The Cleveland Herald thinks the Bel

it is Every painful and Notifying to see
the haste with which Democrats have
seized upon it for the purpose of party
advantagel" And this paper, for the
sole purpose of "party advantage" was
one of the loudest and meanest last fall
in howling danger to the Public Schools
if the Democracy were kept in power in
Ohio by re-electing Governor Allen. Ii
the Belknap development were an exaep'
ton, there might be some propriety in
the HeraldS whine, but when it is ac-
knowledged that this only indicates the
rule, the general condition of things
known for years; and when we remem'
ber that Republican State Conventions
have continued to endorse Grant and his
policy, despite Credit Mobilier, District
Rings and frands generally, the H'rdIo
cannot thus easily throw off response

been peculiarly one of personal gain
The Congressional policy, too, of the
party in power is one of class legislation

THE Democratic State Committee of
Ohio are called to meet at Columbus on
the 18th inst. to decide upon the time of
holding the State Convention. Some are
clamoring for an early convention, claim
ing it to be important that the Ohio De"
mocracy should proclaim their views and
thus influence other States and the Ma
tional Convention, and defeat somebody
for the Presidential nomination. Ohio
is but one of the plllribuS in the Union,
and not being Democratic State, at best
not reliably so, we would, as a State,
probably lose nothing by making haste
slowly. There is much confusion just
now in the Situation" and few weeks
may straighten kinks, smooth asperities,
and promote harmony of thought and
action, so necessary to success. Demo-
cratic victory depends upon Democratic
unity of effort-conciliation is necessary,
and as the Spring local elections are at
hand, let us all meet and sacrifice at the
altar, and thus strengthen our organiza'
ton. 1t is not good policy to squabble
over Presidential candidates, nor as tc
what shall be expressed in the Nationa
platform. At all events, we have nc
fancy for a State platform with one utter
ance, and National platform with a re
verse position. We say, therefore, ou
State Convention need not precipitateC
upon us. There is no hurry, and few
weeks may settle some things. The las
of May or early in June will do very wei
for the State Convention.

BELKNAP throws Babcock into the
shade. This is full Grant Administra-
ton bust-a development that speaks
volumes, for it shows that the Fort Sill
arrangement has been going on since
1870. The question occurs-where has it
not been going on? The little that is
known about whisky and other crooked"
ways indicates that much is unknown.
For this exposure we may thank the
Democratic majority in the House at
Washington. The Administration lead
ers thought they were secure especially
after Babcock's escape, and the Belknap
development came upon them like a
thunderclap from clear sky, The light
ming most Unexpectedly struck in the
War Department and made the bones
rattle and tremble. President Grants
ready acceptance of Belknap's resigna-
ton was most unseemly. The country
never had President who would have
accepted Secretary's resignation under
such circumstances. The country at this
time is not in a humor to put up with
such things with the patience of the past,
when they endured shoddy contracts

CALEB P. MARSH was for many years an
estimable citizen of Cincinnati, being one
ofthe firm of the large hardware house
of Tyler, Davidson q Co., OF which Pro-
basco, who gave to that city the elegant
fountain, was also member. Mr.. Marsh
is gentleman of culture. He has tray
eled extensively, and says that he did
not think the proposition when made
was exactly right, that he did not want
the place nor the money, but it appeared
to be the desire of the ladies, Mrs, Bel
KNAPP and Mrs. Bowers, to make some
money, and he never thought ofthe Sec
retary's connection at all.
Yesterday and last night the President
and his family remained indoors as soon
as the facts were made public which led
Belknap to tender his resignation, and
callers were told that not one Of the
family was receiving. Gen. Belknap also
kept within doors, and walked his room
most of the night, lamenting the snare
which fashionable life and avarice had
entangled him in. His wife was very ill
to-day from nervous excitement.-Wa Wash.
