In the ¢ity of Washington, where piles of marbles and grauite have been reared for the government, 'sBo,ooo is paid every yearfor rents.

The party managers about Indianapolis are endeavoring to force Landers ‘on the party as a candidate. - Landers is & bolter, and net in accord with the party ‘on the financial issues.

: Another Forgery. - On Tuesday morning, a-guest of the Ligonier House, régistering his name as James I. Graham, Chicago, and who pretend_ed to have come here for :the purpose of buying butter and eggs, /stated to the landlord that he found ‘himself a little short of ready cash, and wanted. to know ‘whether Mr. Fleming would not. identify him at the Citizens’ Bank that he might draw| the’ currency‘(on an $BO check alleged to'have been issued in his favor by J. B. Reeme & Co., of Chicago. | Mr. Fleming, who during his career as landlord has frequently obliged his guests in a similar mannér, exprggsed | his willingness to comply with the requeg.t.' The ehéck was presented at the Bank, endorsed by Graham, and ‘also by Fleming. Graham pocketed the mouey, and, instead of purchasing .with it butter and eggs, quiety got his baggage while Mr. Fleming was away from the hotel, proceeded to the depot, where he paid: his bill to the porter, and took passage on the accommoda- | tion train going east. ~ Wiien these facts came fo the knowledge of Mr. Fleming, he atonce became apprehensive that e had been “taken in” by a shrewd scoundrel of insinuating inanners.. A felegraphic | inquiry elicited the-[fact that J. B. Reeme & Co. had issued no such check. Telegrams weré dispatched east for | the interception and akrest of Graham, and pursuers sent after him. Graham, it appears, got off at Brimfleld, where he mailed a letter, evidently containing money, to Miss Mary L: Cochran, Chieago. - From Brimnfield he proceeded to Rome City, by team, and from here he took the train going south on the Grand Rapids roadi His pursuers were close upon his . heels, but just ten minutes too ‘late to capturé him at Kendallville. ' It is generally believed that Graham got off at Avilla and went west on thie B. &O. road. - S

Mpr. Fleming telegraphed these facts to the chief of police at Chicago, and also :requested- the Postmaster of that city to keep an eye on the letter mailed at Brimfield, Yesterday noon Mr. Fleming received a telegram that Graham alias Cochran had®been arrested and thal the letter was retained im the Pust-office.

DEMocrATIC UNlON:—Seeing that your paper first brought out the name of Capt.

He would prove a worthy successor to Gov. Hendricks, ITe would make a most worthy executive oflicer.” _ Yes, Bro. Stoll, Capt.

“BURNED TO DEATH., | A Home for the Aged Burned in j o Brooklyn, : And Eighteen of the Inmates Perish "~ in the Flames. : _NEW YORK, March 7.—The House ’fbr Aged People, conducted by the Catholiccommunity known as the Lit-tle-Sisters of the Poor, and located in 1 tlfe Eastern District of Brooklyns was completely burned this morning. The house comprised a four-story building, | with two wings, and contained 185 inmates. When these’ were made aware of the fire; a panic seized them, and, the Sisters losing control, they ran through the building, some escaping to the street, but others sinking down exhausted, overcome: by fright and smoke, - The police and firemen rescued all these, but a number who could not get.to the lower floors, "by. reason of the smoke and flames, ran for the roof. All who reached here were 'rescued, but some inmates, too feeble to run or clamber, were hurned to deatli, while two, who threw:themselves from the upper window, were fatally injured. Loss on the building and furniture,s2s,ooo; insurance, $30,000. « : LATeER~—The fire was discovered in ‘the south wing, occupied by the male portion of the inmates, and contained seventy-two persons, whose ages varied from 68 to 105 years. ~ In‘one of the rooms in the third ‘story, second tier, a horrible sight preseunted itself to. the gaze of the fireman who first. was able to make } his way throughthe smoke and flames into it. There, stretched on their pal%lets, mattresses, quilts and even pillows, which had been singed by fire and partially covered with water that subdued the flames around them, were the corpse of nine unfortunate creatures some of whom were paralytics, and all of whom wefe unable to leave their beds. A few of them were burned and the hair upon their heads singed, but all doubtless died from suffocation caused by the smoke. On the second floor, likewise, one old man was found dead seated in achair. He also died of asphyxia, aud had been so infirm that he was unable to leave his seat. i

After the firemen saw that the flames were subdued a trying duty awaited them. - In the ruins, it was certain, were bodies of many who had perished in .the most terrible manner, but- what number, it was impossible to determine. The firemen, however, continued work, pouring water on the embers, and when they were cooled they began a search for those who were burned. Their labors brought from beneath the debris the charred and mangled bodies of eight men whose remains fell ‘with the floors on which they perish@. This made in all eighteen victims of the holocaust, including those who died from suffoeation. Most of the missing have been accounted for, and the above, it is believed, comprises the total list of those burned.

