THERE is nothing which so shows the
tendency to utter depravity, Us the at.
tempt to shoulder the national disgrace,
which is now uppcrmos:, upon a
woman. That Mrs. Belknap is
not blameless, is true, but that
she should be held responsible, is cruelty
unjust, and outrageously indecent. Chiv"
airy must have fed to british beasts
when public men and journalists can in
dulge in such course. A husband with
the moral stamina which every honest
man should possess, will never be placed
in position where there is occasion for
concealmeat behind his wife. AS guilty
as Secretary Belknap is, he will become
thousand times more infamous if he does
not promptly erepel the insinuation
against both his dead wife and her living
sister.

Although the produce commission dealers
call the market dull, and complain OF lack Of
receipts. it is nevertheless the tact that tair
trade is doing for this season of the year. The
hog trade is past-there seems to be no doubt
of that. A few small lots, and these Of not
frst-class quality. are arriving each day. and
sell in retail lots, single hog at time, at 8xc
and sometimes at Sc. Dressed beef is practi-
cally out of the market, and so is poultry.
Fresh killed chickens are in first-rate demand
from dealers at 1a@12xc, according to quality.
All good lots have sold at tho outside price:

Cabinet Meeting ON Belknap's Case.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-Tha Cabinet

Cabinet Meeting ON Belknap 's Case.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The Cabinet
met 1T noon to-day, with all the members
present. and remained in session until
long after 3 o'clock. The subjects that
received consideration were the institu.
ton OF criminal proceedings against ex.
Secretary Belknap and those who were
associated with him in the practices of
bribery and corruption that have been
oficislly discovered, and the selection of
new SECRETARY Of War. The President
stated to the Cabinet that while he could
take no steps which might look like the
persecution of any one, he had deter.
mined to shrink from no responsibility
that rested upon him, and he therefore
asked the ATTORNEY General to take i'm
mediate steps to proceed with criminal
charges against Belknap and Messrs.
Marsh and Tomlinson, and all others
shown by any evidence that shall be ad-
duced to have had part in the fearful
transactions that were the subject of at.
tent'on. Upon this determination of the
President there were full and thorough
expressions of opinion, favoring such &C.
ton as the President determined upon
without delay. The peculiar character
OF the case, Of Gen. Belknap's offense,
differing in many respects, as it does,
from an ordinary case of bribery, was a
subject of comment and discussion, the
result Of which was reference of the en-.
tire matter 20 the Attorney General, who
will take the necessary steps to enter
upon criminal proceedings just as soon as
the facts are put in shape to be sworn to.
AS a part Of the discussion it was men.
toned that there should be no DELAY in
the proceedings because of the
progress Of an impeachment trial.
The two trials will Be
entirely independent of each other.
Judge Perrepont remained at the execu-
tive mansion for short time after the
other cabinet officers had gone to their
respective departments, for the purpose
OF getting what facts the President might
be in possession Of, in accordance with =
determination to commence immediately
the proceedings under his charge.
The discussion relative to the appoint
ment OF successor to Secretary Belknap
was Of considerable length, but no decis.
ion was arrived at, and there will proba-
bly, be another cabinet session about it.
Assurance is given that the person who
will be appointed to the o9ice will be .
man Of high character and known posi-.
ton.
