We referred briefly the other day to
the bill introduced into tho House by
Congressman MARTIN !or the re-selling
of Hsrper's Ferry, and expressed hope
that ne had carefully guarded the i'm
portant interests involved. Since then
we have received copy of the full text
of the bill. 1t provides for receiving the
property back again from the hands
Of those who bid it off at
the sale IN 1869, and authorizes the Solic-
itor of the Treasury, when he deems it
.expedient to subserve the interests Of the
Government, to sell the same again. The
bill seems to have been carefully drawn;
and we hope that sale of all this vslus-
BILE public property may soon be made to
men of capital and enterprise who will
make Hsrper's Ferry hive of swsrming
industry.
