Hayes for president.
There is no prospect for a reduction of
the tax on whisky.
The President has been sick for two
days, and received no visitors yester
day. So says a despatch from Washing
ton. Wo suppose the president would
not refuse to receive presents though.
The list of judges of the Centennial
Exhibition will not be ready for publica
tion before the opening of the Exhibit
tion. It will number 100, and will em
brace gentlemen of the highest authori
ty in all brauches.
Thomas Jetftrson rode on horseback
to Washington, hitched his horse to a
rail fence and walked over and was in
augurated ; but it wouldn't be safe to try
that now. as while he was being sworn
in one of his Cabinet officials might
steal the horse.
Marsh has returned from Canada, and
several gaugers, store-keepers, and oth
er whisky refugees have followed him.
It looked for a while as if it would lie
neeeessary for us to annex Canada ; but
if all the refugees are returning it w ,n't
be essential this time.
Gen. Kilpatriek aajw he wilt swear
that Gen. Butterfield offered him f-V,-
tXV to assist in securing the New York
colleotorwhip. Is there an honest man 1
under Grant ?
In repairing an ice box in Newark, a
rats nest was discovered made wholly of
fractional currency, amouultng to over
SIOO. They are just now discovering
many rad's nest about Washington and at
other places that have been feathered
with greenbacks stolen from the public
treasury, amounting to millions. Kate
like Belknap, Babcock, Robieon, the
Grants, have all feathered their neets
with greenbacks like the four-legged lit
tle vermin mentioned above.
From Marsh's testimony before the
impeachment committee the other day.
it appears that Clyster labored to quiet
the fears of Marsh about a criminal pros
ecution, instead of exciting them ; that
Marsh returned to New York satisfied
that he could not be proceeded against
ou account of his testimony before the
committee : and that be only resolved
upon flight to Canada, on reading in the
papers abont Grant's determination to
have him prosecuted. That seems to
dispose of the story raised by the med
dlesome scandalmonger, Kiddoo, and
flourished around the house so noisily
by Blkine, and others, that Clymer de
sired to frighten Marsh out of the conn
try in Pendleton's interest.
The two articles of impeachment on
which the Senate will be asked to try
ex-Secretary Belknap were reported to
the House on Thursday 30. The counts
have been reduced to five from twsnty
five, as follows : The first charges Bet
knap with receiving money corruptly
while in office ; the secoud charges bri
bery, as defined by the statute ; the
third charges the payment of money to
Belknap for continuing corrupt persons
in office ; the fourth charges him with
receiving gifts while in office to influ
ence him corruptly ; the fifth charges
Belknsp with taking money corruptly
for the use of himself and others.
Senator Wallace, a few days ago, made
a forcible speech in faTor of retrench
ment. The republicans in the senate
do not favor the cutting down of expen
ditures as proposed by the democratic
house, especially on the consular and
diplomatic list. The senate by a party
vote, clings to the steep figures set by
the administration, and the matter will
have to go to a conference committee.
Mr. Wallace's remarks opon "this ques
tion commanded ths attention of the
republican senators, and they feel that
the new democratic senator from this
state will rank with ths ablaet on the
floor of the senate. The people would
prefer seeing the republicans of ths sen
ate join hands with the democrat# of the
house in the system of economy they
are endeavoring to inaugurate. Salaries
have been too high, and since wages
and prices in every thing else are down,
salaries should be cut down too.
Schenck's statement before the foreign
relations committee yerterday, says the
Times of 29, does not, as reported, con
stitute even a plausible defense. He
promises to prove that the evidencegiv
en against him is folse, and that the
witnesses who gave it are of infamous
character. Ifheshonld accomplish ail
that, his defense would still be unsatis
factory .since his own verson of his con
nection with the Emma Mine Company
is difficult to reconclls with old-fashion
ed ideas of probity and honor. The
onus of the charges against him is that
while Minister to England he consented
to let bis name be nsed as a director in
order to bolster up a shaky company,
and that, in payment of this service, he
was permitted to carry a large amount
of stock, upon which a high rate of div
idends was guaranteed to him. Mr.
Schenck yesterday admitted that for
thirteen months he carried five hundred
shares, for which he had not actually
paid a cent, and that he received two
per cent, a month on this for several
months, until he agreed to accept one
and a half percent, a month, which tie
received regularly thereafter. The orig
inal bargain, he testified, was that he
should get two percent, a month on the
shares while they should be held by
him, and that Park was to take them
back at par. That bargain was fraudu
Jent on the face of it. The transactior
amounted simply to the payment o
twenty-four per cent, per annum or
$50,000, or of $12,000 (afterward reduce*
to $9,000) annually without any proper
ty equivalent. To be sure, Scbenck sayt
he gave his note, but the owners of good
mining stock are not in the habit ol
selling it for unsecured notes and then
guaranteeing twenty-four per cent, divi
dends upon it. When Schenck owned
up to this corrupt bargain he virtually
confessed everything, and might as well
have entered a formal plea of guilty. 11
he cannot do better than that he would
better, in the language of Judge Slote,
T. U. P.—throw up the sponge.

