Republican State Convention
HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN STATE
COMMITTEE,
HARRISBURG, February 1,1876.
n pursuance of a resolntion of the Repub •
lican State Committee, adopted at a meeting
held in Harrisburg this day, a Republican
State Convention, to be composed of delegates
from each Senatorial and Representative dis
trict, to the number to whick such district is
entitled in the Legislature, is hereby called
to meet in the city of Harrisburg, at twelve
o'clock, noon, on Wednesday, March 29, 1876,
for the purpose of nominating au Electoral
ticket and of electing Senatorial and Repre
sentative delegates to represent the State in
the Republican National Convention, to be
held at Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 14th day of
June, 1876. By Order of the Committe,
HENRY M. HOYT, Chairman.
A. WILSON NORRIS, Secretary.
THE President has appointed Hon. Rich
and Henry Dana, jr., Minister to England
in place of Gen. Schenck.
THE wife of Caleb P. Marsh bas joined
her husband in Montreal. It is said that
Marsh is preparing for the press a full
statement of the Belknap affair.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY DYER has tele
graphed to Attorney General Pierreponi
that neither himself or General 'lender
son is in any way responsible for the pub
lications relative to the Babcock trial.
'Dual reprt of the Penns;
Railroad Companikr 1-875 showing that
the gross earnings of the company, all
lines, were $58,096,865; gross expenses,
excluding rentals, interest, dividends, etc.,
$35,574,140 ; net earning, $21,522,724,
is just published. The report states that
the company is new for the first time in its
history of twenty-nine years, without any
floating debt, andhad on deposit to its credit
on January, 1876, a total of $4,924,948.
A new passenger station is to be erected at
West Philahelphia.
HON. AtoNzo TAFT the new Secre
tary of War, was born in Vermont in
1810. He is a graduate of Yale college
and has been a practicing lawyer in
Ohio since 1839. In 1858 be was de
feated by Hon. George H. Pendleton for
congress in the Cincinnati district. In
1865 he was appointed judge of the su
perior court, and twice re-elected to the
same once by the popular vote. He re
signed his judgeship in 1872. Last year
he was strongly supported for the repnbli
can nomination for governor of Ohio
against Gov. Hayes. He is a man of un
doubted good character and more than or
dinary capacity of affairs. His confirma
tion by the senate is certaiu.
THE Local News is remarkable for dis
cussing some things blindly. It evidently
does not comprehend tha printing bill now
before the Legislature. Its zeal would in
dicate that it is deeply interested in this
matter, but just how it has not conde
scended to tell us. It certainly does not
want any of the county printing at half its
usual rates.(?) But, then, it boldly asserts
that political papers have no spetial claim
upon this kind ofpatrosage, in the face of
the fact, that there are not a score of men
in Huntingdon county who are not either
Republicans or Democrats. Pray, then,
what papers are entitled ? It may be pos
sible that the boys and girls who dish up
its matter may not feel much interested,
politically, but then they do not pay the
taxes. Again" it appears to be almost as
much at sea in regard to the special act
for this county. It was passed in the win
ter of 1870 aid not in 1871, but became a
law in that year, before the editor of this
paper knew there was such a law in con
templation. Ii fact he was opposed to the
provisions of the bill after he learned of
its existence, and has been in favor of its
repeal from that time to the present, as
the late clerk to the Commissioners can
fully attest. But with all the ado about
the matter Huntingdon county has not paid
more, in proportion, for printing than her
neighbors, if , as much. If Mr. Lindsey
desires to inform the public in regard to
the bill now before the Legislature we
hope lie will publish it just as reported by
the Committee.
THE FALL OF BELKNAP.
Since the assassination of Abraham Lin
coln we doubt whether the country has,
at any time, been so severely shocked, as it
was on Friday morning last, at the an
nouncement that the House Of Represen
tatives, at Washington, had ordered arti
cles of impeachment against William W.
Belknap, Secretary of War, for high crimes
and misdemeanors in office. The informa
tion was received with shame and mortifi
cation by all intelligent men, thereby tell
ing us that while corruption, bribery and
fraud have been rampant, that there is a
feeling in the breast of the intelligent Amer
ican. that deplores and condemns this kind
of infamy. We are rejoiced, from the
very bottom of our heart, that from the
President down, through every grade of
society, there is a disposition to bring this
kind of crime to immediate and condign
punishment. We are proud that the Re
publican pa: ty, as a party, finds no pallia
tion for this sort of thing, and that from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the
Lakes on the extreme North to the Gulf
of Mexico, they express but one set of
views. Let the blow fall where it will
this crime must be punished and examples
promptly made ! No Republican Govern
ment eau tolerate, for a single day, so near
its head, crimes of this character. And it
owes it to itself, to the loyal masses, to the
world at large, that such offenses be im•
mediately and severely punished.
