TliM i* Hie qui.’ion many are asking now. and while il U generally admitted that evidence sufficient to impeach Grant can t>e obtained, 1 think the prevailing opinion la that It would be unwise to proceed to that extreme It will be more (adilic to otnhin the evidence and lay il before the country, and Icivc the people lo 4t in judgment up.n it. Impeach ment, with a ccrtaiu claai, would be re garded u rtrmecat I on, and might aecure Grant's r. election. Ilia military record would be paraded, be would te declared the mvior o! bin country, and impeach ment would strengthen rather than weaken him with a very large claw who have never looked upon history from but one, and that a bigoted eland point. It ,» safe, therefore, to answer the above .juration ia the negative. The president will not be tmpcactiel. But be will go outof .he wb.te house with an unenvia l.lr reputation.

He found utat irregular loans had been made to pr-jdiace dealers, and that a great many bad debt* were the result. Among these debts are acceptances of Duncan, Miermaa A Co., to the amount $7u,U00. There are other debt* in na varying from $10,000 to $20,0.0. When these facts were ascertained, the bank examiner reported to the clear ing hou*e committee, and, at the meeting Una morning, it was decided that a re ceiver ought to be asked for and the bank closed, lo accordance with this view, Meigs at once telegraphed the comptroller of currency, John D. Knox, for the appointment of a receiver. T'he result of the investigation of the bank’* account tends to show that its failure will not aflect any other banks, and it ia (Oougbl that the failure will not be fol lowed bv other financial disasters. Mr. Patrick, the vice president, un- ilet went a long examination before the clearing, hous: committee this morning. Vue newaot the suspension created great xcib ment at the stock exchange. The P<*i, in its financial article, says the ef fect of the closing of the bank at the slock exchange was to create wild ex ciiement, during which there was a sharp decline in prices T'wh continued only short time, when the facts became Known and prices recovered. Part ol the decline was in the gold msrket The elloci was to put the price up to $1 15, »m which has since fsllen to $1 14^.

The bonds for three millions were converted into an equivalent amount of capital stock, and fifty-eight thousand shares were si once placed on the market, making Erie stock as plenty as even Mr Drew roaM desir . The stock fell at ooce from 95 to 50: From that time Mr. Drew baa ms senes of successes and re verses, like all Wall street operators, but his greatest losses occurred in western railroad stocks during the three years previous to 1»75. Mr. Drew then retired from the mar ket wealthy. In the famous s&called “Harlem Corner,” Mr. Drew was not so successful, but was entrapped bv Com- m ulore Vanderbilt, and contributed,his ■aid, n arlv half a million of dollars to his great rival's wealth.

UlS CABkCH. Very little is kuown at the prtseni time iu Wall street concerning Mr. Drew’i failure He withdiew from active busi- ues* and all conntalion with the strec more than a year ago, and since that lime it is believed that be has only ar tended to bis private affairs. Mr. Drew was for many years a-prominent director and manager of the Erie railway com pany. He first made his appearance in its board of directors in 1850, or about that time, and remained in office until 1809. During id* connection with th* company be generally held the office treasurer. It was in l866,honcver,when Mr. Drew’s ability as a fiusncial operator was most appereuL At that time the rock of the to d was selling al 95, and its treasury was, as usual, in pressing w ant of money, and Mr. Dre w stood ready lo make the desired advences upon security. Ihe story of the subsequent operation is related’m »ut>»uccc as fol Iowa Tbe Commercial Adverti-er says: Mr. Drew and bis speculations were for nearly twenty yean* identified with the fortunes, good and ill, of the Erie road. But the two interests have noth ing to do with each other to-Jay. Mr. D. had nothing to do witn the fall of Erie into the receivership of 1875, and the better fortune of Ene to-day lias nothing lo do with tbe fall of Kr Drew in 1876 Tne latir speculations of Mr Drew wen both singular and unfortu nate—singular in tint he went into con cerns wit tbe origin and history of which he was comparatively ignorant, and disastrous because <d this ignorance, and of the wretched advice of some ot bis friends. Tbe Wabad) stock.in which he operated very heavily, is a com plete wreck. 1 be C «nton land company of Baltimore, an uld drab ol Wad street of forty \ears’ history, in ali which it never paid a dividend except in promises, fell on his bands from par to 40 per cent, and the stock ol the Quick silver company of California also heavi ly depreciated on bis bands, though a fair property at a price. It ia rumored that be hod his losses also as a bull in gold a year or so ago, but to his credit it may be i-aid that during the war be was a consistent friend ol tbe public credit. The largest fortune we ever heard Mr. Drew credited with was fourteen million dol ars; the smalle-t, before the tide turned in his nffairs in 1872, was five or six millions He donated largely to the Methodist church when be could afford to do so, anil he met bin losses iu the street bravely while his available means enabled him to keep up his credit. *f ihe blast toe birds te.-caxne the prey; Their meat wax scattered like rain or spray.