Now let it be borne in inind that the
blanks and advertising t. r l>> will It
about the same as last year, ami the let*
ting of that work ami the bids lor lsTt
are the matters in question by the aboV*
parties.
In January we were iu the Commis
sioners' office and informed by theui
tiiat a letting would l>e had tor tin
blanks, and they at our request showed
us copies of Hie blauks that would be 1 < -
qiiiretl. For these blanks Mr. Meek i. r
yean has boon drawing ft'**' p, r y >.. r,
ami we conaidered the work piotitahh
at fSoO, our regular charge* lor su h
work—ami which any practical pt inter,
if he i* put on oath, will aw ear it can In
done for. We wilt in our bid for $330.
Mr. Meek put in a bid for #1.030, to
print the blank* and do the advertisii g,
which the Commissioners intended and
understood, to mean that all the adver
tising ahonld be done in two pajwra.
But Mr. Meek's bid had this trap iu for
the Oommiiaionens, <y" ukuh all ad
irrfutny tear to h< paid for that ly lot t .at
required to I* Jj'u in tiro pap<r." The
Coaimiionera knew tliut the custom
and usage in this county and in all
counties was to have tire advertising in
<il leatt two papers, while the wording of
the law is "one or more," and soon us
Mr. Meek had the work awarded him,
he went back on them, and claimed that
the $1,050 felt to his paper alone- -thu
appropriating to himself s< for blanks
and pay for cost of advertising in two
papers—and the rest of the ]taper* to
have nothing, and as we were informed
by the Commissioners, with the inten
tion of preventing the Reporter from
getting any of the couuty printing, and
iu order to draw the 11,000 for the same
work which in 1875 he received SM7
for —or a boot S2OO above what he re
ceived in 1875, for doing the same work.
The figures below and above will prove
this to any unprejudiced tax-paver. The
intentions of the Commissioners were
all right, but they were unsuspectingly
deceived by Meek into an unfair con
tract —no contract ever having been
made that way in any county anywhere.
We will now refer to several errors
made by "Caasar" in his article. We
give "Geaar" credit for endeavoring to
be impartial and fair, but he incauti ;is
ly failed to give the data due considera
tion and has thus got wrong iu his fig
uring. We will come to his assistance
and analyze the matter fully and so
plainly that any tax-payer can under
stand it. "Ca-sar" says;
Mr. P. Gray Meek bid ten hundred a: <1
fifty dollar*. which bid included the print
ing of all blanks pertaining to the office
and all the advertising and where pub u a
tion in more than cne newspaper e t \
law required, to pay for the saina. vt the
publisher's price* the amount to be de
ducted fri m the above compeis-at >n the
Commissioners reserving the right to des
ignate in what newspaper the same should
be published.
We ask "Ca-sar" w hether Mr. Meek
has not become stubborn on the Com
missioners' hands about it and inter
prets his contract differently from what
the Commissioner* honestly intended it
should be? If not, then the Commis
sioners have made him "come down"
just as they should, or annul the con
tract. The Commissioners are satisfied
that he tried the gouge game upon theui
and the tax-payer*. "Ca-sar" again
says:
Mr. Fred Kurt* bid three hundred and
fifty dollars for the job work, without the
advertising, and proposed to allow the
price of vbito paper only to the Comm.--
sionen lor the blanks in the i-fIW amount
ing to about three hundred and fifty dol
lars.
Wo saw the blanks on hand, and our
! impression is that SIOO would have paid
well for the lot. If there were $350
worth on hand it must have b?en a six
months supply for 1876, yet his contract
ended with 1875. Why then did Mr.
Meek fornish a supply six months
ahead ? Was it because he saw a chance
thas to force them on the Commission
ers at the high rate of SOOO per year?
We inquired of some of the old Commis
sioners and they knew nothing of a
supply ordersd ahead for six months,
and if they did, why ? We do not think
that the Commissioners were guilty of
that, it was a game of some one else in
order to draw the pay, and a game that
was played in like manner the year be
fore.
Can the reader see into this "surplus
blanks ' game? Where isthe law and
where the justice that would allow Mr.
Meek such high figures for work for six
months when our bid proves—and as
any printer will testify—that a whole
year's supply can lie had for $350?
When a contract is for a year's blanks,
where does an 18 months supply come
in under it ?
Again "Csar" says:
To have accepted the offerot Mr. Kurtz
would have tx-n equivalent to fixing the
county printing at *even hundred dollar-,
independent of the extra advertising.
Yes, that valuation of the blanks on
hand will serve to smoothe over Mr.
Meek's bid, and we are willing that it
shall be used to cover it up, but it al
ways throws us hack to the question,
why does Mr. Meek draw SOO0 —or by
hi* interpretation of the contract SSOO -
for work that he knows can be profita
bly done for $350? That is the question
to be answered to the tax-payer,
loudly, "Caesar" says:
Now, if wc add to thin amount the um
cf expenditure* paid to the newspaper* for
extra county printing and advcriiung for
the year 1*75, to wit, sl3-0.70, which sum
It would be reatonshle to anticipate, the
cost to the county, if the proposal <>f Mr.
Kurtz had been accepted, would he tlflcei.
hundred arid twcrity-*ix dollars and *
enly cents—oyer lour hundred and seven
ty-six dollar* more than the present con
tract
Here is where "Ctesar" gets confused
in his calculations. He says our hid
would make the printing amount to
$1520.70, but he reaches that hv count
ing the blank* on hand $350, and then
unjustly adds the adtertieiug of four papers
($820.70) to our bid, whereas Meek'scon
tract is only intended to count in two
papers! Did "Ctesar" make this miu
represeutation willfully?. "Ctesui" will
at once see hi* mistake here, and that
he must deduct two pupers from his fig- |
uring on our bid he adds about f H)oi