TM fact:, in brief, are as follows A
Mr. Marsh was accredited a trader. at Fort
Bill, is consideration of the payment of a
large sum of money to the Secretary. The
matter was brouglat to the attention of the
Military Committee and Marsh was called
before it and his statetnest fully corrobo
rated the facts previously gleaned. The
Committee acted upon the testimony and
the House oxilered articles of impeach.
went. Marsh has since escaped to Canada.
Other revelations arc expreted.
CRUSHING THE WORKING MEN.
The fill.,wing article from the Cutnber.
EDITOR
land Civilian, an excellent Republican
paper, Fu fully aceordi wilh.our own sen
inents that we adopt it as uur own :
Vor several years past the whole country
has been struggling under the adversities
of a panic which has brought to bank
ruptey and ruin many of, the proudest
commercial in the nation, and has
reduced to poverty and want thousands
amongst the laboring and mechanical
classes. In all this time we have heard
the Democratic press of all sections com
menting upon these unfortunate facts as
the legitimate results of Republican rule,
and they have made promises that they
would give relief to the people as soon as
they could get into power.
For three months the Democratic party
has had in its hands a great power ; for
three months Congress has been in session,
and as the House must originate all bills
for revenue, that body holds the purse
strings of the nation. No more money
can be expended than that body chooses
to allow; and that body is Democratic.—
Now, how has the Democratic party un
dertaken to redeem its pledge to relieve
the wants and necessities of the people, or
has it undertaken to do so at all ? We
find that it has pursued a course wholly at
varience with the interests of the people ,
and one which is bringing penury, want
and starvation to thousands of homes. The
Hom-e of Representatives has prepared
bills to reduce the army; to reduce the
navy ; to reduce the forces employed in the
ship yard ; to reduce the force of the De
partments; to cut down the number of
clerks and employees ; to ranee salaries,
and to prevent the expenditure of money,
and it has refused to make an appropria
tion to carry on the bank note printing of
the Treasury Department. The result of
this is to bring more distress upon the
country. Already there were hungry
thousands seeking in vain for employment,
and from every city and town came stories
of want and despair. In the face of this,
the wonderful assemblage in Washington
known as the House of * Representatives,
issues its edict that other thousands of
hungry men, women and children shall be
added to the suffering multitude. Men
must be turned adrift from the army, the
navy, the ship yards, the work shops, and
the public worksbecause the Democratic
party must make capital for the next elec
tion. A thousand men and women must
be deprived of their only hope of suste
nance and be turned from the Treasury
and other Departments—because the Dem
ocratic members want to cheat the popular
ear with its songs of "economy," and make
votes in the fall campaign.
Is this the way to bring relief to the
country ? When trade is prostrated, fac
tories closed, merchants on the verge of
bankruptcy, mechanics idle, laboring men
suffering; is it right for the government
to make things worse by stopping its works;
by reducing the army and navy; by dis
charging its clerks ? Is it right for the
government to add thousands to the al
ready struggling masses, and to make the
poor still poorer ? No, the principal is all
wrong, and the policy is a cheat, a snare,
and a shame. Instead of this the govern.
ment should pursue a liberal course to
ward the people ; it should give employ
ment to all that can reasonably be put to
work; it should have a clerk wherever one
is 'needed ; it should encourage our home
manufactures, and enable the owners by
wise laws, to put to . work every forge, and
set to whirling every spindle in the land.
Instead of spending three months in de
vising ways to impoverish and rob of their
means of subsistence thousands of poor
persons it should have taken a different
course, and endeavored to find employment
not only for those already engaged, but for
thousands of others
lvani
The Democrats in the House have gone
a long distance on the wrong road. They
should stop and retrace their steps at once.
They have made a. mistake. The working
people are a power in the land, and they
will make their power felt when they come
to make up the next Congress. They will
bury the men who have wronged them,
and put in their places men of wisdom and
liberality.
The Republicans have endeavored to
aid the people through the bitterness of
this panic ; but as soon as the Democrats
obtained control of the House they com
menced to make the poor poorer, and they
turned into the streets half a thousand
women, who having lost their only means
of honest support will be driven to want,
and many will doubtless maintain life at
at the loss of their good name.
AT about, two o'clock on Saturday morn
ing lasta fire was discovered in the exten
sive wholesale dry goods house of Wood,
Marsh & Co., Nos. 309 and 311 Market
street, Philadelphia. The flames had gained
such headway that the building could not
be saved, and was destroyed, with the most
of its contents. Wood, Marsh & Co.'s loss
on stock is $2b0,000. It is insured for
$195,000. The buildings were owned by
Richard Wood, of the firm of Wood, Marsh
& Co., and by Mr. Martin. The aggregate
losses will reach about 000,000. Two
firemen were injured.
