The decision Of the Senate that it has
jurisdiction in Belknap's case may not per-
haps have as far-reaching consequences as
might seem to follow. 1t settles the ques-
ton that person out of Office may be i'm
peached and tried, but it does not decide
that no lapse of time can operate as bar.
Secretary Belknap resigned to escape i'm
parchment, which was imminent at the
time he offered his resignation. This
is very much rs if he had re-
signed after articles Of impeach-
mcnt had been found, or had resigned
during trial by the Senate. It stands to
reason that culprit should not be per-
mitted to slip his neck out of the moose
when it is beginning to tighten upon him.
But it does not thence follow that persons
who have long been out Of Office by the ex-
piration of their terms, or by removal, or by
designations having no reference to impeach-
ment proceedings, would come within the
Jurisdiction of the Senate. If any such
case--like the impeachment of Will
iams or Delano, or the impeachment
of the secession members of President
Buchanan's Cabinet-should come up, the
question of jurisdiction would be debated
anew, and it is probable that q claim to juris-
diction would be relinquished Belknap's
resignation to avoid impeachment brings his
case within the rule, or at least very close to
the rule, that an officer cannot escape by re-
signing while proceedings were pending
against him. The decision of the Senate
must be interpreted with reference to the
immediate case before it.
The opinion that those Senators who voted
against jurisdiction will necessarily vote for
acquittal in the trial is quite unwarranted.
Mr.. Belknaps guilt or innocence must be
decided on the evidence, and the Senators
who voted against jurisdiction are as much
bound by the evidence as if they had voted
the other way on the preliminary question.
They arc in the position of q jury which
must accept the decision of the court on
points of law. They are bound to surrender
their individual opinion on the point Of
jurisdiction and to give their votes on the
trial precisely as they would if no question
of jurisdiction had been raised.
