DEMANDS INVESTIGATION.
Samuel X. Church Files Petition With
Chief JIstice bingham.

A petition by Samuel R. Church, request
ing that his conduct as justice of the peace
in a certain case be investigated, was to-
Gay presented to Chief Justice Bingham OF
the District Supreme Court.
In his petition Justice Church states that
against the Fidelity and Deposit Company
of Maryland was tried tefore him and that
in petition for writ of certiorari to re-
move the record in the case to the District
Supreme Court it was charged that JUS
tice Church had misconducted himself as a
Gicial discretion. and had acted wantonly
and arbitrarily to fnjure and Cypress the
Fidelity and Deposit Company. and had
willfully denied the company a fair trial
and the right of appeal.
Afterward, 1t is stated, Judge Cox
quashed the writ Of certiorari, but allowed
an appeal to the Court Of Appeals. The
latter, It is further stated, has affirmed the
ruling of Judge Cox but has stated that II
the charges against Justice Church are
trre they constitute a grave reflection on
Church in his official capacity, and that IL
he acted as charged he has seri-
his office. The Court of Appeals
also said, in its opinion, that it
is the duty and within the jurisdiction of
the District Supreme Court to supervise the
action OF justices of the peace, 10 correct
any abuses of the Office and to compel
proper action in the premises.
Justice Church declares the charges to be
utterly false, and therefore asks that an
investigation be held.

Col. Aliens Report On improving the
Potomac.

Col. Allen. Corps of Engineers. has made
q report to the chief of engineers of opera
tions for the Improvement of the Potomac
river during the month Of January. from
which 1t appears that dredging In the Vir-
ginia channel was carried on to some ex-
tent by the contractor, A. M Clegg of
Washington. The channel was dredged full
width for about 40 feet of it's length, and
the material. to the amount of $40 cubic
yards was deposited on the reclaimed area
The river was frozen over early in the
month. but by the 10th ultimo 1t was en-
tireiy free from Ice and remained SO
throughout the month. Col. Allen says
that a double crew of men was employed
on the Jredge, which was operated by night
as well as by day; but owing TO its bad
condition q great deal of time was lost in
making repairs to important parts Of the
machinery. The average amount excavated
per engine hour was about As cubic yards.
which Col. Allen says Is far below the re-
ouirements of the work. The attention of
the contractor has been called to the mad
sQuacy of his dredging machine rs well as
70 its condition, with view to correc-
ton Of existing unsatisfactory conditions

The friends of the treaty do not intend

recently other questions have been allowed

tion or such Importance should he consid-

Opposition Claim 10 BE Ready.
Ine opposition have said that they were
ready for a vote at any time and. there
lore. they should not endeavor TO proIong
the consideration unreasonabiy.
For them to do 50 would seem to indicate
lack OF confidence in their own boosted
strength. Yet they are suspected of want
iEg delay and they may endeavor in one
way and another TO put OF final action.
If the final struggle has got to he over
citing q resolution through the two houses
OF Congress they want the initiative siep
to be taken as late as possible in the SEES
sion.
Il Speaker Reed is going to make an ac-
tive flet' against the resolution, il Will
serve him better TO have the question come
over TO the l. "se after all or anyhow mos,
OF the regular session work has been dis
posed of.
Sentiment fn the House.
1t is regarded as pretty certain that what
ever may be Mr. Reeds designs he cannot
II he desires. get majority of the House
i'm opposition to annexation. IL would be
a bold thing for him to attempt to smother
the resolution with the power of the com
mittee on rules. He would probably have
10 act with the minority of the committee
&c do this, and certainly would not have
the sanction of a majority either of the
republican members or of the House itself.
1t is not believed that he would follow
such "A course. If he simply opposes an
ne&ation in the House. there is no appre-
Pension that with all his personal influ-
ence he can defeat the resolution.
1t is not thought that many of the re-
publican representatives could be induced
to antagoniZe the administration i'm this
natter; and, moreover, the strength Of
the opposition on the democratic side OF
the House is not quite great was
thought.
A report was made TO the republican CD
ponents to annexation, after q very imper-
feet canvass, that but five or six democrats
would vote for annexation. A more care
ful inquiry shows that there are fifteen or
twenty democrats who will vote for an
neXation.
