his claim the fee was not greater than the
service was worth. The claim amounted
to nearly $4,000. and for all practical
purposes it was worthless. For six years,
it seems, the claim had been regularly and
unhesitatingly rejected by every officer to
whom it was submitted. When Belknap

were promptly reversed, and the cash as

While Mr.. Bass was attending for the
first time meeting of the committee on
war expenditures, and bearing read the
testimony which consigned Belknap to IL
fanny, he was called to the White House by
a special messenger from the president.
What occurred at that conference has not
been disclosed, and of course was known
only to those present. It might be inter
esting to learn the object of that sudden
summons, especially as, according to the
statement of Mr.. Blaine, Marsh left Wash
ington within an hour after this meeting.
Mr., Blaine seems to have had very re-
markable knowledge of Marsh's move
ments. and perhaps may be able to tell
more than he has yet divulged. Did be

any of his intimates confer with Marsh

How to Get Marsh Back.

On whom the culpability of letting Mr..
Marsh go rests, is matter of comparative
unimportance. What is needful now is to
get Mr.. Marsh back; and there is one way
to do this. Mr.. Knott was emphaticaly
right when he made the following remarks
on this subject:
sit is in the power OF one man TO have Mr.. Marsh
simple plan and one known to the legal profession
| from the earliest dawn OF Jurisprudence. the
president oil the United States really, honestly and
sincerely desires the impeachment, Indictment, and
punishment of the late secretary of war; whose
enormous crimes have disgraced his own admins
trat and caused every American cheek to mant G
with shame ali that he has to do is to give assHr-
ance to the witness that he will come before the
tribunals and tell the truth the whole truth. and
and Mr. Marsh will be in Washington in forty eight
| hours"
The practical step proposed by Mr.
Knott is the only effective thing to be done
in the premises, the only course at all like
ly to effect the return of Mr.. Marsh.
What the house can do is this: it Car
pass resolution, unanimously and prompt
ly, requesting the president to tender {
full pardon to Mr.. Marsh. The presiden
has power to pardon before as well as aftel
conviction. This is an adjudicated ques
ton. And if, after such request. made
heartily, without dissent, by the represent
atives of the people, he should persist il
withholding pardon so essential to tn,
ends of justice, on his single head woul'
rest all the blame. and it would not res
lightly. There is no way to break up tn
rings but to get the testimony of some Q
s the ring men. No witnesses exist outsid
the ring. The government officers VIII

they are protected. The house has alread
passed an act for the protection of sue
cases. Why does not the senate concur a
once, and send the bill to the president 70

Dirty Water.

To the Editors of The Argus. saH axe
The article in the Union, of this morn
ing, in reference to the respective condi
ton of water in the mains and in the river,
is full of the most glaring errors, and
shows an ignorance of the most COM
mon principles of engineering as we'll
as want of candor 10 its endeavor to make
as good showing for the water works man
agement as possible. 1t is well known to
all takers of water in this city that, in the
present state of affairs, the water drawn
from the service pipes contains at least
500 per cent. more earthly deposit than the
water dipped directly from the river.
This is principally due to sccumlations of
| mud in the mains and service pipes The
test described in the Uiaon, of taking
| water directly from the hydrant at the
| water works before it has traversed any
| portion of the dirty mains, is manifestly I'M
fair 1t is not supposed by any person
that the filter is worse than useless, and
that the water becomes dirtier by passing
through it. There should have been, how
ever, at least two filters constructed. so
that one could be cleansed from time to
time while the other was in use. All dead
ends of pipes should be provided with
securing valves, which should be opened
occasionally to prevent the accumulation
OF deposit there Our hydrauts offer a
partial substitute for the scouring-valve
and should be opened at least once a
month and fire pressure applied. IF this
were done at present the difference in the
quality of the water would at once be made
manifest t
The attribution of the increasing muddi.
) ness of the water in the river, from year te
year, to engineering improvements, is
: sheer folly The only Improvement of the
river of any importance above Rock Island
by which the channel has been straighten
ed or interfered with to any extent, has
been made on the Rock Island rapids
IL this locality, chains of rock formerly
e extending across the channel anG
D lobsructing the same, have been removed
y and the rock deposited outside the channe
!, limits, nor has the current been appreci
y ably increased.
8 The real cause of the increasing muddi
ness of the river is due to the grester ex
h tent of cultivated lands and more peIfec
a system of drainage. The water, whicl
y formerly trickled slowly over grassy grouD'
d or through meadows imperfectly drained
q now finds its way rapidly to the rive
5 through fields of ploughed land, and wher
e formerly but little earthly sediment wa
'e taken up and the greater portion of tina
ID dropped again before it reached the river
?, at present the water comes iato the rive
charged with mud.
r The amount OF sediment attributable t
the wash of the banks remains practical
&c the same.
e. This is the true cause not only of th
increasing muddiness of the water but
N the increased quantity itself and of th
greater size and devastation of the food
t in the lower river.
