The following is given as the origin
of the Belknap investigation : While
searching for a house for his family
in Washington, lastDecember Hon.
b. b. Lewis, of Alabama, was refer
red to G. 0. Armes, a real estate
agent in that city. During their
search for the house Mr.. Armes, in
conversation, stated to Mr.. Lewis
that he had formerly belonged to the
army, but was dismissed through the
ennIity of Belknap, and that if he
had the assistance of a member of
Congress he would in sixty days de-
velop facts which would force Belk-
nap to resign. Lewis rendered his
assistance and they subsequently had
several interviews. Lewis being i'm
pressed, sought the advice of Ran
dali, who advised that the facts be
brought before Clymer, chairman of
the committee on expenditures in the
War Department. Lewis and Arrnes
saw Clymer, to whom Armes gave a
list of witnesses, including Marsh.
Afterwards, Clymer thought Armes
was acting in bad filth, as the Secre-
tary said Arrnes had proposed that
if he was restored to the army, and
certain other conditions complied
with, he would drop the matter.
Lewis said if Armes was seeking on
ly to levy blackmail, of course they
would have nothing to do with it,
but advised that as Armes had fur
nished the names Of witnesses, that
they be called and examined, which
was done.

GENERAL BELKNAp's DOWNFALL.

Like a thunderbolt from n clear
sky did the report of Gen. Belknap's
resignation under serious charges,
fall upon the country, yesterday.
Secretary Belknap, although Cab
met officer, and formerly a general
in the army, was not, and I've has
been a prominent leader of the Re-
publican party of this country. still
his position as head OF the War De-
partment, and his prominent candi-
dacy for the U. S. Senatorship, in
Iowa, recently, have brought him
from comparative o~bscurity into ma
tional renown. His sudden retire
ment from public life, and from n
high official station, under the most
damaging accusation, proves him to
be guilty of the worst and the i'm
Parchment that is to follow, will I'M
doubleday assign him to private life
and public disgrace forever, MS he
richly deserves. Thus let all public
officers who become derelict to their
duties and who corruptly use their
station for private gain be remanded
to their proper stations in life. where
they cannot disgrace their country,
this nation and themselves.
All great and successful political or
ganlzations like the Republican par
ty, have gathered to their, ranks
many men who have adhered to
them more to secure their own per-
sonal interests than in aid of their
patriotic objects. This class of polit-
ical Adventures has succeeded in
making itself prominent in various
ways when the party vas engaged
in a life and death struggle with
traitors, and when, on the other
hand, it labored TO maintain the ma
tional credit, there were men in the
Republican party constantly IMPAIR
ing its vital forcc by acts of personal
corruption, which had no connection
with our organization. but for which
the latter was held responsible, and
male scandalous abroad for prostitu-
ton in politics, which it did not de-
serve.
