Political Wickedness in High Places
Scarcely has the country got
over the Babcock trial, before an
other instance of corruption is pre
sented for the consideration ot tbe
honest and sober thinking people
of the country. It seems that tho
ofticcs of the Government are filled
by men who do not understand the
first principles of honesty—for
they most certainly do not prac
tice it.
William W. Belknap, Secretary
of War, has been guilty oi malfea
sance and malpractice in office.
On the 2nd, Clyn er, of Pennsyl
vania, Chairman of the Commit
tee on expenditures in the War De
partment, presented the following
resolutions to the House of Repre
sentatives:
“ Resolved , That William W.
Belknap, la‘o Secretary of War,
he impeached of high crimes and
misdemeanors in office.
“ Itesolvcd, That tho testimony
in the case of Win. W. Belknap,late
Secretary of War,be referred to the
Judiciary Committee, with instruc
tions to prepare and report, with
out unnecessary delay, suitable ar
ticles of impeachment against the
faid Wm. W. Belknap, la efecre
tarv of War.
“lit solved, That a committee of
five members of the House be ap
pointed and instructed to proceed
immediately to the bar of the Sen
ate, and there impeach Wm. W.
Belknap, late Secretary of War, in
the name of the people of the Uni
ted States, of high crimes and mis
demeanor when in office, and in
form that body that formal articles
of impeachment will in due time
be presented, anil to request the
Senate to take such order in the
premises as they may deem appro
priate.”
Belknap would certainly have
been impeached had it not been
pat President Grant accepted his
resignation. The reason which
Grant gives can he gathered from
the following extract from a tele
gram:
<'Tlie President, in a conversation
with friends to-night, stated em
phatically that lie was not aware
of the enormity of,the charge
against Belknap at the time he
tendered and the President accept
ed his resignation. From the hur
ried and incoherent manner of
Belknap’s communication to him,
the president drew the conclusion
that Mrs. Belknap, and not her
husband, was the guilty party, and
that the General assumed all re
sponsibility and censure in order
to shield his wife. Although he
did not inform the president that
he was actually guilty himself, he
confessed that he was not free from
blame. The president says that ii
he had known the full measure of
Belknap’s guilt, he would not have
yielded so readily to Belknap’sap
peal in accepting the resignation
in the mild terms he did—would
have demanded that the official
relations between them should im
mediately cease, and that Belknap
should at once vacate his office,
and take all the consequences of
his official misconduct. The pres
ident had no suspicions up to ten
o’clock to-day that Belknap’s offi
cial conduct was the subject of in
vestigation; and nothing could
have occasioned him more sur
prise than the communication made
to him by Belknap himself at the
time lie presented his written res
ignation.”
' phe following telegraphic dis
patches throw some light on the
Buhject:
“Clymer,' of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the committee, made
the following report: In obedi
ence to the order of the House, we
proceeded to the bar of the Senate,
and in the name of this House and
ol'all the people of the United
States of America, wo impeach, as
wo were directed to do, Wm. W.
Belknap, lute Secretary of War ot
the United States, of high crimes
and misdemeanors while in office,
and wo demanded that the Senate
shall take order to make him
appear before that body to answer
for the same, and announced that
the House would soon present ar
ticles of impeachment and make
them good, to which tho response
was made. “Order shall bo tak
en.”
“Washington, March 3. —The
Cabinet met at noon to-day, all the
members being present, and re
mained in session till after three
o’clock in the evening. The
subject that received conside
ration was the institution ot crimi
nal proceedings against Belknap
and those who were associated
with him in the practice of bribery
and corruption that have just been
officially discovered, and tho selec
tion of anew Secretary of War.
The president stated to the cabinet
that while lie could take no stops
which might look to the prosecu
tion of any one, he had determin
ed to shrink from no responsibility
that rested upon him, and he there
fore asked the Attorney General
to take immediate steps to proceed
with criminal charges against Gen
eral Belknap, Messrs. Marsh and
Tomlinson, and all others shown
by any evidence that shall be ad
duced to have had part in the pain
ful transactions that were the sub
ject of attention. Upon this deter
mination of the president there
were full and thorough expres
sions of opinion favoring such ac
tion as the president had determin
ed upon without delay. Tho pe
culiar character of the case of Gen
eral Belknap’s offence, differing in
many respects, as it does, from an
ordinary case of comment and dis
cussion the result of which xvas
the reference of the entire matter
to the Attorney General, who will
take the necessary steps to enter
criminal proceedings just as soon
as the facts can he put in
shape to be sworn to. Asa part
of the discussion it is mentioned
that there should he no delay in
the proceedings because of the
progress of an impeachment trial.
