THE NEW SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
BEETCH OF THE APPOINTEE.-Hon. Geo.
M. Robesou, appointed hythe President
Secretary of the Navy, to fill the vacancy :
occasioned by the resignation of Secre-1
tary Borie, is a son of Judge William P.
Robeson, of Warren County, N. J., who
was a leading Whig, longaud prominent?
ly connected with the politics of the
State. Mr. Robeson entered Princeton
College in 1811. Upon graduating, in
1317, he entered the law office of Chief
Justice Hornblower, of Newark. Upon
concluding his legal studies, in 1850, be
was associated in practice with Hon. A.
C. M. Pennington. Subsequently re?
moving to Camden, he was appointed
Prosecutor of the Pleas for that County
in 1859. Upon the election of Mr. Fre
linghuysen to the United States Senate
in 18G7. Mr. Robeson was appointed by
Gov. Ward Attorney-General, which po?
sition he resigns fot bis new duties. He
is about ll years old, and holds high
rank in his profession. To his fine le?
gal qualifications ho unites general
knowledge and practical ability, which
give promise of efficiency and useful?
ness in his new position, ^
Mr. Robeson is a strong, decided Re?
publican on all questions of national
policy, aud is in entire accord with the
party which supported tho election of
General Grant. It is a curious coinci?
dence that the only position ever held in
the Cabinet by a New Jersey mau bas
been that of Secretary of the Navy. In
1823, Samuel L. Southard was appointed
Secretary of the Navy by President Mon?
roe, and continued iu this position dur?
ing tho entire administration of John
Quincy Adams. In 1831, Manion Dick
3on was appointed by General Jackson,
and he continued in Van Buren 's Cabi
net for more than a year. Both were !
distinguished men, aud added to tho na
tional reputation by their admiuislration I
of the Navy Department.
FIRE.-About 10 o'clock, on Saturday
morning last, an alarm of fire was sound
ad in Ward 5, caused by the burning of
tho turpentine distillery of Messrs. M.
Goldsmith & Son. The fire originated

from ono still to another, and was tho
result of tho accident. The loss, includ?
ing the still and buildings, will foot up

Taxation.
In order to raise tbs funds i?ec*}8sary(
to pay the Inrge salaries of tue inn?mera
ble oflicers tlmt now swaftu in our State,
aud to make tbe speculations of Scott &
Co. in various publie stocks paying in?
vestments, it bocinum nonos wry to realizo
au enormous amount of money by taxa?
tion. The disproportion of this amount
to the actual value of all tho property
in our impoverished little Stuto was so
apparent, that au assessment Act was
passed, by which a juuta nb the capital
could attribute any vain?? it pleased to
tho taxable property in the State. This
lins been done so that in some Counties
the value of property has been increased
three times its real value, and, upon the
whole, that of the State has been dou?
bled.
The meanness of this policy is only
equaled by its nu fairness. Au honest,
conscientious tax-payer bas returned his
property at its full value-his less scru?
pulous neighbor has returned his at only
one-third. Now, instead of assiguiug to
the property of each its real value, the
"board of equalization" triples ail in that
County. What a reward for honesty!
The w riter of this owned a .small traci
of land, for which he would have taken
$100-cash. Ho actually sold it at $500,
on n credit; and will now give the socu
rities to any ono for SlOU-cash. Tl?
machinery of the tax Act h.*s given thi;
pieee of property a value of over ?vOUO
The writer has rented this year som?
plantations for a less .sum than the tas
assessed tor tho year!
Now. is this lawful? The Constitu
tiou provides that taxation upon pro
perty shall be ad valorem', shall be ii
proportion to its real value, Sec., ?Vc, fo
on this poiut the Constitution is vcr
full, and even repeats. Section 33
Article ll, says "actual value." Sec
tiou 36, Article I, says: "All pro
perty subject to taxation shall be taxe<
iu proportion to its value." Now, cai
tilt* Legislature, by the machinery of an;
Act, legally tax my property at a rat
double its actual value:' Is the Legisla
turo above the Constitution?
Let eery citizen whose property h;i
beeu rated at more than its real vain*
refuse to pay; ta ice legal advice, and, i
necessary, apply to the courts to hov
tho collection of the excess over the legu
tax enjoined. Wo may trust our Judge
for, notwithstanding the party wilie
elected them, they havo shown a dispt
sition to discharge the duties of thei
ellice honestly.
lu conclusi?n, I would call upon.th
gentlemen of the press of the State t
speak ont upou this enormous wrout
It ia a matter that should be well aired.

