PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE. BELKN.PS CASE. THE BIGOEST DAT'tV'WOBK OF THE SESSION REf.OLUIIO9 XR THE IMPEACHMENT OF BKLKSAP OFFERED A LENGTHY DEBATE ON PÄ IMPEACH ABILITY THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED WITHOUT DISSENT. At tbe cloof Mr. Wood' fpeecü, and without f(twn on the bill, tbe committee rot.p, and Mr. Clyiner, of Pa., presented a resolution ot impeachment against Wm. W. Belirap, Ifta secretary cl wsr, for bieb. trlmes acd misdemeanors in cfn In tbe midst of preat exciteraett and lth tinasual stillocai in tbe House, Mr. Clyrapr rose andsa'.d: I ak permisBlon oi th House to make a report from the committee on expenditure s in tbe war

department cf bo grave importance mat i am quite certain that when it is hf ard this. House will azree that I am fntt tied in asking that permission a tlm time. Permission was given and Mr. Clym6r, taking bis position at tbe c.erk s disk, READ THE FOLLOWISO RKrORT: Toe committ.e loand at tbe very threshold of it investigation auch ucqueit'cced evidence of malfeasance of Gee. Wm. W. Belknap, then secretary of war that Ibey found it their duty to lay the arne before tbe Hon. Tbty further re port that this day. at 11 o'clock, a letter oi tbe president of the United States waa pre sented to tbe committee accepting tbe res isoktionot the secretary of war, together with a copy of his letter of resignation, which the (resident informed tbe committee was acojpted. Abont 10:20 tbta morning, they therefore ncaoimotsly agreed to report and demand ttiat tt eeaid Wm. W. Belknsp, late secretary of war, bed at with according to tbe law ol the lad.To that end tby submit herewith the t'Btimocy taken in the case, together with the several stat?ments and exhibits thereto attached, and also are part of tbe proceed ings of the committee bad during tbe in estimation of this subject, and submit tbe folio wioe resolutlora: Resolved. That Wm. W. Belknap, lata secretary ' oi war, be impeached ol bigb crimes and misdemeanor.. Resolved, That taa testimony in the case of Wm. W. Belknap, late eecrstary of war, ba referred to tbe judiciary committee with instructions to prerara and report, without unnecessary delay, suitable articles of impeachment of tbo said William W. Belknap, late secretary of war. Resolved, That a committee oi five members of tbe ilcne be appointed and instructed to proceed Immediately to the bar of tbe Senate and there impeach William W. Belkaap, late secretary of war, in te name ot tbe people of tbe United Stat, ot biza crimes and misdemeanors wtea in cfli-'P, and to Inform that body that formal articles of impeachment will in cue time be presented, and to request tbe Senate to take such order in tbe premiss s as they des in appropriate Mr. Clymtr then proceeded to read tbe TESTIMONY OF CALEB P. MARSH, taken jet?rday te.'cre tbe committee, snowlDg that he bai paid Secretary Belke apa bout 30,COO in cor Blderation of his appointment as post trader at Fort Sill, Indian Territory. The reading was listened to with intens interest by tbe members of the House and by tbe large audienca In tbe galleries. In tbe mcrd gatbetic pcrtioLS of tbe narrative, lymer was freqneLtly forced by bis feelings to pause until bis voice recovered from its tremnloosness and himself from hla agitation. At the close ol tue reading, and after matiy members, who bad tiken up a position ut ar tbe clerk's desk tbe better to hear tbe testimony and accompanying statements, bad returned to their prrpar seat?, Mr. Clymer, who bad also gone to hU seat, again rose and said, with great emotion: Mr. Spaaktr, I would not if I could, and I could not in my present condition, If I would, add anything to tbe facts jutu reported to the House. Another occasion may be afforded me to do the one so plainly that everywhere trroughont this broad land and throughout Christendom, wherever tbe Eazlisn language is read cr spoken, they will lor long years constitute a record of official corruption and crimes, euch aa there la no naral 1 for in our own blatcry or in that of any country that I know or. At this hour, If ONE SENTIMENT OF PITT, one word of sympathy could fand utterance from me it wonld be becauso I feel that tbe late secretary of war is but tbe proper outgrowth, the true exponent of tbe corruption, extravagance and the misgovernment that have cur.