A Secret Visit to Xr. f ljimer. Correspondence of the Philadelphia Times. Washington, March 12.—A great many people wborecognixe.uncozucious- ly to themselves, tbe noble sentiment (in the abstract) of taking the side of tbe un der dog in a fight, without regard to the merits, are loud to their denunciation of Marsh for doing what thieves and thief- tak rs ca’l “squealing on his pal,” Bel knap. They say, and tbe New York Graphic is the ablest exponent of ibis thought which runs through people’s minds—or rather hearts, for it is an af fection of the heart and not of the head —that having been guilty of bribery and the attendant small vices ol robbing sol diers and Indians necessary to moke it profitable to keep up the bribery con tinuously for a series of years, Marsh could very easily have given another strain to his conscience by committing perjury before the investigating com mittee. He could have denied all collu. sion between himself and Belknap, or at least he could have regarded the refine ment of tbe lawyers’ maxim: Aliud ceiare, aliud tacere—it is one thing to conceal, another to be silent, and gotten out of the country and let the democrats howl their suspicions, which the act of fiight would have given rise to, as much a»- they phased, but nobody would have been hurt. Now, though “I grant your worship Marsh is a knave, yet, God w ot, a knave should have some audience,” ami there is a way of looking at it in the light of a bottom tact which is in my posses sion that may put a different complexion It the aign of a wreck ii The Drag m has saappt ' .mi** i( caiixh in the Llon'» lair. iaj be, the Twins encountered the Bear. o the Fishes there. s news from Louisville. y Harrison Gill-- . .oiks old Allen's jokes— Fen atou Suakok’m income is about $3 000 per day.

New York Commercial Advertiser. •no of me mysteries of New York, of which we have never seen in type an at tempted explanation, is: “What und(r tbe fcun becomes of »b*' enonnous quan tity ot tins coarse brown wrapping-paper which we merywhere asc piled up U* tbe ceiliua iu w^reliousea, <*r Miiviog acica>^ the sidewalk from truck to store, like Parthian arrows darkening the sun, or pcrchuce coming to tbe city from imils in the surrounding country, loadiuv* who e trains ot freight cars”? This sure ty to a profound puzzle, which few tv n among old r» aid* uts can unravel But here to the answer: (“Tell il uot iuGath; mbluth it not in stree's *»t Askelou ”) In »nef, we have »*t this port an cnoronious xport trade iu Mraw paper beiwcr n New York aud Havana, where it enters manufacture of tobacco. The trade can tie reckoned by thousands of tons Not a sic .oner leav* a port that dins not take out from 2,COO to 5.0 0 reams, or in occa»ioua) instances as high as 39,000 But very few days Lave elapsed since a steamer sailed with tbe quantity last named. It was long since evident that tnis te avy export of paper—that, too, all of a s'ugle description, the coarsest and che ifn-st—cou’.d not be for ordinary consumption. No market could po^ibly demaud such quautties u"Itss people were inordinate choppers and did noth ing except run to the grocery for small packages. Th*- paper referred to sells at iwtnty-six cents j*r ream of tight or • ine pouuda aud when packed for export is u.'Ually pTcs**d into bales of ICO each. It is said that the exports are t>o large that our enrire doimstic consumption is scarcely e<jual toone.sixUa-nth ot the total snipped to Cuba alone, white additional quantities aie in dentaud for Brazil, Ber muda, Ac , very much of ii doubtless going into the manufacture ot cheroots and cigarettes. For this purpose we are told it serves admirably, the paper, un der coiubustiou, leaving no ic.-uiumn other than a pure with ash. There is hut one conclusion, as remarked by a leading dealer in the trade, that the bulk •f tins paper is converted into cigars ot the lower grades, and when returned ui der cus otu bouse brands, neatly is xed and frazram with illusive odors, readily commands a sale.

