THE entire country was shocked last |
week, Thursday, by the announcement
that Secretary of War Belknap had been
guilty of the grossest Irregularities in Of |
flee, and that Congress bad instituted i'm /
parchment proceedings against him.
The crimes charged against him are that |
his wife has been selling offices for mon
ey. and that he was cognizanI of the fact |
and profited by the money. That there |
should be dishonest men found in subor-
dinate positions under the government, |
is not surprising, but that one OF the hon.
ored and trusted ministers of the Cabinet
should thus disgrace himself, shocks the
entire nation. He has resigned his posi-
ton. which has been accepted by the
President. Mr.. Belknap will undoubt-
& lly be punished for his m;sdemeanors.
