MORE BRIBERY The Washington CORES
pondent of the Baltimore Gazette of this morn
ing says:
"A MIR. March, of New York, appeared yes
terday before the committee on expenditures
10 the War Department, and testified that he
had obtained contract to post tradershlps at
Fort Sill aud other army posts in the Southwest,
for which he paid the wife of secretary Beknap
$4,000 cash, and $4,000 per annum as long
a. be held the ssme-three years. To-day
Secretary Belknap was notified Of what had
transpired, and was requsted to appear before
the committee, which he did. The testimony
OF MIR. Marsh was read to him, and he did not
attempt defense, but confessed that the state
ments of Marsh were all and singular true. He
begged mercy at the hands of the committee,
and asked that be might be allowed to resign
and no further proceedings taken 10 the mat.
ter. TO this not even the Republican members
of the committee were inclined to listen. The
committee held consultation this evening at
eight o'clock 10 Mr.. Bass room, at the Airing
ton hotel to determine whether it would be
beat to make their report to- morrow, and it was
resolved to do it. A resolution of impeach-
ment will follow, and no matter whether Bek.
nap resigns or not the articles will be prepared
and presented to the Senate early next week. :
Happily for the Secretary, Gen. Sheridan,
whom I'VE all sustain is DOW IN Washington

serves another"

General Sheridan says the Black Hills coun-

villages during the next FIVE or six years. 1t
will cause the extension of the Northern Paci-

North Platte on the Union Pacific to the Black
Hills. He believes that the largest deposits
of gold are further west than where the miners

bearing. The General, however, though not
afraid, has been so fustered by the banditii
