The Articles or Impeachment.
Ry American Press Association.

By American Press Association.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The articles
of Impeachment have all been prepared,
and would have been presented today but
for the lateness of the hour at which the
Committee of the Whole rose. The COM
mittee will not ask to have the articles for
mally communicated to the Senate on the
day of presentation to the House. They
will report them to the House tomorrow,
and ask to have the articles recommitted,
and will ask to send for persons and papers
and authority which they do not now pos
sess. They will then proceed to inquire in
to other charges. Many members OF the
House have become convinced that ifthey
would get at the bottom of the frauds per-
petrated by officials in high places they
must pass some law which will give wit
nesses freedom from arrest for any testi
mony they may give. The policy OF the
Representatives in the House now seems to
be not to object to any investigation that
the majority may desire, and hence when
the resolutions were offered to-day to inves-
tisate the conduct Of officials in the safe
burglary case, and st. Louis whisky ring
cases, the Republican members under the
leadership of Blaine said no objection, and
the resolutions were adopted unanimously

Belknaps House Under Guard.

Ry American Press ASSOciaJlOH.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Major Rich
ards to-day called at Belknap's residence
to relieve the secret service men who had
been placed in the house upon the appre-
hension that Belknap intended to leave the
CITY. He accordingly called at ,Belknap's
residence and there found Caleb Wash.
burne, of the Treasury force, with some OF
the secret service men. Belknap was sent
for when Richards remarked that he had
warrant for his arrest but at the request
of the District Attorney he would not serve
It to-day. In the meantime, however, 1t
was his dnty to place an officer in the house
and officers outside and he hoped it would
not jncommode him. Belknap appeared to
be much embarrassed and his appearance
showed that he has undergone great me'l-
tai agony. He answered in very low tone
that he would have to accept the situation
He then said, "did understand you to say
that there was a warrant for my arrestF'

A Daq/ Oast.

The past two days, balmy and spring-like,
treat after the serverities of alternate wind
and storm. Although it contradicted, the
old saving concerning March, "Comes
in like lion and goes out like lamb"
there has been but little perturbation OF
human feelings, owing to this reversal OF
the laws of nature, or coquetry IN mete-
orology. 1t has been some time since Della.
ware avenue presented the picture that 1t did
on last Sabbath afternoon. 1t seemed to be
the peoples day out, and the seemingly in
ccssant throng presented apicture OF varied
and pleasing aspects; mammas rolled the
ever present baby in their perambulators,
beaux and bellies exercised their prowess in
gossippy talk, staid old gentlemen and
matronly looking ladies were present, and
the mischievous boy who appears to be every-
where, all contributed the different features
of picture that was forcibly suggestive
of the time when the warm days will come,
and we shall all Maying go.
The gloomy woods of the Brandywinc,
were again aroused from their silence by
merry laughter, and the sound of the gush-
ing water, happy voices, the glimpses of
sunshine stealing through the trees and the
twitter Of birds as they flew frightened from
their hiding places, gave foretaste OF the
springtime pleasures, which it is now near
ly time to inaugurate. It verify seems,
from what experience we have thus far had
in March, that the month is going to be
pleasant throughout. To the poor and rich
alike it will be beneficial; to the former, as
the alienation of the seventies of poverty,
and to the latter delightful change, both
of weather and scenery.

THE II EVIVALE,
W0rE tor the Cause Of CATis
fiO2sitv,

ttUU1ty.
Never, perhaps, in the history of VIII
ming on, has there been in progress within
its limits such a religious revival, as that
which is now in operation, and has been
going on in some of the churches for nearly
six months. Yesterday representative of
THE HERALD called upon the ministers Of
the various religious denominations and
learned from them the amount of work ac-
complished in their respective churches.
During the meetings held in Scott NJ. E.
Church, Seventh and Spruce, there have
been 225 persons converted, and 100 joined
the church. The meetings will continue
yet for sometime, as interest in them is
rapidly increasing.
At the Union Church, Fifth and Wash
ington streets, 200 persons are now under
probation. During the revival held in st..
Paul's, in which Mrs. Amanda Smith took
such an active part, 104 members were ad-
ded to the church. In Asbury, Third and
Walnut, revival has been In progress,
until recently, since last Fall; and 233 per-
sons were received as probationists. The
pastor of the church, Rev. Mr.. Kramer,
has succeeded in persuading great many
to conversion since the regular protracted
meetings closed.
A religious revival has also been going
on in the Baptist Churches. During the
six weeks of protracted meeting held in
the Second Baptist Church, Fourth and
French streets, about $50 have been con-
verted, a large number of these have
been baptie d, and on Sunday the right
hand of Fellowship was extended to sixty.
The most lengthy as well as the most sue
cessful religious effort, has been made at the
Delaware Avenue Baptist Church. A pro
tracted meeting has been kept up here since
the first of last September, more than six
months, and that, too, without intermis-
sion. Since the opening of the meeting,
nearly ZOO members have been Joined to the
congregation, and 353 have been baptised
ed to more or less every Sabbath evening,
and every night the church building has
been crowded to excess. The revival efforts
will still continue as long as an interest
is manifested in them. Rev. Mr.. Halde.
man, pastor of the church; has worked un'
relnfttingly, and has indeed achieved q
wonderful work. He has not yet been pas
| tor of the church year, but expects to re-
main notwithstanding the numerous calls
he has received elsewhere.
| Among the colored people, also the work
of regeneration has been going on with un
abated interest for several months. During
the revival held in Zion Church about Isl
persons were converted. At the African
Union Church, a protracted meeting is still
going on, this being it's fifth week, and 49,
have acknowledged Christ: The meeting
will doubtless continue as long as there il
encouragement enough to do SO. A very
successful revival has just closed at the
Bethal Church On Walnut street. The mum
ber of converts obtained were nearly 200
In many other churches throughout th'
city, prayer meetings have been held Twill

