TIE HARPER's FERRY PKoPERTY.-The
u S. Government property at I~Iarper's Ferry
was offered at public auction on Thursday last,
by Gen. N. Golf, Commissioner of the u. S.
District Court of West Virginia. The Poto
mac Water Power and Armory property was
started at $50, 900 by W. II. Barton, agent
of the government the B. & o. r. r. 20.
bid S5l, 600, and the property was knocked
down to Mr.. Barton fot the government at
$4,000. Mr.. Barton also bought the site of
the old Rifle Works, on the Shenandoah, for
tbe government, at $4,000. Two lots on
Shenandoah Street "a portion of the old
Arsenal LOTT were sold-one to Mr.. T. A.
Kirwau, at S6S5, and the other to Mr.. L. a.
Montague, at S4O5. Mr.. ". Z. Anderson
cried the sale.
One thing at least is accomplished by this
sale-the Government is again placed in full
possession Of the property, and we are in
formed upon good authority can, if it secs
proper, dispose of it at private sale. This
course, we trust, Cif the Government does not
desire to make use of it itself,) will be pur-
sued. In its present condition it is a source
of profit to nobody, whilst by a proper use of
It as q manufacturing site, it would prove of
immense benefit to the numbers of uuem>
ployed mechanics and laborers of this and ad-
joining counties.
GENTLEMEN will remember that Messrs.
P. Heller & Co, of Winchester, Va, keep a

1t WAS expected that the Vermont
delegation would he divided in their
choice for President. but the many
friends of Mr.. Blaine in this state must
feel somewhat clIa.Iincd that he re
cciVrd only one vote. For ourselves
we have little doubt that the reason
may Ice found, not that the delegates
loved Blaine less. but that they loved
success and the welfare of the county
more. We htli,Vc they were afraid Ia

judgment of the people will in the main
commend their action.
