The Andrew County Republican. [volume] (Savannah, Mo.) 1871-1876, 1876-03-10

The startling intelligence was telc-
graphed from Washington, on the I'd,
that the House Committee on Expendi-
lures in the War Department had Sc
cured indisputable evidence of the most
gross corruption in the administration
of his office by Secretary Belknap. Mr..
Caleb P. Marsh testified before the COM
mittee, that in consideration Of his ar-
pointment to the position of post-tradcr
ut Fort Sill he had paid to Secretary
Belknap's wife the sum of $4,000 in
cash, and to the Secretary per-
sonally $4,000 annually since
his appointment, or an aggregate
amount of $4,000. 1t was further
stated that Secretary Belknap did not
deny the truth of the statement, and that
he had at once rendered his resignation
to the President, which had been accept
ed. On the same day, in the House, MI.
Clymer, of the committee named,
formally presented a resolution of i'm
parchment against William w. Belknap,
late Secretary of War, for high crimes
and misdemeanors, which resolution
was adopted by a unanimous vote.

MG. JAMES Z. LYON, OF Racine, Wis,
one of the original ownoTso of the property
subsequently known as the Emma Mine,
has testified at great length before the
Congressional Committee concerning
the means by which the stock of that
company was put upon the London
market. According to his statement
Albert Grant, the notorious English
stock manipulation, framed the pros
pectus of the company in Lon
don, and received 100000 for
his assistance in working up the
scheme, for which he secured the pow
erful influence Of the London Times and
other influential journals. Ex-senator
Stewart of Nevada and Trenor w. Park
were the American representatives of
the mine in England, and their repre-
sensations as to the value Of the prop
erty were backed by a report from Prof.
Silliman, who had made, a personal cx-
animation of the mine, and who stated
that ore to the amount of S3,500,0 900 had
already been emovedtherefrom and that
much more remained. The banking
house Of Jay Cooke, McCulloch g. Co.
was paid $4,000 for the use of its
name, and Gen. Schenck, American
Minister to England, was presented
with 500 shares of stock at $40 a share
for the use of his name as Director
Prof. Silliman received about $4,000
for his report.

TIE special correspondent of the
Kansas City Times writes as follows
from Custer City, Dakota: "The mines
in this vicinity are mythical. None are
being worked, although the weather is
open and mild. Every thing looks
like this business was a gigan-
tic fraud, and the people
who are disguised are many. There is
an abundance of timber, snow, and log
cabins, but no gold or water. No min

We give these gentlemen the benefit
of our columns to make this denial, rs
their organ, the Journal, does not reach
the people outside of town. In reply
to this we have only to say: l. That
two witnesses agree in making the state
ment. 2. That they made the state
ment to different persons, apparently
without any collusion. 3. That a prom
inent citizen took down the names of
the Ring candidates, as selected at tho
conference mentioned, and that when
the Convention was held weeks after
wards, all the ''slate" candidates except
the one for Sheriff were nominated.
But We mentioned this. little Ring
caucus, at which there ~as not quite
a quorum of the Ring present and
which was only one Of many similar
conferences, as one of the many proofs
that there is a Ring. Even if the above
denial were true, there would be 4
hundred other proofs. The Ring per-
vades everything and grasps at every
thing with it's paralyzing hand. The

THE RED PAR1SITE

Much has been said each year about
the red parasite which accompanies the
grassllopper, and we have heretofore
taken little stock in statements that
they were destroying the eggs. But
there is no doubt that they are doing
effectual work this year. In many
places the ground is almost red with
them and scarcely agrasshopper COCOON
can he found that is sound. In Wor-
thington and the immediate vicinity
they are doing most effectual work, and
we hear the same from other parts of
the county. They seem to hatch in the
cocoon, being of different sizes, and
they eat voraciously. Under tho lens,
they appear about the size Of i house
fly and are clothed in red plush of ex-
ceedingly beautiful texture and color.