The two trials will be entirely in
dependent of each other. Judge
Pierrepont remained at the Exec
utive Mansion for a short time af
ter the other Cabinet officers had
gone to their respective depart
ments for the purpose of getting
what facts the president might be
possessed of, in accordance with
the determination to commence
immediately the proceedings un
der his charge. The discussion
relative to the appointment of a
successor to Secretary Belknap
was of considerable length, but no
decision was reached, and there
will probably 7 be another Cabinet
session about it. Tlicgissuranee is
given that the person who will be
appointed to the office will be a
man of high character and known
position.”
“Washington; March 4. — r lhe
sub-committee have completed the
articles of impeachment. The Com
mittee on expenditures of War De
partment are said to be satisfied
that Belknap’s possessions are
worth a quarter million. General
Custer telegraphed to Ueister
Clymer that in his opinion there
was no trading post westof the Mis
souri river which had not been
bought by parties holding it.”
It seem3 that it is not enough
that a man should prove himself
unworthy of public trust, but lie
must be rewarded for his dishones
ty. Babcock’s friends have deter
mined to raise thirty thousand dol
lars to reimburse him for the mo
ney paid out in his trial. Surely
there does seem to he something
in the proverbial “Honor among
thieves.”
Tbe House Committee on Terri‘ories

T ie L gisli uie
Our strictures last week on tho j
Legislature luivo I icon l adversely i
criticised by a frioml of tho paper.,
Ho says they are too sweeping, as
they, ii his opinion, should have
been made applicable especially to
the Senate, the Representatives hav
ing passed by handsome majorities
all the bills advocated by ns, the re
sponsibility of their defeat, resting
therefore with the Senate. We
cheerfully accord “honor to whom
honor is due,” and blame to whom
blame.
Our remarks were not meant to
reflect upon any individuals of cither
branch of the Legislature, but upon
the body and its actions ns a whole.
It is generally admitted that the
legislation of tho past session was
very unsatisfactory, in ilie sum total,
though several good and important
bills were passed.
Our ltepre-cntativc, Maj. K. W.
Miller, discharged bis duty faithful

islature —in the Senate as well as in
the House.
A Constitutional Convention.
On our first page will he found
a communication from ‘“Rcdbouc,”
under the above caption contain
ing some telling arguments in fa
vor of a Constitutional Convention.
The “bone and sinew” of tiie land,
the feeders of the country, who are
most directly interested in the mat
ter and are to be especially bene
fitted or injured by the calling of a
Canvention, all have asked for it.
The opposition that it will entail
a heavy expense. If the people
want it and are willing to pay for
it, let them have it. They are the
interested parties.
The Louisiana Senate, Republi
can, in real or pretended fear of
violence from the Conservatives,
has had bars and other fastenings
prepared with which to barricade
the Chamber, and surrounded it
self with a large number of' po
lice. The hew Orleans Bic
ayune and Times scoff at flic Sen
ate’s panic, the latter saying: “The
only circumstance that could have
suggested apprehension at ail, is
the suggestion in two reports from
House committees that articles
of impeachment be drawn against
the Governor and Treasurer.”
The Proposed Raid on Mexico.
