Marsh Tells Why Hc Ran Away.
Washington Associated Press telegram


G. p. Marsh was recalled and inter-
rogated by Clymer. He testified that
he left Washington for New York on the
day the impeachment report was pre-
scented, the I'd of March, and did not
design going to Canada.
Question-On the evening of Wednes-
day, you came to my lodging and saw
me moment. Tell what transpired.
Answer-From something said at the
dinner table, inferred that Belknap was
not only liable to impeachment, but to q
criminal prosecution. 1 said to you /:
>, If the Secretary is in danger, 1 am in
d anger" when you said, "Oh, you are
not IN danger"
Clymer-I did not attempt to alarm
you?
Answer-On the contrary, you pacitied
me. / was alarmed when 1 came to you.
1 went back to New York easy, when
you said there was no danger.
Question-When you reached New
York, what induced you to conclude
upon going to Canadai
Notwithstanding in the newspapers
of Friday morning concerning my testi-
mony, all of which was published. 1
read the remarks in the House, that the
Secretary of War was not only liable to
impeachment, but to a criminal prosecu-
ton. therefore thought that if the
Secretary was in danger, was in danger
as well. consulted lawyer, who made
an exhaustive examination of the case.
The lawyer did not think could be in
dicted; but if should be, 1 could not
be convicted. His counsel said there
seemed, however, to be some danger.
This very much alarmed me, and de-
termined not to remain in New York. L
left early in the afternoon of Friday for
Montreal. This was the first time 1
heard it said that had committed an
offense for which I might be imprisoned.

The Rio 6rande-..A Vigorous Policy
Recommended.

A Washington dispatch says: The
special committee appointed to investi-
gate the alleged outrages on the Mexican
border held full meeting to-day, and
adopted the report previously prepared
by ita chairman, Schleicher. The con-
illusions of this report have heretofore
been published. The committee also
voted unanimously to report joint reso-
luton authorizing and directing the
President to send at once to the Rio
Grande frontier, in addition to the in
fantry doing garrison duty there, two
full regiments of the best cavalry, each
regiment to consist of twelve companies,
and each company of 100 men. In order
to fill these regiments up, as they now
have only about 400 men each, the
President is authorized to recruit suffi-
cient number. The second section di-
reefs the President to order the COM
mander of the United States troops on
the border to cross the Rio Grande
whenever it is necessary for the purpose
of furnishing cattle-thieves and muir
derers and recovering stolen property.
This joint resolution will be reported to
the House in few days, as the commit
tee by the resolution creating it was au-
thorized to report at any time.

me Attorney General Relates to the Ju-
dietary Con,mittee the History Of his In
struosions % District-Attorneys.
An Associated Press Telegram from
Washington says: Attorney General
Pierrepont was before the Judiciary
Committee to-day in regard 70 the ex-
ecutive interference with the late crook
ed whisky trials in the West. Pierre
points account Of his circular Letter IL
sued to District-Attorneys is that the
President was very much disturbed at
the constant receipt OF newspaper slips
and letters and personal statements Civ
ing information of attempts on the part
of Government officials In the West to
compromise fraud on the revenue, and
that the President spoke to him on five
or six different occasions, expressing his
fear that such things, if allowed, would
bring scandal on the administration.
Pierrepont himself was rather inclined
to treat these statements as exaggera-
tions, and did not believe that the Dis
trictrAttorneys or special counsel of the
Government would be guilty of any
thing improper In the matter. He had,
therefore, rather warded off the Presi-
dents advances until finally the Presi-
dent suggested that the Attorney Gen
eral had better write to the District-At-
torneys on the subject. Pierrepont had,
therefore, prepared and forwarded let
ter couched, as he said, in terms that
were rather tame. Nobody had made
or suggested draft of this letter, and
he had not submitted it to the Presi-
dent. In fact, the President knew
nothing of it for three or four days
afterward, when he asked Pierrepont
whether he had taken any action in the
matter, and then he told him he had
written this letter, and he sent him a
copy OF it. A couple of days afterward,
on discovering that the letter nd been
published in the Chicago Times on the
LIST of February, himself and Mr.. Bris-
tow expressed great indignation in the
presence of the President ut the gross
improperly of giving publicity to it,
and then the President, who did not
manifest any feeling whatever on the
subject, remarked that he had never read
the letter. Pierrepont further stated
that Gen. Babcock admitted to him on
the 9TH of March that he was instru-
mental in giving publicity to Ghe letter,
and defended himself on the ground
that they were trying to destroy him,
and that he had the right to defend him
self. He (PierreponD called the Presi-
dents attention the next day to Bah
cock admission. The committee want
ed to know why Babcock did not call for
a court of inquiry to ascertain whether
he had been guilty of conduct unbecom-
ing an officer and gentleman whether
he was still Commissioner of Public
Buildings and Grounds, etc., but Pierre
pont was unable to give information on
those points"

Almost Incredible.

