The committee appointed by the Speak
er will to-morrow proceed to the Senate
Chamber and communicate to that body
the action of the House. The J udiciary
Committee will also to morrow draw np
the articles of impeachmant and report
to the Honse. When adopted by the
House that body will, headed by its
Speaker and high officials, proceed to
the Senate Chamber and demand the im
peachment of Mr. Belknap. Then the
Senate will (in parliamentary phrase)
take order for the impeachment; that is,
arrange the time and manner of con
ducting the trial, which will be prose
ented on the part of the House by its
Judiciary Committee.

The evidence shows that Caleb P.
Marsh made the bargain with the late
wife of Secretary Belknap and paid the
money to her. After her death thfe
money went direct to the Secretary, the
last payment being for the quarter end
ing December, 1875.
A rumor that Belknap had killed him
self grew out of a reported colloquy be
tween him and the President. The Sec
retary said he thought be would have
killed himself. The President replied
“I wish you had.”
Ilovr (he Inve*i#aiion Came About.
Marsh was not a willing witness. He
was brought here in cnsto ly. The fol
lowing is given as the origin of the Bel
knap investigation :
While in search for a home for his
family, in December, Hon. B. B. Lewis,
of Alabama, was referred to G. A.
Arms, a real estate agent in this city.
During their search for a house, Mr.
Annex, in conversation, stated to Mr.
Lewis that lie had formerly belonged to
the army, but was dismissed through
the pumity of Belknap. That if he had
the assistance of a member of Congress
he could in sixty days develop facts that
wonld force Belknap to resign. Mr.
Lewis tendered his assistance and
they subsequently had several in
terviews. Mr. Lewis, being im
pressed, sought the advice of Mr.
Kendall, who advised that the facts be
brought liefore Mr. Clymer, Chairman
of the Committee on Expenditures in the
War Department. Lewis and Arms saw
Clymer, and the latter gave a list of the
witnesses, including Marsh. Afterwards
Clymer thought Arms was acting in bad
faith, as the Secretary said Arms had
proposed, if lie was restored to the army
and certain other conditions complied
with, he would drop the matter. Lewis
said if Arras was seeking only to levy
, black mail of course they would have
nothing to do with it, but advised, as
Arms had furnished the names of wit
nesses, that they be called and examin
ed, which was done.

Report of lhi'|t'oiMtnitte.
In the House of Representatives Mr.
Clymer, of Pennsylvania, chairman of
the committee, mude the following re
port :
“In obedience to the order of the
House and in the name of all the people
of the United States of America, we im
peached, as we were directed to do, Wm.
W. Belknap, late Secretary of War of the
United States, of high crimos aud ipis
demeanors while in office, and we de
manded that the Senate shall take order
to make him appear before that body to
answer for the same,” aud announced
that the Honse would soon present arti
cles of impeachment and make them
good; to which the response was made:
“Order shall be taken.” ,

As the select committee to consider
the resolutions of the House in regard to
the impeachment of Wm. W. Belknap,
late Secretary of War, Messrs. Ed
munds of Yermout, Cockling of New
York, Frelinghuysen of New Jersey,
Thurman of Ohio, and Stevenson of
Kentucky, were appointed.
Tlie Cabinet Pri |nring to I'uninh Their I.ate
Amoriato.
At the Cabinet meeting to-day it was
determined to take steps to punish
Belknap and all concerned with him in
bribery and corruption. The Attorney-
General has been ordered to take the
preliminary steps.
The President Will Mlirink from No llcnpoii-
Nibilily, lie Hays —The l|uimlian as In
Belhuap’o Surreiwur.
The Cabinet met at noon to-day with
nil tho members present aud remained
in session until after 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. The subjects that received
consideration were the institution of
criminal proceedings against ex-Secre
tury Belknap and those who were as
sociated with him in the practices of
bribery and corruption that have just
been officially discovered, aud the selec
tion of anew Secretary of War. The
President stated to the Cabinet that
while he could take no steps which
might look to the prosecution of any
one, he had determined to shrink
from im responsibility that rested upon
him, aud he therefore asked the Attor
ney-Oeueral to take immediate steps to
proceed with criminal charges against
General Belknap and Messrs. Marsh and
Tomlinson, and all others shown by any
evidence that shall bo adduced to have
had part in the painful transactions that
were the subject, of attention. Upon
this determination of the President there
were full and thorough expressions of
opinion, favoriug such action as the
President had determined upon with
out delay. The peculiar character
of the case of General Belknap’s
offense, differing in many respects,
as it does, from an ordinary case of
bribery, was a subject of comment and
discussion, result of which was the
reference of* the eutire matter to the
Attorney-General, who will take the ne
cessary steps to enter criminal proceed
ings just so soon as the facts can be put
in shape to be sworn to. Asa part of
the discussion, it is mentioned that
there should be no delay in the proceed
ings because of the progress of an im
peachment trial. The two trials will be
entirely independent of each other.
Judge Pierrepont remaiued at the Ex
ecutive Mansion for a short time after
the other Cabiuet officers had goue
to their respective departments, for the
purpose of getting what facts the Presi
dent might be possessed of, in accor
dance with the determination to com
mence immediately the proceedings
under his charge. The discussion re
lative to the appointment of a successor
to Secretary Belkuap was of considerable
length, but ‘no decision was reached,
and there will probably be another
Cabiuet session about it. The assurance
is given that the person who will be ap
pointed to the office will be a man of
high character and known position.

