the Republican majority will have the
choice of rejecting it, and taking the con-
sequences Of such course; or of passing
it, and thus cutting off the supplies of
money which are necessary to keep their
party in power. If there had been such a
law as this, the money used successfully
in the last election in New Hampshire
could not have been obtained. Pass this
bill, and the corruption fund, never more
necessary than it will be in the coming
campaign, will cease to exist. Refuse to
pass it, and they have to meet the indig-
nation of a people fully aroused to the ne
cessity Of doing away with that system Of
administration which renders the whole
machinery Of the government tributary to
political faction or clique, and makes it
possible for Il few shrewd and dishc nest
men who happen to get into power at
Washington to cXtort money from every

Within the last few days the tone Of
Republican papers here has changed re-
gardng the Belknap matter, and there is
strong disposition manifested to stand by
Belknap and defend Iim making Marsh
the scapegOat. SO long rs Marsh was
safe in Canada, they professed to be very
angry with the Committee for letting him
go, thus losing the only witness who
could convict the cx-Secrctary; and ar
gued that the prosecution must therefore
stop. In other words, Belknap could
neither be impeached nor convicted. But
the Judiciary Committee Of The House de-
manded that the President should procure
t he return Of Marsh by granting his i'm
munity from prosecution, and Grant was
forced to comply, or stand convicted be-
fore the country of desiring to shield Bel
KNAPP from criminal prosecution, as he has
already attempted to shield him from i'm

The Emma Mine SWindlc.

A letter received Monday from
London states that the gossip and
general conversation there on the sub
ject of the Emma Mine business was
based upon the understanding that
President Grant intended to sustain
Minister Schenck' That belief grew
out of a retailed report to the effect
that before mis- departure for this count
ry Col Forney telegraphed to Presi-
dent Grant, asking, "Will you stand
by Schenck ?" TO which Grant re-
piled by cable, 81 will" In view of
this and other circumstances, it is not
strange that Schenck should have been
surprised, upon arriving at New York,
to learn that while he was out of reach
Of any kind of communication, his res
ignation should be accepted. Schenck
may not arrive here in time to 60 before

date. Ex-senator Stewart is here and