SECRETARY CHANDLER says the story
of an interview between him and General
Belknap and wife, Thursday morning, and
the purported full confessiGn, is all made
up.
Our Harrisburg Letter.
HARRISBURG, March 3, 1876.
The Political arena—Capital Items—The
Medical Bill—The End of the Session—
The work of the week—Centennial Bills,
It is pretty well understood that no mat
ter who gains control of the Democratic
conyention at Lancaster, Gov. Hendricks
is the favorite candidate for the presidency.
There is great discord in the ranks of the
unterrified, and 'Wallace, Black and Ran
dall are waking it hot for each other in
the way of securing delegations. After
Gov. Ilartranft, Blaine seems to be the
choice of the Republicans of the House
and Senate. The Belknap scandal is con
demned by the representative men of the
party and they unite in calling for a sum
mary disposition of the charges against him.
Gov. garkranft has been absent for a
few days attending a tcceting of the al
umni of Union College,gchepectdady, New
York. The hour? of session baveheen es-
tended in the House and Senate. The
Senate will hereafter hold two afternoon
sessions during the week. On Wednesday
afternoon the bill allowing defendants to
testify in criminal eases will be considered,
and eloquence will resound in favor of the
criminal in the Senate. The flag floats
over the capital building during the scs
sions and is lowered when (hey have ad
journed. Senator Stanton has been roughly
handled by McClure's Times, he says he
does not expect justice from such a source.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS,
The medical bill known on the calendar
as an act to protect the people of the state
against incompetent practitioners of me
dicine, surgery and obstetrics has passed
the Senate finally. The bill provides that
hereafter none but graduates of a respect.
able medical institution shall be allowed
to practice, and by heavy license fees
abolishes itinerant doctoring. Any person
who has been in practice ten years or
has attended some medical school for one
session and been in practice five years is
allowed to continue the practice of the
profession. The bill is intended to abolish
quackery, and is considered a wise measure,
at least by the four doctors in the Senate.
Laws of the same character and more
stringent nature are in force in all the
European countries Among the bills
which have passed the Senate finally and
gone to the House for concurrence are the
following : An act to punish parsons for
pointing or discharging fire arms at other
persons. Authorizing the. commissioners
of the several counties to fix the compen
sation for light, rent and fuel for election
districts. An act amending and consolid
ating the game laws. The bill fixes the
dates for the killing of different species of
game, and imposes heavy penalties. This
is the bill which was framed by the Penna.
Game Association. It will no doubt be
amended in the . House, after its passage
there it should be published by the asso
ciation.
The various bills having reference to
troubles in coal regions have received the
consideration of the Senate and have been
defeated. The pretty general feeling in
the Senat' is to dispose of all class legisla
tion in this manner.
Among the bills introduced were the
following: To exempt goods on exhibition
at Centennial from attachment and execu
tion. To fix the amount of fines or pen
alties imposed by building and loan asso
ciations at not over 2 per cent per month.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS,
The House shows no disposition to ad
journ and has more business on the calendar
than they can dispose of in 150 days. They
consider no Senate bills, and the Senate
has retaliated by considering no House
bills in afternoon sessions, and now comes
the tug of war.
A bill has passed that body and been sent to
Senate for concurrence, authorizinc , change
of county seats by a majority of the voters,
the question can be voted upon every five
years. Also authorizing marginal entries
of assignment of mortgages on the original
record.
Much of the time of the House was no
cupied in discussing the bill providing f.r
ventilation of bituminous coal mines. The
bill is violently opposed by the Pittsburgh
delegation, backed by the Pittsburgh Coal
Exchange who argue that it will destroy
the mining interests of this state.
The bill appropriating 540,000 to the
Penna. Centennial Commissioners has
passed the House, $20,000 is to be spent
in buildings and adornment of the grounds,
the remainder, like the Dutchman "we
can't exactly tell" about. A bill has been
introduced to make the lOth of May 1876
a legal holiday.
Col. Forney has been invited to deliver
an address on his Centennial trip to
Europe. It will no doubt be of great in
terest. The report of the chief of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics will be issued
in about a fortnight. Our next will con
tain sonic extracts of this very interesting
document embracing adout 650 pages.
The Belknap Scandal
The Washington Gossip Concerning it—
Belknap's interview with the President.
A Washington dispatch says :
The inquiry of Mr. Clymer's Committee
was carried on very secretly and the facts
elicited held very closely by the members.
