| General Sherman said in regard
TO the Belknap affair: Il am aston
ished beyond measure. l have
known Belknap a long time ant
never had occasion to doubt hi'
integrity. know that his previou
record is without a blot. He ha'
always been regarded as man o
scrupulous honor. Of course l do
not know the cause of this demon
alization, but having lived il
Washington during his tenure o
office, can form pretty good idei
of it. In my opinion his downfall
is due more to the vicious organ
iZation OF Washington society thar
ANYTHING else." He further sale
that there are but two Cabinet of
ficers who can live up to the styl'
required by Washington society, OF
their salaries. Secretary Fish ha
an income of $500, 900 a year Mr.
Chandler also has large privat'
fortune, that his salary is no object
He says there are more than l5'

Mount Vernon and Its Repairs.

The Baltimore "Gazette" says: "It
ia understand that the house OF
Washington at Mount Vernon, is to
be put in through repair before the
arrival of visitors to the Centennial,
after plans drawn by Mr.. Van
Camper Taylor, the architect, OF
New York. Mr.. Taylor visited the
homestead recently, and is now en-
gagged in drawing plans Of the entire
building, so that IN case ofdestruction
by fire it may be rebuilt exactly as 1T
now stands. Along the entire east
side of the house runs high piazza
facing the river. The length of this
is ninety four feet, and the width
fourteen. The balustrade above the
piazza is somewhat rotted, and re-
uuires to be rebuilt, and the same
kind of wood will be employed in
the reconstruction as was originally
used. At the south end of the house
and opening from Washington's IL
brary, there is portico about ten
by sixteen feet in size. This was
erected about the year 1890, when
Washington added two wings to the
original house of Lawrence Wash
ington. This too, is to be rebuilt,
and the necessary repairs will be
made early in the coming spring.
On this piazza stand the pillar and
the bell with which Washington
used to summon his horse, which
Washington kept saddled and bridled
in readiness for his call.

EDITORIAL NOTES.


tiers, the other day, married Gen
tile. The prophet professed to for
give her and invited her home on
visit. She went, and is now a pris-
oner, and her husband is not allowed
to visit the house. There's more
work for Congressman Poland-if he
hadn't been elected to stay at home.
The Democratic organs who have
hated Grant ever since they Joined in
the cry, Anything to beat Grant,"
are going for him now for accepting
Belknap's resignation. In previous
instances where parties have been I'M
dergoing investigation, they have
been equally troubled because Grant
would not force the suspected parties
to resign. They are like the drunken
man who was going home in the
''wee sma' hours" Said he: 'If
TIL ole oman has gone to bed, I'll
Ticker for not keeping fire, and if
she hain't, I'll Ticker for sitttin' up
an burnin' ile.'
When Belknap found he was sure
to be exposed by Marsh, he went to
President Grant and told him part
Of the facts, just enough to make
tine President believe that Mrs, B. was
the guilty party and that Belknap
proposed to take the blame himself
He then rendered his resignation,
and the President, believing Belknap
to be the soul of honor. respecting
his desire to shield his wife, accepted
his resignation. Had the President
realized Belknap's guilt, the most
jealous and blatant Grandfather does
not believe he would have accepted
the resignation. General Grant, gen.
erous to fault, knowing that lie
would be attacked and villified by a
venomous press as an alder in the es-
cape Of criminal, but believing
Belknap to be the innocent victim OF
his wife's cupidity, exposed himself
to the abuse sure TO follow and &C
cepted the resignation. 1t was the
act of a generous, self,sacriticing
man to help false friend.
