nro beaten, and now SIMON is your
chance. lie can corrupt tho Democrats"
SIMON came forward, the Democrats were
corrupted, aud SIMON was elected senator.
In 1860 ut the National Convention
which nominated Mr.. LfNCoLN, in the
pre-. ence of events that sturtlcd the civil
lied world, SIMON was found on hand pros
ecuting his little personal aims, subordinat-
ing great and vital public issues entirely to
them. lie insisted upon having the vote
OF his State In that Convention, IA "A lever
by which to hoist himself into the Cabinet.
lie succeeded IN his p ans, and became Mr..
LiNCoLN's Secretary of War. But pub
lie opinion was excited ut the spccta-
Gle of such man being IN such place at
such timr; aud so, after brief service,
he WAS compelled to walk the plank. But,
with his great padding capacitic-, he got
To shore, aud found ms way back To the
Senate, where by his arts, which nobody
understood better than old THAD. STEVENS,
he has remained ever since. There he has
been II thick-and-thins supporter OF GRANTS
Administration, though often snuhbed;
but when he knows that he l. near the
footstool of power, nobody will bear more
snubhimg than SIMON.
When the san Domingo business first
came IN, SIMON calne out against IT, A
carriage ride and champagne with high
officials followed. One morning soon after,
all Unexpectedly, u nomination came to
the Senate OF SniON's sOn-in-llw ns n for

Their writing anu reading, and, looking
over their spec'acles, smiled blandly as
they turned their eyes upon the Pennsyl-
wanna politician. The next time san Do
mineo came up SIMON voted for it.
We therefore see no need of post ponng
that dinner. A perfectly just estimate
can he formed uowas well rs Ut any future
time of how SIMoN's work has been done.
Yet we have referred to only few
specimen bricks. The whole story would

Relknnp,s Imnc nchmcnt.

The Jude airy Committee of the House
will probably report articles OF impeach-
ment against BELKNAP to-day, and form
ally begin the work which was inter-
rupte1 by the flight of MARSH to Canada.
The testimony already taken in regard TO
the post leadership at Fort Sill Is abundant
to establish corruption in Office, and to
convict on every charge.
Investigation has developed other crimes
and misdemeauors on the part OF the late
Secretary of War, even moro outrageous,
if possible, than those with which the pub
lie is already familiar. There would be
no difficulty IN formulating new articles,
should that course DC deemed necessary.
II is understood the counsel of BELKNAP
mean to contest the jurisdiction, and to
rely upon that a. the man point OF their
case. Ten days Will DO allowed by the
Senate for this purpose. Mr. CARPENrER
Will conduct the defence in chief. seconded
by Mr.. MONTGOMERY BLAIR. While the
Republican Senate would like to get rid OF
this great scandal by a side issue OF IA want
OF jurisdiction, il is doubtful If that ex-
pertinent will be seriously ventured in the
face of public opinion.
III public officer charged with n high
crime may resign while his Official conduct
is under investigation by a committee Of
Congress, and thus escape the penalty of
impeachment, then the Constitution affords
no protection to the people agai lst posi-
Bile COLLISION 10 obstruct the course OF jus
tee. When the President accepted BEL
KNAP's resignation, lie either knew OF his
corruption, or he was bound TO inquire
into the facts before cousenting To his re-
uremeut with an indictment pending
against him.
There Is no precedent in this country APP
plcable TO the exact case of BELKNAP, be-
cause in previous i;npeachments the
officials charged with crime lid not res gu
to evade trial. Judge DURELL was an eX-
ception, but the judiciary Committee IT
Republicans, with BEN BUTLER Mt their
head, held that resignation was no pro-
lection. lie was not impeached for rea-
sons of expediency only. II the Senate
should admit the jurisdiction, BELKNAP
will probably plead guilty, under the adj
vice of his Republican friends, in order TO
withdraw attention from the subject aud
TO prevent the public effect OF II State trial.

tons Of tho enforcement act IN that they

Everybody who has watched his career

In the first place, SIMON has never had
n conviction. He has been merely a trad
ing politician. lie has trod carefully In
devious ways, His State has sometimes
been on one side and sometimes on
the other, and so has SIMON. He has
often stood so near the dividing line
between the contrasting parties that
1t required very close scrutiny to de-
termine which side he was on; and IL
has sometimes turned out that he was on

II Amos, Why Not Grnnti

The House of Representatives OF Missis-
sippl have presented articles of impcach-
mcnt against Gov. AMEs, "to the effect
that in consideration of $500 paid to the
superintendent Of the Penitentary, and
500 paid TO a member of the Legislature,
Gov. AMEs pardoned ono ALEXANDER
SMITH, sentenced to the penitentiary for
life"
How is this? If AMEs can be impeaChod
for payments made TO the superintendent
Of the Penitentary aud to II member OF
the Legislature, cannot GRANT be inn
peached for payments made to his own
brother in compensation for appoint
ments conferred by the President?
The truth is, there is evidence enough
against GRANT to impeach an ordinary
man; but there is n very strong indisposi-
ton to impeach him except upon absolute
and indisputable proof duplicating him
directly in crime. This feeling is attribute
able TO the appreciation of GRANTS mill
tary services, and il goes 10 show that,
after all that has been said on the subject,
republics are not ungrateful. If it were
not for what Gen. GRANT did in the war
he would have compulsory leave from the
White House within the next ninety days.

TIVE Love Gonc Our of Fn-hIon,

money mad. II the dandy bank clerk who pays
one half Of bis income for board and the other
hal Tor clothes cannot improve his condition h0
will not marry. The shop Girl who earns good
wages aud cannot be distinguished by her dress
from the bankers daughter certainly will not
plunge into matfimony unless she can better
her condition In life. II man is fortunate
enough TO possess money, II matters not how
old or ugly he may be, hundreds OF intelligent,
handsome young women can be found only too
willing To become his wife. Love is an after
consideration. They marry To he supported

1t cannot be denied that a great number OF

Let us see whether we have so much
reason TO be shocked ut hearing such Sou
timents unblushiugy proclaimed, at this
day, by an unreflecting woman. Are they
not the natural result and inevitable out
growth of the teachings OF Mr.. GEORGE
WILLIAM CURTIS and the orators of the
Union League Club, for six years and SIX
months out Of the past seven years. Have
they not sustained Gen. GRANT, through
thick and thin, notwithstanding his prone
ness, throughout both his terms OF Office, TO
couple together public appointments aud
the receipt of gifts?
What have these eleventh-hour moralsts
said-what have they not said-ot The
Sun, because It has been denuuncing, for
years, the corrupt practices in public
affairs, against which they now lit up
Their voices III pious lamentations?
Grantism has recently been, is now, and
will be to the end. what IL was in the
beginning; not different, neither better
nor worse. GRANT came into Office gift
taker, "A bestOwer of Office upon those
from whom he had received money, and
houses and land. JACKSON SCuULrz's skin
was as thick 10 these things then as the
hides that he sells; and the forclble-fcehle
deuunclatlons by CURTIS of all who con-
tended against the Washington hot-house
of bribery, served ~ fitting text to the
NASTY cariclturcs which accompanied
them.

MARSH or any other disciple Of their own
