This mode Of procedure was CARRIED
on for many months, but finally the
secretary himself received tho re
mittancos. Thoro have for some time
boon lsuspicions of improper trsnsac-
tions in tho var department, md a
committee of the house of represen
tativcs took tho matter in hand.
Marsh's statement, though Brief wa was
comprehensive and cpnclusive, The
secretary was called before the com
mittee, to make any dofence no might
have. Flo admitted all the charges,
only asking that his vito be spared
from dishonor. The committee at
once recommended his..impoachmont,
and tho house promptly took action
in tho promises. In addition to the
trial before the scnato-tho practica.
bility of which, in view of Belknap's
resignation, is questionable-pro-
oeedings have becn instituted against
him in q criminal court, and will be
prcsacd with yigor. Bolknap's fall
is indeed great. He has always
stood high in the country, has re-
ceived constant praise for his zoal
and efficiency in his secrctaryship,
and has occupied social position to
which any man might reasonably and
honornbly aspire. Yet with all those
incentives to purity of official action,
no now stands before tho country
convicted Of acts which must dis
grace him forever, and which may
consign him to long imprisonment
The fall of such man with such
surroundings is enough to shake
Our faith in human virtue when sub
jocted to temptations unattended
with " probability of discovery in
case of wrong doing. More cspo-
cially docs it cause us to donbt tho
possibility of IL return in this corn-
try to TINT personal integrity which
once pcrVaded every department of
tho public service. The fall Of
BcllSnap naturally leads to the sus
picion-or rathor strengthens that
already widely fclt-that every
branch Of the national government
is more or less corrupt and that n
fnll investigation would disclose a
state Of affairs quite rs disgraceful
us is the action Of tho ex- secretary.
General CusLor, prominent and
trustworthy army officer, expresses
tho opinion that there arero trading
posts west OF tho Missouri Riyer
that havo not been purchased.
Other abuscsaro likewise believed TO
exist. The navy department fs sdd
to DO as rotten as aro tho hubs of
many ofour vessels of war. The'reve.
nuo department. has boon recontly
shown up in tho trials of tho whis
kcy-rings in the West. The troasu-
ry department has had somc ugly
dolngs in the past thrco years, in
which, it may be remembered, OK
Senator Sawyer played q leading
part. The department of stnto was
well represented by tho minister to
England, Mr.. Schnck, who spent
most Of his lime in teaching the
English nobility the fascinating game
Of draw-poker, and whom deprived of
that occupation d;d much 4eaards
foistinS upon uhsuspocting capital
lists some worthless mining stock at
large figures. The post ot1ico do
partment has as yet shown no signs
Of corrupt practices. 3Hor all those
abuses, tho republican party is di-
roctiy responsible, and for them all
it will be held to very rigid &C.
countability next summer. Tho
democratic prospect, in national af-
fairs, is considerably improved.
