BELA NAP.

Articles Of impeachment against
ex-Secretary Belknap were presented
Thursday by the judiciary Commit.
tee Of the House. They are FIVE in
number, and are worded in the
usual legal phraseology, one being
largely a repetition Of the other, aud
ara based solely upon his corrupt
practices in connection with the
Fort Sill leadership. The articles
were adopted by the House Monday,
and this fact was announced to the
Senate the same day. Tuesday they
were formally presented to the SEN
ate by the Boar.l Of Managers Of the
House. 1t i, SAID that Belknap s
counsel will probably move for dis
missal Of the case on the ground that
the Senate has no jurisdiction, and
this will be extensively argued be-
tween the managers on the part o
the House and Belknap's attorneys
who will probably be Montgomery
Blair, ex-senator Carpenter, and Gen
Butler. The House will not be ir

secretly investigate as to Belknap's
guilt or innocence, and to spy out
the doings of Prosecuting Attorney
Dyer in order to find out whether
the prosecution Of the President's
Private Secretary was malicious or
not; that Babcock and his counsel
endeavored to prevail upon him to
steal all the damaging evidence and
destroy it; that he agreed to do
this, and then decided not to and dis

out that Bell is frst-class fraud

POOR WORK IN A POOR BUSINESS.

The Normal Schools receive all the
school books they use free OF charge. This
is cunning trick Of the publishers. When
the pupils 20 out to teach they introduce
the books they have been accustomed to !
And thus the Normal schools are made
cunning inStrumentaliues Of the publish
ing houses.-Ant.- Monopolist.
We cannot believe that Mr.. Don-
nelly would willfully misstate facts,
but in his ill-grounded warfare
against the Normal Schools he is
compelled to accept and make use of
other peoples misstatements or say
nothing. The above is a sample Of
the best he has to offer in opposition
to these schools, and the truth in re-
gard to what he says is Is follows:
l. The Normal Schools do not re.
ceive all the text books they use free
Of charga-at least the St. Cloud
school docs not. The pupils are re-
quired to purchase their own text
books. The circulars Of the school
have stated explicitly that "neither
text books nor stationery" would be
furnished.
2. When the pupils 90 out to
teach they do not Introduce the
books they have been accustomed
to- They have nothing to do with
introducing the books they have
been accustomed to or any other
books.
