A CABINET CHANGE.
POstmaster.eieMer Jewell Res

POstnnaster-Genera Jewell Resigns.
By Associated Press
WASHING TON, July 11.-Another i'm
portant Cabinet change has taken place. At
the request Of President Grant, Postmaster
General Jewell has resigned his position.
The announcement creates much comment
and speculation.
A few days ago, when Postmaster-Gencral
Jewell was asked as to the truth of the re-
port that he intended TO resign, he laugh.
ingly said that, so far from the report being
true he expected to rema in in his place un-
til this end Of the present administration
Tomorrow, it is understood, the Prcsi-
dent will appoint J. N. Tyner, the present
Second Assistant Psstmaster-General, to
succeed Mr.. Jewell in the Cabinet position.
Yesterday afternoon, however, after call
ing at the Executive Mansion to transact
some business with the President, the latter,
much to the surprise of the Postmaster
General, informed him that his resignation
would be accepted. Therefore Mr.. Jewell
Immediately wrote letter of resignation.
The most intimate friends of Mr.. Jewell
are unable to account for the action of the
President, except on the ground of political
considerations

Political Notes.

Campaigns begin early in the West. The
Illinois Democratic State convention is to be
held at Springfield July q. The Missouri
Republican Convention will be held at JEFF
ferson City August 9.
Gen. A. H. Colquit, according to the At
lanta Constitution, has secured more than
two-thirds of the delegates so far chosen to
the Georgia Democratic State Convention,
and is likely to receive the nomination for
Governor.
The Oswego, N. Y. Gazette says: This
nomination is complete vindication of the
earnestness of the liberal Democracy in the
cause of administrative reform against the
aspersions of the corrupt leaders of the Re
publican party"
The Kansas City Times says: '!Henceforth
Reform is the all absorbing issue of the cam
paign, and we propose to spell it always
with an initial capital, because there ought
to be, and is supposed to be, an immense
amount of capital in it,"
The Baltimore Gazette says" :"When uncle
Sammy gets into the white house, which he
will if he lives until the 4th of March next,
he will make the corruptionists and thieves
wish he had never been born. He has rod
in pickle for all of them, and no one knows
how to use it better"
The New York World says: "Governor
Hayes long expected letter of acceptance
has at last appeared. The most obvious
criticism on it is that 1t has been carefully
constructed by the party managers for po-
litical effect, and that there is not one hearty
outspoken word in it from beginning TO end.
The candidate, naturally, we believe, plain
straightforward sort of man, moves among
his themes like juggler dancing on eggs" !"

The Stewart viii Case.
By Associated Press,

by ASSOCIHItU ITGsS,
New YORK, July 11.-Surrogatc Calvin
to-day dismissed the petition of James
Bailey and others, alleged blood-rclatiops
of the late A. T. Stewart, to have the pro-
bate of the will of Mr.. Stewart opened SO
that petitioners could contest the will. The
Surrogate says, it would be an unwise
exercise Of judicial discretion of the Court
to open probate when no good could inurc
to the petitioners, and when it would be
likely to throw discredit upon the tenure of
the real estate devised TO Mrs. Stewart, and
paralyze the greater enterprises now in
progress.

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL
The Belknap impeachment.
BY Associated Press,

By Associated Press. :"
WASHINGTON, July 11.-In the Belknap
impeachment to-day, G. P. Marsh tes ,ified
that there was no agreement between him
and Belknap to the effect that Belknap
should be paid for appointing Evans Post
Trader at Fort Stills.
So Ear as you know, was not the only in
ducement to making that appointment the
kindness with you and your wife showed
to Mrs. Bellknap as your houses
Answer.-That certainly had great
deal to do with it.
Witness further testified that althou gh
he sent the money to Belknap without any
distinct understanding, the Secretary never
inquired about the source of the remittan-
ces. He had had a conversation with Mrs.
Bowers, the present Mrs. Belknap, on the
night of the funeral of the late Mrs. Bel
knap. Mrs. Bowers asked the witness to
60 up stairs with her to see Mrs. Belknap' S
baby. The witness, when up stairs with
her, ,as near as he could remember, said that
child will have money coming to it after
awhile. Mrs. Bowers replied yes,my sister
gave me the child and told me there was
money coming to it from you, and must
take in and Keep it for her. The witness
was not sworn as to the rest of the CONVEX
sation but he replied, all right, though the
father ought to be consulted. Mrs. Bowers
replied, if the money was sent to General
Belknap she would get it for the child.
The child died in the spring of 1871, but
Marsh still forwarded the money.
General Hazen was recalled and
cross-examined. The defense seeking
to prove that Hagen was under impression
that Belknap was inimical to him and that
he Hazen acted from some motive other
than good of the service.
The prosecution then announced they
would close if the defense would allow them
the privilege of examining Evans, when de-
fense called him; if not, then they would
have to keep the prosecution open until
Evans arrived.
Carpenter refused to agree, and pending
the discussion, the Senate, sitting as Court,
&c, adjourned until to- morrow.
The Legislative business resumed.
House bill for the relief of John 8. Dick
son, late captain of paroled prisoners was
passed. Adjourned.

By Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, July II, Midnight
There is no tidings yet of Gen. Crooks
command, and nothing to confirm the re-
port of his massacre. The last heard from
him was on the 2Sth Of June, at which time
the Indians were apparently getting out OF
his way, but were in great numbers, and
were elated by their recent butcheries. A
courier could travel, if not waylaid, from
where Crook was last heard from, to Fort
Fettcrman, the nearest telegraph point, in
about seventy hours. Dispatches of to-
day from Fort Fetterman say that nothing
has been heard from Crook.

Regarding the Democratic attempt to i'm
peach Governor Ames, in Mississippi, the
correspondent of the Graphic says: ut is
asserted that the great otfense Of the Gov
ernor is his refusal to sign the credentials
of Senator elect Lamar, which refusal was
based on the illegality of the Legislature
which elected him. Governor Ames openly
stated that the State was carried by fraud
and intimidation, and that the Legislature
elected by such means was no Legislature

term. Hence tho effort to Dust him, which

regarding Pendleton: "The committee

testimony be impeached, he will be afforded
ample opportunity for reply" That is as
it should be. 1t has been reported that be-

because no opportunity was given Belk-
nap to disprove the charges against him;
that the committee are disposed to act un-
fairly. OF course it makes difference
when the wrong OK is gored; but justice is
commendable, even it it is only used to-
ward Democratic prisoners.
