In the impeachment case OF Belknnp
the first question before the Senate will
be that Of jurisdiction, On this point q
variety Of opinions are held by Semi
tors, and the subject is regarded ns one
Of extreme Importance und delicacy.
Many Senators seem to hold somo
donbts as to the Jurisdiction, particu-
larly III view OF the pernicious results
thRt might arise thercfrom. It is stated
that should it be decided that the Sem
ate has jurisdiction, despite the rcsignn-
tlon OF the alleged offender, it would
then be possible to arrnign him in tho
House, no matter how long ngo tho al
legged offense was committed. The
sanle could be done as regards the
present officers Of the Government in
case Of change in Congress-. 1t is
stated that in the event Of jurisdiction
being dcliberated upon in Tho alIirma-
tive, it would be possible to arr,ign and
iinpcach the President upon simply
political motives. The determination
Of Jurisdiction, IL, therefore, looked
upon with deep interest. 80 "a

The bill carrying into effect the Unw-
| aiian treaty il now considered certain TO
pass by largo majority, since the
strong speeches by Garfield and others
sustaining tho treaty policy. ..'g
Tho prospects Of tho silver currency
bill nre still considered doubtful. The
Senate will probably adopt the amend
Tenis reported by the Finance com-
mittce, but they will encounter lively
opposition in tho House even II the
SENATE sends the bill there, which many
seriously doubt.
Senator Jones' argument before the
finnnco committee was very effertual;
| his contemplated speech md interest
ing facts In support Of his general pro-
position may strengthen tho bill. Ho
will show conclusiyely that tho worlds
silver production has decreased instead
OF augmented, and cites wonderful
collection Of acknowledged authorities
to show that iujudiciuus taxation and
not over production has produced tho
apparent silver glut. No one who con-
verses with him fails to be impressed
by his exhaustive explanation Of this
whole subject. ... D..
