CORRUPTION IN THE CABINET.
rsECRETARY~- BELKNAP RESIGNED
I'M A C INVENT, &c, &c., &c.

{ WASHINGTON, March Q, l876.-Amid the
Astounding disclosures of official corruption,
which come daily to light, none have fallen
with more startling effect than the statements
unearthed yesterday evening in relation to the
Secretary of War tThese appear in another
column. ga.
+ This morning Senators Conklipg, Morton
and other friends OF the Administration were
early at the White House, and discovered that
the statements made in committee yesterday
were substantially true. They at once assured
Gen. Grant that if Secretary Belkpap did not
resign before the House of Representatives
met there was reason to fear Immediate articles
of impeachment.
Secretary Belknap's resignation was sent in
at once and accepted, its acceptance being
communicated to the other secretaries at the
Cabinet meeting, held at nooD.
Many news correspondents waited Oh Mr..
Belkuap, but be declined to communicate with
any one.
Mr.. Belknap will be called again before the
committee this evening.
Notice of the resignation aud its acceptance
was sent by the Prcsidentto the House Com
mttee at o'clock this morning. ,.
The House Committee on Expenditure OF
War Department made report fully convict.
ing Belknap of high crimes and misdeamors.
and recommending his impeachment. Evidence
read by the chairman of the committee amid
the most profouud attention and appa-
rent deep feeling Oh both sides. The evil
dence fully susains the reports published OF
the Secretary receiving the money for his wife.
The President in accepting the resignation
says: Il do it with great regret.
1t is believed, however, that Notwithstanding
the acceptance of the resignation of MIR. Bck-
nap, he is still amenable to impeachment, and
it is not unlikely that the House Of Represen-
tatives may consider it due to the honor of the
patton that punishment (under the constitution
restriction) shall be melted out in this case.
1t is reported 90 the Avenue late this after
noon that BeIknap has committed suicide by
shooting himself.

poudeut OF the Washington Star, says: The
property owners gave their property for turn
pike from the Long Bridge to Alexandria, to
be turnpike forever, aud when it should cease
to be turnpike said property should revert to
the owners. This property is now taken from
us aud we are driven out in the mud and marsh
simply because the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad purchased the turnpike company s
charter. This road, or its predecessors, took
the graveled portion and laid on it the bed Of
this road. And if / am correctly informed,
this railroad company refus to let the people
repair this foul mass of mud and filth. and the

THE WEATHER. The spit" OF snow which
was falling when the Gazette went to press,
last evening, developed afterwards into first
class snow storm, which lasted until about half
past ten o 'clock at night. On account of the
damp condition of the ground the snow did not
lie we'll, and was soon converted into sush,
which made walking very disagreeable. There
was another "spit" early this morning, after
which the sky cleared away with strong wind
and colder ten perature. Since morning bright
sunshine has prevailed and on the sheltered
side of the streets the temperature has been
naaaant. -. .-----