-ed this land for yean pas';. That being my own reflection, 2 will but discharge my duty to myself and this House by demanding tbe previous question on tbe adoption of tbe resolution. Mr. Kassoo, . of J aM appealed to Mr. Clymer to give an eppor. unity for Borne suggestions to be made before asking for the previous question on a matter cf so grave importance. Mr. Clymer regretted that be could not oblige bis friend (several democratic member a yep, yes,) and lor tbe reason that bis colleagues on tbe committee desired to be beard. ; Atter tbe previous question was seconded, Mr. Kassoo said: Allow me. to eay that there will not be the slightest opposition to their being all beard. - Mr. Clymer I decline to yield and demand tbe previous question. Mr. Kasson Doe tbe gentleman expect tbe House to-night, after five o'clock and wi bout this report being printed, to vote on these resolution, when even tbe lmpaacbabllity ol the cffi?er at present la a point to be considered by the House? Mr. Clymer After the previous question baa b'tn ordered, 1 will yield bail the hour to members of .tbe committee who are on tbe other aide ot the House. After some further diHcasaioD, the previous question was seconded and Mr. Clymer yielded tbe llwr to bis colleague on tbe committee, Mr. Robbing Mr. Robbina pleaded hla mental and physical exhaustion from his continuous service on tbe committee a a reason wby he should not addre si the House at any length. He pake of tbe rep-ut as presenting a case ot great shame and disgrace to all American citizen. At to (.be question of the impeachablll' y of an crliser wbo had resigned, he wa not prepared to speak worthily except to sasgest that it could not be true that an officer who was being investigated, and who had been found by the ! evidence to be a criminal, could flee from Justice.,. He alluded to what be called ' ' THE TJ58 KEHLT, ACCEPTANCE of ' Secretary . Belknap's resignation, referred to the English cases ol Warren Hastings and Lord Francis Bacon, both of whom had been impeached after they had eeasxl to hold. the cfliees in which they comm tted tbe crimes acd misiemeanors. Mr. Baw, of 'NY.. acother member of t je committee, questioned the statement of tbe cnairmao, Mr. Clymer, as to this case bevlug no parallel, and aaid that be

would not have to leave his own borders In order to find, Dot only a parallel for it, but that he could find cases, compared with which th's case was aa white aa was the driven snow. He admitted that tbe mere abatement of this case, as presented by the testimony, wa sufficient to Justify every membtrin voting for the resolutions presented. Mr. Lamar, of Mia"., inquired of Mr. Bass bis opinion as to tbe lmpoicbablll!y of a resigned officer. Mr. Bas replied that the English authorities seemed to maintain the jurisdiction of impeachment in euch case?, but that in thia country it was an unadjudicated question, and one that was not Irea fromaoobt. But b!9 own bf s. Judgment was in favor ot tbe right to impeach and to let the question be adjudicated by the Sanate. Mr. Hoar, of Mat., In re'erence to tbe casual remark of some member as to tnis being a political nuestion entirely, disclaimed aad r padiated such an idea. On tbe point of the iapaachability oi a person noi in ofllce, he referred to THE CASE OF WHITTEMORF, ot South Carolina, in which the House bad determined that a formal, actual renunc!ation of an cffi:er terminated blscffiee, and that any American could lay down an cilice held ty him without any acceptance of bis resignation. Judge Story bad laid down the doctrine that it could net be done In England, but there any citizen could be impeached. Therefoie the English cases ol Warren Hastings and Lord Bicon did not apply. In America no man could be Impeached but a civil officer and wten be ceased to be a civil officer be ceased to be within tbe literal descrlr ton of the constitution. In tb!a country the only judgment that could be rendered in an impeachment case was removal from office, aod future disqualification tor holding office, but by tbe statutes a person cuilty of such onences could be indicted, tried and sentenced by the criminal courts of tbe country. He pretested against hot baits In this matter without having tbe testimony printed. He thought such taste unworthy of this grave question. It

