Ordinary citizens growled at the imbe-
cilty of Congress, but the inventors
calmly set their wits to work, snd with
such good result that we are already noti'
fed that IA United States patent congress
will meet q. Philadelphia on September
Sth." Unless the new Congress Is an I'M
provement on what we have been accus-
toned to, it is not likely that anybody
would go to the trouble and expense Of
pa:entingit, so We may fairly anticipate
the experimental session of September
Sth, as the dawn of new era in Con-
gress making.

WHEELING FEMALE CoLLEGE.-As
will be seen by an advertisement in
another column, the Wheeling Female
College, under the able principaIship OF
Miss A. Taylor, viii! open on Wednes-
day, September 9th, for the Fall session.
Under the control of this lady during
the past year it was thoroughly
successful in every particular. This
season number of improvements
will be added to the school, anieng
which will be the kindergarten, and
skilled educators in the musical and liter.
airy departments have been engaged.
Upon examination the people of Wheel
ing will find this as good an institution
to send their daughters to as can be
found in the country.

next, which, we imagine, will be one OF
the plesssntest affairs of the season. 1t
is not AN exclusively Presbyterian mat
ter, as the managers have most cor
daily invited sister churcbss to unite
with them, so we hope that mem-
bers of other denominations will do
honor to this courtesy by accepting the
invitation so freely given. The large
and beautiful grove in which the picnic
will DO held, is, we understand, within
hundred yards of the CHARTERS
depot: and as it is only just on the edge
of the town, it will be an easy mat
ter to obtain shelter in case OF rain.
The fare is extremely low, and the
trains leave and arrive at conveDIeL t
hours, so we.think that those OF our citi-
zens who enjoy a day in the woods, can
not do better than to avail thems elves OF
this opportunity. Large delegations are
expected from Pittsburgh and this city,
and we hope that the representation from
Steubenville will be of such size as 10
do credit 10 that city.

THE Republicans in the house are
evidently much distress ad over the Bel
KNAPP misfeEsance, and are at loss to
know how to break its force and effect
upon the country. Toe first attempt in
this direction was made in the house on
Tuesday, and as the readers Of the AP.
PEAL Of yesterday were able to see for
themselves, was s signal failure. Blaine
took the floor and lead in vain attempt
TO fasteh upon the Democratic msiority
a concealed purpose in the refusal of
Clymer and one Of his colleagues to sub.
nit TO an examination st the hands of
the grand jury OF the District, no doubt
composed Of Boss Shepherds partisans
and Bsiknap's cronies. But as Lamar
suggested, when tainted by Blaine with
this covert purpose, it was plain that the
pArlismentariRn from Maine, was seek
ing to aid Grant in his determination TO
defeat the ends Of justice. Aiding this
purpose OF Blaine, the streets and
the capital itself were filed

Democrats with Belknsp's crimes, and

THE Chicago Tribune in timely edi-
torial, suggested by the BeIkI APP crime,
calls attention to the fact this is the first
time in the history Of the country when
an executive officer has been impeached
o. a charge of personal dishonesty. The
case of Edmund Randolph, who sue
oeedad ThnmRs Jefferson as secretary of
stste in Washingten's cabinet, is adj
duced by the Tribune IS one Of the most
re charitable instances OF escape from
merited punishment fH a great official
crime. Randolph made overtures to
the French minister Of that day for loan
for four men who he said could save the
country from the rsvagas of civil war
[Pennsylvania insurrectiOn of 1891, the
fuuds to be used in sheltering them from

