"Let no guilty man escap" is a
phrase which In the mouth Of Presid-
ent Grant and General
Pierrcpont acquires new meaning.
The President lets the guilty Belknap
resign and accepts his resignation with
sufficient promptltude to deprive the
High Court of Impeachment of its
jurisdiction, if its authority applies
only to person actually in office. The
President and the Attorney General
promptly set at work machinery of
law to prosecute the man Marsh
whose confession has disclosed the
crime of their associate Cabinet otii-
Ger; and straightway Marsh flies
beyond the Canada border, and we are
told from Washington that without his
testimony the House of Representa-
tives will be troubled to make out
their case.
The Preiident and the Attorney
General are screening the guilty, and
soaring away the witnesses to then

BIRDS OF A FEATHER.

Says the Reading Eagle, Belknap was
on intimate terms with Grant; saw him
almost daily, the families of Grant and
Belknap were very intimate, both
going to Long Branch during the het
summer months. Grant being Belk-
maps superior officer, does it not fol-
low that Belknap took Grant for his
example? And do not the admitted
facts prove thatsBelknap in accepting
msney through his wife for post trade
ships, only mere directly followed
Grants example? What was Grants
example in this respect? President
Grant has at his disposal immense
official patronage and this is known by
the most illiterate man in the United
States. Fat offices pay their possessors.
How to get fat offices is the question.
The President received presents from
different persons many of whom he re-
warded with office. Belknap knew
this and following in the lead of Grant
disposed of an office for money and is
now disgraced and ruined. Let the
example of Belknap be warning moi
only to Grant but to every officeholdel
in the land.

Forney on BeIknap.

The vulgar lust for riches is the
hesetting sin of the day ,and this morn
ing the whole country will be startled
by another terrible illustration of its
working and effect. Belknap the SOL
dier, with the simplest manners and
hard fare OF the camp, was a man who
deserved well of his country; Belknap
the honest rural official of Iowa, with
his accounts promptly squared to the
dollar, was contented and honorable
citizen; Belknap the public man of
Washington, is well, let every man
as his ewn sense of honor prompts him,
| finish the sentence.
1t is the old, old story. Avery, de-
partment clerk on salary of couple
of Thousand dollars a year, goes into
brilliant society for few brief years
and to day the crate of the penitentiary
claims him for its own. Belknap, the
secretary, on a salary of IS, 600 lives at
the rate of say $15, 900 to $4,000 and
to day he stands absolutely without a
future the coed record of his sword,
the faithful and meritorious service of
his subordinate official life all blotted
cut in one brief hour. A good name
has been lest, a life has been ruined
anu loI Wudt! IL Is SldrllluE COIL
mentary on our social life that nearly
every case of official corruption de,

ANOTHER sTARTLINo STORY.

THE SPELL.

PRESIDENT AND oRvILLE GRANT UNDER
THE SPELL.
The Philadelphia Times of Monday
prints startling story relative to the
sale of other post traderships in the
West, through the instrumentality of
President Grants brother Orville. 1t
says: "The facts as developed are
these: Some time in the latter part of
June, 1878, Orville Grant met, by ap-
pointment, in this city, A. L. Benne-
fen, dry goods merchant doing busi-
ness at No. 236 Casselberry, now en-
gagged in the real estate business at No
420 Library street. They then agreed
upon sale of q post and went down
TO Long Branch to see President
Grant. Everything wss arranged. An
order was issued by the War Depart
ment removing the post trader at Fort
Stevens, in Dakota Territory, and the
trader at another post in the same Ter.
litory, the name of which could moi
yet be ascertained, and the appoint
ment in their place for the same posi-
tion at both posts, of A. l.. Bonnefon,
Jr., "a son of Bonafon, Sr. The appoint
ment of the younger Bonnafon was, in
effect, simply that Of his father, Mr..
Casselberry and Orville Grant, who, in
secret partnership, were the real
owners of the positions, the agreement
being that Casselberry and Bonnafon,
Sr, should furnish the capital neces-
sary to carry on the business and con.
duct it, and Orville Grant receive fol
his influence in obtaining the trader.

Fifty Cent Note or Nothing.
HOW TO GET INTO TIE CENTENNIAL
EXHIBITION.

The managers of the Centennial
Exposition have agleed that the price
of admission to the show shall be fifty
cents, and that half dollar is TO be paid
with fifty cent note, and nothing
else. Ten five cent pieces, two twenty
five cent notes, or five ten cent notes
will not secure your admission, any
more than will one dollar note admit
two or two dollar note four.
One of the first objections urged
against this was that it would create
corner in so cent notes, but this is to
be obviated by the fact that there will
he thirteen branches of the Centennial
National Bank, one at each entrance,
where your loose change will be con-
verted into 50 cent notes.
Persons entering will be obliged TO
go in single file, the adults through
one gate, children through another.
AS each one enters their entrance is
registered by turn-stile they pass.
There will be receivers at the turn
stile who will decide whether the notes
rendered for admission are good or
bad, and then drop them into box.
AS each note goes into the box it will
register 1t self, and at night it is ex-
pected that the stile and note box regis
tiers will agree; if not the receiver will
be denounced as crooked. There will
also be an entrance for those who hold
complimentary tickets, and employees.
The singular mode of paying for ad
mission has created considerable COM
ment, but the plan has been tried in
other countries, at worlds fairs, and is
said to have succeeded admirably
There will be no trouble about nifty
cent notes, as there will be plenty of
them. The admission paid at the gate
will entitle a person to visit all the
buildings without additional cost.

A New Peninsula Railroad Con-
neciion,

The Ellkton Md. Democrat states
that the recent agitation of railroad
connection between Elkton and Mid
dletown, Del. has assumed such shape
that in little while the thing will be
accomplished. 1t says:
"Men of capital, experience and en-
terprise have taken hold of it, and
have not only the will but the way
a bill has been prepared and forward
ed to the Legislature providing for the
reenactmet of a law passed in 1867, i'll
cooperating the Elkton and Delaware
Junction Railroad Company, which
conferred the power to lay off and
, construct road not exceeding one
hundred feet in width, from point
uot more than three.fourths of n mile
from the town of Elkton, to the boun-
Diary line between Delaware and Mary
land, so as to connect with arailroad
to be built from either the Delaware
railroad or the New Castle and French
town railroad, to the said State line,
and also conferred other privileges
ample for all purposes. The corpora
tors mentioned in the revived act arc

of Baltimore. A glance at these names
will not only show that there Is abun
dant capital representing the enter
prise, but also that the Philadelphia
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
Company favor it. Messrs. Tome
Pratt, Donaldson, Shoemaker unt
Whitridge are at present, directors il
that company; Mr.. Latrobe is an emf
nent civil engineer, also connected
with or frequently employed by tn
company, and Messrs. Donaldson ant
Jones are among its regularly retained
legal advisers. We are further advised
however, that the Philadelphia, viii
mingten and Baltimore Company no
only favar this measure, but deem it
early construction an absolute neces
sity, in order to secure to the peninsu
Ia equal market facilities to Philadel
phia and Baltimore, and to that cnt
will endorse bonds of sufficient amour
to effect the completion of the road
The promoters of this work do no
seek State aid and will not accept it
They propose to build the road as
paying investment, and have no doub
that it will pay from the start. Ther
is well-founded hope that anothe
iyear will witness the extension of tn
straight line from Dover through Mic
dletown to Elkton, of the trunk line @
