CIymer's Blunder.

All through the democratic debate it was ap-
parent that the democrats were much troubled to
conceal Hester Clymer's blunder in permitting
the witness Marsh to leave. There were not
few of the leading democrats despite their fulmi-
nations at the President, who felt that Taeyrand's
definition Of political blunder applied: "Blun-
der, there is no blunder," he said, "a blunder is
crime" 1t did not appear from the debate, what
is privately said to be the fact that Marsh took
with HIM the original contracts and the checks
proving the payment to Belknap, and that the
committee only have copies. The democrats ad-
mitted that there was no evidence before the COM
mittee except that which has already been pub
lished.
The Position Of the Republicans
Was defined in one sentence of Blaine What is
the object of these Investigations except to bring
offenders to criminal justice And Blaine dared
the democrats to refuse to permit the evidence to
go before the grand jury to secure Belknap's in
dictment. He defied the democrats to put them
selves behind q technical privilege in order to
place itself q bar to the indictment of Beknap.
He challenged them under the pretext of techni-
cal privilege to close up the doors and destroy the
ends of justice. Blaine reached the climax Of his
very imprisoned speech by the bold defiance, 81
dare, dare that side of the House to refuse it, y
But they did. Kasson and George Hoar also
made strong arguments in favor of sending the
case to the courts but the vote was strict party
one, and of course the democrats carried it.

This event is the more grave because it is con-
frmatoly of the suspicion which has long pre-
vailed among the American people. Even we
Europeans cannot but be struck with the altered
tones in which Americans speak, if not of their
institutions, at least of the men who have the
present direction of them.
From the London Telegraph Of Saturday.
Disclosures after disclosures, charges after
charges, varying in degrees of truth, but with the
same ugly and untoward character, have lately
darkened the commercial religious. Judicial and
administrative institutions Of the United States.

Happily the countries are few where so gross an
abuse Of trust would be possible.

That was a remarkable debate which
took place in the House of Representa-
tives Tuesday. Mr.. Clymer of Pennsyl-
vania stated that he had been subp9naed
before court to testify in regard to
charges pending against the Secretary of
War, and that he had appeared before the
court but had refused to divulge what took
place in the committee room or to give the
court access to the papers on which accu-
sations against Belknap are founded. He
reported the facts to the House he said for
action. Mr.. Blaine expressed surprise at
the course of Clymer. and broadly stated
in substance that if the House endorsed
the position of Clymer and his democrat
ic associates on the investigating commit
tee. it would be putting itself behind its
technical privileges to prevent the indict-
ment OF Belknap. The republican side
sustained the position taken by Mr. Blaine
in favor of giving to the court the testimo-
ny presented in the committee room so
that Belknap might be indicted, but the
democratic side sustained Clymer and
thus probably prevented the indictment of
the accused ex-secretary. Take the pro-
ceedngs of the democrats in the House in
connection with the fact that Marsh fed
Immediately to Montreal after his exam
ination before the eating committee.
and there appears an evident conspiracy
on the part of the democratic side to COW
er up facts which the public ought to
know, and to thwart the ends of justice.
President Grants recent appointments
are of character to commend themselves
to the best judgment OF the people. Rich
ard H. Dana. as Minister to England, will
be an honor to this country. He is every
way worthy of and well adapted to the
position. The offer of the post of Secre-
tary OF War to Judge Hoar, then to Hon.
Lot NJ. Morrill,, and finally to Judge Taft.
who accepted 1t, evinces that the
President understands the feeling of the
republicans for first class men in high
places and his readiness to do what he
can to crafty them in future. Mr.. Nor
rilrs friends regard with satisfaction the
honor shown him in rendering him place
In the Cabinet, but are well pleased that
he rejected the offer and kept his seat in
the Senate.
