WHO scARRn nrR MARaHi

Congress has wrestled with this con
undrum a day or two without settling the
question. The fact remains that be is in
Canada and not likely to return at pres,
ent. If either party or any body is to
blame fer his sudden departure at g time
when he was about to be wanted, the
country would like to know it. The
Democrats seem outraged about it
and the Republicans not all sorry.
The sympathy Of the latter is secretly
with Belknap, who has done many Of
them favors which he was only enabled
to do through his corrupt practices. The
people have not forgotten, and will not,
that the whisky prosecutions were vir-
tually discontinued by an order 10 prose-
cute all witnesses 10 any way connected
with the frauds. Honest men OF course
knew nothing, and the smaller ac-
completes we're deferred from giving
their evidence. The administration,
it seems, undertook by the same policy
to run off Marsh and to silence all wit.
nesses who might know anything worth
telling. Marsh was stopping at the Ar.
lington Hotel on the Sd Of March and
seemed in no hurry. A Cabinet meeting
was held at noo that day, at which the
President asked the Attorney General
TO take immediate steps to proceed
with the criminal charges against Bel
KNAPP and Messrs. Marsh and Tomlinson
and all others shown by any evidences
that shall be adduced to have had any
part in the fraudulent transactions that
we're the subject Of attention" This
was the identical language telegraped by
the Associated Press all over the country
that evening. Marsh got wind Of it and
stepped off that afternoon, leaving his
wife to follow alone. The responsibility
rests with the President.

PARIS. March TO- The journal OF.
cisl this morning formally announces
the new Cabinet. 1t is composed as
stated yesterday. The Republique
Francois, the organ OF Gsmbetts,
strongly attacks the constitution of the
Cabinet. The writer says it is unac-
ceptable and in contradiction to a reso-
luton adopted by the Republican Union
recently at Versailles. to the effect that
they would only support a Homogeneous
Cabinet, which is firmly resolved to adj
minister the laws in a thoroughly repub-
lican sense, conformably to the spirit Of
the Constitution aud the will Of the ma
ton. This Cabinet is not q ministry Of
the majority but Of q coterie. The time
for such arrangement is past. 1t must
be understood that a grave error has
been committed and hat the ministerial
combination violated one of the essential
rules Of parliamentary government.
The Rappel and Evement also express
dissatisfaction with the new ministry.
Journals Of other politics generally ap-
prove the selections.

THE Republicans affect to be greatly
surprised at the Belknsp developments.
1t might be inferred hat they never read
the papers, for the New York Tribune's
Washington special correspondent made
the charge over four years ago hal there
was a corrupt arrangement at Fort Sill
whereby Marsh nominally held the place
Of post trader, and was enabled TO live
in New York and thrive on an immense
income. The charge was sustained by
nearly all the details that have since
come cut except those directly implicit
ing the Secretary Of War. The Repub-
licans read this at the time, for the
Tribune was one Of the leading papers,
but they made no effort to Investigate
the matter. 1t was and has been noto.
rious at Fort Sill for years. Yet they
are greatly surprised when a Democratic
House makes official assertion Of the
fact.

Mr.. BYRD DOUGLASS, Of Nashville, a
large holder of Tennessee bonds, who has
been in consultation with various other
holders Of said bonds in New York and
Europe, has written q letter to Governor
Porter proposing that all the Tennessee
bonds be listed and taxed the same as
other personal property, provided the
State will give some guarantee OF paying
interest within a given time, say by
January, 1877. Governor Porter re-
plies; II give it as my opinion that if
holders of the bonds of Tennessee gen.
orally would come forward in the spirit
manifested by yourself, and agree that
the bonds held by them should be taxed
BY the State at the same rate imposed
on any other personal property, that it
would do o toward bringing about a

payers and the holders OF our securities

shall assume the form Of a propo-
