THE CENTENNIAL APPROPRiA'
TiON IN THE HOUSE.

No true Democrat (which term OF
course implies n friend OF peace and good
yovernment) can read the proceedings OF
the House yesterday, on the question OF
making an appropriation for the centen-
without-lf not pride, at least without
Il sense of relief that the Democratic
majority fully comprehend the situation,
and are determined to show the country
,ha. they are opposed to revivication
or old issues. and are unwilling that
wounds in process OF healing, should be
started to bleeding anew. The remarks
made on this question, to which We desire
specifically to call attention, are those OF
Mr. WADpsLL of North Carolina.
Though u Southern man, and even an
"ex REBEL this gentleman not only
warmly a!rocated the bill himself, but
stated upon authority, that he
knew that many Democrats who
hal been opposed to the measures
had resolved to vote for it now,
to show the people of the country that
il there was any desire to keep up sec
tionsl hate, or if there was any lack OF
the spirit Of patriotism, or wish to see the
honor and dignity OF the whole country
vindicated, neither that desire nor that
spirit was chargeable to the Democracy.
1t will be remembered that these iden-
teal sentiments were advocated only a
few days since in the columns OF the
REGISTER. We lay 10 special Claims to
credit tor having expressed them; but
We are immensely gratiied to see
that they are but the natural
result of Democratic instinct MIR.
BLAINE and his Radical followers can
receive no more decided rebuke than for
the Democratic party in the House to
vote soidly for this Centennial appro-
priation. Then, in a nutshell, it will ap.
pear that, while the Radicals are waving
the bloody shirt, and striving to call up
old prejudices and old hatreds, Demo-
Gratis are doing all they can to heal up
the divisions of the past, and look forward
solely to the future greatness of our undi-
yided country. Can any Union soldier or
any war enthusiast desire anything more
satisfactory What tremendous con-
trast this to the course of the party
which, while applauding BLAINE, has to
bear the odium OF the Credit MobilIer,
the San Domingo, the black Friday, in
short, the legion of frauds of the past,
added to the crooked whisky swindles OF
the present. Further comment is entire
ly unnecessary.

POsT TRADERSHIPs.
THE PRESIDENTS BROTHER AN
UNWILLING AND DAMAGING
WITNESS. s-Aa 81

Probable Grounds for the Impeach-
ment OF the President.
Special despatch to the World
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The Presi.
dents brother, Orville L. Grant, testi-
fed before two committees of the
House to-day. The greatest interest
was manifested in his testimony be.
fore the Committee on Expenditures
in theWar Department, and the results
fully justified the anticipations of
those who were aware of his connect
ion with the post leadership frauds.-
He was very unwilling witness. He
equivoeated, ,prevaricated, crossed him
self once or twice, and the members
of the committee are disposed to be-
lieve that he lied outright about some
matters. His testimony, given reluc-
family, about the President is of very
grave character, and in the opinion of
many will furnish tho groundwork for
articles of impeachment against the
President, truly fitting tableau for
the closing scene in an Administration
which for the past eight years has been
the hot bed of political corruption and
public vice.
The witness testified positively that
he had never applied to the President
for trading post, and, hesitatlngly,
swore that he did not ever remember
writing letter to the President or re-
ceiving one from him about the post
leadership; he did not remember show
letter purpOrting to be from the
President, saying that he had given
orders that no more post traderships
should be disposed of until further
orders to man named Bowen, Of
Orange. N. j. He did have such q
letter, but burned it, as he is in the
habit of doing with all of his cores
pondence. After a great deal Of close
questioning Grant Jfndlly testified that
the President did Drite him a letter stu
ting that in u short time Seoerdl post trd-
der ships 9rOuld be made Udcdnt and that
If OrUtlle tndnted some lie must file his
applications. The President even spe-
Gifted some of the fat posts that would
he vacated. This was in 1874, and the
witness after acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the letter testified that it was
written in reply TO I'M application for
a post leadership BY the Presidents

How much money did you draw from
Mr. Layton?" inquired Mr.. Clymer.-
About s2000," was the reply. "Well,
you mean that you received no other
money from post traders?" And in re-
ply to this question the witness hesita-
tingly stammered forth that he drew

What Mrs. Belknap Says.

We fully agree with our correspondent
"Chip," that it is "a base and cowardly
charge" to accuse the women with drag
ging down of "our public men" Wash
ington; and the attempt to make "scapa
goat" of the women by the Radical apol-
ogist for rascality is disgraceful and un'
manly. We hope this will not be per-
mitted by the better portion of the wo-
men of the Federal Capital. And it ap-
pears that Mrs. Bnlknap is not disposed
to suffer all the scandal to rest upon her
shoulders. The correspondent OF the
New York Herald quotes her language to
a friend, and it will be seen that she is
quite indignant at the turn given the
affair by the Radicals who are interested
in escaping the consequences of her hus-
bands guilt:
Mrs. Belknap said, day or two ago, to
friend, who relates her conversation,
that she did not consider herself a crimi-
nal, or that she had done anything par
ticularly wrong; at least she did not feel
that she was committing great sin
when she used her influence to get her
friends positions.
But said she, if I have sinned
others have doubly sinned if am gull
ty of crimes others are guilty of double
crimes"
She went on to say that she had done
only what others had been doing for
years. She was sure that many people
in her place would have done far worse
than she and used their influence to the
fullest extent. This contidante of Mrs.
Belknap says that Mrs. Belknap and her
friends make no secret in their private
conversations of these things. Accord
ing to their admission the practice is one
long standing.
Mrs. Belknap says that her case is Of
little Importance compared with the sit
uation of others. The names of promi-
nent men are threatened as having Sc
cured offices for their friends through
the influence of their presents and their
money. Mrs. Belknap says that astound-
ing facts will be brought to light if the
committee are anxious for them, and that
she is far from deserving the deep con.
demnation that has been heaped upon
her by the public.
Can Mrs. Belknap allude to Mrs. Grant
and the appointment Of General Ingalls,
In consideration of the gold watch, o.
does she refer to the wives of the Cabi
net officers generally? Perhaps tn
Commercial or Republican will answer.
