EVIDENCE FATAL 10 GEN. DELKSAP-FACTs T1Af
EAYR BEEN PROVED - CONFIDENCE or The
PRESIDENT IN TIE EX-sECRErARY's INNOCENCE.
IBY TsLEeRAPH TO TIE rRIBUNEI
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The impeachment trial
goes forward with unexpected yigOr. fact due ea-
tlrely to rhe managers and the superior manage
ment of Mr.. Mcmahon of Ohio, who leads the casa
on behalf of the House. The trial it stands is
mistakably fatal to Gen. Belknlp. The appoint
ment OF Mr.. Marsh, the transfer of the appointments
TO Evans, tho receipt of regular instGllments Of
money from Nr. Marsh. beginning after the ap-
poutncnt was made. the Endorsements Of drafts
with full knowledge of the rascaty, charges for
goods made by Evans. the trader at Fort Sill, the
disregard Of complaints. all these have been fully
proved already against the ex-Seoret@ry.
But the telling testimony is not yet IN, ard when
IL comes if reports direct from the Managers are %
be believed there will not be plank for tho do
fense to stand upon. The Managers hope u be able
10 examine Slr Marsh and Mr.. Evans tomorrow, in
which case n direct examination on the part of tina
prosecution will close not later than the day after.
The counsel for Mr. Belknap have thus far sue
ceeded in breaking down or confusing Of ths
wtnesscs, and the presented by the Managers
has been a direct, consecutive, we-knt recital Of
the facts As far as they are developed. The course
of the defense has not yet been demonstrated, bus
the ex-Secretary has said within short time that
be had no fear of conviction. The President few

WASHINGTON.
A LAST EFFORT FOR A REPEAL.


DEMOCRATS HARD AT Work WITH OBSIlNAlh NIKE
BERs or THE BANKING COMMITTEE.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, July 9.-The Democratic imitation
lists of the House had arranged for caucus to be
held last evening for the purpose of deyising means
to secure the repeal of the Resumption act Of 1873,
but for some reason-probably the sudden death Of
Representative f. Y. Parsons-it was postponed.
final attempt will be made tomorrow to secure such
a report from the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency as will enable the House to carry OUT the in
structions of the St. Louis Convention in regard to
this law. As the Committee stands, five are In
favor of the repeal of the Resumption act, viz, s. s.
Cox n. Y; Henry B. Payne, Oliio John Goode, jr.,
Virginia; VIM. s. Raymond, Indiana; and Samuel
d. Burchard, Wisconsin, all Democrats; and six are
opposed to it, as foows Randall l.. Gibson, Lou
isana, and Scott Wike, Illinois, Democrats; and
Washington Townsend, Pennsylvania; John A.
Kasson, Iowa: Benjamin T. Eames, Rhode Island,
and Jay A. HubbcIl, Michigan, Republicans. Some
doubts have been expressed about Mr.. Hubbelps
vote HIS latest public record this subject, made
May /, is against the repeal On that day Mr. Hof
man introduced proposition to repeal the Resump
ton act and moved suspension Of the rules for .
vote on its passage IL failed to be agreed to by
vote Of 1i5 in the affirmative to III in the negative,
twothirds being required and Mr. Hubbell Is one OF
those who voted Nay.
Tho very strongest pressure has been brought to
bear upon sir. Gibson and Mr. Wile since the last
meeting of the Committee, to induce them to vote
with the other representatives of their party on tho
Committee, but thus far wholly without success.
Neither OF them believes that the Resumption act, @
it stands is of the least value, and like other Demo-
Gratis, hold the Republican party responsible for not
perfecting their law when they had the power to DO
so, instead of placing on the statute books an act
which is fraud and a cheat. At the same time,
they believe in the principle of early return &c
specie payments of which the resumption is al
present the only representative in the recent egss
tion of Congress, and oppose its unconditional 70
peal because that would in effect be declaration
on the part of Congress that it proposed TO abandon
the policy of resumption altogether. Mr.. Gibson
and Mr.. Wike would probably agree to a repeal Of
the Resumption act, il at the time there waa
substituted for it a bill which would DO mora
effective in bringing the country to specie payments
The effect of the st. LOUIS resolutions has been to
cause all bot abOut q dozen OF the Democrats, who
came to Washington last December uucOmpromlsing
hard-IEoney Ineu. to surrender to the nhatonlsts.
