The Potomac backed up the wa

The rains have left roads in bad
condition in many places, and it will
be some time before the mud dries
up.
Mr.. John Martin has closed his
merchantile business and moved on
a farm. He had wet time moving,
being caught with a load of goods

The financial difficulty between

Captain Sperow will, we hope, ex-

THE NEXT ELECTION.

The next State election will be held
in Connecticut. The Democrats, it
is pretty generally conceded will car
ny the State by a reduced majority
from last year. The New York Tri-
bupe's correspondents, who were in
New Hampshire prior to the election
in that State, foreshadowed the re-
suit pretty accurately. The same
correspondents are now in Connecti-
cut and, their letters, from a purely
independent standpoint, indicate the
election of Ingersoll, the Democratic
candidate. A Hartford correspon-
dent of the Tribune says:
"Present indications point pretty
positively to the reelection of Gov
ernor Ingersoll by a majority consid-
erably less than that of last year land
a working majority in both branches
of the Legislature, which will insure
the election of James f. English to
the seat in the Senate which he now
holds by Executive appointment. Mr.
English being a candidate for the
Senate. with, as is now understood,
clear course and no competitors in
his own party, no one who knows
anything of Connecticut politics in
the years when that gentleman was
candidate for Governor will need to
be told that the necessary election
expenses are abundantly provided
for. Mr.. English is a statesman who
pays cash. The money argument
here is with the Democracy. The
other side is poor and, let us hope,
honest"

A few days since Mr.. Faulkner,
from the Committee on Foreign At
fairs, in reporting upon resolution
passed by the Senate, permitting one
of our Foreign Ministers to receive
a silver inkstand from the Queen of
England for meritorious services
rendered that government, made a
lengthy speech 1--WE return thanks for
a copy, against the resolution. Upon
his motion the resolution was indcfi-
nitely postponed.
OF the services of our Senators we
clip the following from the Baltimore
Sun, of interest to our readers, as it
affects the Harper's Ferry property.
The Sun says:
s'On the ninth Of this month the
Attorney General addressed letter
to Senator Davis, of West Virginia,
stating that his desire was to take
any action relative to the Harper
Ferry property which would meet
the views Of the West Virginia dele.
cation, and be for the interests Of
the government and the people OF
Harper's Ferry. To-day Senator Da.
Wis addressed letter in reply to the
Attorney General, which was also
signed by his colleague, Senator Ca
perton. The request is again made
in the letter to the Attorney Gen
eral to dismiss the appeal now lying
in the Supreme Court from the de.
cision of Judge Jackson. The letter
also calls attention to the immense
water power Of Harper's Ferry, and
suggests, in view Of the immense
amount Of paper consumed by the
government, amounting to over one
million dollars last year, that ii
would be expedient to establish great
government mills at that point, to
manufacture all the various quail
ties Of paper needed for government
purposes"
We thought this appeal had been
dismissed some time ago, but if it
has not, we trust it will be, and that
something may be done with the
property to advance the interests OF
the people of the Ferry. In this con-
nection we find in the Washington
correspondence of yesterdays Balti-
more american, the following:
"The question of the title to the
Harper's Ferry property and the
legal status of the B. and o. railroad
upon it will BIZ brought to the atten.

Washington Notes.

From the special washington cor
respondence of the Baltimore papers
of Thursday, we take the following !:
RETURN OF GENERAL MEIGS.
Brigadier-G General M. G. Meigs,
Quartermaster-G eneral of the United
States Army, who had been for some
time on special duty in Europe, re-
turned to Washington quite unsx-
pectedly this morning. General In
gals will be relieved from the duties
of acting Quartermaster General
in few days, and General Meigs
will again assume the Office. The
military and other committees Of the
House will request the General to
appear before them to testify con-
corning contract for headstones and
other subject matters now under in
vestigation.

THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT
The Committee on Judiciary have
agreed to report the articles of inn
peachments in the Belknap case to
the Honse on Thursday. The origi-
nal articles first agreed upon have
been reduced from twenty-five in
humber to five counts, as follows /:
The first charges ex-Secretary Belk-
nap with receiving money corruptly
for making appointments. Second,
with bribery under the statute.
Third, the payment of money to ex-
Secretary Belknap for continuing
men in office. Fourth, with receiv-
ing money and gifts for appointing
persons to office. This count con-
tains sixteen specifications, and sets
forth the specific amount paid to
Belknap. The fifth count, in order
to cover the payments of money made
to Belknap fer Mrs. Belknap, charges
the ex-Secretary with taking money
for the use of himself for others.
The first business in order after
the presentation of the Impeachment
articles and their adoption by the
House will be the election by ballot
of seven members % act as managers
and conduct the prosecution. This
will probably take the remainder of
the week, so that it is probable that
the trial will not be actively under
way in the Senate until the middle
of next week.
| THE HARPER'S FERRY PROPERTY.
The Cabinet at its session to-day
took no action with reference to the
title of the Harper's Ferry property,
although the matter is under
consideration, it having been pre-
sented 10y Attorney General Pierre
pont. Senators Davis and Caperton
and Representative Hereford sent a
memorial to the Attorney General
few days ago asking that the sale
of the Harper's Ferry property be
annulled and taken back, and that
the Government establish extensive
mills for the manufacture Of it's pa
per there, and thus utilize that valu-
able water-power. For some reason,
best known to himself, Mr.. Charles
j. Faulkner refused to sign the
memorial.

About month ago he received

the property which il had been
making, and that the money will
be sent to this country and be dis.
