/ Concerning. the impeachment Of
Gen. EBelknap, oursW ashiHgton cor
respondent informs US that the Dem
ocratg have given out that they de-
sire to haYeisome Republican Sena-
tor move that,tbeSenate take no ac-
tion in the impeachment case, on the
ground that Belknap is not now a
civil officer, and thai, If. such a mo-
tion is made, the Democratic Sena-
tors will vote for it. Two reasons are
said to have influenced them to
this ( action; First, the Democratic
party has alreadymade all the polit-
ical. capital out of it thatis possible,
and, as one of the Democratic Sena-
tors said Saturday, further inYesti-
cation might show that Belknap is
not as guilty as he now appears; SEQ
ond, because the Judiciary Commit
tee has practically decided in their
discussion of the matter that if one.
man can be, impeaehed out Of office
another can, and that time is no bar
to impeachment proceedings. This
position of Democrats is fnFther con-.

The local politicians of New York are
making a stir for Conkling's nomina lion
for the presidency, but it dies not make
much headway. There are many ex5
cellent men in the city who would be
glad to see Conkling in the Presidential
chair. and there great many who would
not. But there are thousand or more
political bummers, who would support
anybody whose friends will put up"
and this class are unfortunately all for
Conkling, hesbeing the first New York
er mentioned for the place. They ara
OEgsnizsng "Conkling clubs ali over the
city, and are making great deal of
noise. but I Jam happy to say that they
all have hungry look. They are not

Ike TO be President ! wouldn't mind 1t
myself-but be never did dirty thing,
and be never will. He will never pay
bummers. s.-he will never support a body
OF mercenaries, nor will be use undue u
fuence. The bummers who are shout
ing conkiing at this time are doing 1t at
their own expense, and they are getting
sick. The supplies don't come, and
these fellows never do anything at their
own charges-that is for any leug th OF
time. Consequently their zeal viii / very
soon abate. The fact is New Y ork isn't
very anxious to have candidate. There
are two OF three different factions in the
city, and they ar mDFiaily afraid Of
each other. They would ell rather
have newsm an raiher Than have any
one who has ever mixed in city or state
politics. The De mocracy are hardly any
better Of. Tilden cannot get the undivid-,
ed support Of the party in Che city. and
for that matter no ons can. So Gar as
New York is concerned it win not make
much Of show Of influence in either
convention. The liberals, what is len Of

There seems to be hitch in the Bel
KNAPP impeachment case, aod some ap-
prshensIoa thar it may have the effect to
defeat the proceedings against the ex-
Secretary. The Democrats were 50 eh :
Unused over these discoveries. and 50
earnest that they should be brought into
the broadest lightin the shortest possible
time, 50 as to reach and have their effect
upon the New Hampshire election, that
they defeated and oyel-leaped them
selves. Such was their hurry, they failed
to take evidence enough TO give the
charges against the Secretary OF War
their full legal weight, and they were so
busy getting Democratic speakers primed
with the subject for use in New Hamp,
shire that they allowed Marsh 10 eseap e
to Canada. Tie record evidence tax

but that Marsh's presence is necessary

Judge Taft, of Cincinnati, has
been desigpa, s5 by thesPres dent to
fiji the v SAINT place in the War Of
fee, md the nOmination seems to
eivelgend al satisfaction. The rep
ulAtion ablished before the peo-
pie of this State in the last State
campaign, Is such as to quiet all
question about his ability, his hon
esty, his patriotism, or his stanch ad-.
herence to Republican faith, and the
maintenance Of Union principles in
the struggle against rebellion, leave
no doubt Of the righteousness of the
selection made. The Cleveland Her
aid alludes to him thass
Judge Taft is of Eastern birth
and graduated at Yale College m
the class of 1883. Soon after leaY-
inc college he came West and. set
tied in Gincipnati, where he com-
menced the practice of law, and N 2
comparatively short timew won alead-
ing position at the bar. lie took an
active interest in the municipal at
fairs of Cincinnati, but declined all
offers of political position until 1856.
The newly organized Republican par
.ty prevailed on him to accept their
candidatesbip for Congress in op-
position to Mr.. George III. Pendle-
ton. After a spirited contest he was
defeated by a small majority. He
had. joined the Republican. party
when it was first organized, and from
that day to the presept time has
been found faithful to is. principles,
aud ever ready to labor for their SUI
premaey. During the war he waP
active a1d earnest on the side of the
Union. He never wavered or lost
faith. His voice and pen.were used
with unfagging energy in behalf of
the Union cause. ss8eas'ie
Judge Taft has accepted the of
fee of Secretary of War. This'is .
piece of good news that viii be re-
ceiyed with pleasure.

A Washington dispatch, of which
as much may be believed as the
reader chooses, for we cannot guar.
antee the truth of werd oft, says;
The plan arranged by Gen. Bel
knap to affect his escape from the
city, but for its timely discovery
would have in ali probability been
/ a success. A fast sailing yacht had
been secured, and was to cruise
in the vicinity Iof Point Lookout, at
the confidence of the Potomac and
the Chesapeake Bay. The ex-Secre-
tary, IN disguise, was to leave his
residence under cover of the night
and take carriage drawn by feet
horses. By the river road the dis
tance from the Navy Yard to Point
Lookout is about sixty miles. Reach
ing the latter point it was proposed
to embark. It was then proposed to
put out of the Bay under the cover
of darkness. Once clear of the
capes, it was arranged to set sail Tor
Bermuda. The discovery of the plan
for the escape of the Secretary and
of the measures taken to prevent it,
have already been given in these
dispatches. The President has Civ
en- directions to spare no pains to
bring the delinquent Secretary to
prompt and rigorous punishment.
When the Secretary was confronted
with his proposed escape, he became
greatly agitated and made no at
tempt to deny it.