! L g il - DO HOLMAN FOR GOVERNOR. An Earnest Plea for His Nomination. \ The Seymour Democrat, edited by an intimate friend of Spedker Kerr, in a double-leaded - editorial, 'thus points out the nécessity of Judge Holman’s nemination for Governor: Hon. W. 8. Holman has been congressman, «we believe, twelve years. Ile has been.an honest, painstaking servant of the people. He is not a brilliant man, but he is far above mediocrity, and is so thoroughly imbued with a desire ;to serve the people and reflect their will, that there are few men in the country who have a reputation equal to his. His very - habits ‘are conservative. IHe is a member of the Baptist church, which, of itself, is a guarantee of his conservatism. Ie is a plain man, lives plainly, speaks ‘plainly and hasa kind heart and such agreeable manners that he wins ongto him, even if he should be prejudiced against him on .account of political differences. - HOLMAN MUST BE OUR NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR. We know that he does not desire the place, but he must forego his own interests, and predelictions and accept the nomination that will be tendered him. The interests of the party demand this sacrifice at his hands, and we have no doubt but that it will be cheerfully made. Folman is a man ef the people. He i 8 thoroughly alive to théir interests; he has never refused a call which they have ‘made upon him, and he has served ‘them with such zeal that.he has: become. endeared to the hearts of both parties. With him as our candidate, we shall sweep the State. by twenty thousand mrajority. With any other yman, Orth will walk over the track.

We ask the democratic press generally to speak out. We know that the democratic partyis a unit in believing that Holman is the best man we can nominate, and we also know they desire to lift him to the highest position to which they can elevate him. Now, that the party is in peril, he will not refuse to aid.. Let the ery go forth—- “ Holman, and only Holman, for Governor.” : S .

e R e N ’“"wﬂéfi‘}; BELKNAPS FALL. Sad ,Spectac;e of a Wife’s Ambition Leading to Her Husi ~ band’s‘Shame. How She Bartered His Honor for So- : cial Supremacy. ; WASHINGTON, D. ~ March 3.—The implication of Mrs, | Belknap in the downfall and disgrace of ler husband gives a feature of romange to the sickening affair, which invests it with a piquancy that seldom attaches to such matters. There is in thisdepartment of the snbject a confusion of names, dates and circumstances, which must be dispelled in order to arrive ata clear understanding, of the case and properly divide up the responsibility. The present Mvs. Belknap is the third wife of the secretary, and the second wiiw fre has had since he entered -the eatanet. iy hnmediate predecessor was her sister, who died about three years ago. It was the second Mrs. Belknap, sister of the present incumbent, who made the original bargain with Miursh.. Her maiden name was Carrie Tomlinson, while the nameof the present’ is .Amanda. So, for the sake of distin:tion. we will speak.of them as®:s. ¢ and Mrs. ‘Amanda. ; ' '

A WOMAN'S AMBITION, » ! When Belknan first came to “73811-'.| ington Mrs. Carrie at once aspired to: a social rank which her: husband’s salary would net sustain. They had no private fortune to fall back on, but nothing would content them short of social wrivalry with the Fishes, who , had a private income compared to which the ¢abinet salary was a mere | bagatelle. - There was but one way to meet the deficieney; and that was by making illicit profits out of the oflice. The woman’s wit of Mrs. Carrie did not Jong lack for crovked ways and means. She surveyed the possibilitres, and:determined to avail herself of them at the finst opportunity. This came. in theshape ot Marsh, whose acquaintance the Belknaps madejat: Long Branch in 1870. The testimony itgelf shows that Mrs. Carrie made the drst overtures to- Marsh, but the testimony tells only a small portion of the "story. . The woman seemed perfectly infatuated with the dazzle of Washington society, and, dazzled with the prospect of sudden wealth, she devoted herself to the business of partering away the influence of her hosband’s position, and soon ' laid schemes by which their income: was ‘raised from a cabinet salary to about $25,000 a year. Then, just as the coveted pomp and extravagance was - within her reach, Mrs. Carrie sickened and died, leaving as a legacy to her husband the plans she had made for the bettering of their (financial fortunes at the expgnse of honor. :

