BELKNAP.

His Rejoinder to the Replication of the House.

HE SAYS THERE WAS AN IMPLIED AGREEMENT HETWEEN HIMSELE

AND CLYMER.

He was to Ktwlffii his Office ami EHCSIJ« Impeachment.

Washington, April 24.—This evening the counsel for W111. W. Belknap filed with Secretary Graham, General Belknap's rejoincr to the replications of the house of representatives in the matter of his impeachment A general demurer is interposed to the first of the two replications, alleging its insufficiency. lie next denies the fitatement contained in the second replication that he was .secretary of war until and including the second day of March, 1876. He then denies the assertion of the replication to the effect that he was secretary of war until a committee having authority from the house had investigated his official conduct, and asserts that up to the time of his resignation the house had not given authority to any committee to investigate any of the matters set forth in the charges made against him in the article of impeachment.

The last plea of rejoinder contains important fresh matter, and is follows "And said Belknap says that the said house of representatives .ought not by anything in that replication alleged to have or maintain the said impeachment against him, said Belknap, because he says that although true it is that he did resign his position as secretary of war on March 2d, 1876, by resignation writing, addressed to the president, and the president did then and there accept said resignation in writing, nevertheless it is not. true, as alleged in that replication, that said Belknap resigned his position with the attempt to evv.de the proceedings of the said house of representative to impeach him, hut on the contrary tlicri-iii". he fivers the fact to be that a st :n.iii*.^ committee of said House, known as the Committee 011 Expenditures in the War Department, without any authority from or direction of said House of Representatives, to examine, inquire or investigate in regard to the matters and things set forth in said articles as to the official misconduct of him (said Belknap} had examined one Marsh, and he made a statement to said committee, which statement, if true, would not support the articles of impeachment against him, (said Belknap, but which said statement was of hiich a character in respect to other persons, some of whom had been, and 011c of whom, was so nearly connected with him (said Belknap) by domestic ties us to greatly affect him, and make him willing to secure the suppression of so much of said statement as affected such other persons, at any cost to himself. Therefore, he proposed to said committee that if said committee would suppress, that- part of said statement which related to said other persons, he, (said Belknap), though contrary to the truth, would admit the re.ceipt by him (said Belknap) of all the moneys stated by said Marsh to have been received by him from Evans mentioned in said statement, and haid over by said Marsh to any other person or persons, but said committee declined to accede to said proposition, and Hon. 1 leister Clymer. chairman of said committee, then declared to Belknap that he (said Clymer) should move in the House of representolives, upon statement of said Marsh, for impeachment of him, the said

Belknap. xnlesM said Belknap should resign his position as Secretary of War before noon of the next day towit: March 2d, 1S7'), a:id said Belknap regarding this statement of said Clymer, chairman as aforesaid, as an intimation thr.t he, the said Belknap, could by this resigning, avoid the affliction inseparable from a protracted trial in a form which would attract the greatest degree public attention, and the humiliation of availing himself of the defense disclosed in said statement itself, which would cast the blame 011 said other person, he ieldcd to the suggestion made bv said Clymer, chairman a.s aforesaid, believing that the same was made in good faith .by said Clymer, chairman as aforesaid, ill that he, the said Belknap, would by resigning his position rs Secretary of W ar, secure the speedv dismissal ol said statement, though it involved no criminality on his part was deeply painful to his feelings, and did resign "his position as Secretary of War, the second day of March, 1876, and at 11 o'clock in the forenoon of the dav aforesead. he, Belknap, caused said committee to be notified of his said resignation, and of the acceptance thereof by the President of the United States, all of which was in pursuance and in consequence of the suggestion so made by Clviner, and thereupon the said committee* declared that they .had 110 further dutv to pcrtorm in the premises, and he,

.A

Belknap, submits that while the said Hpuse of Representatives claim that Clymer was active on its behalt in the said pretended examination of Marsh, the House ought *in honor and in law to be estopped to deny that Clymer was also acting 011 behalf of said House in suggesting the resignation of him, Belknap, and ought'uot to be heard to complain ot a resignation thus inducad, and this the said Balknap is ready to verity. Wherefore, he prays that tho judgment of said House of Representatives ought not to have or maintain impeachment against him.

ITHE TREASURY FRAUDS.

