The second auction sale Of the ef-
fects of the late Adam Hill took place
yesterday. The chief bone Of conten
tion among the bidders was the shop,
which was run up to $4,000, and
knocked down to Joseph Jordon at
that price. Two lots, adjoining the
shop, were sold to William Crowther
for $155 and $l65 respectively. Five
acres in Anaheim extension were pur-
chased by A. S. Adds for $ll2 so.
McDermott bought the most of the
blacksmith tools, etc., and Grimshaw
bought the lumber. The prices real
lied on the property were consider
ably larger than the previous sale. j.
H. Short officiated as auctioneer.
We were taken to task yesterday
about our folly in urging the erection
of Alden Drying Works by public
subscription. The true way, we are
told to secure the erection of such
works in our midst was to present to
outside capitalists accurate statistics
in regard to the quantity of bearing
Muscat vines and fruit trees in Ana
helm, Orange, Santa Ana, Westmin-
ster, Tustin City and other places in
the Southern end of the county. The
suggestion appears to us to be 80 good
that we propose to act upon it imme-
diately, and hope in short time to
present such favorable showing as
to induce the Alden Company, or
some capitalist to erect works in Ana
helm.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April l.
The Democratic caucus bill was
offered on Tuesday last, by Mr..
PAYNE of Ohio and on q motion to
suspend the rules received only 81
votes to 150 against it. Nearly all
the votes for the bill were from the
Democratic side of the house.
But ss was predicted in previous
letters neither tho Hard money
nor the per Sc greenback among
the democratic, men voted for the
bill, and it is upon thought that
the finance question will be drop
ped as Reno sometime since sug-
gested. The acuteness ofthe Re-
publican party leaders has never
been more consplcuously display
ed than in the way they have
handled this finance question.
They have had absolute control Of
all the departments of the govern
ment for fifteen years and were
the authors of the system of finance
"the direful cause of all our woe,'
and now they deity made of it a
wood horse toTntroduce confusion
in the democratic citadel. Their

could not grapple with the mon
ster they had worked and they
evaded it. Now that the demo

facts, charges that Belkuap was induced to

fuene and request Of Marsh, and that

WASHINGTON. March 3l.-F. c.
Tapler was again before the Post
Office Committee today, and testi-
He'd substantially as yesterday, the
the books of f. z. Sawyer being
produced and his statements cor
roborated. These books showed
that prominent in all the transac-
tions from 1862, when Randall was
Postmaster General, down tn the
middle of 1872, Was Thomas Hood,
king of the Post Office lobby. He
was paid over $4,000, and was
presented with a gold watch and
numerous bills for sundries paid
by Sawyer, This Hood was Gov
er for more rascality than can be
found out by this Congress. He
was not potent with Randall and
Creswell. He received over $30,-
600 for securing payment of a
claim for printing postal routes in
the Washington papers, and is now
the Auditor of the Supreme Court
Of this District of Columbia, which
is q position he is eminently fitted
to gil, his reputation emitting him
to the confidence of everybody
who can pay his price for services
rendered. The books of Sawyer
also showed that over 100000 was
paid on account of him being
disguise for covering bogus con-
tracts. The Presidents brother
n-law, Louis Dent, was well paid
for his services rs attorney ex.Con-
gresham Clarke of Texas got $500
while he was a member of Con-
gress. D. o. Floyd, contract clerk
in the Post Office Department, re-
ceivcd 500 q month for his SER
vices. Judge Pascal was Sawyer's
attorney for several years
and his fees foot up $4,000, "Un-
known tsupuosed to be Rontt, got
q gold watch costing $3.50, and
Johnson's attorneys got over $l6,-
600.
The expense account, not enter
ed until May 1875 has the follow
ing remarkable record Of transao-
tions in 1872:
Expense account to F. p. Saw
yer, attorneys fees and costs, paid
in purchase of contracts $73, 3,846."
And, again, the entries of the
hook show that $4,000 was paid
10 attorneys. The explanation of
the attorney business is that the
officials in the Post Office Depart
ment received at least one half the
amount paid to attorneys. No
man whose business was honestly
conducted had any reason for be-
ing taxed as Sawyer was, and no
man who was doing an honest bus
iness would have expended such
sums as Sawyer did. Members of
the committee are confident that
the Post Office Committee Of the
House, which in 1872 was investi-
eating the very charge now made
clear by the position Of the books
of the late Mr.. E. p. Sawyer, who
then swore that he never spent a
cent in purchasing contracts, re-
ceived part Of the 81 10000 charg-
ed to expense account. The books
OF Sawyer show how fearfully cor
rupt the Post Office Department
was under Randall and Creswell,
particularly the latter, How poor
men could build rows Of elegant
brick dwellings on a clerks salary

Republican Senate for continuing
the expendition of $e,0OO,OOO per

The entire force Of the admins
tration seems TO he brought to
hear To secure Conkling delegates
to the Cincinnati Convention and
the democrats ought to heartily
aid In this movement for no other
candidate, except Morton, could
be so easily beaten as "the favor
ate son of New York.
Last night the House elected
Messers Lord, Knott, jerks, Ne
Mahon, Hynde, Wheeler and Hoar
10 manage the impeachment case.
The two last named are republicans
aud all are good lawyers. Secre-
tary Belknap has employed ex-Sen-
ater Matt. Carpenter and other
distinguished lawyers to conduct
his defence. They will first plead
to tie jurisdiction, claiming that
Belknap's resignation prevents
impeachment. This is an inter- (
esting question that has never yet
been before the senate and the
judgement on 1t will be looked for
with interest by all parties. 1t 10
thought that the legal question
raised will be decided without any
partisanship. The bill making sil-
yer dollars legal tender in all
sums up to fifty dollars, and small.
er silver coins in all sums to
twenty-five dollars, passed the
house on Friday. The Treasurer
10 authorized to issue these coins
f3r the redemption Of fractional
currency. The Christiancy re-
solution a subtitute for that Of
Senator Morton directing in invest
igstion Of the Mississippi election
passed the Senate by nearly
strict party vote, Senator Key OF
Tennessee the only democrat vot-
ing for the bill. c. S. Bell, form
erly of Jackson Mississippi testi-
fed that he had been employed as
detective in the Interior depart
ment and was sent by the Presi-
dent and Attorney General to St
Louis to act as a spy upon District
Attorney Dyer. He says that the
Private Secretaries Babcock and
Luckey paid him to steal any pap
ers he might find in Dyers office
that would convict Babcock.
One item of News from Europe
is portentous. 1t is said that the
Czar of Russia will soon abdicate
in favor Of the Czarowitch. The
former has been the steady freind
of the Emperor William and Bis
marck and the latter is we'll know
to have an aDtipathy to everything
German. Several of the Russian
papers are openly advising the
Sevians and Monteregrins to assist
the Herzegovinians. The Czaro-
witch is one Of the ablest generals
in Europe and is Supposed to have
great military ambition. The pur-
chase of the Snez canal by Eng-
land strengthen her position in
England, and the great acces-
sion to the power of the German
Empire have aroused the jealousy
Of the Russians, and it is thought
that this movements portends an
effort to extend the Russian EN-
pire to the Bosphorus and consoli-
ate it's power by establishing a
Sclavic empire on the borders of
Germany. Such resolution upon
the part of Russia wOald plunge alp
Europe into the bloodiest war Of
centuries. MEMO.
