The Independent Question.

Influential Republican papers diff
fer as to whether the Senate will
decide that II has jurisdiction to i'm
peach Belknap. 1t matters very
little which way it decides, so far as
the case now before it goes. Bel
KNAPP is already impeached by very
strong general feeling, and is as eifec-
tually disqualified from holding
Office ever again as though he was
formally debarred from that privilege
by the impeaching power. He can
never reinstate himself in public con-
fiIence. Besides, he has already
been indicted by grand jury of the
Criminal Court for taking a bride,
and will no doubt suffer conviction
upon that charge. The question,
however, of the jurisdiction OF the
Senate in such cases is one that had
better be settled and understood now
than at some future time. If when
a person resigns his place the power
to impeaoh him is lost, the President
hereafter will be less hastv and more
cautious in accepting designations IN
times especially when mems charac-
tiers are tumbling in every direction
The President doubtless let Belknap
30 under 3 nliSapprehension OF the
circumstances. He did not consider
that the Constitution is in some re-
spects vague on the question OF i'm
peachment. II the Senate decides
now on the matter, as of course II
will. future Presidents will have a
guide. 1t would be little danger
Gus and decidedly unpleasant to es'
tablish a precedent whereby future
officers might be impeached after the
expiration of their incumbency. y
Senate Ike the present House might
90 back for whole generation anu
lmpcach those of the opposite party
who had held offices. In that case
the very wholesome power repoSed
in the upper branch of Congress
would be subverted to vent party
spite. Senator Conkling holds
this view, and has therefore taken
ground on the negative side of the
proposition.

THERE seem to be fears OF gen
eral disturbance tbroughoutTurkey.
growing out Of the recent massacre
of Christians at Salou;ca. As will
be remembered, this was caused
hv the interference Of some foreign
ers with girl who had concluded
to swap her faith in Christ for be-
lief in the divinity Of Mohammed
The Mohammeians have never
tried very hard to make converts,
bat they have had law that was
calculated TO prevent any succession
from the faith. Upto 1857 they ex
coated any who dared to change
their religion. Since that time all
have been free to embrace Christi
anitv or any other of the many roads
to Heaven. So that when the girl
was intssferea with the Turks may
have looked upon it as an abridg-
ment OF personal liberty which
called for their interference. This
is just n possibility. 1t is more
probable that i. was used IS q pre-
tex; Cor Furnishing the hated Chris
tains. l. will be interesting to
watch for the result.

The latest political news from
New York is to the effect that a union
Of the several reform factions of the
Republican party is about TO be al
tempted. With the view Of defeating
the Custom House ring and all the
machine politicians. The united
forces will use their influence at Gin

a machine candidate This report,

The sun, That paper says good
many things il these days Of politi-
cal excitement that j, will not do u
accept as gospel truths. But there
is nothing apparently improbable in
this story. The reform element in
the Republican party will have an
eve ca the doings of the delegates at
Cincinnati, and il they do not put a
candidate before the people in whose
private character and political rec
ord the utmost confidence can be
placed, that element will take steps
of its own to bring about wha; the
coantry demands. The machine

prived Of bis bread and butter.
Their bread ami butter has come

~ soon there will be an elaborate re
por, submitted to the House showing
how they have been doing il. A
Democratic return to power would
be national calamity, but scarcely
less so than continuance Of Repub-
lican corruption. The only force on
earth to prevent either lies with the
better class, the honest class of Re-
pubiicans who stand ready 10 sup
port such fearless pursuer OF guilt
as Bristow, or such a high-minded
statesman as Blaine.

Tuesday, Oct. 10, witnessed the cole
braliou of the tenth anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. A. G. Adams's wedding. Guests
to the number of nearly $50 assembled at
their residence and left their good wishes,
together with many substantial tokens Of
esteem. Among the articles presented we
noticed chamber set, and extension table
from Rettlng's of Brattleboro. The gifts
included various articles of value, besides
the tin, amounting in all to nearly $40, for
which Mr.. and Mrs. Adams return their
aek nowledgm ents. About 80 couples spent
the evening in dancing. The music was
furnished by Burnett, and it would be su-
pernuous TO add that 1t was splendid. We

by the inhabitants of these wlndham
County hills.

Adams shot two raccoons upon one tree

John Gates and wife, an old couple at
Nottingham, had narrow escape from
possible death, the other night, and Mrs.
Gales thinks it was by the direct inierven-
ton of Providence. Her husband was
calling on a near neighbor, and she was so
burdened with a feeling of danger that
she went after him and got him home, and
then, though 1t was early, TO bed. The light
was hardly out when the windows of their
siiing-room were shattered by volley of
stones, either one of which might have
killed them. Providence or not, the out
rage was most cowardly.