Randolph was to continue his
opposition to a treaty then being
negotiated by Jay with Great
Britain, and to which France was
opposed. A dispatch to that effect,
thrown from a French vessel and recov-
cred by an English sailor belonging to
a British ship in pursuit, was forwarded
t. President washington, who confronted
Randolph with it in presence Of his
cabinet, and the result was his resigna-
ton. In the time of General jackson
there wss an accusstion of corruption
made through the papers against Sam
uel ID. lngham, who had been secretary
OF the tress ury. 1t was made by the
friends Of General Eaton, who had re-
manned in the cabinet as secretary Of
war. Ingham repealed the charge, and
was subsequently assaulted on the street |
by Eaton. There was some talk Of cor
luption against cabinet officers under |
General Taylor, growing out Of the al
lowance Of the Golphip, Gardner, and |
other Claims-large for that day-but |
nothing came Of it. Frauds under |
President Buchanan slso formed ore Of |
the staples Of the Lincoln canvass, but |
they were never successfully main
taineG. AT later day, the
house OF representatives., in 1852,
passed 8 series Of resolutions censuring
Simon Cameron, secretary OF war, for
corruptions prsetieed in the service, but
no action was taken looking to impeach-
ment. At still later day, committees
OF congress investigated accusations of
fraud involving the administration of
the naval department by Secretary Robe
son, the Indian service by Secretary
Delano, the war department by Secre-
tary Belknap, and the Chorpenning
case by Postmaster-Genersl Cresswell.
But the worst Of all is the last case fur
nished by Belknsp, whom the Rspubli.
cans in congress are anxious to seve,
even in the fsce Of his own confession of
crime,

MEMPHIS APPEAL
THURSDAY. MARCH ., 1876.

THE leading journals Of Europe are
busy in comments On the fall OF Bel
KNAPP, most Of what they say being any,
. thing tut complimentary to the ''model
republic" The English papers forget
the greed OF gain that consigned Bacon
to infamy, the corruption Of Walpole
aud the svaTice Of Marlborough, whose
wife Sarah was equal to any emergency
for money. And later still, and nearer
the throne, they fail to recall the scan
dial in London when the prince regent
was in danger of impeachment and q
Mrs. Clarke was found to have enriched
herself by her ascendency over the
Duke OF York, then commander-in-
chief Of the British forces, which en-
abled her to sell commissions and APP
pointments. The French papers, too,
forget what was proven by the Due
d'Auiiffret-Pasguier as to the jobbery
under the third Napoleon, which
led to the fall Of the empire and the dis
grace Of France. The soldiers
who surrendered at Sedan and
Strasbourg, and who have sur
vived the shame Of those events, re-
member the shoddy shoes and clothing,
and that even the fixed ammunition
was 50 defective as to be unfit for use
France and England have clearly no
room to crow over us. Our shame is q
sad and sorrowful thing TO contemplate.
But we make free confession Of 1t, and
will punish it to the extent of the law,
and 90 make such repsrstion as is with
in our reach. We will make an exam
pie Of Belknap and send him down to
posterity branded as the criminal he is,
and perhaps his master With him.

PACIFIC RAILROAD,
Senator DOrsey's BIII-A Tight Paper

WASHINGTON, March = Senator
Dorsey's bill, Smendatory Of the Pacific
railroad laws, asserts in a preamble that
the Central Pacific railroad company
has improperly increased its capital
stock, its intere t-bearing securities and
its Liabilities for or on account of branch
roads, steamboat lines and other proper
ties without the authority Of congress,
and without q corresponding increase Of
It's real and personal property; and that
such setion is designed to prevent or
postpone for a long time action on the
part OF the government in liking tariff
rates, as the eighteenth section of the
law OF July !, 1852, authorized when
ever its net earnings should exceed ten
per cent. on the actual cost of said road
between Ogden and Sacramento. The
bill therefore proposes TO restrain the
issue or sale Of any mere obligations of
the company secured by mortgage on
the main line or lands granted by the
United States to aid its construction.
The bill also requires detailed state
ment OF all the company's receipts and
expenditures up to December 81, 1875, to
be filed with the secretary of the inte-
Tior, and provides that the net receipts
shall be applied ~ to the payment Of
the interest On frst-mortgate bonds on
the main line, and the creation Of a
sinking fund; ~ to the nsyment Of the
Interest on bonds sllsged to
have been issued and thus secured
without authority, and ~ to the pur-
CT ase and retirement Of all Of the last
class OF bonds. Finally, it is made the
guy OF the commission-cOnsistiDg of
the attorney general, secretary of the
interior, and three citizens to be named
