It is now said that L. 81. Chandler,
late United States Pension Agent in
Norfolk, who was supposed to have
committed suicide, has absconded
across the water. The Norfolk cor
respondent of the Petersburg Lnder
and appeal says:
He returned to this city from Wash
ington on Tuesday night; on Wednes.
day he settled many little outstanding
debts. and was seen in front of the
custom house in conversation with the
captain of the Norwegian barque which
was to sail and (did saiD next morning.
He wrote a letter which he charged his
family not to deliver to any one except
Platt and Clemments, and left his
house very early in the morning. On
his way from his residence to the river,
he was seen by highly respectable
and intelligent lady, who knew him
window and wat for another man who
Joined him, and the lady is willing
to swear to this statement. She
also says Mr.. G. was not dressed
in night clothes, and that he carried q
satchei or bundle in his hand, which
caused her to think he was going off
on some early train or boat; this was
on the morning he disappeared, and
the aforesaid Norwegian bark sailed
for Ireland on that very mornieg. The
letter which was opened by Platt and
Clements (Platt arriving here just i'll
the nick of tine) was not shown to
anyone elsH; and when they were
asked to explain its contents, replied
that it was "onIy matter of private
bushes" that letter has never
been shown to any one.
The eagerness which Platt & Co.
displayed in trying to convince people
that a suicide had been committed;
their refusal to show the letter left for
them; the opportune arrival of Plat;
the statement of the lady before men
toned; the sailing of the barque; the
conversation with the captain; the alb
sence of the least bit of evidence of
suicide, and the fact of the progress of
the committees on fraud now at work in
Washington and who are gradually get
ting at facts, -are circumstances which
have shaped public opinion here into
a firm belief that the subject of these
remarks is now sailing for foreign
shore, and will soon land far beyond
the reach of the United States sub
penas-that he has either done some
thing wrong or has been sent away 10y
the Radical party in Washington for
the purpose of concealing the guilt of
some one else, shC may be the Secre-
tory of the Navy. or the President
himself. This is public opinion in

Mr.. Blaine is suffering the penalty
of greatness, as greatness goes in the
Republican party of late. If he proves
himself innocent of the charge now
brought against him, be will occupy a
lonely, though virtuous position among

If he falls, he will go down in very
distinguished company. The list of

from Coifax to Belknap, and it would
be only poetic etribution were the
rival Presidential candidates to kill
each other off, as Morton has under
taken to kill Blaine. by mutual reve-

THE lmpEACHmENT.

Yesterday was the day fixed by the
Senate to begin the impeachment trial
of Gen. William W. Belknap, late
Secretary of War, and the eyes OF the
whole country will be eagerly turned
to that body, Watching with impatient
anxiety the result of the trial. For
the first time in the history OF the
country has it been disgraced by an
official SO high in authority, and
the people very naturally await
with much interest to ascer-
tain whether the national honor
is to be maintained, or whether the
confessed criminal is to find shelter
and protection behind the bias OF par
tisans. If the wheels of government
could be reversed, and we could return
to those halcyon days OF corruption,
when Colfax dealt in Credit Mobstaer
bonds, when Schenck sold Emma Mine
stocks, when Boss Sheppard controlled
District bonds, when Harrington en-
ployed experts to rob safes, when Bah
cock was chief of Whisky Rings, when
the Secretary of War robbed soldiers
through post-traders, and when COR
ruption and fraud and peculation
stalked through the portals of the
White House, welcomed guests at
least, we might be sure that the bit
ter partizans who ruled the Senate
would have laughed into ridicule the
charges preferred against the War Sec
rotary.
Now if one guilty man is allowed
to escape by the hasty and regret
full acceptance of his resignation
by the President, the just mitigation
of an outraged people will fall
upon the heads of those who have
screened the criminal. Knowing this,
the controlling spirits of the Senate may
grow circumspect, and hesitate to es-
cape the Scylla OF Jurisdiction, which
able counsel will present, for fear being
drawn into a vortex which would prove
even more fatal. The people demand
that the late Secretary of War shall
be tried for his crimes, and
if convicted, that he shall be pun
ished. No interposition of executive
clemency before convicticn-a Glenn
ency which the constitution deprives
him of after conviction mnst rob justice
of it's victim. General Belknap stands
before the country detected and self
confessed criminal, and the very ex-
allied position which he held, the ma
tional dishonor which his conduct en-
tailed, and his cowardly effort to es-
cape at the cost of his wife's disgrace
only serve to render more hideous his
act.
The trial which began yesterday
will be watched with interest to the
end, and we hope, for the sake of the
country, that in this as in all other
trials now pending and those which
will be Instituted against government
officials, "no guilty man will escape"

