The greatest mind iu England, while its

resorted to taking bribes. Here is the se

in the case taken, together with the sever

liesolced, That the testimouy in the case
of William W. Belknap, late Secretary of

high crimes and misdemeanors when in
office, and to inform that body that formal
articles of impeachment will in due time
be presented, and to request the Senate to
take such order in the premises its they
may der,m appropriate.
Mr. Clymer then proceeded to read the
testimony of Caleb P. Marsh, taken yes
terday before the committee, showing that
he had paid Secretary Belknap about

as post trader at Fort Sill, Indian Terri
tory. The readiug was listened to with
intense interest by the members r.f the
House, and by a large audience in the
naileries. In the more pathetic portious
of the narrative Mr. Clymer was frequent
ly forced by his feelings to pause until his
voice recovered from its tremulousuess
and himself from agitation. At the close
of the reading, and after the many mem
bers who had taken up positions near the
Clerk's desk (the better to hear the testi
mony and accompanying statements) had
relumed to their proper seats, Mr. Cly

rose and said, with great emotion : Mr.

dressed itself alike to every member of the
House.

Mr. Bobbins, cf North Carolina, sug
gsted that there was a great diiierence
between a conviction on impeachment and
a conviction on indictment. In the latter
case the ruati might be pardoned by the
Executive, but iu the former case he could
not be. As to the suggestion as to th im
ptachment of Jeflerson Davis, he replied
that it had been decided that Sea na tor could
not be impeached, not being an officer of
the Uui led Stales. The debate being clos
ed the House proceeded to vote ou the reso

IMPEACHMENT OF HKLKNAP.
Washington. March 3, 1670.
At one o'clock a committee of the House
of Representatives, composed of Messrs.
Clymer, Bobbins, Blackburn, Bass and
Danforth, appeared at the bar of the Sea
ate, and were announced by Sergeanl-al
Arms French. Upon being recognized bj
the President jro tan. of the Senate, Mr.
Clymer said :
Mr. President : In obedience to the or
der of the House of Representatives we
appear before you, and in the uame of the
House of Representatives aud ot all the
people of the United Slates of America we
do impeach William W. Belknap. late Sec
retary of War of the United States, of
high crimes and misdemeanors while in
that office, and we further inform the Sen
ate that the House of Representatives will
iu due time exhibit articles of impeach

and in their name we demand that the
Senate take an order for the appearance of
said W. W. Belknap to answer.
Mr. Ferry, President pro trm. of the
Seuate Mid :
Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the com
mittee : The Senate will tnke an order in
the premises.
During the time occupied by the proceed
ings there was great interest manifested in
the galleries, which were crowded. On
the floor were a largo number of persons
entitled to t'je privilege thereof, and nearly j
every Senator was in his seat. Liter on !
Mr. Edmonds called up the resolution from j
the House and it was read, together with f
the statement of the committee above j
mentioned. Mr. Edmunds then submitted '
the following :
Ordered, that the message of the House
of Representatives relating to the impeach
ment of William W. Belknap bo referred
to a select committee, to consist, of five
Senators.
Mr. Edmunds said he submitted this or
der in accordance with the usual custom,
though he did not see why the matter
should not go to one of the regular Tjom-
i miltees id the Senate. As it was the cus
lorn to have a select committee he asked
that the order be adopted. Mr. Saulsburv
of Delaware, here stated that he was not
familiar with tho precedents, and inquired
if tho order submitt; d was in accordance ti,al JJtecher aud his Irienda will let this

Washington, March 5, 1876.
The Sub-Judiciary Committee of the
House were in session all of yesterday v
preparing the articles of impeachment. ami
will have them ready to submit to the fuh
committee to morrow for presentation and
adoption by the House. These articles, a
they oow stand, contain some thirty count
coyering every conceivable phase of crime
developed by the evidence. The adoption
of the articles will be Mowed by their sub
mission to the Senate aud by the election
of managers of the impeachment. Tin
trial by the Senate is not expected to taki

