Ah la UUUCIBIUUU U1UW Air. l>t'lkiup S CUU1J5C1 uuvc matured the lino or UeloDco which they propose to use betore the Scuute, uud that, substantially, they believe themselves able to prove litis:?They will claim that the arrangement with Marsh was made by the Mrs. Belknap now dead; that he received for her the lirst payment from Marsh without uny suspicion ou his part that it had any relation to the Kort Sill tradership or to any irregular transaction; that utter Mrs. Belknap's deuth Mrs. Bowers, tho present Mrs. Belknap, said to him that money would be sent regularly by Marsh, which he understood to bo instalments of profits ou Dioney of hers Invested by or in tho possession ol Marsh; that under this impression ho actually sent to Mrs. Bowers at Cincinnati various sums which he thus received from Marsh, and, dually, that when ho married Mrs. Bowers ho bud no lurther occasiou to send tho money away, but supposed it to bo a part of her regular income from the lortunc lolt her by bcr previous kusband. It is not understood that tbis Is Mr. Belknap's own theory, but tbut it is the line of defcnco proposed by his counsel us likely to be susceptible of proof on the I rial. They seem to lorget, however, a letter Irom Genera) Gnersou to the Adjutant General at Washington, dated Fort Sill, February 118, 187'd, in which ho reports the complaints ugalust Evans fc Co. and the reply of the 11 im that they could not sell more cheaply because they "were obliged to pay $12,000 yearly to a Mr. Harsh, of New York city, who, they represent, was first appoiuted post trader by tho Secretary of War, tor their permit to trade. *' This tetter, which recites the Complaiuts and the excuses of Evans at considerable length, hears this indorsement;? lieceived in tho olllce ot the Adjutant General March 9, 1872.

GENERAL SHERMAN IN WASHINGTON?HIS INTERVIEW WITH TnE PRESIDENT AND SEC RE- | TAUY OF WAR ?PROBABLE RETURN OF ARMY HEADQUARTERS TO THE CAPITAL. General Sherman arrived here this morning from St. I.ouis and held two consultations with the Secretary of War, who, It appears, had expressly summoned hlra. Secretary Tail and General Sherman repaired I together to tlio White House, and had an interview ; with the President. General Sherman is extremely | reticent on tho subject of the proponed rotransler of j Army Headquarters to Washington, which la under- | stood to be tho object of his visit. "1 have dodged all correspondents," said he, "as t j 00 not like to talk about things that are undone. All j 1 can > at present is that I am very well pleased to see Judge Talt as Secretary of War; that porlect har- j tnony exists between us, and that we shall try to do ' about what is right for the army." During lurther conversation ho declared that he had ' determined not to transfer his Uinily Iroin St. Louis, | even It the Army Headquartors should be removed to i Washington. "Ob, 1 can come quickly enough to Washington," he aid. The whole conversation left the Impression that tho President and Secretary of War had acquiesced In all of Geueral Sherman's wishes with regard to the manage, nieut of the army, aud that his postttou as General of the Army will no longer be a merely nominal unit General Sherman will remain hero two or inree days, and during this time the question or transfer will be finally settled.

He was soon at tbo Arlington Hotel on the inurning ol that day at breakfast. latter on ho j conversed through the cloecd door ol his room with a j friend who had called to see hun and who was to meet > him when ho had finished making a change ol toilet, j tn appointment thai was never kept. A glimpse oft him was next caught on fonusylvanta avenue, and some say he flitted once across tbe floor of the House sf Representatives during the course of the same day. But hero all trace of him stops.

