WASHINGTON, March 1.-The pro.
foundest sensation that has startled
this country since tine firing on Fort
Sumter will follow tomorrow when
the committee on expenditures in the
War Department reports to the House
that w. W. Belknap, Secretary of War
has been found guilty, on his own con-
fession, of high crime and misde-
meanor. The facts are these:
A Mr.. Marsh, of New York, appear
ed yesterday before the committee
aforesaid, in obedience to subpoena
served On him last Saturday, and tcsti-
fed that he had obtained a contract to
post tradersbips at Fort Sill and other
army posts in the Southwest, for which
he paid the wife of Secretary Belknap
$40, 900 cash. and so, 200 per annum as
long as he held the same-three years
To-day Secretary Belknap was notified
of what had transplred, and was request
ed to appear before the committee, which
be did. The testimony of Mr.. 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 he might
be allowed to resign and no further pro-
csedings taken in the matter.

THE CITY HALL BELL.-This morn
in5, Lewis Paynter, chairman of the
City Council Public Buildings Com
mittee, tested the City Hall bell, with
4 view to fixing it so that its full vol
ume of sound can be distinctly heard.
He proposesto lower the bell four feet,
so that its mouth will be opposite the
opening in the tower, and also thinks
about rigging it so as to be rung by
swinging. A heavier striking hammer
may also be procured. The difficulty
Of the hours not being plainly struck
is caused, MIR. Paynter thinks, by the
light weight of the clock-works that are
not strong enough to strike with a
hammer heavier than the present one.

ALLEGED DEFICIENCY.

A DEFICIENCY SAID TO HAVE BEEN DIS
COVERED IN THE ACCOUNTS OF THE LATE
WATER REGISTRAR.
For some time since, rumors have been
in circulation to the effect that deici-
encysof about $500 had recently been dis
covered in the accounts of Chas. Burton,
Jr., late Registrar of the Water Depart
ment.
Recently the Mccullough Iron Com
pany wishing to have the water assess
ment of their new works regulated, called
at the Water Department Office and de-
sired to have it fixed upon the same basis
as the Diamond State Iron Company S
assessment. An examination of the
books showed no record of a receipt Of
water tax for 1875 from the latter Com
pany, and when the Chief Engineer
called their attention to this fact, they
produced their receipt for their tax,
$s0447. The books showed no record for
this tax, as the stub from which the re-
ceipt was detached had been removed
from the book. Thus the books tailed
with the Registrars cash account, and
the Auditor failed to discover any irregu-
larity.
The affair, we are told, will be brought
up for investigation at the meeting of
Council, this evening. The amount has
been made good by note given by M.
NJ. Child. Mr.. Burton's official bonds
were cancelled in November last.

Police Gases.

l.. +. Adair had a hearing, last even
ing, on charge of interfering with a
police officer in the discharge of his
duty. 1t appears that officer Meekam
was coming along Fifth street with a
prisoner, yesterday afternoon, carrying
a pistol in his hand, when Mr.. Adair
demonstrated with him for carrying his
weapon in such careless MANNER
Hence his arrest. After hearing the
accused was discharged.
William Price, COL, for the larceny
of a quantity of rags from Jessup &
Moorc's paper mill, was held in $500
bail for appearance at Court, and com
mitted to Jail in default.
A colored woman, named Eliza
Price, became so excited and violen!
at one of the colored churches, last
night, that she was taken to the police
station. During the night she became
almost crazy, and had to be gagged in
order to still her cries. This morning
she became more quiet and was re-
leased.

To get the residue of the money with
out making it hard on.a few and with
less trouble, think, than any other
way. We shall iDaugurate it here
within the next ten days and shall ask
all the other cities, towns and villages
in Indiana to do the same. The plan
is as follows: In each place the ladies
are asked to cooperate, and in city
like Wilmington, the Opera House or
principal hall should be used, and a
small admittancc fee, say 10 or 25c. be
charged. Every person who attends
must bring pound package of some
thing. You may have what other en-
tertainment for the time you please,
but the main point is to have good
jolly fellow as auctioner, who shall
sell at public auction for cash TO the
highest bidder for the benefit of Della
wares headquarters, every package.
No package to be opened until all
sold.
In this way, every neighborhood
contributes, and there may be enter
tainments of the kind at private houses
as well rs public halls. The great point
is to see that some influential persons
