BELKNAP 3 FALL~IORRUPTION-IN 'THE
CABINET.
For some time past unpltiitsmt ru nont
in reference to Secretary Belknap, h ivo
been circulating in Washington, amt they
have oome at last to n most astonmling
i tunuhcmerit. A Uonjji*e.-tsionnl Gonimil.
tee obla'mcil sufficient evidence, a few
days ago, to justi.y them in sunimoning
the Secretary of W.>r to appear ami a >■
Mirer the charge of oftiouil oorrnpi ion.
Secretary Belknap duly appeared, nml
was intormcd that he was charged with
having sold the post leadership at Fort
Sill, for $20,000, and an annual stipend
Geo. Belknap’s reply was a tu'l eonles
sion of guilt, and an appeal lor mercy,
lie requested permission to resign, but
to tills the Committee could not and
would not consent. The wretched Sec
retary then visited President Giant, gave
him a partial statement of the ease, and
tendered his resignation. The President
was deeply mortified, but immediately
accepted the resignation, and ordered
Secretary Ilobrson to temporarily take
charge of the War Department. .
The matter thou came before Congress '
ill the shape of a report from the Com -
mitleo, and notwithstanding the fact that
the culprit had reugned, it was unani
mously resolved that he should bo im
peached, and a Committee was appointed
to prepare the srticlrs of impeachment
for the Senile. The tide of opinion was
decidedly against tho President's notion
in allowing Belknap to retign under such
circumstances, and Gram doubtless felt
its effect, for ho lias now ordered the
Attorney General to institute n criminal
prosecution, in pursuance of which the
Secretary has been arrested, •
Tho most revolting element in the case
is tho tact that die sale ot the trader’s
post was made, and a part of tho bribe
received, by Belknap’s dead wife ; the
remaining installments, however, passed
iuto Belknap's h inds, or wore paid to
his present wife, Ills deceased wile’s sis
ter.
Tho investigation of the ease bo tore
ttic court, un i also in tho impeachment
trial will bo of painful ini' rest. The
Secretary has retained Jere Black, Mont
gotnory Blair and Malt Carpenter as
counsel, and it is said that the jurisdio
lion of the Senate will bo denied, on the
proun i of tho defendant's resignation
Mrs. llelkn p is reported to be in an
agonised state of mind. Sim assumes
the entire guilt, ami has made pathetic
appeals for her husband.
The defendant belongs to a historic
family, and by gallantry in the field
raised Vniseit to the position of Briga
dier General it) Sherman's army. IBs
record had been an honorable one until
his connection with Grant’s udmiaistr i
lion. Ills fail aud terrible disgrace will
be a severe blow to the Republican par
ty. It will be wonderful indeed if they
prove themselves able to travel
witit suck a burden of fraud and iniquity
. upon their shoulder*. Let us liopo for
Iho daw of a better day.
lIEN HILL'S LAST el'Ele'll.
'l’he House bad the subject of pitisiottr
mdtr consideration, the other day, and
discussed the propriety ot restoring to
■he pension list (lie soldiers of the wat
of 1812 uriiii Vad been stricken there
from because of their Southern sympa
thies. The debate was of a decidedly
spicy character, and Hon. 11. 11. Hill took
ulvaniage of the occasion to relate a
little history. In the course of his re
marks he said it was rather singular that
when the Southern soldiers were fighting
the British at New Orleans, a Committee
of New Englanders were promulgating at
Hat lford the very doctrine of Secession
which the South afterwards acted upon.
This brought Mr A'kins, a Tennessee
Democrat to his feet to rebuke Mr. Hill
for reviving dead issues.
Mr. Hoar, a Massachusetts Republican,
followt and in an animated speech, denying
the correctness ot Mr. Hill’s deductions,
and questioning his loyalty.
We notice that a good many papers, of
both parties, seem to regard Mr. Hill's
conduct as being rash and impolitic, but
it is evident that be is regarded by all as
a | owerful debater.
SILVER PAYMENTS.
The arrangements preliminary to the
payment ot silver in the pluae <>t fine
tionul currency in small -sums have been
perfected at the Treasury Department,
and all that remains to carry nut this
first, step toward* specie resumption is
the promulgation of the order of the
Secretary of the Treasury. A Washing
ton disimttfli savs this order has already
. ... ii.. .u-
been drawn up ami simply awaits the
signature of the Secretary to give it
etf et. It ir ascertained tb it the delay
arises on some matters of detail, which,
provided for, ilmorder will be sent out to
the proper-officers. The act to provide
lor the resumption of specie payments,
approved Jnnuaiy 14, IST A, requites the
Secretary of the Treasury as rapidly as
practicable to cause to be coined at the
mints of the United States silver coins
ot the denominations ot ten, twenty five
and fifty cents of the standard value, and
to issue them in '■redemption of ail equal
number and amount ot fractional curren
cy of similar denominations, and leaves it
to his discretion to issue these subsidiary
1 coins in the manner provided, through
the minis, the sub-treasuries, public de
positories and post offices of the United
States. The aggregate amount of silver
on hand is over twelve million dollars,
which, with thr current coinage, is amply
sufficient. Of this aggregate sum the
treasury has distributed sufficed amounts
to the sub-treasuries, public depositories
and post offices to commence paying out
at any time which may he designated
by tho order 61 the Secretary ef the
Treasury.
Dr. Linderman, the director df tho
a int, expresses the opinion that it is
feasible to commence the redemption of
fractional currency with Stiver cohi itn
niediatcly.

I {everting to the fact that the times

the bad men who are uow destroy mg the
country. As long as they are willing
to aid in the continuance of such rulers
as we have in Washington, just so long
will the lurking danger continue and
the threatened ruin lie rendered more
sure and ee' tain. If they want to break
the chain that hinds them, they must
strike the blow themselves. They have
a staunch weapon that can do it—a
weapon that is always within their

A weapon that eomos down f.R still

Mrs. Belknap his been the o b'e'r,: of
general admiration since first site catne
to Washington six years ago to visit her
sister, the former wife ot General Belk

and witty coir*. (National powers at once
made her a central finite in any assem
blage. Bhe in tall, has a well developed
and rounded form, Iter complexion clear
and fair, while her hair is black, and her
eyes black and very bright. When first

was the widow of a Mr. Bowers, who
had died some months before in Cinctn
nati. Her family name was Tomlinson,
mil ■she was a native ol ilarrodsburg,
tty. Iler father, Dr. Tomlinson, was
an eminent physician, and highly con
nected. He bad a large family of sons
and daughters. All of the latter were
noted for their beauty and were reigning
belles of their native State. The moth

and very short sleeves, as well as the j
tablier and trains of ivory-tinted silk !
trimmed with fringe and lace, Or even
her carriage costumes—one of blank-vel
vet and itice, another ot blue velvet,
trimmed tvith bands of pheasants’ feath
ers. She has many other toilets of the
richest material. Mrs. Belknap is dainty
from betel to foot. Hats and boots
match each oosiume. Iler foot is the
smallest in Washington. She wears a
number one and a had shoe,'though sit 1
is five feet six inches in height. Slip

marriage with General Belknap she
spent eighteen months in Europe, and