Probably the President meant well
wht-n be inspired the statement a couple

himself ami Secretary Pierrepont were

mind will fail to umleretami how this
can be so when a direct iastie of veracity
has been raised between them. Mr.

we recall the circumstances of M r Grant's
conflict of veracity with President John

Pierrepont'a version comes nearest to
the truth. The situation, then, may be
broadly stated to be this : Mr. (irant

BEI.KXM'S FATE.
Washington. March 27. —It is pretty
accurately understood that the sub com
mittee on impeachment, composed of
Knott, Hoar, Hnnton and another 1 ; are
all ready to report the perfected articles
of impeachment to-morrow, w hen the
whole committee meets. Then on Wed
nesday the House will be informed of
the readiness of the committee to pro
ceed, and, doubtless, the Senate will re
solve itself, on Thursday, into a High
Court uf Impeachment. There may be
a long argument over the constitutional
right of the House to impeach and the
Senate to sit in judgment upon a private
citizen, but lately Sec relary of War. The
Democratic judiciary committee hold
that if a civil officer of the government
can rid himself of the political penalty
which follows a conviction bv itn]>cach
inent, viz., a life disqualification to hold
office, by a simple resignation, the con
stitutional clause on that subject is prac
tically nugatory. The case has never
arisen in this country, but that of Judge
Barnard, in New York, it is claimed,
rules Belknap's case, though not identi
cal with it. Judge Barnard was im
peached during hi* second term for acts
done in hi* first term, ami it i* argued
that his second term did not operate as
a continuance of hi* office, but was in
the position of a separate ami distinct
Office, utid, therefore, he should he re
garded hi* first term in the light
of a private citizen out of office.