he ttaod alone ne would still stand here to ay s.o. Mr. Blackburn, of Ky., a member of tbe committee, expressed bis sat ataetion that tbe report bad keen read by his colleague, Ciymer. Jt showed to tbe world that nothing had been leit undone by the committee to shield and shelter from dishonor every person except the one wbom it was the duty of the committee to investigate and report upon. He would not consent that tbe gentleman from Massachusetts should make this a political or a partisan questiT. He would not corsict that his side ol tbe House should be placed in tbe position of prosecutors, and the other eioe t-hould take up the position of defenders. It was a question which addressed itself alike to every member of tbe House. He regarded the case as unprecedented in more respects than one. The ACTION OF THE PRESIDENT in accepting Secretary Belknap's resignation nnder tbe circumstances was unprecedented and this was the first instance In the history of tbe country where any map, c'alming manhood acd holding an exalted station, had sought to shelter himself from a legitimate investigation by interposing the dishonor of a wife. (Sanation.) Passing to the question of tbe ire reachability of Mr. Blknap, he suggests teat " the quesclon, as Judge Story had Intimated, might properly be left to tbe decision of the Senate. On such a state of facta would the House be asked to shrink from the performance of its duty, because there might be tbe mist or shadow ot a doubt on that point. Tbe House could net do so. It would not be admissible. He quoted from the inrpaacbineLtcaseol Lord Bacon, in which it wa stated tba ween tbe lord chancellor had sought to save himself by tbe resignation of bis high cilice, tue attempt was vain, as the king did not and could not Interpose. Was th. House to be told that tbe man in power at tbe other end of the avenue was able to rob an American congress of a right and power which tbe king of Great Britain could not take from parliament? Sensation and applause. It used to be the theory that ths king could do no wroD, but no man has Avtrbeen fouccl bold eucugh In this country to say that the president cculd do no wrong. I: the man who had uttered the memorable sentence, "Let no guilty man escape," held it in bis power to rob an American congresr of its right to indict punishment or to pronounce censure on a publicly convicted criminal, where waa tbe barrier to be found, beneath whese sheltar tbe liberties of tbe people could rest secure? Applause. Mr. Hoar Does tbe gentleman say that congress bas power to punish any man In tbis country? Mr. Blackburn I will not submit to interruption. I am tbe last man who wonld It trodnce one atom of politics in this discussion. It la not admissible here. The republican members ot tbe committee were as earn eat and bonest in tbe pros ecution of this inquiry and in tbe presen tation or this report as tbe members representing tbe majority of tbe House. We have Been no difference In the committee room. I appeal to the members of tbe House that there shall be no difference manifested here. It fraud bas been perpetrate., li criminality exists, if CORBUPflON HAS BEEN PROVED, let tbe representatives of the people In this House bo declare it and send the issue to 'the conrt where it may finally be tried, and if we are unable to punisb, where guilt is almost openly confessed, let the. responsibility for ttat failure at on ether sbouldtra than oora. Mr. Dan forth, of O., aaother 'member of tbe committee, expressed it as bis Jadginer i . tnst tse acceptance -of Belknap's resignation In no man ner; changed the position of that effiier to the country. He disagreed. however, with the statement of tb chairman (Clymer) that the conduct of thia of ficer was tbe legitimate outgrowth of tbe principles of tbe party in power, and be expre8 Hl tbe hope that there would not oe a sin?ie vote on the republican aide or the House against tbe resolutions. . . t i . Mr. Kasson aaid tht a Jew yeora ago there had gone from bis state a young, well educated and gallant gentleman to fight the battles of bi country. - He bad gone through tbe war and tbe president bad afterwards called him to a sat in his cabinet, placing bim at tbe beaJ of that arccy of which- be had been an humble tot somewhat c distinguished member. This morning, lor tbe first time, tbe delegation from low bad htard that that gentleman, wbo bad been so muoa rep9cted in bis own state, and so much honored by the nation, bad been found guilty of receiving a compensation tor some act ot official duty, and that that compensation ha J been continuous. T;e

