lBy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON, March G-'The state Of public feel
ing in Washington since tine exposure of the Beknap
scandal is different from that which has ever pre-
vailed here before since the Republican party
came into power. On former occasions,
when a Government official has been de-
tected in fraudulent practices, the prevalent
feeling which has found expression has been that
il was an exceptional ease and that the great body
of public officers was composed of honest men. The
arrest Of Paymaster Hodge for the ENLIGHTENMENT of
public funds for instance did not make people hero
any the more ready than before to believe that
other paymastcrs were dishonest. Now the air
~ full of mmors affecting almost every
public men IN high position, aud the strange thing
about it is that these rumors seem 10 be generally
credited even by Republicans who have heretofore
refused to believe any of the current scandals OF the
day. For example, while il ~ true that week
ago many Of the Democrats believed that evidence
would be secured to connect Secretary Robson with
illegal and dishonest practices IN the Navy Depart
ment, and few Republicans had their suspi-
cions that that Department was not con-
Quoted in the most economical and honest
manner yet the great body Of the Republican
party was not slow in coming to the defense Of
Secretary Robson whenever his administration
was assailed either in public in private But
since the disgrace Of Secretary Beknap the rumors
ard reports in regard 10 the Navy Department
which have been tenfold more numerous than be-
fore, seem to be very generally believed although
il is a fact that Of the Committees of lnyesi-
CATION have thus far been able 10 secure any tesi-
mony in regard To that Department Of very startling
character. The substance of what they have been
able To learn has been reported from day TO day in
the Washington dispatches 10 THE TRIBUNE. The
same remark is true, IN less degree, IN
regard to almost every other department
of the Government. People in Washington
seem to be expecting every hour that
some rev rascaty will be uncovered, that some
new Cabinet Minister Will be detected in fraudulent
practices and that some impeachment trial will
be set on foot The disposition TO believe in every
scandal of which there ~ Tumor ailoat IA now a.

each ensuing election, and usually knows some other
man who wants TO be bought. IL cannot oe long
before the party managers on both sides will be
obliged to agree to pay no more money for buying
votes-not from any of moral principle, but
because the system is becoming frightfully expen-

venture an opinion as to the probable effect of the

came out The National House of Representatives
did the business for them, with Benjamin Hills
speech and the Clerk of the Ways and Means. Ex-
tracts from the speech and THE TRIBUNE editorials
on HambletOn have been printed in pamphlet and
scattered broadcast over the State. Whether the
Democrats will now retrieve themselves, with the
great leverage afforded by the Beknap fraud, cam
not yet be predicted. II the politics of New-Hamp-
shire were not SO dreadfuy demoralized the ques-
tion could be answered without hesitation.

THE RAILROAD CLAIM SCANDAL.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.I

WASHINGTON March 0.-There Is good deal OF
gossip here TO the effect that either Mr. Marsh or his
wife has some information in regard to the 100000
claim of the Kentucky Central Railroad which Dir.
Beknap ordered paid after it had been rejected by
three of his predecessors, his present wife
beng dlsgracefully mixed up in it; and this
fact makes the absence of Mr.. Marsh more
10 be regretted. Among members of the
Committee there is no doubt that Mrs. Bower, the
present Mrs. Aelknap or somebody for her. received
S25 900 at least for influence in the case. George
II. Pendleton, whose name is used, it Is said, not
without reason, in connection with the case, has
autographed an indignat denial, and demand that
he be summoned. He will be given an opportunity
10 tell all he knows IL he exercises little patience.

The Committee on the Judiciary this afternoon
completed the Belknap articles Of impeachment.
They are 20 in number. Some days may elapse
before the articles shall be finally acted upon and

Belknap with having violated Section 1,7S1 of the
Revised Statutes the penalty for which is imprson-
mcnt for not more than two years, and fine of not
more than $4,000.
At midnight tonight everything is very quiet IN
the vicinity of Gen. Belknap's residence. Police
officers are on duty guarding the house in which lie
is a prisoner. One officer is stationed within
the hall; another IL in front Of the
house. and another in the rear OF the
premises. The friends of the ex-Secretary
declare that he has never for moment fostered the
idea of flight. Tomorrow he will be. formally ar
rested by Major Richards Chief of Police. Personal

that he appears somewhat more cheerful than he

A SAVING FUND FOR SAVINGS BANKS.
sUPERIN TENDENT T. LIS TO RECOMMEND THIS OLD
EXPEDIENT-us GREAT ADVANTAGE TO ALL

SAVING FUND FOR SAVINGS BANKS.
SUPERINTENDENT ELS To RECOMMEND THIS OLD
EXPEDIENT-Us GREAT ADVANTAGE TO ALL
DEFosITORs.
ALBANY, March 6.-Among the more important
recommendations of Superintendent Ellis's report
upon the savings banks which VIII reach the Lcgs-
lature in about ten days, will be one for the estab
iishment Of a safety fund, from which may be made
good any loss which may result to depositOrs from
the failure of a savings bank. similar expedient
was adopted under the old system Of State
banks, when a tax of quarter of
one per cent was levied on the circulation
Of the banks which acted as safety fund to secure
the circulation and redeem outstanding notes in
case of the failure Of bank and like fund s now
IN being which protects the policy holders OF in
snrance companies. Superintendent Ellis believes
that a small tax upon the surplus or the total
resources of each bank paid into the Bank Depart
ment at Albany, would soon accumulate fund
sufficient TO indemnify depOsitors in cases of failure
and loss. The annual reduction of the fund
by bank failures would be very small, and
the loss of each depostOr in the State
infinitesima On The other hand, in return for this
slight outlay, each depositor would feel that the
State stood behind his bank and feeling thus secure
from loss rams and pancs would be less frequent,
and the popular confidence in all savings institutions
cr,at and small would be greatly enhanced The
chief opposition To this suggestion may be expected
from the stronger banks, who object TO paying
money To strengthen weaker banks, but IL is be-
lieyed that the strength and soldity such an expe
dent would give to the system would compensate
even the strongest banks for their outlay.

not imbecIlity, stronger term, of the Chair
man of their own Committee, who is of the lead
of the party. The Republicans seem disposed to
press the fact TO the disadvantage of the Democrats
the so from the fact that the Republican mem
bers on the Committee urged that Mr.. Marsh be de-
tanned until the against Mr.. Belknap should be
disposed of.
At the meeting of the Committee in the morning
of the day Mr.. Marsh left Washington it was pro-
posed by some member that the witness be dis
charged, no longer necessary 10 the To this
proposition Mr.. Bass, Republican, objected. He
thought witness should not be discharged until the
case is ended. No vote of the Committee was taken,
and the subject was dropped or was left undsposed
Of On that day Mr.. Clymer, the Chairman of the
Committee told the witness that he was no longer
required, and he signed Mr.. Marshs discharge,
which enabled him TO draw his travelling expenses
from New-York and return, and his per diem while
in attendance upon the Committee. Nobody imputes
improper motives to Mr.. Clymer, but his course, as
the weakness of the case accOuntpf the absence
of Marsh becomes more and more apparent is con-
demned in the severest terms, particularly by the
Democrats, who lose so much ectat by this fool
sh act of a good-natured man.
Mr. Page of California, Republican, dis
posed to take advantage of the to-day 10 make
what capital was possible. He drew resolution
calling for information as TO why the witness was
permitted to go; but the Democrats nconsideTately
refused to allow him tho floor He vainly appealed
to Mr.. Cox and Mr.. Kerr in the Chair but he could
not be recognized