According to the New York Times
General Slieriden’s plan for the imme
diate pacification of die Mexican border j
troubles is not regarded with favor in j
Washington. lie proposed to enlis' !
ten thousand Texan militia for a short,
sharp, and decisive campaign. With
these, and full powers as military com
mander and negotiator, the General
thinks he will be able to restore peace
in a surprisingly short period, and, a:
ti e same time, acquire a slice of terri
tory from our neighbor, comprising a
tract of land “very rich in minerals,”
and five hundred thousand square mile
ill extent. Commissioner ilubb, I lie
distinguished carpet-bagger who will b
remembered as Collector of tuts lort,
and who has spent two years on the
border at a good fat salary, taking tes
timony concerning tbe raid, has ano
ther plan which embraces an immediate
demand on Mexico for tbe eleven mil
lion dollars claimed to be due on ac
count of damages. Singularly enough
he agrees, like General Sheridan,
about acquiring in some way that cove
ted tiact of Mexican soil, which is de
ola ed to be ‘‘very rich in minerals.” It
is properly said, remarks the Time-,
that ten thousand Texas militiamen
would be sure to get us into difficulties
with Mexico; but nobody seems to see
the impropriety of even discussing the
possibilities of our being able to snatch
away sundry square leagues of our
neighbor's territory.— Sav. News.
Havana, March 4. —lt is officially
reported from Thomas L'eGiberbe, Feb.
29th, that three hundred Spanish cav
alry, while scouring the country, met
six hundred mounted Insurgents com
manded by Maximo Gomez. The
Spanish had hardly time to draw their
sabres. A hand to hand combat fol
lowed, lasting an hour, at tle end ol
which time they remained masters of
the battle field. Their loss was 2G kilii
ed and 33 wounded. Loss of the ene
my is considered at least equal. Cap
tain General Javcllar reached the scene
very soon after the fight. This is the
first engagement of any consequence
for a long time.
The Nashville American is of the
opinion that the New York partisan
press, without distinction of party,
would sooner see their respective par

than see a Presidential ticket elected
that was not avowedly in the interest of

Hog Raising.
Mr. Editor:
Yon asked lor a communication on i
hog mining—l supposed Mr. <l. 'N.
(). Monroe,.!. I!. Short, or M.. Motion, j
would have favored yon, ns they tire J
successful hog men. But, as neither
of them have pul in an appearance, !
I will Hiug out some hog remarks,
hut us 1 am not of a hoggish turn ot!
mind you will be disappointed in j
what 1 shall have to say.
A clean, sleek, lat hog, is an ex-1
tremoly handsome iittlo creature,
and to have them leisurely saunter
ing about your premises, with his
extreme rear extremity nicely curled
up (as if some tiny hand had put it
up in paper, which seems to be the
pride of his swineship, and (lie ad
miration of his owner) is the simplest
business in all the world. Ho is not at
all careful about how his food is pre
pared, or how it is ollered to him.
Y r ou limy just fling it over the fence
at him on the naked ground without
| otleuding linn in the least, and lie is
I not particular about tlm quality of
I his diet. Jt is the quantity that is
I likely to give you serious concern.
| In order to keep him in good condi
tion it is only necessary to give him
plenty of corn, wheat, oats, and rye;
and if your sod should he of a sili
cious nature, not well adapted to
I producing the abovementioned cere
als in abundance, you may plant
peas, potatoes, turnips, goobers, and
i the like boiled with some grist or
j middlings stirred in, in order to give
the adipose cells more consistence.
With this kind ot treatment, from
j day to day, he is a docile, quiet,
| snug, cos3 r , little creature; but if you
should neglect, or if it should other
wise turn out that you were not in
possession of the aforementioned in
dispensibles, with which to gratify
his craving, glutinous appetite, his
swineship dwindles down, revealing
to bis owner ail the attributes of a
slab-sided shout, being armed with a
bony structure which is attached to
his Lee, lie w.ll m >vc nervously about
thrusting said appendage, nose,
rooter, proboscis or whatever you
may please to call it, nto mother
earth, making unsightly ho'es in the
ground and with the assistance of
the aforementioned rooter, he forces
his way iuto some potatoe patch,
corn or wheat fa Id, mid it .he cuuuot
do any better lie wiil make it conven
ient to meet up with an old Inn with
a do,’,l’tt chickens and gobble them up,
Unis creating a ills ttrbanec in acer-
I tain part ot the It uts- hold where it
! is likely to be of a serious nature,
i the good dame will “go for him,”
ordering Johnny to loose old
j Crunch. And if that hog makes his
I escape with only the loss of a car,
| he will have abundant reason to con
gratulate himself mi his extreme good
| fortune; and as he leaves OaiieL
i in undisputed possession of his ear
1 he feels extremely hoggi-h.
