by vote of 81 nays to % yeas, reject
ed resolution of Mr.. Paddock that
William w. Belknap, having ceased to
he civil officer Of the United States
by reason of his resignation before pro-
cpedinCS in Impeachment were COM
menced against him Ivy the House of
Representatives, the Senate cannot take
jurisdiction in this case. u was then
decided by the same vote that the said
Belknap is amenable to trial by i'm
parchment for acts done ms Secrt tary Of
War, Notwithstanding his resignation.
It. is believed that the Senate will post
pone Belknap's trial until November
next. The impeachment managers eX-
press the opinion that the trial will Oc-
cupy at least six weeks. To go on with
it Low would proIong the session OF
Congress until the latter part of August
or in the beginning of September, as,in
addition to the time consumed by the
trial, a month or six weeks would he

doubts are expressed by many disnter-

ing voted against it not being precud-

In reference to the big political and
financial pool in which Blaine is said to
have had share, the Washington cor
respondent of the Boston Herald, writ
ing under date of May Goth, says. 1.-The
uncovering of Mr.. .Blane's connection
with the Northern Pacific Railroad
opens up another great pool Of corup-
tiOn which has strangely been kept hid
den here for six years. Jay Cook &
Co. organized a big political and finan-
cial pool, which was nothing more or
less than a Credit Mohier to get the
money to build the railroad. Blaine
had a share IN it, which he received and
held in the name OF j. b. Stewart, who
represented him in the Kansas Pacific
Railroad and other enterprises.
at will he observed by Blane's let
ter to Fisher that he says the whcle
road is divided into twenty-four shares,
OF which Jay Cock & Co. have twelve.
Now it is very well understood here by
those who are acquainted with the in
side history of the Northern Pacific that
these twenty four shares "were placed
where they woul1 do the most good.
Jay Cook ~ Co. made the arrangement
and manipulated the scheme with cap
italists as well as with Congressman.
Twelve of the twenty-1our shares were
placed with capitalists in different sec
tiOns of the country whose standing in
the financial world, as well as their po'
lltical influence, would he serViceable

WASHINGTON, April 20.--Whitley
ex-Chief Of Government Detectives
testified in the committees secret
session yesterday that the Presiden,
had used the secret service fund tc
carry the New York election. He
has given amounts and dates. Elk
Attorney General Williams testified
that he did not know the amounts
used, but that the President had
furnished all the authority and mon.
ey necessary to carry the election in
New York.
The Secretary Of War states that
the condition of affairs in Mexico is
one of great gravity. Advices re.
ceived at the war Office last night
indicated the complete success of the
revolutionists thus far.
WARRINGTON, April FL. - The

ment, no vouchers can be found.

The boats, with the exception of the

SENATOR BArARD.--Mr. Bayard Is
a consistent Democrat who has never
flinched nor wavered. He alone, of
all the able men Of his party, had the
political courage and manly sincerity
to stand up in the Baltimore Conven-
ton in 1872 against the disastrous
blunder of tying the Democratic par
ty us a tail to the Greeley kite. The
result of the election indicated his
forecast and wisdom. Not only did
he keep his head level on that critical
occasion, but he has been equally
firm, self-poised and clearsighted on
every occasion. Senator Bayard has
never made a political mistake or
miscalculation in relation to any i'm
portant subject. On the currency
question he stands almost alone in
never having exhibited the slightest
symptom Of weakness or vacillation
either in the Senate or on the stump.
He did not wait to consult with
friends before deciding whether he
would receive the back pay, but
spurned and refused it at once. He
is a gentleman of such high honor
and robust integrity that he is quite
incapable of hesitation in any point
of conduct which has moral side.
A man whose whole nature thus re-
coils from trimming expediences
commands the respect of his political
adversaries. His character is a shield
which blunts the weapons of partisan
attack, and his chances of election
would be decidedly better than those
OF any other Democratic candidate.

DECENT POLITICAL EVENTS
IL indicate speedy return of the
Democratic party to supreme power in
the nation. The House of Representa-
tiyes is now Democratic by a large
majority; the government of more than
one halt of the States is administered
by Democrats; the party enters upon
the Presidential contest will, the
brightest hopes, and under the most
substantial encouragement.
The wonderful revelations of rascal.
ity and corruption on the part If Re-
publican leaders, which have burdened
the press and mortified the people dur
ing the past three years, make it clear
ly the duty Of every man to take an
active part in the great contest of tho
present year. More than at any pro.
vious time in the history of the coun-
try, q trustworthy daily newspaper is
now necessary to every citizen, in or
der that he may intelligently discharge
his political duties. The CHICAGO
MORNING COURIER is a consistent
Democratic newspaper. It will be de-
voted to the work Of aiding In rescuing
the nation from the party that has de-
bauched it's service, squandered it's
treasure and enslaved its liberties. 1t
will advocate speedy return tn specie
payments, but believes that this result
should be brought about by economical
management Of the Government, and
not by arbitrary enactment. It be-
lieves in greenbacks at par, and the
same currency for the rich and tho
poor. 1t will advocate Home Rule,
Free Trade and public economy, the
old cardinal principles of the Demo.
cratic party.
The Courier has established a wide.
spread reputation as first class news
paper. The aim of its management is
to make it all that the public in these
hurrying days can desire, namely
a complete newspaper. Every facility
known to modern journalism will be
utilized to insure the prompt presenta-
ton of all important intelligence from
all parts of the world, while the utmost
care will be excised to CLEAN only such
as is worth printing. In short, the
Courier will give all the news as
promptly as any other paper, and con-
densed into a more attractive and read
able form than the blanket sheets.

toire. Nobody was allowed to ente,
the building unless provided with q
card. The more privileged spectators
were shown into the body of the TEN.
pie. The others were conducted to the
lateral galleries reserved on Saturdays
for female worshippers.
At ten o'clock a brigade of'police was
sent to keep order among the equip.
ages. The Moorish porch at the en-.
trance of the Synagogue was profnsely
decorated with flowers. In the iuterio,
the ladies assembled on the left side OF
the Temple, while the gentlemen, with
their hats on, congregated to the right
The toilets were much more rich but
less elegant than one sees at fashiona'
ble Catholic weddings. There was q
great display ofjewelry in the bonnets
in which were fastened, instead of the
buckles now worn, rare aud costly
gems.
Shortly after twelve some hundred
tapers, behind seven branched can
dle-stick, were lighted. Their rays,
falling upon the ornaments, produced a
gllttering effect. Then entered, in
Oriental hats aud vestures. lsidore, the
Grand Rabbi of France; Zadoc Kahn,
the Graud Rabbi of Paris; and Rabbi
Bauer, who was to offer wine to the
newly-married couple.
They awaited for some moments the
bridal party in front of baldeqnin
placed on an elevated part of the floor,
and resembling Moorish kiosk. The
Princes and Princesses of the Orleans
family were placed close to the sanctu-
airy. Behind them were the Ministers
of Finance, War and Foreign Affairs,
aud several Generals in plain clothes
When the bride was announced the
rabble went to meet her. She entered,
leaning on the arm of her father, who
kept on his hat, as did the other gen.
tleman in her train. Most persons
rose to look at the yoang lady, who has
won diploma of Governess and who
brings $4,000, 900 francs to ller husband.
She is small and fair.
When the affianced couple assembled
the dais beneath the baldachin the ser.
vice began with a Hebrew canticle
sung by NJ. Levy to the organ &C.

livercd an exhortation, in which he a.
luded tn the great financial power of
the Rothschilds, and spoke of the mar.

united branches of that honsp. The
Rabbi ISilore also made an grafton, in
