LIGHTNING P-ROOF-READER.
Death Ofthe One Man Who Could
Readily DeciPher Horace
G~reeIey's ChirOgraphy.

New York SUM-
Mr.. John G. Robinson, known as
the lightning proof reader, was found
dead in bed at his residence in Will
llamsburg yesterday morning. MIR.
Robinson was born in this city forty
years ago. He attended school in the
Seventh ward, and entered John A..
Gray's printing establishment in Cliff
street as a copy boy" when thirteen
years old. In 1854 he entered the
Tribune proof-room. In deciphering
manuscripts he was a marvel.
He read Richard Hildreth's, Horace
Greeley's, Coum Pulaski's, Gerrit
Smiths aud other Grabbed manu-
scripts almost at a glance. When Mr..
Greeley himself was unable to de-
cipher one Of his own written SEN
fences ne referred it 10 bir. Robinson,
who looked at it steadily for a minute
or more and made out its meaning.
In the municipal canvass of 1866 a
letter from Mr.. Greeley, written I'm
der the Spingier house heading. was
sent to the night editor of the Trib-
uns. 1t enclosed an editorial article
in the same handwriting, favoring the
election ola well-known Republican
politician, who was running on an in
dependent ticket. 1t was the
night before the election. The article
was put in type. In asserting the
copy before reading the proof the
manuscript came under the eye of
Mr.. Robinson. He examined it as a
paying teller would examine a doubt
ful bill. That's not the old man
handwriting" he said. He was so
confident that it was a forgery that he
called the editors attention to it, and
the article was suppressed. So skill.
full was the forgery that on the follow.
ing day Mr.. Greeley said that had he
not known different he would have
taken it to be his own handwriting.
Mr.. Robinson's rapidity in reading
a proof sheet aloud was unparalleled
and his enunciation was perfect.
Timed by the writer, he has pro.
nounced 696 words in a minute. This
is at the rate of Al ,76O words per
hour. The words we're pronounced in
! a monotonous tone Of voice without
accent, and came from his lip3 as
though sent from the wheels Of a ma.
chine. Before the death of Mr..
Greedy, Mr.. Robinson was given charge
OF the Tribune proof-room. He lef
that journal in 1875, and accepted (,
/ similar position on the Sun.

Whatever may be said about the

be admitted that the scandals

Pensions for ex.RobeIs.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-An attempt
was made In the House this afternoon
to take from the calendar, under a sus
pension of the rules, the bill to place
on the pension rolls all the survivors
OF the Mexican, Seminole, Creek and
Black Hawk wars. The bill also pro-
vides that the surviving widows of de-
ceased officers, soldiers and sailors Of
these wars shall be peusionsd.
The sixth session Of the bill exeepts
from its benefits ali persons who are
"uDder the political disabilitie imposed
by the Fourteenth Amendment Of the
Constitution Of the United States." "
This section was put in the bill to pre-
vent another "Jeif Davis debate"
The fifth section repeals the law
which prohibits the payment Of pen
sjons 10 persons who have been disloy-
al, and it is this section which arouses
tbs strongest opposition. An entering
w9dge for tho overthrow of this law
wGs introduced in an act passed 2 years
ago, which provided that survivors
Of the War Of 1872 shoula be penHioned
even II they had engaged in the Rebel
lion. Tnis ac. 10 now to be used az a
weapon to wipe out the prohibition
altogether.

Incorporating in his resignation the
statement that l. was not a Christian,

his resignation in its hspds. The con-

benediction. He recommended the
sale of the hymn books for waste pa,
per. The letter of resignation covers
nine pages Of legal cap paper, and is
full of strong language.
The sermon which preceded is qnite
as remarkable as the resignation. It
rerounces all supernaturalism, and de-
clares the worship of God, as it is usu-
ally conducted, as mnch idolatory as
bowling down to stick or stone. The
announcement that he was to resign
had filed the church, aud the manner
and matter Of the resignation produced
decided sensation and great division
of sentiment among the members. An
exciting time is expected on Wednesday
night, when the resignation is to be
acted upon.
