A Dishonest Party.


All along, for years, it has been
charged that stealing, corruption and
bribery stalked abroad in Grants
Cabinet, and in every department of
the Government under Republican
rule. The Republican party has en-
,cayorcd to prevent any investiga,
ton of the affairs of the several dc.
partmcnts, But at last the over
whclming Democratic victory Of
1874 are beginning to be fully reali-
zcd. The popular House OF Congress
is largely Democratic; it was needed
to purge out the unclcannoss Incl
dent to Republican rule at Washing
ton, and although the work has been
going ON quietly, it has been none
the less effective. a Cabinet Of
liccr-thc Secretary of Warts de-
tccted and exposed as Il. bride taker,
confcsscs his guilt, resigns his Office,
and now hangs his head in shame
and rcmorsc, and fears the penalty
that must follow, and who is now UNI
der guard. But then, is Mr., Bclk-
nap any worse than Grant? Grant
has been a present taker ever since
he was first installed in the Prcsidcn-
tial Chair, in clear violation of all
law. Let the investigations be car
ricd into the White House, and the
President may be found equally as
guilty of bribery as his Secretary Of
War. When the first news of this
great scandal was received, people
were inclined to doubt its truth, To
the establishment and disgust of the
honest people of the country, howcv-
cr, it is confirmed. The questions
may naturally be asked, whore will
this end? Who is to be the neXtvi
tim of honest investigation? What
department of the General Govern
ment will be found undeflcd by cor
rupting influences that have so long
dcied public sentiment, while rob
berry and pcculation have run riot
within their walls? If Bclknap, the
War Secretary, pleads guilty to so
base Il crime as accepting bride in
his official capacity, who Of the Re
publican office holders is honest?-
The people urge the prosecution Of
these investigations, and say to the
Democratic House, hunt down the
public robbers, even if it lead to the
sacred cnyirons of the White House
The private Secretary Of the PrcSi-
dent holds secret communication
with convicted thieves; the PrcSi-
dents Secretary of War confcsses to
taking brides and selling appoint
ments. Now, what are the people to
think of the President himself?
a very full report of this expose
will be found in this paper. The
country may thank the Democratic
party for hunting out these robbers
Of the people. 1t will no doubt, be
mighty interesting reading to all
"third.tcrmcrs," and to those Repub-
Hcans who have been the apologists
and defenders of Grants administra-
ton.

New York, March IA Tines
Washington special says that Mr..
Marsh, Of New York, appeared before
the Committee on Expenditures of the
War Department yesterday and test
flied that he had procured Of Sccre-
tary Belknap a contract for certain
post traderships at Fort Sill and 9TH
er points in the southwest, for which
he paid the wife of the Secretary ten
thousand dollars, and continued to
pay as long us he held the post six
thousand dollars annually. He also
testified to other frauds and corrupt
acts of the Secretary, and produced
records in evidence, He was subject.
ed to thorough cross-cXamina5ion but
was not shaken,
Secretary Belknap, yesterday after
noon, confessed that The statements
were true. Heimplored the commit
tee to save his wife from dishonor
and to suppress some Of the most
damnable proofs. He offered to suf,
fer the whole consequences, provided
the record of the courts were with
held. The committee, however, was
incxorabler5
The committee on Expenditures Of
the War Department has been in SEES
sion all morning, and is supposed to
be preparing report in the Bclknap
case, The impression is that the re-
port, whatever it may be, is unani-
nous. 1t is further understood that
when the committee came in, the
facts asccrtaincd will be reported, and
that resolution will be adopted di-
rccting the preparation of articles Of
impeachment. The statement con
corning the completely of General
Belknap with the corrupt sales of
post leadership and his consequent
resignation caused the most profound
sensation in all circles here, and are
the theme of universal conversation.
The published statement only gave
one side of the story. There are, it
is claimed, peculiar aud delicate COM
plications surrounding the affair,
which can only be cleared up by a
thorough investigation, and as the
committee having charge of the mat
ter have so far refused to hear the
statement Of General Belknap and
his witnesses, a full explanation Of
the subject cannot be given at this
time. 1t seems that the committee
determined to report articles Of i'm
parchment against the General and
on that account prefer not to hear his
testimony until it is delivered before
the Senate, sitting as court of inn
peachmcnt The resignation Of Gen
eral Balknap having this morning
been rendered and promptlyaccepted,
defeats the impeachment project, and
it is now thought that the commit
tee will agree to receive such testi-
mony as General Bclknap wishes to
give in the matter charged against
him. 1t can be stated as positive
fact; that while money was paid by
Mr.. Marsh as bonus for the post
leadership at Fort Sill, General Bclk-
nap did not originate the arrange
mont which resulted in the payment
of this bonus: neither was he privy