It will be remembered bow Marsh squirmed and twisted before his actual appearance before the committee in bis effort to aave Belknap; how be offered to leave tbe country, and bow he sent false reasons for hto n.on appearance, at the suggestion of BelkAip** friends und bow finally, when be did appear infor mally on Monday afternoon and make hto statement to Clymer and a lew others of the committee who happened to be present in the committee room—Clymer being then acting in tbe capacity of a nrusecuting officer learning for Ue first time wbat hto chief witness would say prior to bis official appearance before tbe sitting committee tbe next morning—he, Marsh, spoke so guardedly that hto statement was satisfactory to the relatives of Belknap, and they actually consented to bis going before tbe committee the next day. So up to Tuesday morning, before tbe committee met, Mr. Marsh bad fulfilled all tbe conditions which tne MOST PUNCTILIOUS HONOR AMONG THIEVES would have required. He had said noth ing which directly traced the money into Belknap’s bands with a knowledge of its corruption. “If Marsh bad left tbe country Monday night,” says a high and iufiueutial member of Clymer’a commit tee, “and left bis written statement be hind him, a statement which Belknap’s frieuds were satisfied with. Belknap would have defied tbe committee; be never would have resigned; the president would have considered him *uuder fire’ and stood by him, and with the aid of hto pliant attorney general would have frightened every witness who had any knowledge of the case out of hto boots and out of the reach of the subpwoa cf the committee. There was not enough in that statement to convict Belknap, and the valiant general would have hid den himself behind the petticoats of a woman aod held on to his portfolio. But your Pennsylvania man, Clymer, had m hto breast a secret which he dared not tell even to hto fellow-coinmitlee-men— he couldn’t tell it to Mrs. Caudle, for he lives in Washington en gan»on. lie had gotten in some mysterious way (l think it was from tbe lq* of a heavily veiled wouun, who might have been seen to enter his house late on Monday night), the basis for tbe questions which he ad dressed to the wituess Marsh on the fatal Tuesday morning, after Marsh had given hto harmless tentimony-in-chief. These questions were so startling in their char acter that they made all the rest of us open our eyes wide, and tbe witness MARSH NEARLY BANK TO THE FLOOR. “These questions betrayed Clymer’s intimate knowledge of the secret visit of Marsh to Washington on the Friday night before, and of all the effjrts on the part of Belknap, hto wife and Tomlinson to get the witness to commit perjury and so fix hto statemeut that the rnony could not be traced beyond the womaa. We committeemen had seen with the lawyer’* eye that unlrsswe comdcounect Belkuap more directly with the transaction, he could legally stand ou tbe defensive aud be assisted by Grant while ‘under fire.* So when Clymer showed that he and he alone koew that he could connect Bel knap with the effort to make Marsh com mit perjury, every one saw that be had the fox on the dead run and all the dogs iu full view. No one saw this more quickly than the witness, and his fears even exaggerated the knowledge which Clymer had, and then and then only he confessed all. Instead, therefore, of ac cusing Clymer of calling the dogs off when he had started this fox, he should be commended for his rare caution iu gettine his evidence rounded into a per- tect whole before his spring could catch the woodcock. IV HERE DID CLYMER GET THIS INFORMA TION that enabled him to bring down this high-flying lark, do you ask? All! there’i a dark and scandalous secret behind that. Old Judge Black struck the key note the other day in hto ’chat’ with you—which, by the way, I see to going the rounds of the newspapers. The shrewd old law yer said significantly, ‘it was nothing but a quarrel between two women—Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Belknap—which brought out this thing—a quarrel while they were in Europe, possibly having its occasion in a deeper scandaL’ That deeper scan dal and its consequences might be picked out of ^disjointed sentences like th jse: Marshes and Mrs. Bowers traveling in Europe—Belknap engaged to latter—re port from Paris—Mrs. Marsh—French gentlemen—etc.—suggestion from Bel kn«p that Mrs. Bowers should part com pany—hell, fury, woman scorned, &c.— chance for revenge al ia9t—applied prod to her husband—made him appear before committee. She found hto statement on Monday afternoon too weak to bring down the secretary and hto proud wife, and she (Mrs. Marsh) told Clymer that night the ‘bottom facts’ of the efforts to make her husband a perjurer, and en abled bim(Clymer)lo question intelligent* ly the next oay. 8o toere, you have the true inwardness of.tais case. Now, 1 don’t state this theory of the visit of the veiled woman to Mr. Clymer on Monday night as a fact, but omy iny belief of it.’’ In a fulure edition these deficiencies and many others also may be remedied if the alumni will only communicate the information asked for in this cata logue.