tbe Aouse would judge of the emotion with

which MEMBERS FROM THAT STATE bad listened to tbe reading of tbe evidence. He bai never heard anything read with greater interest thai that repoit, and when, at the close ot tLe reading, he had made an appeal to his friend from Pennsylvania (Clymer, not tor himself alone, but for bis colleagues, whose pride and honor were so touched by tbe character or toe report, for a moment s delay teat they mlgtt find whether there might . not be in the evidence one extenuating clr cumstance, he bad been met by tbe demand for tbe pravious.'qnestionc. He did not desire to claim any exemption fc r Belknap from all tbe penalties to wntcb bis acts entitled bim. But be found tbe most painful feature dise'esed by the evi dence to be tbe tact that not one word of It touched tbe ctfences in qufition untl a death vbich broke a heart had occurred. (Sensation.) Wa? he to be blamed that be and bis colleagues war tad a night to ascer tain theextettoi that officers guilt by realing tbe evidence in point. Y as be to be bUmed that, wben be found tbe most delicate relations in human life Involved in tbis proceeding, a relation so delicate that he dared not allude to It in detail, be asked an opportunity to consider whether there was anything to be said in extenuation of so high and so great a misdemeanor, isut it was too late to go back to that now. He and his colleagues had been refused that opportunity, and cow be only asked tbe attention ot tbe House to tbe quettion whether tbe House did not need more time to ascertain whether thia officer was 1m peachab'e. After quoting from Judge story on this point, he argued that THE POWERS OF CONGRESS were limitad by tbe constitution, and that if Mr. Belknap be Impeached, the Senate could not executa tbe constitutional provision which declares thst he shall be re moved from office. If be were liaole to impeachment. let It be under stood that they were all, without exception, for impeachment, but If tbe Uonse was establishing a prece dent which did not rest on the constitu tiou and which was dangerous for tbe future, be thought it right that tbe House sbould pause and consider, toy a report from tbe judiciary committee, the queei ion of its right to malte this impeaenment. It the House could Impeach a uoau not in office, it might go back and imp.'ach Jef ferson Dayia and John B. iloyd for conspiracy. Mr. Rbbin, of N. C, suggested ttat tero was a great difference between a conviction on aa impeachment and a con viction on an Indictment. .In the latter case, a man mlgbt be psrdoned by tbe ex ecutive, but in the former case it could not be. As to tbe suzgestion as to tbe impeachment of JeÖcr-on Davis, he replied that it had been decided that a senator could not be impeached, not being an officer o the United States. The debate being cloeed, tbe House proceeded to vote on the resolution?, and tbey were unanimously adopted. The speaker eppointed a committee to notify tbe Senate cf tbe ac ion of tbe Hous. Messrs. Cljmtr, Robbies, Blackburn, Bass, and Danfortb, these members composing tbe com-iittee on expenditures in the war department, making tbe report. Ibe House then adjourned when it was announced that tbe democratic caucus, which had . been fixed for tü-clgtt, bad been adjourned till Saturday nlgtt. " A MISSING MAIDEN. GONE TO GREET HER VALENTINE. A MAIDEN'S FREAK THE UNACCOUNTABLE CONDUCT OP MODEST AND PIOCS YOUSQ LADT. ' ; The St. Louis Times tells this ta!e of mystery: Tbe Times of Friday, Feb. 18, contains the following advertisement: 1 PERSONA Ii-In formation of the whereabouts of Katie V. Johnson, aged 15 yeara (large for her age), light balrand blue eyes, dressed In brown calico dress, plaid shawl, black veil on her head (no bonnet). Any information will be thankfully received by her mother at bit Labeaurne street. There is a mystery connected with tbe disappearance or Mlsa Johnson that is entirely inexplicable. She wasaiwajB considered an extremely quiet, wtl!