April 24.—'the substance of the interview with Mathcw Richardson, of this city, referred to in Pender's statement, alleging frauds in the United States Treasury department, will appear in the Argus to-morrow, ihe Argus says: "Mr. Richardson was a cierk in Treasurer Spinner's bureau, entering upon his duties in the vear 1864. It was his duty to keep the books of the department for the cancellation of moneys, and he was. one of the committee through whose hands such moneys passed. lrank Jones was chief of his division: Bonds and all forms of currency passed through the hands of this committee amounting to many millions ot dollars. Richardson states that in 1S65 a package amomnting to $10,500 was missing^ and was never discovered. A certificate stating the fact that that the money had been lost, was filed. This certificate also stated that the money had been cancelled, which Richardson says was not true. It was Richardson's duty to make out this certificate. His suspicions were naturally excited by the filing false certificates. Thar the $io.rx) was tolen is evident from the fact as stated by him that before he left Washington, in all but $5,000 otthe series had been redeemed. Some time after this transactiod a package oi $70,000 was diverted from the usual course of destruction by the chief of the div ision. A small portion of it was cut up into stripfor binding other packages of the currency. Mr. Richardson was requested by the chief of his divison. to make out the certificate that the entire amount had been destroyed. lie peremptorily declined. When Jones saw that he had made a mistake in his man, he called him out into the hall and said "Richardson say nothing about this, for if vou do you will raise hell with me.'" Richardson was surprised shortly after to learn that Jones had filed a filed a certificate with Treasurer Spinner stating that the $70,000 had been destroyed. Richardson further ascertained that certificates of destruction of currency, instead of being preserved v. are destroyed from time to time, thus removing ajl opportunity to detect fraud. Richardson attempted to secure an investigation, but all efforts failed.

CENTENNIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

The Present Status of the Exhibition.-

WORK TS BEING DONE WITH ALL POSSIBLE SPEED TO MAKE READY FOR

THE GRAND OPENING,

What Portion of the Union is Doiny: the most to Msike the Exposition si Success.

From our Special Correspondent.

Philadelphia, April 24th, 1876.

As might havo been conjectured, the American people are manifestly going to make up in American excitement, American speed, and American rapidity of organization. at the last possible moment, for the calm and cool indifference with which they have all along watched the Philadelphians struggling with what almost proved an elephant to them.

The exhibition is going to burst upon the country with almost meteoric suddenness, apparently, and with the freshness of a flower, that has attained full bloom in a single night, while those who have worked so courageously upon it with little or no general backing, will feel a new impetus for the severe labor :11 remaining to bring the work to a successful completion.

While the exhibitors from distant foreign lands have nearly got their stalls erected and goods in place, the American exhibits are just coming rushing into the grounds at the rate of twelve or fifteen long freight trains each dav, and the American half of the building presents the scene of an overcrowded and driving workshop.

It appears that the national character of the exhibition is to be imparted almost exclusively by the New England and Middle States, the West and South being very small, comparatively, in the way of contributions.

It is to be hoped that this does not throw upon thelv ast the duty of supplying all the millions of visitors that will be necessary to make the exhibition a success.

The claims in the West and South against the gengerly reduction in railroad fares, indicate that the people are awake to the importance of the exhibition, and if thev have not sent many goods, it is because they have not the manufactories as vet, to produce the goods they would like to show.

It begins to be more generally understood that our World's Fair is to be, in many respects, not only the largest and most imposing, but the most important of any yet held on the face of the earth. It is grander in its outward aspect than was either the English or French exhibitions, or the latest exhibition at Vienna.

The French exhibition in Paris in 186S, and the recent Vienna exhibition are the only ones that can hold comparison to it at all in pojnt of beauty and gradeur of grounds and architecture. The grounds in Fairmont Park arc a series of long breezy plateaus with gently sloping lawns and valleys between, gifted by nature with grand old trees and mallow turf, and laid out in drives and walks, with lakes and flowers an.' 'Viuntains like the Palace Parks cf the old world. The genial season is fast bringing forward the foilage and flowers, so that by the time of the opening of the exhibition, Fairmount will be a scene of unrivalled beauty for the principal buildings surpass in architicur.il design any and all connected with anyprevious exhibition.

Competent authorities declare -that man never saw such a collection of machinery as is going up in Machinery Hall around the monster engine, with its two dozen boilers and eight miles of shafting, for the machinery of the universe. The art displav will be magnificent, too. A million dollars worth of paintings came in one collection, and there form but a small portion of the art display.

The little state of Rhode Island is big pride 0:1 account of a colossal granite statue she has sent here. It is twentyone feet high, weighs about thirty tons, and is the largest granite statue of modern times. The figure represents a volunteer soldier, and is said to be, by those who have seen it, and are versed ill art matters, to be cut in splendid form and proportions.

A grand collection of mosaics, consisting of nine pictures and two tables, has been forwarded to this city from the Studis Moglia at Rome. The grc gem of the collection, if. indeed, there be any distinction except as regards size, for there seems to be none in point of artistic merit, is the grand mosaic lmrked No. 1, "The Ruins of Pa?stum." This most beautiful w.ork of art is composed of over 750,000 pieces or small cubes of enamel within a space of five feet eight inches by two feet two inches, and represents clouds, mountains and water, architecture, herbage, figures, trees and flowers with all the science, light, shade, color and perspective a highly finished oil painting. It required the use of more than 10,000 shades of primary colors and many years of labor to perfect it.