POSITION OK TUB PRESIDENT.
The committee is determined to probe
the subject to the bottom, and i Iready has
assurance that the half of Belknap's inf;t
mies have not yet been disclosed. A lead
ing Democratic member of Congress who-e
word is unimeachable, and who is ex
ceedingly conservative by nature, declared
last night that he had almost positive
knowledge that Grant knew two years an
that Belknap was bartering post trader
ships. It is also asserted in Democratic
circulars that the President passionately
declared on Friday, with an oath, that
Marsh ought to be hanged. The action of
the President and Attorney-Generney-Gen-eral.
in relation to the witnesses in this
case, gives color to the assertion, which, it
is said, will be proved in due time, that
the Babcock prosecution was broken down
by precisely the same means, the charge
being that the clause in the Attorney-General
letter to the effect that the district
attorney was to prosecute alike all who
should be found guilty, whether they gave
testimony or not, was shown and explain
ed in such a way to certain witnesses
whose evidence would have convicted Bab
cock that their mouths were sealed. The
1 the preparation of the articles of impeach
ment against Gen. Belknap, late Secretary
of War, have substantially agreed to the
report. The details were submitted to a
sub committee to be put in form. The
genera! charge is bribery, or counivau.ee at
bribery, and the articles of impeachment
will contain thirty counts, showing thirty
different ollenses, so that it would appear
that the commitee has not confined itself
to the charge of Mr. Marsh, but has gone
J into other matters which they believe- evi
j dence or the late Secretary's guilt. The
report ot tne committee wni be unani
mous. BEXJXAP'3 AKKEsT.
Ex-Secretary Belknap was quietly arrest
ed at his residence oa G street, Sunday
night about 8 o'clock, on an information
sworn outagainst him by District Attorney
Weils, and on a warrant issu.sd by the
judge of the police court. The arrest was
made by Major Richards, superintendent
of the police, armed with the warreul and
fifteen police officers. He entered the pre
mises aud was met by a servant. lie
stated whom he wished to see. and present
ly Mr. Belknap came into the hail. The
major read him the warrcnl and told him
he would not disturb him for the night,
but that he would call for him early in the
moruing. I In told Mr. Belknap that it
would be necessary to place police guards
both in und ouiside of the house. The es
se ere tary replied : ''lo what you see til,
but 1 am not going to run away.,' Au
officer was then stationed in the house, one
in the yard and two iu front or the bouse,
with instructions to see that he d:d not
escape. Soon after Major Richarda left
the ex-secretary sent a box of cigars nd a
bottle of whisky, with his compliments, to
the officers. About nine o'clock Mr. Bel
knap sent for his attorneys. The iM'st to
arrrive was Judge Johusou, then came
Montgomery Blair, and at twelve o'clock
Matt Car)tnter came. It is understood
that the motive which prompted the arrest
was that it was conveyed to District At
torney Wells that Mr. Belknap contemplat
ed leaving the city on a sin ill steam yacht
owned by his late private secretary, which
was lying below the Long bride.
On Saturday the scrgeant-at-aruis- of the
house served the order of arrest of the house
of representatives, notifyng Mr. Belknap t
hold himself in readiness to uusvrer the
articles of impeachment which will be
brought agaiuat him.

THE BELKNAP DlSliKACE.
The Belknap scaudal created a profound
sensation, for the prosecuting witness 19 a
prominent man here, aim Mrs. Belknap is
5 as well known in society her as she is iu
Washington. This' is a clear ease of tcm-
?. ine ,;virilvagauce. The present Mrs.
Belknap was tho sister of the secretary's