THE MARRIAGE. e The secretary did not long remain a widower. The present wife, Mrs. Amanda, was 2 blooming young widow, and there was a material enhancement of her ripe and luscious charms in the fact that she was qualified to take up the thread of worldly thrift right where it had fallen from the nerveless fingers of her dying sister. Mrs. Amanda had been fully in the confidence of ler sister, and knew all thie ropes, so to speak, which had been laid to-pull in the erooked' profits. Accordingly, she was every way fitted to take her sister’s place in the affections. of the secretary, -and in the business end of the war department. It was, therefore, wmarriage de convenance as well as d’amour, and Mus, Anianda stepped iuto the shoes of Mrs. Carrie, matrimonially, socially, and financially. Mrs. Amanda was in all respects a qualitied successor of her thrifty sister. She was inspired by the same ambitions, blessed with the same liberal conscience, and gifted with even superior beauty ot facd and form. | '

~ SHORT/DIVISION OF THE SPOILS. Mrs. Carrie’s baby, upon whom the create/d income of the post-traderships had been settled when the mother died, soon followed the latter to the grave, and Fhen there was nobody left to divide with the secretary and the gushing widow the perquisites of the war department. Mrs. Amanda and the secretary were married, with a flourish of trumpets, and immediately set about placing Marsh’s money where it would do the most good—that is /to say, insilks, diamonds, fuss, feathers, and style generally. Their home was among the niost luxurious even in the center of luxury. Mrs, Belknap called about her the fairest and brightest of her sex, and sought to create a-select social cir@e of her own, the.entree to which should be the desideratum of the Ziaut ton. She was to be the Lady Blessington of the reign of Ulysses, and her house should be the Holland house of’ ‘the realm. Her feminine proteges were to be the centers of admirauong and: nothing but a millionaire or a count could aspire to pay tlxerqﬁ serious gcotention,

THE ORIGIN OF THE INVESTIGATION. The following is given as the origin of the Belknap investigation: While in a search for a house for-his family in December, B. B. Lewis, of Alubama, was referred to G.O. Armes, a real estate agent in this city., During their search for a house, Mr. Armes, in conversation stated to Mr. Lewis that he had formerly belonged to the army,but was dismissed through the enmity of Belknap; that if he had the assistance of a member of Congress he could in sixty days develop facts that would force Belknap to resign. Mr. Lewis tendered his assistance, and they subsequently had several interviews. ' Mr. Lewis, being impressed, sought the advice of Mr. Rdndall, who advised that the facts be brought before Mr. Clymer, chairman of the Committee on Expenditures in the War Department. Messrs. Lewis and Armes, saw Mr. Clymer, and the latter gave a list of witnesses, including, Marsh. Afterwards Mr. Clymer thought Armes was acting in bad faith, as the.secretary said Armes had proposed, if he were restored to the army, and certain other conditions complied with, he would drop the matter. Mr. Lewis said if Armes was seeking only to devy blackmail ot course they could have nothing to do with it, but advised, as Armes- had furnished the names of witnesses, that they be ecalled and examined, which was done. . et ;

© For Gevernor, Wm. S. Holman. By a letter from Washington, under date ot February 28th, written by a gentleman well informed in the matter, ind who is unusually careful in the correctness of his statements, we learn that “although Mr. Holman hag positively stated that he would not be a candidate for Governor, yet if he is nominated by our convention he will quite certainly accept and run,” - This is certainly good news and renders the question of the success of the Democratic ticket in Indiana no longer one of doubt.

- NEWS OF THE WEEK. eT S i - Fifteen thousand Carlists have taken refuge in France. ' S The war in Spain has closed by the flight of Don Carlos and the disbanding and surrender of his adherents. President Grant has signed the act amendatory to the act admitting Colorado to the Union on an equal footing with the otlier ?tates. : : 1t is said that Dn Carlos-owes $5,000,000 in England, and his projected visit to that country is_ to settle with bis creditors. He has ample means, having inherited 840,000,000 from the Duke of Modena. e : Don. Carlos has issued a manifesto to the Spaniards, in which he says that he has discontinued a hopeless struggle merely to avoid useless bloodshed, but asserts that- he will never sign a compromise. lis flag, he says, renmains: folded until tlie moment God shall fix as the supreme hour of redemption. . o - The wives of New York City workmen have. clubbed together and are attemf)ting to have employers pay their husbands on Mondays instead of Saturdays. By the former means much of their wages, that are usually spent in -Sunday carousals, will be saved for their families. !

