London, March 4.-The Times this
morning says, editorially,o of Belknap
The scandal of this event is ore
grave because it is confirmatory of
the suspicion which has long prevail
ed among the American people.
Even we Europeans cannot but be
struck with the altered tone in
which Americans speak, II not Of
their institutions, at least of the meu
who have the present direction of
them. The News, abiding t. the
same subject, says: The American
political life seems to be in anything
but a healthy condition. 1t refers to
the whisky fraud trials, the Emma
Mine scandal, and the downfall of
Belknsp, and says that these scandals
lift the veil from a class of society
which it had hitherto pretty generally
supposed had, as yet, escaped expo
sures, and they lead one to fear that
some of the worst vices Of municipal
government may be percolating into
the federal administration. The
Telegraph says: Disclosure after dis
closure, charge after charge, varying
in degrees of truth, but with the
same ugly and untoward character
that have lately darkened the COM
mercial, religious. political and adj
ministrative institutions of the Uni
ted States. Some have proved false,
others true, and merely await evil
dence, but the general effect, beyond
denial, has been, and is, to bring the
blush Of shame and anxiety into the
face of all honest: Americana, and to
make countless friends OF the repub-
lie in this country silent and sor-
rowtul when its enemies rejoice over
their revelations. The Standard says:
happily the countries are few where
30 gross an abuse Of truth would be
possible.

The following paragraph from
the Now York Herald should
make a deep and lasting impress
sion on the popular mind: The.
election of a democratic house
ofrepresentatives in 1874 now proves
to be a national blessing. Not that the
Democratic party is the custodian of
the honor Of the country. butthat the
existence of powerful opposition i'll
congress is necessary to honest adj
ministration. Would a republican
house have investigated the corrup-
ton of the war department? Never.
Party pride prohibited the admission
that inquiry was needed.