to New York, and make the most extrava
gant purchases, for her principal ambition
was to outshine every woman iu Wash
ington, whether native or foreign. And
she did it. Her dresses were the most
gorgeous, her equipages were the most
costly, and she was surrounded with ser
vants of the most expeusive nature. It
v-ns given out in Washington that she did
not depend on the secreiary'B salary he
had no means beyond thai but that she
had inherited wealth, the income of which
was sufficient to justify ail this extrava
gance. At her home the story was that
the secretary had m.nln some luckv specu
lations before he went into the cabinet,
which accounted for it all wh.-rf iheinheri
lance story would go down. All this time
i hey were selling traderships, and spending
the proceeds in this foolish way. There
ran lie no doubt that the woman had tlu
oan coinpletelv under her thumb that so
infatuated was he with her that he would
have stolen ten limes thu am-iunt, had she
desired it. The man wa3 doubtless honest
originally, but oh. how weak ! The mer
chants of Xew York sullered severely by
this exposure. It is rumored that Mrs.
Belknap owes vast sums of money to
the fashionable dry goods men and jew
elers here, which, as the Belknaus have
spent all their stealings, they will lose.
THE EPIDEMIC OK THE SEASON.
Malaria and ignorance of veutilation will
soon make New York uo fit place for while
people to live in. If fever and ague, diph
Iberia, scarlet fever and small pox h"ld
their own a very few years longer as they
are doing now, the city will amm as un
tenable as Staten Island, where rich people
are deserting their yillas. because the place
is so deadly with agues. This month Ih
fashionable epidemic is a malignant in
fluenza, which visits humankiud as il did
horses two years ago. The doctors call it
by no fancy name, only "plain cold,' aod
the Madison Avenue prescription for its
treatment is neither belladonua. nor in
ternal exhibition of" aconite, or any other
high sounding drug, but equally plain cL
nip tea, made doubly strong, which is ad
ministered not more for the sake of break
ing up the cold, by a good sweat, as for its
valuable and recently discovered proper
ties in quieting the uerve3. Fancy a bowle
of Lady Washington china breathing the
soothing incense of balm tea, administered
to an interesting invalid wrapped in an
j azure blanket, soft as velvet, and you have
I the elegante of influenza. But for real vir
tues. I prefer tho old slyle, a cracked blue

quart or deep brown liquid smoking not.

stoutest told tied affrighted at the thought
of a second dose. But talk of plain colds
the new variety successfully combines
the horrors of neuralgia, rheumatism, lum
bago, catarrh, fever and ague, and getting;
drunk and oue crawls out of an attack feel
ing like a cabinet officer just investigated.
POLITICAL.
The local politicians if New York arc
making a slir for Cotikling's nomination
i for the presidency, hut it does not make
much headway. 1 here are many excellent
men in the city who would bo glad to see
Conkling in the Presidential chiir. and
there a great many who would not. But
there are a thousand or more political bum
mers, who would support anybody whose
friends will "put up.' and this class aro
unfortunately all for Conkling. he bring
Ihe first New Yorker mentioned for the
place. They are organizing -Conkling
clubs." all over the city, and are making a
great deal of noise, but I am happy to say
that thev all have a hungry look. They
are not getting the rati ns they expected.
: nor will they. Senator Conkling is a gen-
tie, and a pure man. He would of course
j like to be President I wouldn't mind it
myself but he never did a dirty thing,
and he never will. He will never pay
bummers, he will never support a tatdy
of mercenaries, nor will he use undue
influence. The bummers who are shoui ing
Conkling at this time are doing it at their
own expense, and they are getting sick,
the supplies don't come, and these fellows
never do anything at their own charges
that is for any length of time. Consequent
ly their zeal will very s-on abate. The
fact is New York isn't very anxious to
have n candidate. There are two or three
different factions in the city, and they are
mortally afraid of each other. They would
all rather have a new man rather than
have one who has ever been mixed in city
or state no htics. I lie Democracy are
hardly any better ofT. Tilden cannot

but there are so few of them that no one
cousidera them worth a bid.
THE BUSINESS OK THE WEEK.
The list of failures this week, foot up
nearly one hundred, and they embrace al
most all varieties of business. The smash
ed parties generally "Her cents on the
i dollar, that being the regular figure. So
commou have failures become, that they
excite no more surprise. The oldest,
strongest houses in the city are going, and
no one knows to-day who is going to mor
row. Rents are still sinking, and the near
er the first of Mav approaches, the more
the landlords tremble. Their expensive
stores on Broadway are being vacated, and
applications for them are as rare as hen's
teeth. I know of oue store that four years
ago was in demand at 1S.IH)0 per year,
that is now being occupied at jfti.OUO. and
the tenants are giving il up for they can get
a better oue at il.OUO. The truth is busi
ness men can hardly afford to pay any
rent, for their is no profit whatever in
business. The shrinkage in value is going
on steadily, and no one can see the end.
Relief must come from some source, or
bankruptcy will be the rule, and solveucv
the excepli hi. New Yrk is very sick.
THE HIPPODKOME MEETINOS.
Ar still woudcrfully tilled, and it is as
unfashionable uot to go and hear Mr.
Sankev sing as not to hear Tiliens or Von