-tehaved girl, who, so far as known, never had a flirtation in her life. Sfce is tbe only daughter ot Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, a widow, who occupies the first floor of No. 823 Labeaume e treet. There are also two boys in the family, one a young man seventeen years old, who works lna chair factr ry, and a younger brother, who attends theWeb'tfr school. The family have lived at No. S22 Labeaume street since 1872 and the children were all raised In bat neighborhood and. are .known by nearly everybody in that part ot tbe city. Katie Johnpon was ' one of tbe ' seven young ladies baptized on the niglt of January 16th by tbe Rev. A. O. Carr, at the Christian Church, on Seventeenth and Olfve streets. After ber conversion and baptism, Miss Johnson spent a great deal hi ber time in reading and studying the Scripture?. Her mother says that she was always TALKING OR READING ABOUT RELIGION, and that ahe saldom went out except to attend cbnrcb, prayer meeting or Sunday school. On Sunday, tbe 13th oi Febru ary, she wer t to Elder Carr 'a church on Seventeenth and Olive etree's as was ber custom, and remained until after Sunday school. - Ttaat afternoon ahe told ber mother, that she bad walked home, but one of the neighbors declared that she saw her get oot of a Broadway car, and that she could not therefore have walked home. Mrs. Johnson never caught her daughter lo a lie, and is unwilling to believe tpat Ketie tried to deceive ber in this instacce, and be 6'des, tbe car ticket thst she took away with ber waa after war Ja found In her pocket book, si that tbe must, her mother, eayr, bave walked borne. Always before. Ingoing and returning' fioru cbnrcb, ehe waa accompanied by some one, and Mrs. Johnson - thinks, it very, strange that she should . have walked .borne alone ' on that particular Sunday. ' The strue afternoon she attended cbnrcb on Thirteenth and Webster street, and . at night went to bear Elder Carr again at the church on ..Seventeenth and Olive street'. She was .'accompanied by Mr. Robert McQowan's family, wbo live on Eiahth j and Moand atreata, ODly a coppie blocks from Mrs. Johnson's. Upon amvicg home that night , ' SHE BEAD HER BIBLE AS USUAL before going to bed. The next morning, St. .ValentloftV day, 6be arone about 7 o'clock,' a 'little earlier than was her ruatorn. Her - mother was already up, and while 8 he waa ' getting breakfast i lo tbe kitchen Katie was in her room reailcg tbe scriptur e. . Odco her mother looked In and taw her at the glass doing up her hair, and a moment afterward she saw ter

throw a green plaid sbawl over ber shoul

ders and a black veil around her bead and go out tbe back door. This was the last seen of her and since then Mrt. Johnson has ben almost crazy rrom grier. io note was left to explain tne gtrrs straope condacr, aud no cause can be assigned for it a al'. ' She left ber pocket-book and all her fcetter clothes be hind ber, wearing away only an old, faded calico crrss acd a green, drab ibawl. She also took three ol ber books with her, a üiDie, a Testament and a nvmn book. No one Baw ber after she left, and no one received any intimation that she was going to leave. She was not dissatisfied with her borne, and could not bave left on that account, bus never bad a lover or ever kept company, and so no one is willing to peiieve iDat ene Das ELCPED OR ENTERED A WAT WARD LIFE. Although extremely pious, her friends declare that she was net unbalanced In mind, 8oa6u?clde is out of the question. Tbe only reltt've she has out ot the family is an aunt in Indiana, but abe 'did not go there, for the aunt bas telegraphed that abe knows nothing of her. None of tbe eu p.ovment agents know anj thing about ber whereabouts and the police bave picked her up nowhere, although notinea of ber disappearance. Tee de ecription of tbe mis ing girl bas teen read out in seven churcbea and in tbe Webster school, and everybody entreated ta aasiet in looking for the lost one, but as yet net the Fliehtest clue has teen discovered. A ahoi t time before St. Valentine's day she told a friend that abe expected a valentine and she ktew too who was going to send it. What kind of a valentine she expected to rcelve was net stated, but some are disposed to believe that tbis remark of hers contained more than was intended and tbat there is really a young man mixed up in it eome way. MASS TEMPERANCE CONVENTION. The sixth convention of the seventh district, including the counties ot Marior, Morgan, Hendricks and Putnam, !s hereby called to meet In tbe Town Hall at Moores ville, on Wednesday, March 15th, 1876, at 10 o'clock A. M. The meeting will be under tbe auspices ot the Womans Christian Temperance Union, but it is intended to be a mass conventlou of all men and women who deplore tbe evils of intemperance and are willing to work for their prevention and cure.

