Remarks of Mr. Hoar.

Mr.. Hoar, in reference 10 casual remark of
some members as to this being political ques-
ton, entirely dsclaimed and repudiated such
an idea. On the point of the impeachability of
a person not in Office he referred to the case of
Mr.. Wittemore of s. c., in which the House
had determined that formal repuncation of
an office terminated the office, and that any
American citizen could lay down an office held
by him without any acceptance of his resigna-
ton. Judge Story had laid down the doctrine
that it could not be done in England, but there
any citizen could be impeached, and therefore
the English cases of Warren Hastings and
Lord Bacon did not apply, In America no
man could be impeached but civil officer, and
when he ceased to be civil officer he ceased
to be within the literal description of the con-
stitution in this country. The only judgment
that could be rendered in an impeachment case
was removal from Office and future disqualih-
cation from holding office, but by the statutes a
person guilty of such offences could be indicted,
tried and sentenced by criminal courts of the
country. He protested against hot haste In
this matter without having the testimony
printed. He thought such haste unworthy of
this grave question, and il he stood alone ne
would still stand here to say So.
Mr.. Blackburn, another member OF the com
mittee, expressed his satisfaction that the re-
port which had been read by his colleague, ely
mel, showed to the world that nothing had been
left BY the committee to shield and shelter from
dishonor every person except the one whom it
and report upon.
This is all received up to the time of going
to press.]

HIS IMPEACHMENT MOVED In

HIS WIFE AN ACCOMPLICE IN HIS
CRIME.
Great Ast0nishment at Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The report of the
testimony duplicating Secretary Belknap in the
sale of the office of post trader at Fort Sill,
is the theme of comment everywhere in this
this city to-day. Secretary Belknap has re-
signed 1t is stated at the White House that
the resignation was promptly accepted but the
exact words of the President in accepting it
are not given. Gen. Belknap has remained at
his resi' ence to-day and has not visited the war
department. He says there are many compile
cations to be explained to the committee, and
he has therefore requested to be allowed
to make q statement before it.
The discovery of this Circumstance in Gen.
Belknap's administration of the war depart
ment occasions the most intense surprise and
the cabinet officers and officers of all grades
declare their absolute establishment Through
out the city to-day there has been talk regard
ing the subject of the impeachment OF the ex-
Secretary for corruption, and opinions are d.
vided even among cabinet officers and others as
to whether that can be had after the offender is
ont of Office. The preponderance of opinion,
however, is that it could be. The Attorney
General said in conversation that he was rot
prepared to give an opinion, (though it has not
been officially asked for) until after the exam
ination. Several friends of Belknap called
upon him to day, but he had nothing to say ex-
cept that he desired to make a statement before
the committee.
There are already rumors as to the appoint
ment of a successor, but nothing is said about
it at the White House.