packed at mid-day and evening, and the re
ligious movement is treated wiUi the great
est respect by the papers. But a visit lo
the meetings convinces a candid jierson,
that the reason of the great audiences
drawn together is not Mr. Mo dy's earn
estness, or Mr. Sankey's singing, of which
he has grown as thaiy of late as a pet
teur iu opera, but the number who take a
serious interest, in religion. There aie
thousands of genuinely good jieople in the
city, who believe that religion out weigh
nll'other interests, and are drawn lo these
meetings, hoping for good. The popular"!
ty of Moody and Sankey iu Great Britain
is easily understood ; it was their Ameii
caniHiii attracted the crowd. Just as any
thing distinctively American attracts Eng
lish attention, like the jubilee singers, Ar
tenias WhtiI and Mark Twain, ami Biele
ILute's stories, whose popularity abroad
out runs that they have at home. One can
imagine what a contrast Mr. M ly's curl
utterly unconventionally manner, his home
Iv illustrations, must have been to the
f .ruial English way ot doing things, and it
is no wouder he took the rather heavy
Biitons by storm. Ilre. he can never
make th same impression on cultivated
people that he did abroad. The big clergy
of New York sit up in the preacher's pen at
the meetings, and laugh over Mr. Moody"
apt hits, in the way of illustration, as they
would at excellent jokes, and the evangel
ists runs on about salvation, very much in
the wav a Chicago business man talks in
surance, or railroads, with the same earn
estuess, but not a whit more feeling, or
reverence. His whole manner, is that of a
finished auctioneer, who is ready to knock
down salvation to the highest bidder with
out reserve.
THE LltOR MARKET.
Carefully compiled tables show that al
most one half of the skilled labor of the city
i- idle, aud that wages for those in employ
ment have been cut down nearly one half.
The bricklayers, who two years ago were
getting 54.50 a day, are glad to work now
for Sfl.50. while laborers who were firm iu
their demand for $3.00 are glad to get work
at any price. There is but very little
building going on, and but very little re
pairing, aud in regular manufacturing there
is absolute stagnation. It iB a cuiious
thing that piano making is the only trade
which keeps its hands all employed, ami at
old wages. Pianos are luxuries, and it
would seem that this trade would be the
first to fall off. but it is not so. That trade
is just as brisk as ever. The charities are
of course crowded with the hungry and
naked, and Ihe societies for supplying fir
ing are taxed away beyond their capacity.
If ever there was a time when spring was
anxiously looked for, it is now. It is a bless
ing that the winter has been so mild. But
the look-out for the summer is dreary
enough. A visit to the principle architects
showed that scarcely any building was
contemplated for the ensuing season, and
what the laborers arc to do during the sum
mer is a query. They can live on leas than
. . .. . . I
in uiu winter, nut mey must nave some
thing, and tint something is very remote.
HOW THE ItlCII AMCSE THEMSELVES
While tfw poor are starving the rich are
amusiog themselves, as they always will.
The last form ot fashionable amusement is
horseback parties. Companies assemble
al comfortable riding-schools), ladies and
gentlemen, aud train their h'r.es to go
llirouih the figure of dances, precisely as
though they were in a ball-room. Think
of lhc Viiginia reel on horsebtck ! Yet
they do it. ami they "lag," just as they
used to wheu they were children, aud there
lathers wcie butcher and bakers. This
latter game they play with their horses at
full gallop, and so expert have riders become
that very f".w accidents are reported. It
beats skating.
LENT
is upon us. and the fashionable Christians
have to change their base. They cannot
show their riue feathers at ihe theatres, op
eras or parties, but they make it up at the
churches. How devoutly they crowd the
) churches every morniug. when they have
new clothes, and how sweetly pious they
lo.k, wheu they glance around aud see
that they out dress all their neighbors, and
then the meetings for charily, which are
iiuinenily proper. How they complacent
ly go in a sweet, simple costume that cost
iltHjOin Pais. and give SIO to relieve the
suffering poor at their doors I If there is
anything uUerly absurd. t is the obser
vance of Lent by a fashionable New York
Christian lady. They make the season of
morliticat ion the time for the wildest pos
sible extravagance. They exchange the
paid singers of the opera for the paid sing
ers of the fashionable churches, and lake
revenge for the interim ity by piling more
agony on their dress Curious world this.
And yet these people all expect to get to
heaven by-and-by. PiETRO.
