London, March 2—Winslow, the Boston forger, was brought up at Bow street to-day, and remanded until noon to-inorrow. The proceedings were delayed 20 minutes by the report that Mr Wormier would appear as his solicitor. When Sir Thomas Henry asked the prisouer ifhe had a solicitor, Winslow said he did not desire one, and did not wish to contest the case at all, he would be glad to waive everything, and would bo only too happy to go home tomorrow, Sir. Thos. Henry said: I understand Mr. Wontner would appear lor the defense, at the request of he prisoners friends. Detective Green ham explained tnat tho prison ers friends at Boston, had telegraphed for Wontner to appear, but the prisoner did not wish to nave a solicitor. Mr Winslow said it was not the wish either oi his family or himself, he said he was ill and asked permission to be seated. Sir Thomas Henry certainly, Celbion P. Dearborn, a boston detective -identified Wrinslow and produced necessary extradition papers, including the indictment found hy tho Grand Jury oi Suffolk county, Mass., containing fourteen counts, seven for forging and altering and seven for uttering, to tbo amount of *10,000 dollars. The documen's were handed to Wrinslow who declined to ask Dearborn any questions.

During tho reading of tho documea's Winslow sat looking downwards, ap pureutly very much depressed,but otherwise he evinced no emotion. He seems to have suffered much from confinement. He is very sallow and gaunt. He is unshaven and wears a worn looking D'ue lrock coat. On ope occasinn, whtn oljligwd -to epoa-U, Uia vuico W»E* husky and his tone lower than when feo addressed tie Court.-• Xiast-Wednesday week, after tho documents had been read, Sir Thomas explained 'heir purport to Winslow, and asked him if ho uuderstood them. Window replied that he did. Sir Thomas then said, addressing Winslow, iu an extradition caus^, that it was necessary to have the cvidenc- thiit the Government, requiriim extradition,had mad" formal application to the English Government, though I understand that the Arneri can legati sent the documents to the foreign office yesterday. I have not. rei-tived any intimation lrotn eiLhor ihe loieign or homo office, therefore, I tnink it best to remand you until tomorrow. The prisoner asked to be allowed to see his family who were iu a

privat.fi

Ed-

urn mis, who was ft°g'o said be was not well aud u.d not go ou with his remarks. He therefore asked tbat tbe Pinchback matter be laid over, with the "nders anding that it come up as unfinished business to-morrow: Mr. Morton said lie would not object but he understood tbat several Senators were going waVi if they were not here to-mor-row lie.would ask farther postponement of the matter. The request of Edmunds was granted, and tne Pinchback resolution laid over:

to provide for such redempt

ion until the whole amount of fractional curreucy is redeemed, Ordertd printed and recommitted.

Washington, March, 2—The report that Mr. Marsh, of New York, testified yesterday before the ccmmitteeou expenditures in the warciepartment, that he paid Mrs. Belknap S10.000 for a post tradership, and $0,000 yearly since, and that the secretary did not deny the truth of the charge, became generally known this morning, causing much surprise and excitement iu the ofllcial and other circles. Inquiries were made in all quarters to ascertain the precise facts in the premises, which resulted in the general belief that the reported testimony was entitled to credence, aud this belief was further strengthened by the fact that about ten'this morning Secretary Belknap had an intt-rv: .v witu President iu company witn Secretarys, Briatow and Chandler, and Senators Morton and Morrill, oi Vermont. The subject discussed involving a resignation of Secretary Belknap. The latter left the executive mansion with Secretary Chandler and they both went over to the War Department. It is thought thatBaU knap placed his resignation at the pleasure of the President. Levi P. Luckey has resigned as a private Secretary to the President, as the latter desired to continue bis soli UlysseR in bis ofiice. Mr. Luckey, has accepted a responsible position in the Department of thelnterior. JIORB AISOUT TIIE UEI-iKNAP AFl-'AIR.

Thcsama authority stales that the President has acrepted the Belknop resiauatioa. A report on the subject will be made to the houre to-day if 'he committee is able to fiu ish taking tertimony before adjournment.

TALKS All JUT HIS IMPEACUNENT. Washington, March 2.—The report of the testimony implicating Secretary Belknap iu the matter of the sale of t,he office of post trader at Fc. Sill, is tbe theme of comment everywhere in this city to-d^v. General Belkuap has resigned. Ho handed a letter to tho Presidhnt, tending his resignation, and asking that it be accepted without delay. It is stateu at the White House that the resignation was promptly accepted, but the exact language of tho President's rereply has not yet beeu obtained. Belknap has reaiained^at his piivate resi deuce to-day, not having vUiied tbo War Department. He says there are many complications to be explained to the committee, and that he has therefore requested lo bo allowed to make a scatemeut before it. The discovery of this circumstance in Gen. Belknap's administration of the War Department occasions most intense surprise, tbe Cabinet officers aud officials of all grades declare their absolute astonishment throughout entire city to-day there has been talk regarding the subject of the impeachment of Ex-Secretary for offense corruptions, and the opinions have been divided even amaug the cabinet officers and others as to whether a trial can bo bad after offending an official is out of office. Tho prevailing opinion however, is that he could be Attorney-General said iu a conversation upon the matter that he was not prepared to give his opiniou, though it has not been officially asked for unless after an examination, several friends of Belknap, called upon him to-day but be had nothing to say, excepting as has been here stated, that he desired to make a statement before the committee. There are already rumors lo appoint a successor, but nothing is said about it at the White House it is also rumored this afternoon that tbe President is incliued to withdraw his acceptance of resignation to await investigation ofeharges against Belli noss.