A gentleman in Williamsburg, Va., has promulgated a novel plan for extinguishing the public debt, which now amounts to $2,244,426,981.25. He encloses 25 cents to the Secretary|of the Treasury, and proposes to pay off the figures one by one. Ile appealsto his fellow citizens to fight it out on his line, and signs himself “A Rebel of 1865, a patriot of 1875.” :

Reports from Iceland intimate that the entire population of a small group in that vicinity known as the Waestmanna Isles, are dying of starvation. The failures of the last season’s fisheries, and the impossibility of reaching the islands with supplies in winter, leave thé people, some 500 in number, without food, and it appears to be very doubtful if any of them will be found alive. :

The report comes from Washington that the Black Hills are now practi‘cally open ‘to settlement.: The . Indians having repeatedly violated the treaty, and forfeited their right te the resérvation, and the.failure of the Indian Reservation bill.to pass the Senate is equivalent to a Yefusal of Congress to instruct the -war department todrive off settlers. It is understood the Sioux will 'be moved to the Indian territory. . ‘

_The great tornado of Sunday, February 26th, struck New Douglas, an isolated village in Illinois, and did much damage. Wm. Young, a prom-’ inent citizen, and also a little child, ‘were killed, and many persons injured. About 17 houses were more or less damaged, some of them destroyed entirely. The Sabbath. school -was in session, and several of the children in attendance were hurt. The public school house was’'one of the objects of the storm’s fury, and was destroyed. The snow is twelve feet deep on tlie level at Truckee, California. Thursday night -a. snow-slide occurred at, Yuba pass, crushing the snow-sheds along the Pacitic road for 150 yards,; ‘and the west-bound freight train . ran into the wreck, ditching the: train.! While clearing the wreck another slide occurred half a mile behind the train, carrying away 150 feet of shed, making it ‘impossible to reach the train with-assistance. Other slides meantime occurring in other directions, the men refused to endanger their lives by working in the sheds. The road, however, will be clear in aday or two: at furthest. e :

Five boys, aged abouyt 14, stole $7OO from their parents in Decorah, Towa, and set out for the Black -Hills. In Dubuque they took rooms at the best Hotel, each bought a seven-shooter and a box of the best cigars and prepared to “do” the city. A telegram stopped their career, but the oldest boy, getting wind of the matter, vbtained the money of® the others and two revolvers and escaped. Thisis the last instance of juvenile precocity and teaches a lesson in the fact that they obtained their first idea of the adventure from some one of the namerous pernicious papers published for boys. Parents cannot supervise their children’s reading too closely. o ‘

"The Advisory Council and its Results. | ‘The Advisory Council, called by ‘ Piymouth Churech, to review its acts in connection with the dropping of Mrs. Moulton’s name-and others from the cliurch roll, and to give advice on minor matters of Church discipline, -after a ten days’ session, has concluded its labors. The result is what everybody had forseen. Plymouth Church and Mr. Beecher are sustained atiall points. _ < ‘The:council did not think the charter of its existence—the letter-missive —permitted it to investigate the scan--dal, though Mr. Beecher stated in their presence that he courted such investigation, and' challenged God, man or the devil to produce aught against him. Mr. Moulton promptly picked up the gauntlet thus defiantly flung dowhn, but, perhaps, he was not considered as representing eithér of the parties challenged, as no attention was paid to his offer to furnish proofs. It’is the misfortune of Mr. Beecher and his friends that they have never ‘been willing to consent to what the outside world would consider an impartial investigation of his case. The originial Investigating Commitiee of | 1874 was picked by Mr: Beecher from ‘ among his best friends, and Lhough‘ their “verdict may have been a just ‘one, the public has seen fit to discredit it. - The Great Trial was not of a character to permit the introduction of very much evidence that was con- | sidered ‘ of importance by Tilton’s friends.: The Advisory Council was | carefully selected from among those ‘known to be friendly to Mr. Beecher. Plymouth Chureh paid the expense of the delegates from and to their homes, and while in Brooklyn they w,er# quartered in the families of the chureh members, where, of course, they had an opportunity to become Jimpregnated with the prevailing theories of the Pastor’s innocences All this was unfortunate, as it gave Mr. Beecher’s .enemies. (if they can be called such who believe*him guilty) a chanee to procldim the ¢ouncil a partisan one. They said, “If:<a man, accused of a crime, 'is permitted to select his own! judges, and then have them sumptuously entertained in the houses of his friends while they are considering his case, what wonder that they are unable to discover any wrong in him.” ; . The “Seandal Bureau,” which the council ‘recommended be formed under certain circumstances, to hear an'd, pass upon any further -evidence ‘that may be offeeed, at first sight appears to be a practical step towards the solutien of thk great mystery. Bus it has been liedged about by such conditions that it‘is hardly likely evm : -be organized.. The council express themselves -us entirely satisfied of Mr. ‘Beecher’s moral purity, and they suggest this ‘Bureaé\ simply to satisfy the ‘numerous doubters that exist in all ‘communities, The Bureau will be formed if ‘any responsible person ‘makes specific charges against the pastor, and: offers to back up such charges with new evidence.