MOODY A8ANKEY. The great revivalist', Messrs. Moody and Sankey, who electrified staid old Eng land with lteir eloquence and enthusiasm, ere fair rumples of American genius. Springing from among the common people, their sympathies are alive to the wants of the whole people, end herein lies the secret of their great success. Tbrsa who seek to be pr polar must study and be familiar with the wants of tbe masses, and prove loyal thereto. To tbis fact we may trace the grand success la business, as well as in religious undertakings, which many Americans have achieved. Strikingly illustrative of these suggestions is tbat gret establishment, located at Bu'falo, n. Y., and known as the "World 'a Dispensary," a most appropriat9 name, incited, fr that vast Institution, within whose walls are manufactured remedies which are in demand In every quaitar of the glote, and al which a corps ot distinguished pbyfliciana and sargeons, under the personal direction of Dr. Pierce, are constantly administering to tbe Deeds of thousands of sufferers everywhere, and wbess saccesa in the treatment of all forms of chronic ailments bas become so well known tbat there is scarcely a bamlet in tbe land in which bis name'ia not familiar. Its proprietor, rays the lie nld and Torchlight, of Detroit, "is a man ol the people, writes lor them, and to them tenders his eminent professional services." His adveitlsements are earnest exhortations. Like the great revivalists, bis enthusiasm is multiplied ty tbe unparalleled success of bis enterprise, as well as by the efficacy ci his remediis in curing disease. The poople believe in him and his remedies, because. aa tbe New York Tribune say, 44 He sym pathizes with them in all their afflictions, encrt, ana attainment." Hence vt. Plerc6'a Golden Medical Discovery la tcday more largely employed aa a blood acd liv4r medicine, and also as a cough remedy, than any other remedial agent In the world. His Favorite Prescriptions, be i doea noes rot recommend aa a ''cure 'all." ' as i& 6ö often done by compounders of worthless, hnmbug nostrum?, but for all diseases and weaknesses psvuliar to women It bas proved itself, eo much of a Bpecifio tbat it now enjoys great popularity and universal confidence. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant' Purgative Pellets, 'scarcely larger than muttard seed," bave proved so agreeable and reliable as a cathartic tbat tuey are rapidly taktner tbep'aeeof the large, nauseaus pills heretofore so much in use; while his Compound -Extract of Smart-Weed is a favorite remedy for Colic, Cramps, tummer-complaint. Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera and Cholera Morbus, and also aa a liniment. Of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and Dr. . Pierce'a Nasal Douche, litt e . need be said, as tbey are known everywhere es the greatest specifics forCatirrh and "old in the heaf," ever given to the public. And besides this large measure of succei,Dr. Pierce seems likely to achieve as great renown äs an 'author aa be bas a a ' pbyaician. Hla Common Sen bo Medical Adviser, a book of about 000 page, which be ells at the nnt oaralleled low price of f I 50, baa already been sold to the extent of exhausting two editions amounting to ferty thousand copleev The aerrat l Dr. Pierce'a success, aa well as tbat of tbe great rev'vallata, and scores of other Americans, wno by their genius have alvanced step by step from obecurity to affluence aod distinction, consists In treating tbe people with consideration, aympaUy, candor, and honesty. IS'o man, who hopes to atteio eitler wealth cr distinction, can afford to deal unfairly with tee-werkt or be Indifferent to the wants and best lntcreiti of humanity.