NOT TO THEIR TASTE

The New York Times makes the
curious charge that sit is daily becom-
ing more apparent that the SO. called
Investigations by the House of Repre-
sentatives are being conducted solely
in the interest of the Democratic
party" Did anybody ever suppose
says the Baltimore Gazette they were
conducted in the interest of the Re-
publican party? Why, of course they
are in the interest of the Democratic
organization as an organization, but
in addition they are in the interest of
the mass of the people who are not
blinded by partisan politics; who want
honest government, an economical
administration of affairs and a reform
III our political system. The investi-
cations are showing exactly where
the rottenness and corruption ex-
list; they are pointing out the
weak parts in our administra-
tive machinery-the headlights of
the legislative locomotive which
will come laundering along in a short
time. Certainly they are not in the
interest of the Republicans, and it
would be very funny thing if they
were. It is to the interest of that
party to cover up its rascality-to let
the Belknaps cell post traderships,
and swindle the living and the dead
soldiers of the country; to let the Nc
KEGS and McDonalds run whisky
rings and rob the Government; Bah
books and Harringtons plan safe bur.
glaries and measure" the Govern
ment out of hundreds of thousands of
dollars; Delanos starve the Indians,
and Creswells and JEWELS manage the
postofice as political machine. No

Washington speculations in April as
going to vote in June are rather Curl
ons than valuable; but there are news
paper readers who find interest in
them notwithstanding. Mr.. Blaine's
friends are claiming 324 votes for
him on the first ballot-which is aba
surd-Mr. Morton's friends 266-
which is also absurd-leaving the res
idue to be divided between Bristow,
HAYES, Hartranft, Washburne. Conk-
ling and the "Great Unknown. The
guess of the Tribune's ''staf' gentle
man at the capital is: Blaine 256,
Morton 1873, Hartranft So, Hayes A,
Conkling from SO TO 68, Bristow less
than rs. He comedies Blaine New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Is votes
from Massa chusettes and several
Western and Pacific coast delegations
which are still very much in the bush,
50 10 speak; he gives Bristow, Ken
lucky, Vermont, Connecticut, part OF
Massachusetts,, few votes from New
York, and possibly South Carolina.
Bristow, he thinks, will prove ''either
a very weak candidate or an irresista-
bic one;" the present indications, as
viewed from a Washington level, point
to Mr.. Blaine; Morton will touch his
maximum on the first ballot; Hayes
is just possibility; triple alliance of
Cameron, Morton and Conkling may
force the nomination of new man
Wheeler, of New York, for instance.

The New York Herald gives Senator
Bayard handsome boost as Centen-
NAL candidate. The Herald says be
has never made gpolitical mistake or
miscalculation in relation to any inn
portant subject. On the curreLcy
question he stands almost alone in
never having exhibited the highest
symptom, OF weakness or vacciilation
either in the Senate or on the stump.
He did not wait to consult with friends
before deciding whether he would r.
ceive the back pay, but spurned it and
refused it at once. He is gentleman
of such high honor aud robust integ-
rity that he is quite incapable of hest
tation in any point of conduct which
has moral side. A man whose nature
thus recoils from trimming expedience
commands the respect of his political
adversaries. His character is shield
which blunts the weapons of partisan
attack, and chances of election would
be decidedly better than those of any
other Democratic candidate.

'E'FHFE NEXT SENATE.

The Presidential election is not the
the attention of the Democratic party
this fall. The political complexion of
the Senate is second only to the cleo
ton of the President, and if the party
is wise this is not beyond reasonable
expectation.
The present Senate consists of
seventy-three members, there being a
vacancy from Louisiana, of which
forty-three are Republicans, and
thirty Democrats. This count gives
Booth, of California, to the Democrats
and the other independents to the Re
publicaus.
The terms Of twenty-six Senators
expire on the Sd of March next, of
which seventeen are Republicans and
nine Democrats, besides the vacancy
from Louisiana is to be filed. OF the
seventeen Republicans that party are
quite sure of returning their friends
from Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachu-.
sets, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska
and s outh Carolina, and have already
elected Republican Legislatures in
New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
This would give them thirty-six
Senators.
The Democrats have or will return
all of the nine whose terms expire, and
have already gained Senator in Miss
issippi, and secured a Democratic Legis-
lature in Texas and will send Demo>
crat in place of Hamilton, Republican.
In Arkansas and New Jersey their
chances are almost certain of sending
Democrats, while in Louisiana a Dem
oc-atic triumph will secure two Sen
ators. This would give that party
thirty-six Senators.
The two remaining Senators come
from the doubtful States of Illinois
and Wisconsin, the result in those
States depending very greatly upon
the candidates for President on the
National tickets of both parties.
In any event the political complex
ion Of the next Senate presents ques-
ton we'll worth the attention OF party
leaders and party conventions.
