Look here, young woman, suspend"

girl in Montreal went home from the ball
the other night, anu when she went to
undress she found she had been laced SO
tightly that she couldn't get herself
loose. Overcome by terror and the ter
rIble oonstraint of the what you may
call it, the thing you twist it up with,
she tainted before she could Cry for help.
And when they found her, she was the
deadest girl you ever read about. Now

The Chicago Pension Agency.
How Miss Sweet Was Fleeced by Gen.
BabcOck's Father in.LaW.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-Miss Ada G.. Sweet,
pension agent at Chicago, testified this morn
ing she was an applicant for the pension agen-
cy, and in consideration of receiving the APP
polnttment agreed sedo to pay David Blakely,, the
pension agent, $2100, and was directed by him
TO pay the money over to B. P. Campbell, then
and now U. S. marshal for that district When
she had paid the 5000 she notified Blakely
and Campbell that she had performed her part
of the contract, but Campbell told her he had
note against Blakely for $4,000 and she was to
pay the whole OF that note. Campbell is Gen.
Babcock's father-in-law Considerable cores
pondence passed between all the parties on the
subject. Blakely was also defaulter as
pension agent in $500. When he turned the
office over to Miss Sweet he turned over $37, 900
and induced her to give him a receipt for $40
600 to cover up his deficit, and promised to at
tend to 1T in few weeks. He did not do so
and when the office was visited by an official
from the pension office, Miss Sweet told him
the whole story.
The agent told her he would delay an exam
ination of her Office until he was on his return
trip, so as to allow some further time for pay
ing his deficit One day after the Minnesota
election George Baker, a Missouri commission
er of pensions, and Blakely came into her office
and demanded that the $4,000 deficit be paid
that day, and charged it upon her as her own
deficit She went to Campbell and between
them the amount was raised and paid
Blakely and commissioner Baker were great
friends and Baker knew of the arrangement
which she made with Bakely When the
President found out she was paying money for
her appointment he notified her that its con-
nnuance would be sufficient cause for removal.
This was after she had paid the $2100. She
paid so much on that amount that So far she
had received no benefit from her appointment
as pension agent, but had run in debt and was
still behind about $4,000. Baker is is now Sur
veyor General for Minnesota and Blakely is
publishing paper somewhere in that vicinity.

BELKNAP'S IMPEACHMENT.
Arguments by Var. K mott and j udye Biacl

Arguments by Mar. Knott and Judge Black
WASHINGTON, May SIN the impeachment
proceedings today Manager Knott resumed his
argument commenced on Friday and said he
would be as brief as possible. Even if in per-
feet health he did not feel that he was speak
ing for posterity, and consequently he was un.
der no temptation to make extended remarks
He argued and quoted from Judge Story to
show that impeachment was designed to pre-
tect the purity and maintain the integrity of
officials, particularly those not Immediately uu.
der the control of the people at the polls. The
great object OF impeachment was to exhibit a
conspicuous eternal example to prevent the &C.
currence of like offences in the future. The
design was not simply to harass, to prosecute,
TO dlsqualify merely for the sake of vengeance,
but it was that other officials, in view of his
punishment might be warned from yielding to
temptation under similar circumstances, and
might feel that il they should fall, they would
fall like Lucifer never to rise again.
Mr.. Knott continued: "The trainers of the
Constitution were men with heads on their shoul-
ders and if they had intended that no man
should be impeached unless he were in office at
the time they would have said that. The very
fact that they omitted to make this restriction
was conclusive that they did not intend i'm
parchment should be so restricted When
words were SO plain that their meaning could
not be mistaken, all Interpretation was to be es-
chewed. There was nothing dubious in the
parchment; nothing uncertain about it, roth
ing connected with 1t that the wayfaring man,
though fool, might be mistaken about"
Mr.. Knott maintained that the doctrine con-
tended for BY defence that guilty can deprive
the House Of its prerogatives to accuse or the
Senate of its jurisdiction to try an impeach-
ment, was simply to render the provision of the
Constitution relating to that subject a ridicu-
lous absurdty and to stultfy the trainers of
that instrument
Mr.. Knott concluded at 1.30, when Judge
Black began the closing argument for the &C.
cused.
At clock the Senate took a recess for %
minutes
Judge Black concluded his argument about 5
o'clock, when, on motion of Mr. Edmunds the
galleries were cleared and the Senate went into
secret session.
At o'clock the doors were reopened and the
chair announced that the Senate had agreed
upon two orders which were read, as follows
Ordered That until further notice the at
tendance before the Senate of the manager.
and the respondent will not be requested
Ordered, That when the Senate, sitting fo
impeachment, adjourn it be to Monday next a