Independent of its intrinsic merits, great beauty and imperishable nature it has interest and value as a sample of a curious and peculiar art, an art which Gbirlandali? used to say was the only painting for eternity. This picture is, however, peculiarly estimable for its dedesign. Those magnificent ruins are the most venerable monuments of classsic architecture in Italy, and the most striking existing "records of the genius

came to favorable conclusion 011 the.Sen-jand taste which inspired the architects ot ate bill, and giving eight years additional Greec time to the Northern Pacific Railroad Co., to complete the road.

BRINGHAM ENTERS A GENERAL DENIAL. Salt Lake. Aprfl 2-—Bringham Young says that he has no intention of capturing the Territorial Government of New Mexico, nor is there any truth in the reported settlement between himself and Ann Eliza.

Readers of Eustaces-' celebrated works, —"Travels in Italy." and "Notes 011 Naples." need not be reminded of the enthusiasm with which the author refers to th." venerable ruins of Ptestum.' lie does not hesitate to declare that in all the elements which go to •make up the various phases of artistic grandeur and beauty "there is nothing to equal these ruins on the face of the wide earth.'" And this is the subject which tlic artist has chosen and developed in all its vast expanse of beauty by the force of his genius. A full account of this great work, historical and descriptive, is now in pres# and will be distributed to visitors to the gallery of the centennial exhibition. The pamphlet will also include a brief history of the mosaic art.

The tables heretofore referred to are also magnificent works of art. One of them is about thirty inches in diameter, the double borders being inlaid with mosaic imitations of black marble and green malachite. It is divided into nine sec

#i

tions: the outer pictures consisting of St. Peters' piazza, the Coliseum, the Pantheon, the Temple of Vesta, the Forum and the arch of Septimus Severus, all Roman scenes.

Each of these compartments is separated by six gigantic caryatides, in mosaic imitation of malachite the combined group supporting, on their uplifted arms, the center piece, which tells in stone the story of the foundation of the Eternal City.

The design was brought by Signor Cantelamessa Papotti.of the Italian Commission, -wh6 is one of Rome's celebrated sculptors, and who has gained for himself a wide American reputation. The entire collection will prove one of the greatest attractions of Memorial Hall.

A scheme is now perfected by which visitors to this city will be supplied with coupes, somewhat-after those in vogue in Paris and Vienna for a. few years past. These coupes will be drawn trrone horse, and in summer the top will be lowered, transforming the coach into a light summer phaeton. The great advantage of these carriages will be the low rates at which the fare can be fixed—25 cent for each fifteen minutes the carriage is used. This includes the whole carriage, so that two persons hailing a coupe at the Centennial, for instance, could ride over a pleasant route to the Centennial grounds in half an hour, for which they would\»nlv have to pay 25cents each, an amount which few would refuse to pay rather that to ride in an overcrowded street car. But having reached the end of "\v string, I will close for this week

GRANT* AGAIN,

MRS. BOGG'S INFLI." EXC'E WITH THE PRESIDENT.

Shsuneless Purchase of a Sinecure Office.

Macon, Mo, December 8, 1876.

[C.OXFI DKNTIAL.]

Mrs. Louisa Boggs, St. Louis, Mo.

Dear Madam:Your letteV of the 29th recived. My absence has caused some delav in answering. I can assure you that the President's-wishes would be my pleasure, and the slightest intimation from him that it woidd be a pleasure to him to give you a place and that he would remembe when the pressure comes for my removal which is again on foot, would by all the guarantee I would requjfc. Your com pensation would be liberal and commensurate with the services rendered. Ifyou desire to lend a helping hand, now is" the opportunity, as another raid is about to be made, by whom I do not know. It is on account of my clerk I havedecided to remove him at once, and vow appointment may come much sooncr than anticipated by either of us. I

shall be compelled to have two in place of one if I still remain my place. The chance for you to saw something for the future if now opcti. Can you secure it Answer at Hannibal.

Yours truly, Wm. C. ERFCRT. The above letter is indorsed "on the back as follows

I have no doubt but Mrs. Boggs, whom I have known for many vears, would make a most efficient clerk in the Macon pension office. [Signed] U. S. Grant.

Dec. 23, 1873. A correspondence between Mrs. Boggs Ebert and Clements follows, in which the latter two make repeated bids for her influence. In one of the. letters, Ebert speaks of sending a friend to Washington who will take the responsibility of the change in the office, thus. removing any suspicion from Mrs. Boggs. This letter says:- "This course, I think, will quiet all Investigation and prevent any complication of the President and a certain high official of the government in your own city."

BILLY*McKEE.

He is Sentenced by Judge Dillon this Morning.

TWO TY

to the New York World.

