try (the Jersey Lily and the other Mrs.
CORVALLIS West, both with a courage as rare
as 1t was admirable, determined not to en-
dure the insult, and Immediately brought
suit for libel against Rosenberg, the pub
Usher, and the printers of the paper. The trial
OF the suit has been for many days the prin-
clpal topic Of conversation, not only In Eng
lsh, but American social circles, and the
courtroom during the trial was packed with
the fashion and beauty and wealth Of Bel
grav1a, whose presence in Newgate helped to
create popular interest In the proceedings.
The facts disclosed at the trial proved that

After the long and terrible war which the
people OF Paraguay waged against the COM
bined armies OF Brazil, Uruguay and the Ar
gentine Republic, 1t was found that the female
population OF that country was In an I'M
mense majority over the males; In fact, a
late census showed the population to be
100000 women and only 100000 men. To
prevent the complete extinction Of the peo-
pie, therefore, the Paraguayan government
found 1t necessary some time since to issue an
ordinance assessing tax on bachelors Of IS.
The Conseil General OF the Department of
the Rhone in France, has adopted similar
policy. Impressed by the decrease In the
number of marriages celebrated OF late, it has
passed a somewhat similar decree. It Is not
possible, of course, In France to tax bachelors;
that would be Illegal and unconstitutional,
but the conseil has issued an order reducing
the salaries Of all government employees, Off
Gals and pensioners one-fourth, the fund to
be derived therefrom to be expended for the
benefit of the orphan asylums.

blOodshed through four homicidal years, we
are far from desiring to handy words. We
summon up the vision OF o furious Boabdil
bearing down upon us, and we much prefer
to smooth his wrinkled front and plait his
flaming hair. But may we, as mere civil
Ian, who never trod the CORY field or heard
sound OF war, unless, perchapee, the bugle OF
the conscript camp as it tiuttered from dis
tant grove-may we ask our sangulnary and
battle-stained neghbor what he means by
this:
80 far, then. the militia of tho American
STATES Waa proved to be an utter failure. Since
the war, the country being full OF trained sol
alefs and under the inspiration OF a martial
ssp1rlt, many excellent military CORPS have been

cations are thorough and efficient. This is
peculiarly true OF our own State and city; but
their excellent troops. MS Is too well known. are
supported by no State appropriations. while
no State laws promote thsir high condition of
organization, discipline and drill.
II our war-worn contemporary will just
beat his falchion into a paper-cutter and I'M
furl his horrid brow long enough to peruse
the statutes Of this good State he will find
that the matter Of the militia has received
some little attention from our law makers
and that, In fact, State laws do promote
high condition Of organization, discipline and
drill" We feel that we are In a flutter of
anxiety to have 1t understood that we do not
doubt the sixty-battle galaxy or question the
mortuary list. ALI we desire Is to suggest,
with the timidtty that becomes a layman In
such bleeding controversies, that the warrior
OF the Times Is mistaken as to the facts.
About our militia, we are free to confess
that we feel sat upon. In our innocent pride
we had imagined that some OF them were
rather clever limitations Of good militia. We
had watched them go marching by and had told
ourselves that they might pass for veterans
We see now that we must let that fond illtl-
sion slide. A person who has gazed upon
sixty galaxies Of battles, or sixty ballaxles OF
gattles, or whatever 1t is, certainly ought to
know his "biz," and, however vigorous may
be his errors as to the statute book or the
general features of history, 1t Ia clear that
our militia are N. G. They are frauds, and
they shall be mustered out and Sambola
shall spike his howitzers at early dawn. The