The New York Independent. The member* of the Beecher council are reporting its results to tbeir churches and friends. They are usually very fa* vorable to the spirit and results of tbe council. No specially new views or facts are developed, except as relating to in terviews with 31rs. Moulton and Mrs Tilton. Mr. PcDingill, of the Rutland (Vl) Herald, who was a membet of the council, says: “Several members of the council had interviews with Mrs. Tilton and Mrs Moulton, and obtained from them infor« mation which had no inconsiderable weight in the general result Mrs. Moul ton, told ex-Governor Diugley and others that Mr. Beecher, in his confession to her, never mentioned the words adultery, but that she inferred from language which housed that that was what he meant. [Another delegate says she used it, but not he.] Mrs. Tilton told those who visited her what was tbe crime which she had committed,in oonseq ence ot her discovery of her husband’s infidel ities, and which was the cause of her remorse She determined to bear no more children to him, and, as the statute of limitation now prevents the arrest and punishment of the physician wbo aided her in the accomplishment of her purpose, she ha* no objection to have the fact publicly stated.” This confirms the report that Mr Beecher told the sam° story in hto meet ing with hto Boston friends. Dr. War ren, of the Christian Mirror, who was also preaent,tells the same story of abor tion procured by her, in ihto way: “Could her whole statement as she gave it be made public, it would throw a flood of light on her so-called confes sions, and convince most candid person** not only that she was guiltless, though weak, but also that she desserves the tenaerest cemmtoeration from all who have hearts to feel for tbe suffering.” Heavy storm.

The most horrible and most heartrend ing spectacle it has been our lot to wPne*3 for many a day was that ot the police taking to j lil a young girl last Tuesday. 'The tacts in regard to the case as they could be obtained front the girl herself, who, however, was very reluctant about talking, are about as fol lows: Her home is, or was in Lawrence, a small town a few* miles this side of Indianapolis. She has b« en ne.»r here for two or three days. When fouud oy George Ivirby.last Tues day, she was in a fodder sh:ick iu the corn field just this side of the river. Mr. Kirby came to town in the morning and iuioruied the police of the facts, who at once went iu search of her but she could not be found. About 4 o’clock they went again aod she was found crouching in tbe middle of a shock of fodder. Her appeurauce when the fodder was removed was too terrible to describe. There she sat with ueitber shoe or stockings on her feet, her dress torn into shreds so sma’l that they scarcely resembled a dress, no hat, bonnet, or head-dress of any kind ex cept a small, worn out old shawl. Over her feet was thrown a ragged piece of carpet. Rouud her shoulders was nothing, save the thin piece of calico that was once a dress. Near her lay a small bundle—of what? Nothing but tiie waist of a former dress. There, in that miserable condition, she had been siuce the day before without a mouthful to eat. When she first saw tbe police man she began crying, aud kept it up until after tbe jail door had been locked behind her. Her age, she said, ‘was but sixteen. Her name she would uot gife. Her parents arc both dead, and she poor thing, we were about to say, would be much belter off if she too were dead. Tuesday about noon a—a—what shall he be called? not a man certainly— a something in human form was seen to leave the pile of fodder in which the girl was partially frozen (her feet were badly frozen Monday night) and suffering for something to cat. By her side was fouud a pair of woolen slockiugs wuicli she said had been left her that day, and a pair of worn out overshoes, both of which were lrolf lull of mud und grass After pinning up her dress with pins borrowed from the policemen, she start ed for the jail The details of the affair are too sickening to contemplate. The qm.8t.on, “Who and where :s the man who drove the girl to her present condition?” is too likely to be answered “Ue is of one of the best families and is still moving in the best of society. An other girl who came herewith this one to now, we are told, in one of the houses of prostitution in our city. Here we draw the curtain with the curmst hope that the good Lord will never bring another such a case to our knowledge. Since writing the above Mrs. Marsh und Mrs Willtom Patterson have gone to the jail,taken the girl to the Moote’s home, had her clean ed, chauged her clothing, and put her in charge of the benevolent so ciety. The girl’s feet were so tender from exposure and cold that she was scarcely able to stand it to have them washed. The two ladies mentioned above had her hair trimmed,and arc now endeavoring to secure her a place to work. They both deserve a great deal of credit for the part they have taken ii the matter, for she was truly a deplora ble looking right when first brought to town from the corn field. Secor Robaone’* Riches. The Baltimore Sun. It is reported in Wall street that when Secretary Robeson went into office, he boi rowed $1,0JO to make a presentable appe .ranee, and that to-day he to worth not less than $2,000,000. It is the firm beliel of those who know what they are talking about, that mill ions have been squandered upon favor ites by tbe navy department ever since the commencement of the war, and that the squandering or plundering is still in pleasant operation. Let me cite briefly one case: A con tractor who has had hold of the navy teat for years, and who two years ago lived in a $7,000 residence, now lives in one that cost with its surroundin; $250,000. The palace was built for himself by days* work, and was nearly three years in course of erection. The furniture in it came partly from Paris and cost $50,- 000 The stable, built near the residence, is valued at $20,000 But this is not all. Said contractor, in addition to the above, has become the owner, since hto connection with the navy department, of hundreds of acres or land and valuable buildings and stores, which he has either erected or purchased. Indeed, he to remarked as the wealthiest man in the country in which he resides, and that to not an hour’s distance from the city. These are the facts, and they carry their own comments.

