Isolation.

Isolation.
We walk alone through all life's various ways.
Through light and darkness, sorrow, joy, and
change;
And greeting each to each, through passing
DAYS.
still we are strange.
We help our dear ones with firm, strong
grasp;
We hesr their voices. look into their eyes;
And yet betwixt US in that clingiug clasp
A distance lies.
We cannot kn0,c their hearts. howe'er we may
Mingle thought. aspiration, hope, and prayer; /;
We cannot reach them. and in vain essay
To enter there.
Still. in each heart Of hearts hidden deep
Lies. never fathomed by its dearest. best;
With closest care our rurest thoughts we keep
And ienderest.
But, blessed thought. we shall not always so
In dark ness and in sadness walk alone:
There comes glorious day when We shall
know
As we are known.

COAL.

Good bituminous coal is found in mex
haustible quantities 200 feet under the city
Of Leayenw5rth. A mine has been in sue
cesslul operation for many years. Over
one hundred hands have been constantly
employed. Coal is now furnished at four
teen cents per bushel, or $3.50 per ton.
Until the strike last Winter, coal was fur
nished at twelve cents per bushel, or So per
ton. The officers of the coal company as
sure us that when the demand INCREASES TO
10000 bushels per day, they can afford to
sell coal for ten cents per bushel, or $3.50
per ton
At this time the average consumption OF
coal is about 1000 bushels per day.
From all the information at our COM
mand, We are OF the opinion that the Leay-
enworth coal mine is the only one in this
part OF the country that has been developed
sufficiently TO demonstrate the extent OF
the supply. Ten years OF experience and
expense in opening up this mine, has fully
demonstrated that the supply is inexhaus-
tihlc, and that coal can be delivered at
this one mine to the amount OF ten, twenty
Or thirty thousand bushels per day for the
rsxt hundred years This being an estab-
l-hed fact, Leavenworth Is absolutely Ger
tain OF being the most favored spot in all
the west for manufacturing purposes.

SECRETARY OF WAR.

The dispatches this morning announce
that Judge Taft, OF Ohio, has been ten
derei the Office of Secretary OF War, and
that the President has sent his name to the
Senate. Judge Taft is a citizen of Cincin
naii, OF irreproachable character, and high
ly respected by the people of Ohio. Las
ftli he was the choice of the Cincinnati
Gazette and other papers for Governor, but
did not receive the nomination. Hi;
speeches during the campaign were strong
forcible arguments in favor OF honest gov
eminent and the election Of the entirt
Republican ticket. The President will be
heartily commended by the whole countr '
for the selection of such men as Dana and
Taft for the positions of Minister to Eng
land and Secretary OF War.

THEY ARE ALL DEMOCRATS.

Belknap was always 4 Democrat-wen'
into the war one, came out one, was pro
iuotsd when one, and was one when he fell
But all feel as bitterly over the disgraccfuj
cause OF that fall as il he had been born
and Lived a Republican. Indeed, every
body ielt bad when the corruption Of Other
leading Democrats was exposed. The
Tweeds, Sweenys, Connollys, Ingersolls
Cardozas, Barnards, Schumakers, Floyd:
and Thompsons. Honest men, whether
Republicans or Democrats, regret the
downfall of any man, no matter 10 what
party he may belong. 1t is a singular
lac; that every Republican thus far dis
covered as guilty OF corruption, has been
al some earlier date 4 Democrat. 1t seems
that the Democratic party IS the place
where they became educated u crime, and
such men joined the Republican party
simply for the purpose of plunder.

MRS. BELKNAP's oFFEEsE.

In the criminal proceedings now being
instituted against the Secretary of War, i.
seems that Mrs. Belknap can hardly es-
cape. The sections of the Law telegraph he'd
from Washington by the correspondents DO
no; cover her case, having reference simply
to officials of the government and those
who offer them brides. There has been a
doubt, therefore, as TO whether the wife OF
the late Secretary has laid herself liable to
criminal prosecution. Section 5,451, how
ever, of the Revised Statutes describes the
ofense of Mrs. Belknap, and fixes the pen
atty therefor in such a way that there
would seem to be little chance for escape
The language is as follows:
Every person who promises, offers. or
gives, or causes, or procures TO be promised,
offered, or given, any money, or other
thing of value, or makes, or tenders any
contract, undertaking, obligation, gratuity,
or security for the payment of money, or
for the delivery or conveyance OF anything
Of value to any officer of the United States
or any person acting for or on behalf Of the
United States, in any official function, un-
der or by authority of any department or
ONCE OF the government thereof,
with intent TO influence his decision or ac-
tion on any question or matter, cause or
proceeding, which may at any time be
pending, or which may by law be brought
before him in his official capacity, or in
his place OF trust or profit, or with intent to
influence him TO commit or aid in COM
nitting, or to collude in or allow any fraud,
or make opportunity for the commission OF
any fraud on the United States, or to in
duce him to do or omit to do any act in
violation OF his lawful duty, shall be
punished as prescribed in the preceding
section.
The punishment referred to is fine in
three times the amount of the bribe, ard
imprisonment not more than three years.
The Language OF the section would seem TO
include Mrs. Belknap's ofense, although
there Is slight chance for technical es-
cape in the wording, as there is also for the |
Secretary himself. If, however, Marsh, the |
witness, shall Reproduced on the trial, there
seems little ground for supposing that she
can avoid indictment and conriction-

Heated Debate in the House on ihe
Belknap Investigation.
The Leavenworth weekly times., 1876-03-09

WASHINGTON, d. C., March Mr.. ely
mer, rising to question Of privilege, sta
ted that a subpoena had been served on him
last evening by the supreme Court Of the
District Of Columbia, sitting az q criminal
court, to appear before that court, and
bring with him all the papers, checks, doc
uments, &C., and to testify in regard to the
charges pending in tina. court against the
late Secretary of War. His Colleagues,
Meser.. Robbins and Blackburn, had been
similarly summoned. He (Clymer) had
appeared before the court, and stated that,
in obedience to the Law, he appeared at it-
bar to obey its order, but, a. a member Of
the committee Of the House, he felt that il
would be to the prejudice Of the highest in
terests OF the country il his colleagues and
himself should be compelled to state what
had transpired in their committee room.
He believed that such course would not
only close the mouths Of
all witnesses, but that in
many cases it would drive them from
the land. He had said furthermore that
while not pleading these privileges as mem
bers of the House, they must nevertheless
protest against being examined, and would
only consent TO be so examined after an
order being made specially to that end by
the court The court had taken time for
and had determined If it
needed their attendance thereafter to send
for them.
Mr.. Blaine asked Mr.. Clymer if the
court had asked or had desired to ask for
any information that was not contained in
the published report and was not matter
Of record and general botoriety. He could
very we'll conceive why the gentleman
from Pennsylvania might not wish
to be called upon in that court