MARSH BEFORE CLYMF.Il's COMMITTEE?THE THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLAR 8TOBI MELTED INTO THIN AIR?THE CONvtllSATION AT THE ARLINGTON MISUNDERSTOOD?THE FLIGHT TO MONTREAL, AND WHY?THE TRADEB8HIF8. Mrs. C. 1'. Marsh came into tbe room of the Committee ou Expenditures in the War Department to-day, accompanied by her ha?baitd, who introduced her to Mr. Clymer, tho chairman of the committee. In reply to au inquiry she said she arrived here this morning. Thn ?')inlrnmn iiilnriiwul h*?r t hut thev wiuhoit Id examine licr as a witness. Sho was then sworn. The examination was conducted by Mr. Iianlord. She testified that she loll Cincinnati in 1805, where she formerly resided, uud has lived in New York most of the time since that year; alio had known Mrs. liower (now Mrs. Belknap) since 1809, and had been a( the same place with her iu Cincinnati four years; Cincinnati was her home, and she revisited that city twice a year, staying there two or tour weeks; she met Mrs. Bower in Now York, where Mrs. Bovver was her guest; Mrs. Bower was a widow ut the time; the wit. ness commenced housekeeping in New York in the summer ot 1871; she went to Kurope in company with Mrs. Bower the last ot Juno, 1872, and knew that Mr. Pendleton's namo was on the list of passengers. Alter further interrogation she was asked whethe she had any conversation at any time Willi Mrs. Bower now Mrs. Uelkuap, relative to tier lutcrest iu the Ken lucky Central Kailroad claim. The auswor was, "Two or threo weeks ago, at the Arlington Hotel." At the tune witness asked Mrs. Uelkuap whether she ever received any money on account of the claim the witness told her she heard she received $70,000. Mrs. Ilelpknap replied, "The claim was for only $100,000; how could I receive $70,000 V" During that conversation the witness was in a slate of excitement aud dislross; Mrs. llclknnp was a friend of hers, and tho witness felt much interest on heruccount; she hud simply mentioned to Mrs. Uelkuap an Idle rumor; she hud always talked to Mrs. Uulknsp as she would to her sister; she hud heard tho rumor for over a year; sho related tc General Kiddoo tho conversation between herself and Mrs. llelkuap; she did not know ol Mr. l'cudletou paying monoy to Mrs. Uelkuap on account ol the Kentucky llailroad claim or of making tier presents; sho never heard llio Secretary of War say anything about the contract between her husband and Mr. Evans. Ou examination by Mr. Itobblns the witness said she understood Mrs. Belknap as denying that she received anything, and meant to convey that impression. In rcsiHiuso to a qucstiou by Mr. Clymer the witness said sho saw Mr. Clymer but onco, and that was three months ago; it was at the breakfast table at thu Arliug. ion Hotel; her husband presented her to Mr. Clymer, but their short conversation had no reference to thu matter before the committee. Mr. C. P. Marsh was recallod and interrogated by Mr. Clytuor. Ho testified that ho left Washington for New York the day tho impeachment report was presented? namely, tho 2d of March?and did not then design going to Canada. y. Ou the evening of Wednesday you came to my lodging and saw tno a moment; tell what transpired? A. Prom something said at the dinner table 1 inferred that Uclknap was not only liable to impeachment but to criminal prosecution; I said to you 11 tho Secretary ii in danger I am in danger, when you said, "Ob, you are not iu danger." Mr. Clymcr?1 did not attempt to alarm you? A. On the contrary, you pacified mo; I was alarmed when I camo to you; I went back to Now York easy when you said I was in no danger. Q. When you reached New York what induced you to conclude to go to Canada ? A. Something in tho newspapers on Friday morning concerning my testimony, all of which was published; 1 read tho remarks In the House that the Secretary of War was not only liable to imjieachment but to criminal Indictment; I therefore thought that if the Secretary w?s lu danger 1 was In danger as well; I consulted a lawyer, who made an exhaustive examination of the case; tho lawyer did not think I could be indicted, but il 1 should bo I could not be convicted; his counsel said there seemed, however, to be some danger; this very much ularmed me, and determined mo not to remain in New York: I left early iu tho aliernoou of Friday for Montreal; this was the first time I heard it said that I bad commitiod an olfence for which I might bo Imprisoned. Mr. Bass?And Mr. Clymcr told you on Wednesday night thoro was uo danger to you? Mr. Cly mor?I said that Mr. Marsh could not bo sent to prison for anything he had said before tho committee. Mr. Kohbins?That was true. The witness said that ho left New York for Montreal at four o'clock on the afternoon of Friday, and reached there tho next morning at half-post ten o'clock. Mr. Blackburn?Had you then heard that tno government authorities bud concluded- to prosecute you as well as Secretary Belknap? A. 1 am not positive; 1 might have seen such a statement in tho papers. Q. It was said you hesitated when at l'oekskili as to whether you would proceed to Montreal? A. 1 did hesitate ; I thought tnal III had o!londed the laws of my country 1 would stand trial; it a train had been going back to New York 1 should have taken passage iu it, but as ?hn AiiiuiyitA trim wit nnmtr fn Montreal I nrrtr#i??i1<wl thilhcr. Mr* Marsh being interrogated as to why she went to Montreal, said that seeing in a morning paper that her husband bad Jumped oil' the train she followed the next morning, fearful that lie bad been injured. Mr. and Mr* Marsh then left the room. Messrs. Alvin C. heighten, James l.cighton and Soth Arnold, post traders, wero respectively examined, and tho facts elicited that General lledrlck received large sums lor obtaining one of the uppointments; that $300 per month was paid Oreille Grant and $1U0 contributed for electioneering purposes. J. if. Hammer tcsltllcd that he obtained the appointment ol post trader at Kort Gibson at tho request ol ex Senator McDonald, of Arkansas, who asked lor it as a personal lavor. Tho witness paid no money what ever ior tho appointment, but had been assessed and paid $100 to the Itepubllcun Executive Committee at Washington. He Imd no partner*.

It reduces tbe stall of all general officers, and requires the General of tbe Army to report reforms to Congress an. Dually and to look to economy In all branches of the army. The bill is approved by the testimony ol many ol the best officer* of tlie army. It is a reduction of abeut two hundred officers, and proposes reforms wblvb. If adopted, will, It la claimed, add greatly to the tfllcieacy of the army. : HERALD, SATURDAY, 1 OBITUARY. PAUL DAHLGBEK.