The President knew nothing of the facts
until about ten o'clock Thursday morning,
when he heard by accident that certain
facts had been disclosed before the War
Department Committee affecting the credit
of his Secretary. Ile at once sent word
to Mr. Bass, a member of the Committee,
asking hint to call, but before the message
was delivered General Belknap appeared
and offered the President his resignation
in writing. He was greatly affected, and
burst into tears. The President was also
greatly agitated after he understood the
facts, and those who have been familiar
with him for years say he has never ap
peared so much overwhelmed at any event
before. He was very much agitated all
day, and had little to say to anybody. He
has spent much of his time on the street,
walking with his son Ulysses, and during
the day walked to the Capitol, and had
conversations with senators.
The interview between the President
and his Secretary was a most painful and
trying one to both. The Secretary could
scarcely speak, and it. was with great diffi
culty that he explained in a brief and
broken manner his awful fall. Ho said
he took upon himself the whole respon
sibility, and his defence of his wife was
very manly. The interview was very
short, and the President accepted his
resignation at once, without consultation
with any one. For this he is criticised
by many, who say that it would have been
better for the President to have waited
until he had seen the testimony and known
what action the Committee would take.—
Soon after Mr. Belknap left the White
House, the President sent for several of
the members of his Cabinet, to whom he
communicated the astounding intelligence.
He informed Secretary Robeson that he
would have to act, as he has done occa
sionally before, as Secretary of War, and
he told all the members that the subject
would be considered at the Cabinet meet
ing to-morrow.
Mr. Belknap is in a terrible state of
mental excitement, and is quite overcome.
He has not slept for several nights, and
his appearance is distressing. His face is
worn and haggard, his eyes are swoolen
and bloodshot, and his manner is nervous
and excited. He says he takes the whole
responsibility, and that his duty to his
wife is greater than his own honor. He
says that some of the testimony read in
the House on Thursday is true, some is
false, and some he is entirely ignorant of.
It it said that Senator Conklink i as
recommended the President to direct the
Attorney-General to present the case
through the Di3triet-Attorney to the Grand
Jury, for the indictment of Mr. Belknap,
in order that the matter may be brought
before the courts, to decide upon the et'
feet of the resignation. Section 1,781 of
the Revised Statutes, provides that any
officer of the Government who directly or
indirectly takes any money, property, or
other valuable consideration from any per
son for procuring any contract, office, or
place from the government, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be im
prisoned more than two years, and fined
not more than $lO,OOO.
THE WOMAN IN THE CASE-A SKETCH OF
MKS. BELKNAP.

Mr. Bower, and w;.s the ~,ter of Iletteral
13elknap's wile. %%-let died to the
latter part 1:i711, awl in con
sequence (.1 . her (I,!atft there was no recep
tion at the White H ott , e on New Year's
day, 1871. Mrs. Bower whi was then a
widow, was the guest of the Secretary of
War during her sister's brief married life,
and upon the death of Mrs. Belknap Mrs.
Bower took charge of the infant that her
sister left. The child died in the West.,
the next summer, and Mrs. Bower took a
trip to Europe, took up her residence in
General Belknap's home in Washington.
During the ensuing winter the handsome,
dashing widow presided with rare grace at
the dinner parties and receptions that he
gave. She was about thirty-five years of
age, of tall, commanding presence, with
dark, lustrous eyes, and a flashing smile
that discloses a most perfect set of teeth.
Remarkably brilliant color, together
with other personal charms, has given Mrs.
Belknap the reputation of being one of the
handsomest ladies in Washington. Her
fine culture and fascinating manners won
General Belknap's heart, and he married
her just two years after her sister's death.
Since she assumed the duties of a lady of
the Cabinet, her receptions have been
among the most popular, and her manner
has been characterized by a genial warmth,
elegance, and grace. She professed not
to care for the whirl of fashionable society
into which she was thrown, but rather to
prefer the quiet of her home and the so
ciety of her husband and beautiful child,
little "Alice," who has been the pet of her
mother's guests. Still, Airs. Belknap is a
woman possessed of great ambition, and
indulged the most ardent hope that her
husband would have been elected to the
Senate. Worth furnished all her toilets.
Her reception and evening dresses were
magnificent. Her neck and aruts are of
faultless beauty, and the diamonds which
flashed on them were of' great value, often
being mentioned as among the most ele:
gant worn in Washington. Many of these
jewels were the wedding presents from
General Belknap, who, it is now known,
received dishonestly certain sums of money
previous to his marriage with Mrs. Bower.
Brilliant has been the Secretary of War
and Mrs Belknap's social reign, and mel
ancholy beyond description is the socia
and official downfall that marks one of the
most painful phases of unled love of gain.