Having occasion to send private dis
patch to Paris last evening, the writer OF
this paragraph, while in the Office of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, ex-
pressed some curiosity to have demon
strated the rapidity with which under
favorable circumstances a transmission
could be made over the cable and the
connecting land wires between this city
and the French capital. Within thirty
minutes from the moment of this con-
versation the following note was deliy-
cred at the office of the North Anaeri-
can:
Clayton McNrichael:
DEAR SIR: Your cable this evening was in
Paris in Just eleven I'D minutes from the time
you sent it to the operating-room-1O:46 p. m,
our time. Truly yours, j. Il. ZEuBIIN,
Night manager, Third and Chestnut.
When it is considered that this won
derful rapidity was reached without pre-
vious preparation of any sort, without
arranging through circuit for the special
purpose, and that the message passed
through the ordinary channels, it is diff
fcult to find proper EXPIRE sion for the
admiration excited by so great progress
in science.-PhiLadelphia Gazette.

ThrOat.ROt i'm Congress.

Throat-rot is what some of our learned
doctors call the disease that SO affiicts
congressman just Mt this time. We have
had fourteen of them, Fernando Wood
and Sunset Cox included, down with this
malignant disease within a week. And
j t was not at all comforting to be told by
the Washington press that two of these
Congressmen came very near dying.
And then there was touch of true in
nocence in the theory set forth by these
lively Washington newspapers that all
this throat-rot among congressman was
caused by the presence of the uncleanly
negroes who daily infest the galleries of
the House of Representatives.
We must look beyond Sambo and into
our costly sewers for the cause of all this
dangerous wickedness. These malig-
nant throat diseases, with pneumonia,
diphtheria, and what closely resembles
a very bad type of ship fever, Washing
ton has been seriously afflicted with for
several weeks. They are not confined
to the Capitol and congressman, but
prevail to an alarming extent all over this
city. Many who were not in the Capt.
toll this winter have been victims to it
some of them having died.
About two months ago a well-known
engineer of this city, who has made the
subject of drainage a study, told your
correspondent that two of the main
sewers were choIed, and that unless
soon relieved the atmosphere of the city
would be filled with sewer gas, and the
people poisoned to death. That is what
is the matter now Washington Cor.

POLITICAL POINTS.

Four Iowa Congressmen-Kasson. McCrary,
McDin and Ainsworth-decline a renomina-
ton.
The Republicans of New York, in convention
at Syracuse last week, appointed delegation
to the National Convention at Cincinnati, and
instructed them to vote Tor Roscoe Conkling
for President. The platform declares " for
sound currency Of coin, or paper convertible
into coin, and for common schools absolutely
free from sectarian influence"
The Democratic State Convention of Penn
platform was adopted demanding the repeal
of the Resumption act, which is characterized
as /" deliberate proclamation that at that date
the United States will go into bankruptcy. 1t
paralyzes industry, creates distrust of the
future, turns the laborer and producer out of
employment, is standing threat upon BUSH
ness men, and ought to be forthwith re-
pealed !" declaring that gold and silver are
the only true basis for the currency of the
Republic, and that Congress should take such
steps for the resumption of specie payments as
will most surely and speedily reach that result
without destroying the business interests of
the people. An uupledged delegation was
chosen to the st. Louis Convention.
Certain Congressman Of both parties are agi-
tating the question of the formation Of a nom
partisan compromise ON the finance question.
The plan proposes the re-enactment of the law
allowing holders of United States notes in
sums of $50 ard upward to fund them into
four per cent. gold bond, the notes thus funded
to be cancelled and destroyed.
George William Curtis, editor Of Hdrper's
Weekly, and of the Easy Chair" in Ha'pers

the Cincinnati Convention. Curtis made a
hard fight in the Syracuse Convention against
instructing for Conkling, but was overruled.