STRANGE PARTING- From the Sioux City Journal. It is seldom indeed that a separa tion of a man and wife occurs under such strange circumstances, and in the manner given herewith. This was actual occurrence a few days since, however, the parties being well known, not only in the country where they re sided, but in this city as well, and might give names, but withhold them for prudential reasons. This much we will say, they lived in the edge of Ply mouth county, we believe in Lincoln township. The particulars as related to us are as follows; The parties refer red to were united in marriage perhaps a couple of years since, and in order consuinatc this end the young mau was compelled to renounce Protestantism and avow allegiance to the Roman Catholic faith, the young woman whom he desired to marry b ing a staunch Catholic. This step he took. In due time after marriage a child was born the apparently happy couple, to more firmly unite their hearts in love for each other. But tlito event did not have a tendency to work that end. Soon after the birth of the child the wife ex pressed a desire to have it baptized in the church and in the faith she had es poused. To this the husband sternly- objected, saying he would as soon see the child dead. Therefore, as the wife could not prevail upon the husband to accede to her request in the matter of the baptism of the little babe, the sub ject for the time being was dropped- A little later the babe sickened and died, and, in justice to the afflicted ones, we will presume that they both felt as deep sorrow over their loss as a father or mother could feel at the death of an only child. The wife very naturally demanded that a priest officiate at the last sad rites, while the husband strong ly and very unreasonably, as it appears to us, objected to any such thing, and asser ted that a prominent and good neighbor, who oftentimes preaches, but who is a Protestant, should conduct the funeral services. The parents of the young wife, we understand, also endeavored to get their son-in-law lo comply with the wishes of his wife in this respect, but he stubbornly refused to yield, and the little one was laid away to its last rest, we believe, with out any formal Christian burial service. Here, at the grave of the child, was enacted the strangest part of the pro- ceedirg*. In view of what had already transpired, the mother asserted i: to be the duty of her now childless daughter to return home to the pa rental roof, and leave the man whom she had vowed to love and obey, and there, over the fresh grave of their babe, the young husband and wife clasped hands aud bade each other farewell forever. Hew a Fashionable Voting Man Earns a Princely Income. Chicago Tribune. A young man on Calumet avenue who lives on the fat of the mnd, to atlirtd like Solomon in his glory, and nevir plays anything but bh e ch cks He is uot a man-ving m in—hence his income. His method of operation to very simple. He moves in the veiy best society, and keeps an extra eye on the maminonial intelligence 11 the Sunday papers, and an attentive ear on the goesiip ot society. When he sees or hears that Ue genial and p ipuiar Mr. A. to shorn y to lead to the hymenial altar the beauti ful and accomplished Miss B., he opens a social parallel approach to the bride expectant, makes her acquaintance »f he does not already enjoy it, and conducts a campaign of flirtation with the vehe mence of a novice combined with the caution of the veteran. Then he deli cately sets afloat rumors that the match between Mr. A. and Miss B. is off, or that the marriage is postponed tor a while, or that he Uimseit is shortly to be married and the selection of the bride will create a sensation in fashionable circles, and so on. Then Mr. A. gets uneasy and has words with Miss B., or watches her gloomily, and she being aware of this, fi.rls with a grass widow. At this stage the rival approaches Mr. . and enters into negotiations, the re sult of which to that he sells out to Mr. A tor $590 or more, according to the depth of Mr- A.’s passion or the depth of B.’s pocket. Then he breaks with Miss B. in the most heartless manner, aud Mr. A. being providentially on hanu just as the parting takes place, the poor, heart broken girl rushes into hto arms, crying: “O, Adolphus, Adolphus, how could lever wound your faithful breast? You alone care for me, and 1 am rick of this holljw, heartless world. O, do, do marry me and take me away ” That is how the old thing works. A Tribune reporter asked the inventor of this piocess if he did not find that the business bad a ten dency to play itself out; whether the fact of his making so many acquain tances which iuvariably ended with hto throwing the lady overooard iu so ab rupt a manner, did not militate against future successes, and make women wary. “Oh, no,” he re*ponded, affably, “the very fact that I get one woman spoony on me and then jilt her, ouly makes al: the others anxious to have ine cavorting around them. I tell you, sonny, a wo man’s nature to a funny thing ” He also stated that business was never livelier than now, and be thought of advertising for a partner of good address. “Ai present,” he said, “I have three jobs ou hand, aud shall have to rush’em thro ugh, for there’s over a dozen good cases ahead, and y ou’ve got to do tul of your work between November and April There’s one in each division ; Monday» aud Thursdays and Fridays ou the north side, Wednesdays aud Saturdays ovei the west.