Washington, April 24.—Another proof of Grant's theory that the presidency is a perquisite, worth what it will make for himself and his relations, has been unearthed by the special house commit tee which has been investigating the real estate pool. This time the beneficiary is a Mrs. Boggs, of St. Louis, whose deceased husband was a cousin of Mrs. Grant and a business partner of the pres ident when he was plain Captain Grant in St. Louis a quarter of .1 century ago. The gist of the shameful story is that the woman bartered her influ ence for a sinecure clerkship which paid her one thousand two bund red year, that the President knew of this consideration when he granted her request for a pension agency for the man who had made her the dishonorable pro position, and that she had been receiving the monev without rctunfh'g any equivalent of clerical labor. The^roof is-abund-ant and irrefutable. First. John F. Long Receiver of the port of St Louis and Disbursing Agent for the Government, testifies to having seen a letter from W. C. Ebert, then Pension Agent in Northern Missouri, and who was afterwards turned out to make room for Clements, the man who bought Mrs. Bogg's Presideritial influence, wherein Ebert. who was trying to buy Mrs. Bogg's influence to keep him in the office, made this proposition in writing to Mrs. Bogg's: "If you will get the President through his friendship for you to continue my appointment ns Pension Agent, and will have 100 names transferred from the St. Louis to the Hannibal or Mason districts, I will give you half of the profits.'' The same witness testifies to having indorsed a letter from Mrs. Boggs to the President requesting the appointment of Clements to having written a letter himself to the President making a similar request, and to understanding from Mrs. Boggs that in her letter to the President she told him that Clements had promised her a clerkship if she would get him the agency. Second, there is the testimony of Mrs. Boggs herself, who makes much of the old friendship between her husband and herself and the President, and of tlv kind way she treated Colonel Fred during the Vicksburg campaign: says thj pension agency was given Clements at her request out of pure friendship for her, but admitted the fact of a sale to Clements for a clerkship, the receipt of money from lyni and the fact thiit she did not work for money. Third, there is tlie testimony of the Rev. J. P. Nolan, a minister who lived in the rame house with Mrs. Boggs, corroborating her statement. Fourth, there is the testimony taken today of Mr. Clements himself, who says distinctly that he did promise Mrp. Boggs a clerkship, did pay her money at the rate of $1,200 a year, although she did no worlv, and that her known influence with the President and the evidence he had that she could get what she promised, was the sole and only consideration for which he paid the money. Fifth, there are the letters of Mr. Elbert to Mr. Boggs, a long and interesting correspondence, exhibiting the exact condition of the Boggs Presidential influence market during all the while he, and Clements were rival bidders for it. These letters cover a period something over a year, and are interesting as showing the intimate connection of the president with the whole affair, and as an exhibit of the fact that the sale of the president's influence was considered a perfectly legitimate although somewhat dangerous transaction by those who had the privilege and profit of dickering in it, as will be seen. Mrs. Boggs appears to have opened the subject. Mr. Elbert's first letter is as follows: Untied States Pension* Office.)

St. Louis, Mo., April 26.—In the United States Circuit Court this morn ing. Judge Dillon overruled the motion in arrest of judgment in the Mckee case, and sentenced him to two years in the county jail and imposed a fine of 5.00 dollars. ,'i'he decision, though not unecpected as created great excitement in the city

Judge Krum asked for a stay of the commitment until a petition to Washington, asking for a remission of the imprisonment of part of the senteuce could be heard from. The court granted a stay of two weeks, requiring the defendant to give an additional bond of 25.000 dollars. A stay of two weeks was also granted in the case of on Maguire. a SMOOTIN'IJ affray.

The testimony taken during the last two weeks has been already forwarded to Washington, and embraces the evidence of more than-two hundred witnesses, on the following subjects of inquiry: The removal of the old navy yard to League Island by Nat. McKay the breaking up of the old iron clads the contracts of John Roach, Ncafic & Co. Ward, Dialoge & Co., Stfecle & Co.. Nobblitt, Baown & Nobblitt [the feather firm whia'.i has been supplying the yard with coal. oil. iron, clothing, mechanists' tool*. &c.] A. (i.Gattel 1 & Co.. U. S. Stetson & Co.. the American Dredging Company, and Seyfeit, McManus & Co.. the iron founders who succeeded Pcnnock & Brothers as the favorites of the department in supplying material.

From first to last the committee have had a great deal of trouble in keeping their scerets inviolate, not from the newspaper mqa, ^ut from Secretary Robeson himflfr, who on sevaral separate occasions, through his gobetweens, make overtures to the committee's employees, and tried ejery possible plah to secure a copy of the evidence. Next to the Secretary,^ the greatest sufferer has been Aleck Cattell, and the strain upon his mind during the investigation has been so severe that he is at this moment under the care of his phy ciafn for softening of the brain.