In tho United States Circuit. Court yesterday the case of tbe United States vs. John Bingham was called, and Judge res ham inquired why tbe Government did not move for a sentence, as it is understood tbat tho principal reason for delaying tho sentence existed no longer. The Dis1rict Attorney replied that tbo Attorney General had directed him to v/aic further orders before moving for -sentence, for reasons satisfactory to the Government. It will be remembe-red that tho Dis trict Attorney for the district of New York was in court at the time sentence was passed on ilie crooked conspirators, and interposed, thro uyii Co). Trusler, a request for a delay in Bingham's case, because ho w»s wanted as a witness in some Now York cases.

A man in want of wood visited or.o

of the

markets yesterday to make a

choice. Finding a load lhat suited, he asked tbe owner if there was a cord on tho wagon. '•I think tbero is," was the repiy. "Do you kuow that there is-?" "My son Wi Jiam loaded it up, and he said there was a cord." "Well, what do you sa}?" askeJ the ci!i "n. "And mv other sou, John, helped William load it up, and be said there was a cord." "Da yon say so' "And my neighbor came along aiul be said there was a cord." "I don't believe mere 13." "Aud my wife stood at tho sate as I came away, and she said there was a cord," continued the farmer. "There may bo tbreo-quarters," said tho citizen. "And as I came through the toll-gate tho keeper said he'd eat it if there wasn't a cord and a half." "He did?" "And a policeman slopped mo and wanted to know bow much I asked tor that cord and three-quarters of beautiful wood!"

The citizen took it before the load could swell any more,

A"Previous Understanding. Fiom theJDetrolt Free Pieff. A nigbt or two siuce a cbap about thirty-live years old, loolciug as if he bad crawled out of a cave to commence life anew, entered one of the hotels in this city, aud, waiting at the counter until the clerk was at libertv. he ed"Is this a hotel?"s -«•1 \Yes, sir," was tbe roply. "Good living, good beds and the most courteous attention?'' "Yes, sir." "Well," said tho stranger, after a long look^it a railroad tiuie table, "I Bupposeydu don't trust?" "No, sir." "Wouldn't let a man stay here four

or live days t:r.t'.l something turn up?" "No, sir." "That's what, I wanted to know. 1 always like to have a previous understanding about such things, for if anything makes it tnad it is to have a great hie hotel clerk j'*t*'P in 011 mo and kick me down stairs 011 account of my straitened finance." "You'd better iind some other pla«:6," suggested the cl^rk. "Oh, I shall," replied the stranger. "Tho outside of this hot 1 emed to smile a welcome at me, but as I said before, my present policy is to get

without being kicked. I've got

natural feelings as well as anybody else, and I'm getting so worn down in flesh that a men' common grand bounce trom a healthy hotel clerk, upsets mo for a whol« day. Farewell, young man—1 don't bilo no extry 'tars tor me."

5Iu«»clc vs Capital.

Two residents of Fort street east got into a hot dispute yesterday about the ownership of a line fence, and one of them shook his fist under tbo others nose and said: "Oh! I could mash you all to pieces and I'd do it right hero if I hadn't got to go to tho bank!"

The second pushed up his sleoves. flourished his fists around and yened "I could lick six just such men as you Ii-r-r-r! But I'd give the coroner a job if I hadn't to go down Hastings street to collect some money '•Oh! would there were 110 banks shouted the first.

Ob would

bad collected that Mil

last night!" shrieked tho second. And they shook their fists at each other and backed on to their respective door-steps.

Silt ANTHONY RqTHScrnr.n,Recently deceased, was something of a wag in his way—as much so, perhaps, as a man of his fcnermous wealth could be and preserve his health. Some years ago tnere was a whist club at Paris, at which the Rotbchilds and other bankers used Lo play. One of tbe bankers died, and the other members of tho club were discussing his circumstances. ''He was worth five millions of dollars," said one upon which Rotlichild remarked, compassionately, "I had no idea he was in such straightened circumstances."

HE waa a memb'jr of th9 African Church, and after be was scalded to death by a boiler explosiou, his bereaved associates oreoted a tombstone, on which was chiseled, "Sacred to the memory of our 'stecmod friend."
