1t is now charged that Belknap made
a common practice of selling army trading
posts to settlers who paid the contribu-
tons levied on them by extortions upon
the poor soldiers. 1t is further stated
that years ago the crimes of Belknap were
laid before the President and he refused
to consider them; and that Capt.
Robertson, who first brought the charges,
was arraigned on some frivolous Pretext
and dismissed from the service and that
Gen. Harzen paid the penalty of his
knowledge of the transactions of the
Belknap Marsh populations at Fort
Gill, by being removed to distant sta
ton. 1t is furthermore charged that
Belknap and his accompliees made large
speculations out of the contracts to furnish
marble for the graves of the soldiers who
died in the war, and all these things, and
others too numerous to mention, and too
disgusting to relate at one time, will be
revealed in their hideousness. And
his is the work of the representative
men-the accredited agents-the Lord
annointed of the God and morality party,
which is now on trial at the bar Of public
topinion.

The well-informed Jackson correspon-
dent of the Holly Springs South says
that one of the charges against Ames is,
that as Governor, he signed contracts
leasing penitentiary convicts to party
friend (by which he realized large sums
at the expense of the people, on condi-
ton that he would sign certificate
charging an adversary with an infamous
crime. In other words, that he sold Off

The testimony in the case of Lient.-

proof is that the accused received $500

that it was afterwards delivered to hlm

Packer swore several things before the

were untrue on the trial, and 1t Is NOT

A Question of Privilege.

We have been very anxious to get the
ear Of the nation on the Ames, Dozy and
Davis affairs in this State, but fear that
the noise and confusion resulting from
the Belknap, Babcock and other startling
developments duplicating the Admins
tration at Washington will prevent.
Nevertheless, when we get the testimony
we will rise to question of privilege
and claim the right to a hearing for
Mississippi.

THE President is censured for receiv-
ing Belknap's resignation before his i'm
parchment. The President had no power
TO prevent his resignation, but his speedy
acceptance of it had the appearance Of
aiding and abetting the malefactor's
escape from the penalty of his crimes.