Comments of the Press on the Sad | : ~ Affair. . i _[Terre Haute iExpress— Rep.] tisk The most shameless piece of offit cial scoundrelism that has ever disgraced our country’s annals eomes to light this morning. General Belknap, Secretary of War, an hon-: ored and favored man, is convicted, with his two wives, one living and one dead, of villanies that would. blacken a common thief. And yet, startling as this news is, the fall of this man is not so'remarkable, The timnes are out of joint. The spirit of greed is deminant, and corrup- - tion, dishonesty and shame fill private and public places. The large number. of swindlers discovered point unerringly to the larger num-; ber who aré not found .out. Society is rotten’all through, and the country “approaches a crisis. - 'We have come upon ‘the , same yolu tuousness, luxury, corrnption arfd% towering avarice that sapped the vii tals of the Roman Republic. This is the blossom and fruit of the nation’s hundredth year. We can not stand the- pressurcr long. ' It wilt end in the tempest of /a great and possibly of a terrible ‘reform, or it end in the decay of our, liberties,. the obliteration of \virtue’ and- the darkening of our civilization. |

ZESE 'Lou:is Republican—lnd.3 -~ ~ It is hard to tell what ought to be done. The crime is too shameful and the criminal too exalfed to be the subject of ordinary penalties. To try him and punish him as a felon would aggravate the scandal before the world. Besides, no in-: flicting of legal penalties on the bribed functionafj would relieve the sense of dishonor that' overwhelms the coun.ry, and causes every man’s cheek to tingle with shame. All that the country can do, perhaps, is to bear its share 'of disgrace with what patience it may, dismiss the offender fo his infamy, and hold President Grant’s Administration and the par-t} that put it in power to a reckoning for the shocking and multiplying scandals that ;are following each other in such rapid succession and disgracing.us and our Government in the eyes of the world. -~ .~ .

A {S’t. Louis Globe-Democrat—Rep ] i A Cabinet officer, who has, up .Ltro the present time, enjoyed the re-. spect and esteem of men of all political parties, has been suddenly revealed to the world as a malefactor” of the most contemptible description—a bribe-taker, whose real victims were the priyate soldiers of the army to which he himself onee hanprably belonged, and of &vhich he was, until yesterday, the [virtual commander, General . Belknap leaves nothing be to said in his favor. His conduct and his confessions strengthen the case, made against him by the Investigating Committee; and we are inclined to agree with the member of that body who charges him with adding cowardice to crime by attempting to shield himself behind an ‘accusation of dishonor against his wife. The unanimity with which the House of Reépresentatives voted “in favor' of his impeachment, in face of a serious doubt whether he had not, by his volurtary resignation, placed himself beyond its jurisdiction, only shows how deeply rooted is the conviction of hig gnilt=l" =

. Gen. B. F. Butler, who is counsel for Frank Moulton in the latter’s suit against the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher for malicious prosecution, has been quoted as saying, after an examination of the evidence before the scandal became public, that Mr. Beecher was unquestionably - innocent..; Gen. Butler now sees fit to correct this impression,. and to state that he never expressed such an opinion, and that, upon -learning the facts which dame to his knowledge at the time he was consulied by all the parties in inter&st, he had no doubt of Mr. Beecher’s guilt, and that that judg‘ment has been confirmed by subse‘quent developments and proofs. ~ Caleb P.
