BELKNaP,s IMPEACHMENr.
Some of the Reasons why the Senate will
Amrm its Jurisdiction.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Although the
Senate has not deliberated upon the question Of
Jurisdiction in the Belknap Impeachment, it is
understood that It will decide that It has jurIs-
diction. while 1t may properly hesitate TO say
that an officer Is impeach able all the days OF his
llfe It will also hesitate to say that he may re-
aign for the purpose OF evading the life punish
ment provided by the Constitution. The Senate
will undoubtedly hold under an unbroken
series OF authorities that the judicial act OF i'm
peachment dates back to the earliest moment OF
same day can have no effect as against impeach-
ment. The Senate may also say that the I'M
peachment related back to the inception OF the
Proceedings before the House Committee on
Expenditures In the War Department.. and u
Will hardly conclude TINT man may enrich
only punishment he fears by summary resig-
nation.
1t will be coniended when the Senate meets
TO deliberate upon the question of Jurisdiction,
that II the senate has no right to try person
after he vacates the once IN which he has been
guilty OF nigh crimes and msdemeano-s, then
there will never again be an impeachment trial,
for the reason that the party accused could pen
his resignation In the gallery OF the House one
minute before the vote to impeach was an
nounced. and tho acceptance OF the resignation
would not be OF the slightest consequence.
Republican Senators say that were the ules-
tion whether a man who has long ceased TO be
an official can DO impeached for oucnces COM
mitted during his term Of once, the vote aG inst
jutisdic'io1 would unquestionsbly be unani-
nous. but that an Official can wait unit! he
knows what the action Of the House viii be,
and then commit ON rial suicide by resiening
and thereby escape the obioquy which impe ch-
ment provides, Is a doctrine which Will not Oe
tolerated 10y the Senate.

What his Friend, say ~ TO the Prospects
Of the Democracy.

WAsHINGrON, May 12.-Gov. Hendricks
OF Indiana, returning home from the Centennial
visited the Cautol to-day, and was for the time
tho most popular man in the Democratic
party. lie took position In the Speak
er's room, to which one after another
OF the bright lights of the Democratic
side were conducted by the next Governor
OF Indiana, James 5. Williams, and by him in
troduced to the next President OF the United
States. That Is what an enthusiastic admirer
OF Mr.. Hendricks said after the ovation was
over but Mr. Hendrickss personal friends,
who profess to know the situation, do not think
he will even be the next nominee OF the Demo-
cratic party, much less the next President In
fact 1t Is asserted that he does not want tho
nomination. The failure OF the Democratic
House at an early day in the session to make
political capital by repeating the specie resump-
tion act has made a large number OF voters In
Indiana not only Indifferent hut positively in
imicai to the further success Of the Democrats
Nor Is the question so much ono of hnance as
politics. Tho Independents, who are daily
making the succ sss OF the Democracy In In-
diana more and more uncertain, claim that the
specie resumption net was purely partisan
measure, political trick OF the retiring Repub
lican Forty-third Congress. upon which the hard
aud paper money men united without q dissent
Democratic members OF the House In the Forty
fourth Congress opposed to the repeal OF that
thing the Western Democracy does not and will
not understand. Mr. Hendrickss friends further
declare that the issue thus raised Is not so much
one OF policy as pertinence In the coming cam
pagn.
