From WASHINGTON.

The house appropriation committee
will undoubtedly attempt to largely cut down
the naval estimates for the ensuing fiscal
year. Robeson wants $2O,S71 500 for the
naval establishment and 81 ,725, 900 for pub
lie works under the direction of his depart
ment, making total of about So, 500, 600.
From So, ,OOO, 900 to $6,OOO,OOO will be Topped
of.
The United States house committee

prejectiles of heavy ordinance, $25,0OO; for
carriages for heavy guns, $4,000; for proving

priatious to $315,OOO

A bill has passed both houses of the
Alabama legislature ratifying the settlement
of the state debt made by commissioners.
This settlement will bring the entire indebt-

a low rate of interest.
Thirty-three mines in Colorado have
been opened to a depth of from 100 to 900
| feet since 1859. Five Of them were idle last
year, but the rest produced ore valued at
nearly 81 ,OO9. Since their discovery they
have yielded $26,98O,OOO.
San Francisco now manufactures fire
crackers instead of importing them from
China. In two factories with $4,000 capital

of 81, 800, fire-crackers to the value of $4,000
were turned out last year at an expense for
labor of 5000.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and West

Gen. Sheridan has received orders from
the president not TO disturb the miners in the
Black Hills. This is good news for the pros
pectOrs, and will doubtless be the signal for
a general exodus of the unemployed in our
large cities to the new EIdorado. Several
expeditions are now forming in Chicago, and
detachments, large and small, are leaving
daily for the frontier, where they will organ
ize and move in large bodies to the gold

| The mammoth passenger steamer Mary
| Bell, bound from Memphis to New Orleans,
owned by Capt. rank Hicks, her commander,
and Alf. Grissom, her chief clerk, took fire
and was burned to the waters edge at Vicks-
/ burg on the 9th uIt. The fire occurred under
or near the forward steps. The origin is I'M
| known. The boat was taking on cotton below
the elevator. The boat and cargo of 5000
bales of cotton, many thousand sacks of cot
ton seed and sundries, and the baggage of all
her passengers, numbering about 200 in the
cabin, destined Cor the New Orleans Mardi
Gras, are n total loss. No lives are known
to have been lost and none injured. The
| Mary Bell was the largest steamer on the
Mississippi river, about six months old and
valued at $4,000, and insured for $4,000
in western offices. The cargo was insured.

The chief cause of the present insur-
rectiOn of the Herzegovinians against Turkey
is, at bottom, the impossibility of obtaining
Justice for Christians in MOhammedau courts,
so that it is useless for the former to become
legal proprietOrs Of land. The Turks and
Slayonic Mohammedans hate and despise
Christians, and generally hold that they have
no rights that true believers are bound to
respect. They may legally acquire landed
property, and may legally testify in court,
but the Turks pay no attention to rights or
Oaths, and do with them as they choose. The
Judges are, without exception, venal to the
last degree. The great reason why the terms
of the Andrassy note are not accepted by the
insurgents is that they know the sultan can
not enforce them even if he is so inclined.
The beys do not believe that frmans of lib
eral import are seriously intended, and pay
no heed whatever to carrying them out.

by eXorbitant charges made necessary on
the part of the trader by reason of the
payment of this bonus. To the best of
my knowledge and belief the above is
true statement Of all the facts in the case,
and as complete as I can remember the
occurrences of 50 many years ago.
In reply to questions, the witness fur
ther stated that subsequent to the death
of the former Mrs. Belknap, in 1870, the
payments were sent according TO the in
struCtiOns of the secretary of war, some
times in bank-nOtes by express, some
times hy certificates of deposit, and some
times he had paid the secretary in per
son. in New York. The payments thus
made would aggregate about 10000.
The witness further stated that, in res
pOnse to the summons to appear before
the committee, he had, on the 23d of Feb
rUbary, been at the secretaTy's house and
spent the night there. He then detailed
at length the efforts made by himself,
the secretary of war and Mrs. Belknap to
COntrive some plan by which full eX-
pOsure would be avoided, his own prOpO-
sition being to leave the country, which
act, the secretary said, would ruin him
(Belknap) To this the witness re-
sponded that, if he went before the COM
mittee, it would also ruin him, for he
(witness) would tell the truth. After
returning to his home in New York, wit
ness received a dispatch from DR.. Viii
liam Tomlinson, brother-in-law of the
secretary, telling him not to leave the
country, as he had good news. Think
ing they only wished to fix up some new
story, witness continued his preparations
to leave. Dr. Temlinson subsequently
called on the witness and suggested that
he should write letter, which witness
did, endeavoring to exculpate the secre-
tary. 1t was very short letter and con-
tanned nothing untrue, but did not tell
the whole truth. Arrangements were
afterwards made by which witness was
not to leave the country, and he was
summoned to Washington, with the re-

MORTGAGES NOT TAXABLE.-The SUI
preme court of California has recently
made a decision of the utmost import
ance. if II Is to be taken as a precedent
in other states. 1t has decided by an
almost unanimous bench, only one out
of five dissenting, and he giving as yet
no reasons for his dissent, that the taxa
ton of mortgages and other evidences of
debt as property Is illegal and Unconsti-
tutional. This decision IS in the broad
est and clearest terms. It meets the
whole subject, rejecting all mere techni-
calities and side issues. The particular
case, that of the people ". the Hibernia
savings and loan society, Is not once re-
ferred to in the course Of the three eiab-
crate opinions by which the decision of
the court is supported. The court means
to assert squarely and positively that the
taxation of mortgages IS illegal, because,
to use the language of Chief Justice
Wallace. Mere credits are a false guam
tity in ascertaining the wealth which is
subject TO taxation as property, and in
so far as that sum Is attempted TO be in
creased by the addition of these credits,
property taxation, based thereon, is not
only merely fanciful, but necessarily the
unconstitutional imposition of an addi-
tional tax upon portion OF the property
already once taxed. ~. J. Tribune.

PORT ROYAL is clearly on the up
grade as a naval station. Nine vessels
are there already, and others coming,
and in a short time there will be assem-
bled in this magnificent harbor the finest
fleet ever gathered in an American har-
Dor. The four-decker, New Hampshire,
will soon be on hand, with Com. Clitz,
the ranking officer. The fleet at Port

A PROPOSITION to abolish Lent will
probably be regarded by many, even of
those who do not observe the fast very
strictly, az startling one but that is
the. proposition which is to be made in
the Reformed Episcopal church. At a
conference held in Philadelphia few
days since by clergymen Of that dcnomi.
nation it was decided to recommend the
policy of abandoning the observance to
the general standing committee, on the
ground that the indulgence in worldly
pleasures before and after Lent is in
creased by way of compensation for en-
forced abstention during the season of
fasting, anduPon the further ground that
uniform moderation of life is the church's
great need, and that this may be better
secured without lenten obscrvanccs than
with them.

The ease and rapidity with which the
Boston forger, Winslow, was captured
while fleeing from justice is another IL
lustration of how nearly as one the
whole civilized world now is, and how
closely it approaches to being one or
ganism for certain definite ends. There
is hardly a nook or corner to which a
criminal can retreat with assurance that
he will not be dragged from it by the
officers of the law He is absolutely
hedged in. Almost before he is out of
port the telegraph has signaled his flight,
so that when he arrives at place where
a few years ago he would have been in
security, he is collared by a policeman
and presently sent home again. Prob
ably before decade shall have passed
we shall have extradition treaties with
all governments, and thus render it al
most a miracle for fugitive from Justice