No» much, 31 ary Ann! Why, I might met one of my other clieuts, and there’d be trouble ” The gentleman said that, tak ing finances aa they ran, he netted about $750 a head on them.

The cabinet selected and maintained by Grant has bem the worse, and s >me respects the most ridiculous, knowu in any country iu modern times. It has included: C res well, the hero of the ChorpenniDg contracts and other jobs; Williams, the attorney general from Oregon, whose use of public money in providing bis wife with a private laudau let and misapplication ot the funds the department tor electiom ei ing uses in the southern states compelled the people to demaud hto resignation.

At the fuoeral of his wife it to arranged with the accomplice that the stolen money sh< uld thereafter be paid, to the sister, who in time becomes the second wife. Do lives of open sham afford more vul gar exhibitions of unclean hnman na ture? The usual blubbering and slobbering of sickly .sentimentality has begun. “ Fine fellow; sorry for him—sorry f his wife.

When men set their teeth and draw down their faces to the m inner of fixed purpose and begin say, “Remove the vile things out sight,” then we shall approach day break. For he is not a fine fellow, and deserves no sympathy. He has plastered all over himself and all over the womnn whom he*called wife—inflicting suit on every honest wife in the land the flaming placards of low breeding aud nasty vulgarity. J ATLANTA. GA.

New Youk, March 17.—A suit has been brought in the supreme court of this state by the Union Consolidated mining company, of Tennessee, against Julius E. Rapt, its funner superinten dent, charging him with defrauding the company, in the course of ten years, out of $1,275,000, and charging his brother, Chao. Rapt, the former secretary, &nu John Thomas, who was president until last November, with conniving at, and aiding in the frauds of the first named defendant. The method of th? alledged frauds is asserted to have been through what to known in Eng and, and to aome extent in this country, as “The Store System,” by which claims are paid from a compa ny’s store in merchandise instead of cash.