So strongly, so justly, has this matt?
been submitted, that we feel, beyoti
our entire concurrence and thorough ei
dorsement, we can say little-tue fae
are so apparent, the wrong so flagran

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE AT RICHMOND.
It was briefly stated by telegraph th
rlou. Salmou P. Chase, Chief Justice
the United States, bad boon hospital
entertained on Wednesday last by t
Tobacco Roard of Exchange, iu Ric
mond, Va. Tho papers of that ci
state that the Chief Justice, aeoornr.
nied by the Hon. Wm. H. Maofarla
and several other distinguished gout
men, entered the spacious hall at
o'clock, and was formally introduced
the Board by the President. He v
most cordially greeted by all present,
response to which, he saul:
"I am in the habit, gentlemen, of p:
mimicing opinions from the beach, a
sometimes ! deliver afcharge to the ju
but I see here no bench, except that <
cupied by-th?so gentlemen in front, (
ferring~to,tho auctioneer and his assi
ants,) aud no jury box, unless those se
on either side (refetriug to those oe
pied by the tobacco bidders) may
called such. So I feel myself rather t
of place... You must not expect ai
thing like n speech from me. ' I can o
thank you for the kindness of your w
come, amt give utterance to one sei
ment, which lives in my heart, and m
have utterance from my lips: May C
bless you all, and may all the future
Virginia bo more happy and more pi
perons thau the most happy and ni
prosperous days of her past."'
It was then proposed that tho Boa
with their invited guests, proceed to
other apartment, where provision 1
been made for the comfort of the iu
man. There was ho dissenting voice
this proposition, and, while the edil
and fluids were being discussed,

of welcome to the Chief Justice,
responded to tho call in a few brief,
very appropriate, remarks, and coin
monted Judge Chase for tho great 1

Judge Burnham aud several other?

Edmau Spaugler. who Was tried and
.souteuoed by a inUilaVy commission, iu
May, 1865, on a charge of being engaged
io the plot to assassinate President Lin?
coln, and pardoned by President John?
son, has prepared a statement, asserting
his innocence of all knowledge of the
crime, and detailing the cruelties prac?
ticed on thc prisoners before and after
conviction, Spangler, it will bo reool
leeted was a scene shifter at Ford's tho- !
atro, and was on the stage in that capa?
city when Wilkes Booth shot Mr. Lin?
coln, and jumped from tho box. He also, \
at times, cared for Booth's horse. Tho
ovideuco against him was of the flimsiest
character. Nearly everybody believed
him innocent, and tho military commis?
sion only sentenced him to six years at
the Dry Tortugas, while tho others were
seut for life. Spunglcr's statement is
sworn aud subscribed to, and appears
among the Washington correspondence
in the New York World, of yesterday.
He says:
I have deemed it duo to truth to pro
pare for publication the following state?
ment-at a timo when I hope the temper
of tho people will give ino a patient
I hearing-of my arrest, trial and impri?
sonment, for alleged complicity in the
plot to assassinate the late President
Lincoln. I have suffered much, but I
solemnly assert now, as I always have
sinco I was arraigned for trial at the
Washington arsenal, that I am entirely
innocent of nuy fore or after knowledge
of the crime which John Wilkes Booth
committed-save what I knew in com?
mon with everybody after it took pluoo.
I further solemnly assert that John
Wilkes Booth, or any Other person,
never mentioned to me any plot, or in-1
timitiou of a plot, for the abduction or j
assassination of President Liueotu; that
I did not know when Booth leaped from
the box to the stage at the theatre that
he had shot Mr. Lincoln; aud that I did
not, in auy way, so help me God, assist
iu his escape; aud I further declare that !
I am entirely innocent of auy and till j
charges made against me in that conuee- |
tiou. I never knew either Surrutt, .
Payne, Atzerodt, Arnold, or Harold, or
nay of the so-called conspirators, nor
did I ever seo any of them uutil they
appeared in custody. While imprisoned
with Atzerodt, Payne and Harold, and
after their trial was over, I was allowed j
a few minutes' exercise in the prison
yard. I heard the three unite in assert?
ing Mrs. Snrratt's entire innocence, and
acknowledge their own guilt, confiuiug
tho crime, us they did, entirely to them?
selves.
The statement then det iils tue particu?
lars of his arrest, which occurred on the
15th of April, ioG5; how he was hand?
cuffed with his arms behind bis back,
and conveyed to the navy yard, where
his legs were manacled aud a pair of j
Lilli bandeau's placed ou his wrists. Ho
was next conveyed to a monitor and
thrown into a small, dirty room. Here
ho was kopt for three days, when ho was
told by Captnin Munroo that the Secre?
tary of War had ordered a bag to be put
on his head, which was done. Ho could
then neither see nor eat, but through a
holo cut iuto tho bag near his mouth;
two kind-hearted soldiers took compas?
sion on him, and while ouo watched, tho
other fed him. These tortures were con?
tinued uutil his trial commeuced before
the military commission, and even then
he was carried before that court with his
'head bagged and his limbs heavily,
manacled.
"The first time I ever saw Mrs. Sur
ratt was in the Carroll Prison yard, on
Capitol Hill. I did not see ber again
until we were taken into court the lirst j
day at the nrsenul. My cell was on the I
samo corridor wit'.i hers, aud I luid to
pass it every tjino I was taken into court.
I frequently looked into her cell, a small
room, about four feet wide by seven feet
long. The only things in her cell were
aa old mattress laid on tho bricks and an
army blanket. I could see tho irons on her
feet, as she was generally lying on the
mattress, and was tho last ono brought j
into court. She oqcupied a seat in the
court near tho prisou door. Tho seat
was twelve iucbes high; aud the chains j
between'tho irous on her feet were HO
short that aha always hud to be assisted
to her seat. Sue was so sick at one
time that ibo court was compelled tpjad
jonrn."
Tho remainder of the statement is oc?
cupied with his treatment On the Dry
Tortugas, aud what he witnessed of the
cruel punishment inflicted on other pri
soners, and especially Col. St. George
Leger Grenfel.. Tho treatment of this
officer he describes as brutal iu the ex?
treme, and worse than death, the Colonel ,
frequently declaring his intention of run- j
uiug any risk to escape, rather than "be .
tortured to death there," which ho final-,
ly carried into effect. Spaugler says*: ;
"Ono very stormy night Grenfel, with
four others, escaped in a small boat, and
was evidently drowned near the fort.
His escapo was discovered, but the storm
was so severe that it was deemed too
dangerous to pursue them, although a
stoumer was at the wharf."
Spangler mentions that one puuish- ,
ment was to load a prisoner with irous, j
then tie a rope around his body and
throw him into the water and let bimi
sink, but before drowning to draw bini'
out again. Ho g*ives names and dat** to !
support these assertions. ?
The statement closos as follows: "Dur?
ing my imprisonment ut Fort Jefferson 1
I worked very hard at carpentering aud i
wood ornamental work, making a great
many fancy boxes, ko., out of tho peen-1
liar wood found on tho adjacent islands;
the greater portion'of this work was1
made for officers. By my industry in j
that direction, I won ?some favor in their
eyes. 1 was released in Mureil o! the
present year by Executive clemency."

