Ok Monday silver, which not long
since was worth 462d an ounce in Lon
don, quoted 525 J; the advance is great,
and one regult IS that on that day, if the
silver dollar seosntly proposed by the

silver goes on, and the siIve; change we

The Jurisdiction Of the Senate in

From The New York Herald lightning Ell

The decision of the S nate that il
has jurisdiction in Belkaaps case
may moi perhaps have Is iar-reaehins
conseq aences As IN gal seem to follow.
1t settles the question that person
out of office may be impcached aud
tried, but 1t does not decide that no
lapse of time can operate AS bar.
Secretary Belknap resigned 10 escape
impeachment, which was imminent
at the time he offered his resignation,
This is very much as if he bad re-
signed after articles of Impeachment
had been found, or had resigned
during trial 10y the Senate. Ii
stands to reason that a culprit should
not be permitted 10 slip his neck out
Of the moose when ii is beginning 10
tighten upoa him. But it does not
thence follow tina, persons who have
long been out Of office by the eN-
piration OF their terms.or by removal,
or bv designations having no refer
ence TO impeachment proceedings,
would come under the jurisdiction of
the Senate. II any such case-liHe
the impeachment OF Williams or
Delano, or the impeachment OF the
secession members OF President Bu-
chanan's Cabinet-should come up,
the question Of jurisdiction would be
debated anew, and It's probable that
claim TO jurisdiction would he re-
linquished. Belknap's resignation
TO avoid impeachment briags his
case within the rule, or at least very
close tn the rule, that an officer can
not escape by resigning while pro-
ceedings are pending against him.
The decision o. the Senate must be
interpreted with reference TO the I'M
mediate case before il.
The opinion that those Senators
who voted against jurisdiction will
necessarily vote for acqaittal in the
trial is quite unwarrantea. Mr.. Bel
knap's guilt or innocence must bc
decided on the evidence as if they
had voted the other Way ON the pre-
liminary question. They are in the
position Of = jury which must accept
the decision OF the court on points of
law. They are bound TO surrender
their individual opinion oE the point
of jurisdiction and to give their votes
on the trial precisely as they would
If no question of jurisdiction had
been raised.

On last Saturday night all the

piled with slips, and became report
ers. An incident occurred in jacob
street that illustrates the value OF
Commissioner Ehrharit's pet plan to
increase the morale of the force.
Sergeant Kelly, Roundsaaan Murphy
and and the officer on post met under
a gaslight about ten p. NJ, and whip
ping out their slips and pencils, be-
ran work. A messenger hurriedly
approached and breathlcssly ex-
claimed:
"Hurry up officers! Awoman is
being murdered at No. l Jacob
street"
Cant help it." said Sergeant
Kelly, as he readiusted his spectacles
and continued writing, 'they can
dismiss US for not keeping up our
slips, but they cant hurt US tor NOT

"All right, my friend said the
faithful Kelly; we'se doin' our duty
sorry she's killed; but the slips the
slips. You see how it is yourself; we
must make our entriesl" The three
officers finished their entries aud pro-
ceeded to investigate tue cases. The
woman, Annie Wise, aged sixty five
years, had accidentally fallen from
the third floor of No. II Jacob street
upon shed, and WAS so severely IN
iursd that Roundsman Murphy sent
her TO the hospital. The blotter OF
the Fourth precinct confirms the
record, but no mention of kellys
