TO the RAZOR Of The Trtbane.
SIR; On "a previous occasion an attempt was
made To state some Of the grounds which the jur'c
ton Of the Mr. Bclknaps case Is denied: and II
may not be amss 10 consider the legal arguments

what weight they are entitled These arguments may
perhaps be reduced to two:
First: The English are cited In favor OF such
doctrine.

and 10 admit that he can remove offending Official
from the Jurisdiction OF by accepting his resig
nation before Impeachment be brought, would render
this provision nugatOry.
Tho first of these propositions may be disposed OF
shortly. The English have no application tn the
matter In hand because the English law OF impeachment
has no resemblance in this respect to the American In
England the Lords sitting court OF impeachment

broadest jurisdiction Any British subject may be i'm

Manesty It is absurd to argue that because the Lords
under "A constitution like this try certain cases. that
therefore our Senate with Its extremely restricted Jurs

worse than valueless-they only serve to mslead

ST LOUIS, April 1.-THE Times has an
interview with Captain Joseph LaBarge,
an old and well-known steamboat man in
which LaBarge is represented as stating
that some time ago he transported freight
on the Upper Mississippi river for the
government, the bill for which amounted to
81, 400. The account was approved by
Colonel Eaton, the Quartermaster, and
sent to Washington, with LaBarge's re-
ceipt in full attached Shortly afterwards,
LrBarge received letter from General
Meigs, saying that his account was dis
allowed. subsequently, General John
Mcdonald called on LaBarge, and asked
him what he would give to have the
account collected and said he
would collect 1t for half its amount.
LaBarge agreed TO this, and in few days
Mcdonald called again aud paid him 500.
On another occasion LaBarge sent an
account to Washington for $3.50, and re
ceiyed word in reply; Take half or moth
ing" LaBarge wrote to Senator Bogy
about the matter asking him to look into
it for him, and Bogy replied, advising him
to take what he could get
