The Washington Star affrights the
ext Confederate House of Represent
atives in the impeachment of Bel
KNAPP, by foreshadowing hat the pre-
cedent of i%mpeaching IN ex-oficial
might become a boomerang. 1t
says.
SIT is to be hoped the principle
that ex-public functionaries may be
impeached for past malfeasance in
Office shall be firmly established, be-
cause there are those who broke their
oaths of Office and helped to plumber
Uncle Sam in the trying times about
the beginning of the late civil war,
who are as fond of Office now as they
were them"
1t is barely possible that the idea
expressed in this paragraph may
have had some weight in influencing
the delays which have occurred in
the House regarding the Belknap af-
fair. Atany rate, it presents q new
feature to the case, which is worthy
of general attention.

1t may serve the purpose of dis
honest partisans to make an effort to
identify Belknap's crime with his
party membership it may serve the
purpose of dishonest sectarians to
make an effort to identify Winslow's
crimes with his sectarian member
ship; no honest man of clear head
will fail to see that if there is any
thing peculiar in the relation of their
Church and party to their crimes, it
is that the Church and party have a
little more interest than others in
seeing them properly punished. 1t
is waste oftime to hunt up cases of
men belonging to other churches or
to other parties who were guilty Of
greater crimes, and seek to throw
greater obloquy upon such other
churches or parties in hat way. If
they are more guilty on account of
the greater crimes of their members,
VIC cannot escape sharing the guilt
of our own members in their proper
degree. But no man is capable of
SHINING for his whole Church Or his
whole party you might as we'll
charge the whole Patriot army with
the treason of Benedict Arnold.
Belknap's crime was his own, utterly (;
and the Republican party can be-
come responsible only by its w act
in becoming voluntary alder and
abettor. This it does not intend to
do. From the President down to its
humblest member the motto is, "Lct
no guilty man escape" So long as
the party occupies this position it
identifies itself completely with the
interests of the country. The ma
tions grievance is its grievance, and
the nations laws are its defense. SIT
is impossible but that %offenses shall
come, but woe unto hat man by
whom the offense comcth."

The Democratic majority in the
House recognized the credentials Of
members from Louisiana, signed by
Governor Kellogg, as legitimate and

ty in the Senate voted solidly against
similar credentials signed by Govern
or Kellogg, emitting Mr.. Pinchback
to a seat in that body. The consist
ency of this is not apparent.

House to beg they might not be re-

the contrary, they appeared before

In answer to the hundreds of
communications we are in daily re-
ceipt of, we have compiled the bud
get of information herewith given,
for the benefit of all who are afflicted
with the Black Hills fever. While
it is not as complete as We desire
and promise to make it, we think it
will answer most of the questions
asked.
The first query propounded is
whether We really believe there is
gold in the Black Hills. This has
been too well proven to admit OF
doubt. Gold is found in paying
quantities in nearly all portions of
the region, the richest discoveries
having been of quite recent occur
renee, on Deadwood and Whitewood
creeks, some sixty miles from Custer
City, which is now a large and -four
ishing town, with regularly elected
officers, a full complement of bust
ness houses, etc.
West n north OF the Black
Hills lie extensive mountain ranges
of similar formation, which have
been but little explored, but which
r full of gold and silver, which lat
ter metal has been discovered in
large and rich veins, within thirty
miles of Custer City. Good gold
quartz mines have also been found
in the Hills.
DISTANCES.
Following we give the distances
from Cheyenne to the Black Hills,
the points mentioned being, as will
be seen, at convenient distances
apart for camping, and having ac-
commodations for travellers.

TRANSPORTATION, ETC.
A line of daily stages, carrying
passengers, mail and express, will
begin running between Cheyenne
and Custer City on or before the
LIST of April. Fare will be as fol-
lows: First-class, Cheyenne to
Custer City, $50; second-class,
Cheyenne to Custer City, SIS;
third-class, Cheyenne to Custer City,
$40. (These rates apply only to
through tickets.)
Our forwarding houses can fur
nish transportation for 1000, 900
pounds at a shipment. Freight
charges, Cheyenne to Custer, range
from 81 to 6 cents per pound, ac-
cording to kind of animals employed
and time consumed on the road.
Horses are plenty and cheap here.
Prices range as follows: Well-bro-
ken saddle horses, $35 to SIS each 4;
or with saddle, bride, etc., from $40
up. Well-broken work teams, 500
to $3.50 per span ; single carriage
horses, 800 to $3.50 each; mules,
5000 to $500 per span.
1t will cost less to outfit here than
to bring outfits with you. Heavy
stocks and hot competition cause
this. We do not say so because we
are paid fop it but because we have
yet to see the man who has QUILTED
elsewhere who does not affirm that
his outfit has cost him at least 25
per cent. more than it would if pur-
chased here.

Hawaiian Reciprocity.

Friends of the Hawaiian treaty are beginning to
be discouraged at the prospect Of final action by
the United States Senate this session. 1t will be
remembered that this treaty was arranged between
the high contracting powers over a year ago. AS
the revenue was affected it had to go to the House
for its concurrence. There it was kicked about for
months, and at last was approved and sent to the
Senate for finishing touches. As the vote in the
Senate a year ago was very pronounced in it's
favor, no fear was felt about its receiving The sane
ton of Senators the second time for it would
hardly do for the honorable gentlemen to stultify
themselves by changing their votes now, especially
as it is known that during the interval powerful
influences have been brought forward to bias their
action. The matter has been in the hands Of SEN
ator Sargent for three or four weeks, and II Is fear
ed be has a good motive for not pressing ii to a
vote. The Senator is known to be favorable 10 the
measure, and probably anticipates some difficulty
in getting it through successfully at this time. We
think. however, be should wave bis personal feel
ings and submit it to a vote, let the result. be what
1t may. There is less opposition to the treaty here
than there was a year ago at the same time the
friends of the measure are less active. We are sat
isfed that a 6nal deci:ion would be welcome than
else. Hawaiian planters have 10000
kegs sugar 10 San Francisco warehouses, which
they are anxious to dispose of, and 5000 tons sI-
gar at the islands waiting a market, As soon as

The Silver Problem.

The .ata of July &c, has the following on this
subject:
"The conviction is strongly gaining ground that
the silver problem will continue 10 puzzle us until
it is solved and set Alright by the natural laws of
trade and the course of current events, and that all
the legislation upon the subject, or such as we are
likely to have, will not of itself afford the relief 80
much desired. In the retail trades particularly,
will it be found that any attempt to settle the
difficulty by arbitrary rules will only increase the
same. If it is determined to establish q gold basis
for goods sold by retail it will undoubtedly be found
to the interest Of enough of those who may enter
into such an agreement to break through the same,
thus ~upsetting the calculations and proving a detri-
ment to others. To the majority of customers dis
counting silver payments would appear extortionate,
whereas by adding the discount, or a part thereof,
to the actual gold prices, would really pass I'M
noticed, or if explained, would be regarded as a
purely legitimate transaction. 1t is quite evident
that the efforts TO enforce q settlement of the exist
ing silver difficulty, as applied to general business.
are increasing the profits of the money changers.
Through agitation Of the subject it has now become
quite common for dues Of all kinds to be exacted in
whole or in part gold. Just as this disposition
increases so will the money shavers grow fat on the
limited earnings Of the middle classes, and the
mall trades continue to be embarrassed"
