WAsHiNGroS, April "a, 1876.
The impeachment Of the cX-sccrctary
OF war was commenced on Monday and
promises to continue for weeks, if not for
months. AS was expected Gen. Belknap
filed n plea TO the jurisdiction Of the
court that lac being a private citizen of
the United States, and OF the State OF
Iowa, the senate could have no jurisdc-
ton In the case, Two days later the
managers OF the part Of the house filed a
replication to this plea, insisting that the
senate, by the constitution had sole luris-
dictlon OF the case, since at the time the
offences were committed and for DAYS
thereafter w. w. Bclknap was secretary
Of war.
The counsel for the accused will, ON
Monday, file rcjoinder to this replica
ton, to which a sur-reioinder will most
probably be filed by the prosecution, or
they may demur and join Issue, in which
case the opposing legal giants will try

for Gen. Belknap, Ex-senator Carpenter

has given 1t. His personal explanation of
Monday has finished the business for him,
and very few Republicans even think he
has any real chance now for the Cincin-
natl nomination. IL has been known to
many Of the leaders of the party Tor some
time that his transactions with the Union
and Kansas Pacific railroad boards of
directors were wholly indeiensiblc and II
has only been a matter of time for the
whole thing TO become equally
apparent to the general public.
Seven months ago, and long before the
conference ut Cincinnati between Smith.
Mcdil, Boynton and others, several of The
leading and active working members OF
the party here went to Mr.. Blaine and
laid before him iull statement OF the
facts which had been brought to their
knowledge. Blaine was requested TO
give an explanation that would assure
them that these ugly stories could De at
once and satisfactorily denied, whenever
they were raised by the Democrats. The
answers which he made then were every
thing else but satisfactory. and the con
clusion was irresistible that IL he could
not convince his political and personal
friends. who were not only willing but
anxious To believe his innocence, any ct.
fort to explain the thing to the people
would he certain and ig1ominiousiailure.
Mondays iiasco has, therefore, been
nothing OF Il surprise to those Republic
cans who have been apprised of these
facts. Before the indianapolis Sentinel
published the story of the SGl, 900 loan
1t was known that the blow had only Ia
be struck to kill him politically. There
Is still some talk among his friends of
preserving the Blaine party and of using

Wheeler has been sort of reserve candi-
date all along, and has only been held
back for the reason that he was thought
not to be well enough known to be alto

the accepted speaker of the house if the
Republican party should regain its con