This extraordinary correspondence
show* prrtty conclusively that Itubnun
and Grant tried to bolder up a breaking
bank by giving it $1,600,UU0 of govern*
meut money. The bank, after struggling
on a month or two more, did suspend, with
$1,799,506,41 due the government. Some
ofthia hat since been obtained, and Mr.
Robeson claim* to hold securities o( the
firm sufficient to cover the ramaiudar, but
whether there securities will pan out suffi

Mr Robeson now denies thsl he transmil

THE PRESIDENT'S UNBOUNDED
FAITII IN THE SECRETARY.
Gen. Hazcti's Charge* Proven After
Four Year*.
Washington, Mnrcb 2#— The (Jlymcr
committee have received conclusive doe
umentary evidenco to .how that tho Pres
ident and Secretary of War were officially
informed in 1872 that the latter had been
charged with receiving a portion of the
profits of pwst-traderships, and that neith
er paid the slightest attention to Ihe seri
ous charge, though they discussed it in a
private conference. The following impor
tant letter bearing directly on this point
was receivedlo day from Gen. linr.cn. now
Colonel ol the Sixth Infantry regimentand
brevet major-general :
City of M xxioo. March 15, IHTfi
To Hon. Hietter Ctymrr :
Dear Sir.- The p*pAr of the 4th in*l,
brought me the rwuit of the itelknnp in
vcligwtion. By referring t" the proceed
ing* of the Hou* Military Committee of
March, 1872, you will find precisely the
-m information iriven by me then h>
ttiat ii|>on which your investigation ww
founded Mr. Hmallev, the then clerk ol
that committee, published in the New
York Tribune the purport of my evidence,
which only referied to tho block mailing
of the pot-trader* mid not to thefiiiHl di
petition of the money , but he added to it
the presumptive disposition, which is now
proven to riavo been true. The Secretary
ot Wer took the newspaper paragraph to
the President ia he ha* since laid), re
marking : "Mr. President. have you seen
the article in the New York Ti'ibune ol
thi* morning referring l > ine?" To whicli
the President replied, "I have, and do not
believe one word of it " The Secretary
then said, "If you do believe it 1 am no
longer lit to hold a place in your Cabinet."
This ww the end of the matter, both with
thfl President and Congress, leaving it
question ol veracity between the Secretary
and myself. 1 have wailed patiently four
year*, never doubting but I should he fi
nally vindicated, although at times feel
ing very heavily the weight ot the dis
pleasure of those high in power for daring
to tell tjio truth respecting the great out
rage upon the army My object from the
first was not only to relieve the army from
this outrage, but to obtain the execution
ot a mo*t excellent law passed in Mifitl re
quiring the Commissary Department to fur
nish to enlisted men at cost the articles us
ualjy furnished them by sutlers. Thia ino-t
admirable arrangement i virtually carried
out in all oilier armies, and would bo

pate a man should go to the house of his

and he says to himself, "Why I never
thought so much about my soul at I han i
j to-day " Hut before the man get* to bed i
f at night the fourth man has e'Uir. and I
will guarantee that he won't sieep much;
| that night —four men try log to bring Lite f

U> Christ, let us get wlherw to h-Ip Us. If;
four men won t do <l lei u* add the fifth. I
j slid the Lord will See our faith, and the'
Lord w ill li ner our faith, and we will see,
them brought to the Son of God. When.
1 wa* at Nashville during our late war. I
was closing the noon prayer-meeting onej
day and a great strong man came us me.
tremblir g Ironi bead to fool. He took a
' letter out of his pocket and wanted to have
me read it It was a letter fruni histitler.j
The sister staled in that letter lhat every;
j night as th sun went down she went down
'on lier knees to pray for him The sister
*] was 600 tulle* away, and said the soldier.
, "1 never thought of my soul until last!
night I have stood before the canaoa'sl
m<mth and it never made me tremble, but.!
8 r. I havenl slept a wink since I got that j
, letter." I think there is manv a Chris
! li*n here who understands what that letter
.- meant. The Lord had seen her faith. It
was G-'d honoring faith , and it was God;
, answering prayer. And >o. my friends, if J
God sees our faith, these friends that wet
are anxious for will be brought to Christ. J
"Let us go oul and bring ail uur friends
U hafgL and if there it poor preai hing. wej
can bringdown frem heaven the necctsa
rv blessings without good preaching. In I
' Philadelphia a skeptic came in, just out]
|of curiosity He wanted to see the crow d, j
and he hadn't more than crossed the
i threshold of the door before the (spirit of
,'God rael him, anil 1 asked bim if tbore
wa anything in the sermon that influenc
ed him, in hopes (hat 1 wa* going to get
something to encourage me - but he could
not tell what the text was. ] anked him if
it was the singing, but he didn t know]
what Mr Sankey had sung. It was the
power of God alone lhat converted him. |
and that is what we want in these meet
ing*. If we have this power, when we in-!
vile our friend* here the Lord will meet
,lhetn and will answer prayer and **#
them. Let u* go and biing our uncon
vcrtid friends here All through the ser
