The Belknap lmpeachm meut

According 10 our Washington specials
the House judiciary Committee now think
that they have obtained sufficient matter
10 serve as a basis for procuring the im
peschment OF Belkpap. That would seem
10 be the case II what they have proves to
be perfectly reliable. Marsh. however,
Is evidently slippery witness. and his sto-
~ may need confirmation at essential
points. There is no doubt whstever in the
public mind, we presume, respecting Be-
knap's guilt; tn. only question is whether
the evidence against him can be put In
such shape as TO satisfy the requirements
of the impeachment process. The line re-
lied upon IL substantially this 4 news
paper article 10 1872 stated all the facts
about the post tradcrships. and was read
by Belknap. who inquired OF Marsh. and
Col. Grier~on a to the truth o: II, and re-
ceIved affirmative answers from both.
And yet he continued TO receive INSTALL
ments of money from Marsh under Circum-
stances which could not have left him in
any doubt as 10 where the money came
from and for what purpose. Let this be
proved and the connection would seem 10
be complete And yet Belknap's Inquiries
OF Marsh and Grierson may be cited to
show either that he was disturbed by the
possibility of any such corrupt agreements
being In existence, or that he was not
aware OF anything OF the kind up TO that
time. II is also very singular that. with
corrupt transactions going on involving so
many persons, the committee have not
been able TO obtain other pertinent wit
nesses than Marsh. Still, as We have said.
il his story as thus far given is not discred-
tied from some unlocked for source. there
is enough TO take the impeachment case
before the Senate, IL that body shall decide
that, as a high court of impeachment, il
has Jurisdiction over n resigned officer.
As 10 that, the case is Tar from being
clear. The whole question rests on the
explicit terms OF the Constitution, and the
mass OF ingenious reasoning on the subject
that has been founded on Parliamentary
practice and recondte legal theories has
little or nothing 10 do with the matter.
Who BY the Constitution are subject to i'm
peachment? Only "ciyil officers; is Bel
knap, then. at the time it is proposed TO
subject him to this process a civil officer?
Plainly he is not. That it was not con-
teTplated that the process should lay
against former officers would appear from
the punishment prescribed, which in one
| place in the Constitution is mentioned as
| removal IRON Office and disqualification
4 for holding Office, aud in another as rcmoy-
/ al from Office alone. There is. OF course
/ all apparent injustice in allowing an officer
to evade this punishment by resignation.
/ but all criminals are liable To evade the
laws by one method and another; besides.
| in this case a man who has done things
worthy Of impeachment continues all the
same exposed to trial and punishment by
the courts. IL is question which will
soon receive the attention and the Impair
tial decision of the United States Senate.

! made for the appointment of a receiver to

How shall We Exterm,nate the Fleas!

Some time last summer we receiv
! ed letter from lady asking the
above question, and stating that the
writer lived on a large stock farm,
and that although the surroundings
and habits of the family were clean
ly, and apparently there were no
reasons for it, yet they were nearly
eaten up by the pests. She says:
81 have tried pennyroyal, carbolic
acid, safety fluid, air Stacked lime,
ETC., but still they come, and to-day
one actually hoped onto nv plate
while at dinner. Mosquitoes and
flies we keep out by wire frames at
every door and window, and we have
no bugs in beds by constant yigi-
ance. Now to be tormented by heas
day and night is most to aggravat-
ing for human nature to bear patient
ly. | suppose that we cannot help
their being brought to the house, for
we have six men around the hogs
and stock every day, who. probably
bring them in their cloths" and in
desperation she asks: "Is there moth
ing the aroma of which will drive
them away"
We answer now for your benefit
next year when the hopping flea
comes, he comes to stay, whether his
hosts are willing Or not. If you can
inveigle him onto q wooden blanket,
where his nimble feet will become
entangled III its tibrous surface, and
catch him, you may get rid of a few
by administering the much quoted
Frenchman's powder. But the num-
Der you will destroy in this way will
hardly be worth taking account of
among the myriads left. Frost has
put an end to their lively antics for
this year, bnt we would advise you
to start on a tour of inspection
through the stock range ofyour farm,
aud search out the root of the evil,
which you will Likely find in some
old straw pile, or in pens around
which dry litter has accumulated;
may be in a chip pile, as fcas are
specially partial to such places III
which to breed. The only way to cX-
terminate them will be to search out
and burn any such haunts this fall,
thus destroying the eggs which will
produce, otherwise, 4 crop next year.
In places where burning would be
attended with danger, refuse may be
hauled to Il safe locally and then
burned. Probably u free use Of car
bolic acid i'll haunted spots after re-
moving the litter, would be well.