The ENl1lS' OF IelNeS.

It will perhaps surprise most of our
readers to learn that portion of the men
connected with the Belknap Disgrace, are
natives of Delaware. and that the head Of
the family are still residents of this State.
It will be remembered that A. J. s. Evans,
of Fort Sill, was the agent who paid the
fees to Marsh, and through him the money
went to Mr.. Belknap. This trader is the
son of Rev. W. Evans, of Lewes,
at the present time Justice of lhe Peace in
that town. The father is an old methodist
exhorter and has another son, Mr.. G. w.
Evans, who resides in West Philadelphia,
and is also miniser. He is retired dry
goods merchant, and is now rich. He with
his brother left Lewes some eighteen years
ago leaving their father mother and broth
er, who still lives there and who is good
for nothing ne'er-do-weil sort of fellow.
The Evans who resides in Philadelphia is
gentleman well thought of and respected
His brother, the trader, is younger, and
| learned business from him. At the COM
| mencement of the war he was resident of
Louisville, where he had married, and al
though he was member of military
company that went with the Confederate
army, he chose trading business with the
| Union forces, and at the close Of the war
had seventeen regiments in his agency for
supplies. The sudden close of the war left
| many soldiers in debt to him, as with many
other suffers, and so he sought a continu-
ance of the business in the Western terri
tories.
His connection with the recent troubles in
the cabinet is well known. The family is
well known in Lower Delaware, and the
onnnoot;nn IF a mamha Of n In SO fro mend
GUS transaction, excites considerable inter
est in Lewes and other places where the
Evans are so well known. The two sons
have frequently visited Lewes and always
have been dutiful and affectionate children,
seeing that their parents wanted for moth
ing.

Mr.. Herman Ball, who was in the employ
OF Col. Henry Buxbaum for six years, has
purchased of that gentleman his stock of
clothing, and will continue the business
at the old stand, Third and Market streets.
Mr.. Ball is an active, go-ahead young man,
and we doubt not he will succeed.
Col. Henry Buxbaum has rented the store,
No. II East Fourth street, and is fitting it
up in handsome manner, for the purpose
of commencing the business of merchant
tailoring there. His many friends in this
city will be glad to hear of his going into

Boat Clasb Gossip.

The fine weather of the past few days
seems to have revived the tagging interest
of the members of our boat clubs and there
now appear to be prospects Of some action
being taken by the Pioneer and Undine
clubs. Ifthis weather continues a week
the Bachelors will be on the river for prac-
tice, but they are somewhat anxious. as
they should be, for meeting Of the Naval
Board. It has been determined upon long
since, that the clubs of this city win take no
part III the regatta. at Philadelphia: but
since the Centennial Commissioners have
decided to erect boat house where clubs
for an inconsiderable fee. may store their
boats, there is considerable talk of having
the Idyl sent there, so that when the regat-
tas come off our oarsmen may have an op-
portunity of witnessing them to advantage,
by rowing with the racers. In conversation
with the members of the different clubs
Yesterday, HERALD representative heard
expressions of regret at the delay OF the
Pioneer and Undine clubs in making pre-
parations for the season. From present In
dications It seems that the consolidation OF
which we spoke some time ago, will either
be consumated or that the former club Will
disband altogether. There is universal re-.
gret felt at the prospect, and it is yet hoped
that some other arrangements can be made.
There is now talk Of the formation on an
other club, but we are not at liberty to say
more than what member of the Bache-
lors said yesterday, that the boat is expect
ed by the next steamer of the Electric Line,
from New York. The proposed club was
talked of somewhat last year, and its Or
ganization is regarded as very probable.
We hope to hear further particulars soon.