Change of Folley l?y Secretary Uouttvi-ll.
TueNew York Evening Post, of Trics
?]ftV, in its financial review, says:
The absorbing topic of conversation in
Wall street daring the morning has been
the order of the Secretary of the Trea?
sury to the Assistont Treasurer iu this
city, to-the effect that after the close of
tho present fiscal year and until further
notice, tho bond pnrobapes of the Go?
vern out will be limited to $2,000,000
per month, (1,000,000 cverv nltoruato
week,) instead of $1,000,000, and the
gold ?ales to two, (1,000,000 every alter
uato week,) iustead of $3,000,000 per
month, as for some time past. Tho first
bond purchase under tho new arrange?
ment will be ou Thursday, tho 1st of
July, and the first gold sale on Thurs?
day, tho 8rh of July. lu this connec?
tion, it is inferred that as thc Secretary
purchases this aud next week only a
s"Ancient nmount of bonds ($2,020,000)
to meet the requirements of the Sinkiup
Fund Act during the four mouths of hit
administration, ne has no intention ol
making up tho deficiencies iu the sink?
ing fund which have occurred under thc
two preceding administrations. Tin
modification of the Secretary's policy
reflected in tho order above referred to,
checks at its present point the rapic
contraction which has been so sever? h
felt during the past month, and, b<
allaying apprehensions of a panic, wil
undoubtedly contribute to an casie
working ot* the money market. Th<
new order was generally a surprise ti
Wall street, as is indicated by the disbe
lief of tho reports iu circulation yes'ev
day. The immediate effect to-day ol
the prices of gold, stocks aud bonds wa
a rapid advauce, which, however, ha
been partly lost.
There is a more settled feeling in th
money market, owing to tho action c
Secretary of the Treasury. Tho dc
maud, however, is still active, aud seve
per cent, goid is tho riding rate ou cal
loans, with exceptional transactions i
seven per cent, currency, and at 1-32 c
ono per cent, per day iu addition to tb
log d rate. The Treasury roceipts froi
gold sales during the month of Jnue wi
be over $6,000,000 iu excess of the dh
bursetnents on account of bond pm
chases. According to tho new plan c
the Secretary, this excess for the mont
of July will be less than ?500,000, on tl
supposition that the gold sold brin j
138, and that the bonds purchased co:
116. It should bo remembered, toi
that the last bond purchase under tl
old arrangement will be on Weduesda;
the 30th instant, and that the first undi
the new plan will be on Thursdav, tl
1st of July. Counting the $1,620.000 1
be purchased to-morrow, there will tin
be $3,020,000 bought beforo the fir
sale of gold under the new arrangemei
on Thursday, tho 8th of July; there nr
however, two sales of gold-1,000,000
each-beforo the end of the present fisc
year. There will, therefore, be no fu
tber contraction from this time und
the present policy of the Secretary,
the market for commercial poper the
