Secretary Belknap was the first member of an American cabinet ever compelled to leave that office because of malfeasance and crooked practices. On the first of March, 1876, a committee of the house of representatives came into the possession of evidence implicating him as guilty of gross malfeasance, in the sale of the right to sell goods on the western frontier and other criminal acts, to which he had confessed before the committee. On the second of the same month he tendered his resignation, which Grant promptly accepted. Articles of impeachment were at once prepared.
