GENERAL BELKNAp,s RESIGNATION.

"Why did President Grant accept Bel
knap's resignation" This is the prevail
ing question of the hour, and is asked as
frequently by the friends as the opponents
of the Administration. Tee answer was
plainly stated in our news columns yester-
day in the explanation that the President,
at the time he accepted it, was not aware of
the fact that Nr. Bclknap's personal acts
were the subject Of Congressional invesLi-
CATION. He knew. of course, that the ap-
propris,e committee OG the House WAS

In THE VIVID LIGHT of their past expo
rience, particularly recalling the malfeas-
ance of Secretary Floyd, the Democracy
begin to predict the downfall of the Re
publican party. But there is a striking
difference between the cases of Belknap
and Floyd. The Democracy cherished
their disgraced Secretary, and made him a
leader after his infamy was known. The
Republicans. while recognizing the miti-
eating circumstances of Belknap's case,
will sec to 1t that no guilty man is allowed
IN nScann

THERE is general current ofsympathy
for General Belknap in his misfortuncs;
but it is coupled in the minds of even his
warmest party friends with determina-
tion that he shall not be allowed to escape
merited punishment.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

The House of Representatives a
Washington took action on the Sehoo
question last week, which also may bt
considered in the light Of clearing the
decks for the great fight, as it would
remove an embarrassing question iron
politics. The joint resolution offered
some time since by Mr.. Blaine O.
Maine, proposing sixteenth amend
m ent to the Constitution of the US.
prohibiting the appropriation by any
of the States Of any school fund tol
the support of Sectarlan schools was
taken up and passed by the remark
able vote of 1875 to 5, an almost unan-
imous expression Of opinion.
The resolution then went to the
Senate and being referred to the Jul
dietary Committee was reported back
with three substitutes. The Senate
resolutions were of a more stringent
character than the House resolution
but not differing in substance. Being
taken up the vote was q for to 10
against, which was not sufficient as 1t
required two thirds to pass them.
Should the amendment as finally
agreed upon be passed by two thirds
of each branch Of Congress, it would
still require ratification by three
tourths of the State Legislatures.
1t is a matter Of interest also to note
in this connection that the Catholic
Telegraph of last week contains an ar
ticle from Archbishop Purcell, adj
dressed to the people Of the United
States, relative to the attitude Of the
Catholic Church towards the public
school system, in which he declares
that the Church has no disposition to
interfere with the system. He furth-
er says: "No doubt, justice and
equality would entitle tie Catholic
people of this country to exemption
from taxation for the support of other
schools, or to share Of the public
school funds in proportion to the num-
Der of pupils i'll the schools, but even
this we are disposed to waive IN your
favor"

CLEARING THE DECKS.

Clear the decks for action, Is the
first order in naval combat. 1t is
equally important to political par
ties in entering great contest to
clear the platform Of troublesome
dead wood or other impediments. 1t
was probably with this view, although
it was throwing an unexpected bomb
shell into the ranks Of his own party,
that Mr.. Lord, Democrat, Of New
York, offered a resolution in the
House Of Representatives at Wash
ington, last week. 1t was rather
startling resolution, reciting that the
right Of suffrage prescribed by the
constitution of the several States is
subject to the fifteenth amendment,
and that the exercise. Of said right
should be faithfully maintained and
observed by the United States, and
it is asserted that the exercise of said
right is in some States notwithstand-
ing the efforts of good citizens, re-
sisted and controlled by fraud, in
tinidation, and violence, so that the
fifteenth amendment is defeated, and,
that all citizens, without distinction
Of race or color, are entitled to the
rights conferred by said amendment,
and declaring that all attempts by
force, fraud, terror, intimidation, or
otherwise to prevent a free exercise
Of the right of suffrage should meet
with certain condiyu and ettectual
punishment; and that in any case
which has heretofore occurred, or
may hereafter occur, in which vio-
,ence or murder has been or shall be
committed by one race or class upon
another, prompt punishment of the
criminal or CRIMINALS Is lmperltlyely
demanded, whether the crime be one
punishable by fine or imprisonment,
or one demanding the punishment Of
death. The reading Of this resolu-
zion occasioned very general surprise
TO the Republicans, coming as it did
from the Democratic side. At first
it was thought to be trap, but after
having it read again the Republi.
cans accepted it as all right. The
greatest furry was among the Dem.
ocrats, who We're at first inclined tc
blink vote on it. as they doubted
whether this was exactly the right
way to clear the decks Consequent

pistols to keep the drunken rough'
