COMMENTS OF THE FOREIGN PBEsS.
From the New York Times CFlep.)-
The comments of the foreign press on
the Belknap case begin to b. reported.
I-v French papers open the series by
laInenfing 1.-THE decaience of political
morality in the United States" and we
are likely to hear the changes rung upon
that theme 0d Jlauseam. The fact is
likely to escape these foreign critics that
a time of investigation and exposure is,
so far from being period of decadence,
the very time when political morality
shows sighs of recovery. The era when
the country was in real danger from the
low tone of public morals was when
open and shameless plunder was being
carried on, with but few voices raised ON
the side of honesty.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
Delegates from Hancock County.

By call elsewhere it viii be seen that the
Republican State Convention takes place
Wednesday, March 29ih, for the purpose Of
nominating State ticket and delegates at
large to the National Republican Conven-
ton, which meets at Cincinnati, Wednesday,
June 18th, 1876. 1t has been deemed o.
visable, also, that the delegates present at
the State Convention from their respective
Congressional Districts shall select two del
egates and two alternates to represent the
District in the National Republican Conven-
ton.
Notice is hereby given that all Republi-
cans from Hancock County, in attendance
at the State Convention, shall be entitled to
participate in the proceedings .and cast the
six votes in the Convention to which Han
cock County is entitled under the call for
said State Convention.
In view of the importance of the work
before the Convention, the Committee re-
spectfully urge that large representation
of Republicans be present from this county.
Let every Republican in the county consid-
er himself especially invited, as the impor-
tance of the occasion demands thoughtful,
earnest work.

THE PTRITG DTSGRApE

The corruption which has eliminated
in the resignation of the late Secretary
of War BELKNAP is to be deplored by
every good citizen. But whether or not
those Democrats who have been so for
ward to accuse and ready to investigate,
have acted in good faith and for the
good of the country is rather an open
question. CLYMER, of the Investigating
Committee, has laid himself open to
grave charges in permitting MARSH, the
prosecuting witness, to be discharged, and
is also begins to look now as if Hon.
GEO. II. PKNDLEToN was as deep in the
mud as BELKNAP is in the mire But
your average Democratic politician can
only see one side of the question and the
major part of the Democratic press
the Courier among the number-will
only lay before their readers that side
1t is silly to talk about BELKNAP having
been a lifelong Democrat, and an ap-
pointee of ANDREW JOHNSON before he
took the portfolio as the War Minister
under Gen. GRANT. He is an appointee
under the present Administration, and
it is to some extent responsible for his
official acts, just as BUcHANAN's Admin
istration was responsible, when its War
Secretary, JOHN b, FLOYD, proved de-
faulter to the extent of hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
The Republican party is able and will
ling to investigate corruption in its own
ranks, and before this investigation is
over, we hazard the assertion that the
discovery will be made that corruption
is not confined to party limits.

The formation of new business rels-

that which has existed for the past seven
years between the patrons of the JEFF
FERsoNIAN and myself, as one of the
editors of that paper. 1t is idle here to
express the regrets that 1 feel in with
drawing from position in which have
formed many true friendships, and from
a circle of acquaintance whose many
acts of kindness and good cheer have
contributed so largely to whatever of
nection with the JEFF. Whatever, in
the dealings of Providence, the future
may have in store for me, l shall not
soon forget the happy associations con-
nected with my brief residence among
the people of Hancock county, and
shall ever regard with just and honest
pride tine many expressions of good will
which have been rendered me in taking
leave.

past seven gears. l leave it in the hands
of one who has been the largest contrib
utor to whatever of progression it has
made with full confidence that its fu-
ture will be characterized by the same
spirit of progress and improvement as its
past.

IT is with no ordinary feelings of sad
ness and regret that we, in common with
our patrons, will read the above an
nouncement. While our readers will
feel that they have lost one who has la
bored earnestly and effectively for the
cause of Republicanism and the success
of the JEFFERsoNIAN, to us it means the
severing of relations that have continu-
ed almost without interruption for thir
teen years. In his new field of labor
our brother has our best wishes for sue
cess, and to those who know him he
needs no Endorsement from u.s. He
does not go altogether among strangers,
and we feel that the success he merits
will be secured, and that is all we ask
for him. K. g. DEWoLFE.
