We surrender most of our space hi this iue to comments of the Republican Pros in relation to the I lei knap a flair. What is more dh-gusting than to see Robbins who sold his vote to Stephens in the North Carolina Senate a few years ago, and who whined and cried when caught, passing himself ofTat Washington as a man of par excellence morals? The committee appointed to ar raign Relknap at the Bar of the Senate should be men above sus picion. No man who has ever been guilty of receiving a bribe should be allowed a place - upon it Espe cially should no man who can be bought for the paltry sum of twenty dollars be allowed to pass uion the sins of another. Arc Vance, Leach, Waddell, Joe Davis, Joe Turner, Cox, Robbins or either of them, as honest as old man Toombs of Georgia ? Will either of these worthies come out like men and unload their heavy consciences ? Toombs says the Democrats of Geor gia are too cowardly to acknowl edge their infamy.

As Mr. Marsh received his money, The Fallen Secretary. Our readers have doubtless before this, been made aware of the dis covery of flagrant corruption and malfeasance on the part of William W. Belknap, Secretary of War. The exposure was made through the instrumentality of the 'Com mittee on Expenditures of the War Department," composed of mem bers from both'the Democratic and Republican parties in the House of Representatives. This sudden and overwhelming disgrace of one of the highest functionaries of the Repub lic has been received by all classes with the most profound regret and sorrow, but at the same time with the utmost Indignation! The evidence bearing upon the case may be summed up briefly asf follows : Mr. Caleb P. Marsh, of Ifcw V I rill 1 . I . Laah .HMmAllful , , . m.fTnim, I good. But enough.

Prior to the action of the House n relation to the impeachment of Belknap, he tendered his resigna tion as Secretary of War and it was nromDtlv accepted. The action of a a the President in this case, has been somewhat severely commented upon even by Republican journals, ut we arc loath to believe that penence or our opponents, ine advice of the croakers and others to whom we have referred is cowardly, and smacks of a nervousness born of present - difficulties. ' There is nothing of the courage about it that Is the prestage of victory, nor of the determination required to put a weak enemy to rout. The Democ racy, we 8houiu rememwr, never punished its leaders for their cor rupt practices. For this reason those leaders grew bolder and bold er in their iniquities, until they fin ally seized upon the throat of the government itself, not satisfied with having robbea the Treasury. and attempted to snck the very life blood of the nation!5' WHen the people became aroused to a knowl edge of this5 fact,' the Republican' party grew into existence as a ne cessity of the period. We do not party, and who are now Its most ardent supporters, but who are too modest to lay claim to any of its emoluments. To this end, I secondly suggest, that the Nominating Convention place upon the ticket for county of ficers the name of James Ennis, Esq. , of Buckhorn township.

President Grant was actuated by believe that the necessity has pass Belknap sold u post traders posi tion for twenty thousand dollars, and the entire Republican press of the country and members of the party, loudly denounce the outrage and call for his punishment. lloss Tweed stole from the city of New York millions of dollars, and a Democratic sheritF run him off so that he has escaied the penalty due his crime. "Let no guilty man es cape," say Republicans. "Let us shield our rascals," say the Demo crats. John B. Floyd stole from the government millions of dollars worth of arms and caused them to be used in attempting to destroy the Union. Floyd wa9 a Demo cratic Secretary of War. Jacob Thompson stole or abetted in stealing a large pumber of bonds held by him in trust for the In dians. Thompson was a Demo cratic Secretary of the Interior. The Democratic party not only failed to punish theso men, but promoted them. All parties are liable to have bad men In office. It is a well known fact, however, that theltepublican party always evince a dcsiroKo ferret out and punish its delinquent officials, while the Dem ocratic party not only shield the rascals in their ranks but actually applaud them. Let Belknap bo punished by all means, but at the same time we want to see these Democratic hypo crits feed their own scoundrels from the same spoon. Tweedledum vs. Twcedlcdee. Marsh testifies that he paid Belk nap twenty thousand dollars in consideration of receiving a post trader's position. A lew'years ago Robbins, who now figures so con spicuously as one of the investiga ting committee, and who is one of the committee to arraign Belknap at the bar of the Senate, was con victed of receiving a bribe of twen ty dollars for voting to allow Ste phens, of Caswell, his per diem in the North Carolina Senate. Rob bins begged, plteously for mercy and was finally, allowed to go free. To read Robbins statements and to note his pretended real to ferret out corruption, Is enough to make folks who know the fellow, laugh. What a brazen face he must have? Nothing exposes religion more to the reproach of Its enemies than the worldllness and hardhcarted ness of the professors of it. any other than the purest motives in the prompt acceptance of the re signation. We notice that a few Democratic papers, who desire to promote party ends and gratify a fiendish malice towards the Presi dent, put great stress upon the word "regret," as contained in his letter of acceptance. The President states in substance, that he "received the Secretary's resignation withre- gret." What the President meant, and what every fair minded man will concede, is, that he regretted the Floyd stole millions, and was known to be a dishonest man when he was appointed to be Secretary of War. His thefts from the General Government were bold and defiant, and were not palliated by surround ing circumstances. Yet the Democ racy never lost faith in iiira as a leader, and no act of theirs, as a party, is recorded which even hints in the direction - oi nis disgrace. SEND 26c. to G. P.
