lBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRrBUyR
WASHINGTON, Friday March %, 1872
The Marquis of Chambrun. IN his testimony in the
French Arms investigation to-day, revealed several
facts that not the less interesting because they
do not have q very direct bearing upon the present
inquiry. First the circumstances under which Gen.
Belknap wrote the letter to the Secretary of State,
in reply to the irregularities implied in REM
ington's letter to lie Cesne, are very in
teresting. According to the testimony of
the Marquis, Mr.. Belknap was very anxious
TO counteract any effect which his Endorsement on
Gen. Dyer's letter of recommendation to Remington
and the seal of his Office might have on the Place
trial in France. He apparently saw the impropriety
of giving such official letter. and desired to send
something after it to modify its effect. The Marquis
ont of friendly feelings undertook to have the letter
reach him through the official channels. in order
that, in reply to 1t, he might give
official explanation. Another interesting piece Of
testimony that Mr.. Rcmin gtcn placed $4,000 in the
hands OF f. W. Peck pay for repairing those testmO-
malls which he took back with him to France. Mr.. Peck
said that this money not to be used to buy test
mOny but those believe that there something
wrong in the transaction find II hard 10 see how 1t should
cost man who well known in Government circles
Remington $4,000 for the letters which he tooI back
with him to France. Another important fact about these
Testimonials ia that they official letters, which went
through unofficial channels to Mr. WashbuTne, American
Minister in Paris and 20 Remington. No Government
is so particular that official communications
shall 20 through the State Department TO foreign Minis
ters and to American citizens abroad, If they are
to be used before foreign officials But, IN this
Gen Spinner wrote directly 10 Mt. Washburne,
asking him TO help Remington in every posi-
bio way, signed 1t IF j. Spinner, U. s..
Treasurer" and instead of sending it through
the state Department, gave it to Remington himself
The same remark is true Of all the other Official letters
including that of Roscoe Conkling which dated

Mr. Harlan strove, by long, petoggnS crossexanl-
nation to shake the Marquss statements in regard to
his interviews with the Secretary OF War Mr. Beknap,
in his testimony did not remember reading or showing his
Mr.. Fish to one. The Marquis said that MI
Belknap read the Endorsement which 1t founded
him voluntarily in the presence OF witnesses, and the
next day read to him the letter itself His testimony
was so positive and straightforward on tis point that
every one present was fully convinced Of his truth
fulness after his cross-examnatiOn than before The
testimony OF the Marquis filled to establish corruption
on the part Of Government officials though t furnished
some grounds for suspicion.

How the Gates Came Aiar.

Twas whispered one morning in hea'
en-,
That the little child-angel May,
In the shade of the great white portal
Sat sorrowing night and day;
How she said to the stately warden,
He of the key and bar,
80 angel! dear angel I pray you
Let the beautiful gates ajar."
II can hear my mother weeping
She is lonely, and cannot see
A glimpse of light in the darkness
Where the gates shut after me;
O turn once the key, dear angel,
The splendor will shine so far"
But the angel answered, II dare not
Set the beautiful gates ajar."
Then up rose Mary the blessed,
Sweet Mary, Mother of Christ,
Her hand on the hand of the angel
She laid, and the touch sufficed-
Turned was the key in the portal,
Unlooscd was the golden bar
And 10 ! in the angel child's fingers
Stood the beautiful gates ajar.
"And the key for no further using
TO my blessed Son shall be given,"
Said Mary the Mother of Jesus,
Tenderest heart in Heaven.
Now there's never a sad-eycd mother,
But may catch the glory afar
Since safe in the Saviour's bosom,
Are the keys of the gates ajar.

GREELEY's M1ssIoN.-"The mission
of Horace Greeley is to blot out the
name of rebel from the books of the,
land" Thus spoke Senator Trumbull
to Northern constituency q few
days since, and the sentiment met
with fervid response from the hearts
of those whoesupport Mr.. Greeley for
tho Presidency. 1t is because tho
people of the South believe that tho
mission of Greeley is 'speace" that
they give him their earnest support;
ahd when q leading and conspicuous
leader of the Liberal Republicans,
and a supporter of Greeley, gives
public expression to such sentiments
as We have just quoted, the Southern
people take new courage in the con-
tict which lies before them. We
have suffered under the government
of hate for more than seven years
we now give our support to man
who comes to us with words Of CON-

THE BALLOT IN ENGLAND Here

TIE BALLOT IN ENaLAND.-Here-
after, voting by ballot will be the
method of expressing tho will Of the
the people at elections in Great Bri-
tain. On the 18th ult., the ballot bill,
which has so long been under consid-
Grafton in. the British Parliament,
was fully disposed of in the House Of
Lords, where it had met with persis-
tent opposition, and it has since re-
ccived the royal assent. Tho bill
nasscd is the bill Of the Commons,
with two amendments by the House
of Lords. This is deemed an exper-
mental measure; indeed, the opera
sion of tho law ceases in 1880, unless
a new bill replaces it then or earfrer.
But there is not the slightest proba.

taken from the pcopleafter it has once
been adopted, though it is likely that

DISCOVERY.

A new force, infinitely superior to steam,
in fact of power unlimited, has recently
been patented in France. A limit, a min-
imum. perhaps, is, however, mentioned,
namely, "a force of 10000, 900, 900 kilo-
grammes, equal to 500, GOO, 900 steam
horses" We are told that this marvellous
power is obtained by the principles Of the
equality of preston, hydraulic, pneumatic
weight, and absolute vacuum, and a new
distributor cOncentractem-tor which we
feel incompetent to supply an English
equivalent term-but it is also called an
accumuIator of power and, it is added, is
set in action by the four general movements
known and practised in steam engines.
Moreover, one man is amply sufficient to
guide what is called the "acceIeratlve and
non-reactionary force and speed" of this
titanic motor. 1t is not necessary to give
the number ofthe patent, or the name of
the inventor, rs the new force as to be ex-
hibited in action on the Seine and on the
railways in the month of June next, and
all who are interested in such matters are
requested to take notice Of the fact.-The
British Trade Journal.