Cbawfobdville, (ia., March 3.— The
Superior Court pf Taliaferro county has
just adjourned. Fortunately for our
people, but not so perhaps for the legal
fraternity, there is very little business
on the dockets. Judge E. H. Pottle pre
sided during the term with his usual
ability and impartiality. The local bar,
Messrs. George F. Bristow. W. G. Ste-
Shens, W. H. Brooks, Jas. F. Reid, and
larshal Andrews, were all present, and
the following members of the profession
from other places were iu attendance :

Mr. Paul C. Hudson.
The case of Myer Myers vs. L. Acree

Ben Reid goes to the penitentiary for
eight years for burglarizing the mill of
B. F. AJ. R. Moore. Martin Edwards,
Josiah Lawson and Jeff Overton were
convicted of hog stealing and sentenced
to six mouths each. The Solicitor-Gen
eral consented to verdicts of not guilty
in the cases of Ben Reid, charged with
hog stealing, and Levi Young, charged
with burglary, the State having failed
to make out a case. During the term
all the bar were guests of Mr. Stephens,

Who was the editor that sacked Joe

Cartersville Express: “We shonld

Mr. B. F. Collins and family have

The editorof the Southern Watchman

The Atlanta Courier has a correspond

en passant, that tho Courier corres
pondent may profit by it, if be will.
Last week six convicts escaped from

Redding, colored, and Asbury Brown or
Dan Cooper, colored. They were run
with the dogs about eight miles, but
succeeded in escaping. Twenty-five dol
lars reward is offered for each.
The Columbus Enquirer says, speak
ing of Govorror Smith: “Although a
hearty and robust man, the Governor
eats as little as a child.” And the At
lanta Courier, who lives in the town
where the Governor does his feeding,
says “this is high praiso, but none too
fulsome.” The Enquirer is determined
to leave no stone unturned to secure
the re-election of Governor Smith. But
we have seen some children that got
away with an appalling amount Of nu
triment.
University notes from the Athens
Georgian : “Sergeant A. D. Smith, of
the University, was ahead in every de
partment of the West Point competitive
examinations held in Cartersville last
week, save English Grammar. His fail
ure to answer some rule in syntax threw
him out altogether and thus, while West
Point is robbed of a fine cadet, the Uni
versity of Georgia welcomes back one of
her most promising students. Lieuten
aut James R. McLaws left last night foe
his home in Augnsta, He was a mem
ber of Prof. Charbonuier’s engineering
class, in which department he took a
high stand, and his departure will be
regretted by professors and students.
Mr. McLaws is a fine soldier, which re
minds ris that perhaps he too, has West
Point in his head.”
Southern Watchman (Athens) : “We
fear, from all that we have been able to
learn, that parents in this city and
county, and throughout this section of
the State generally, are not giving the
proper attention to the education of,
.heir children. There is a general com
plaint that the schools are thinly attend
ed. We lately heard the statement j
made that in proportion to numbers
there were more oolored children than ;
whites attending the common schools in
this county. While this is highly cred- j
itable to the colored people, it is cer
tainly a reproach to the white race, if
true. The importance of education is
so universally conceded thijt it needs no
argument to convince parents of their
duty to send their children to school.
We suppose the falling off has been oc
casioned by the complaint of ‘ hard
times.’ Nothing will justify a neglect
of education. Every child in the State
ought to have a good Euglish education.
It is the best fortune a parent can be
stow on his child, and it is a duty'which
should not, under any circnmstances, be
neglected. ”
Albany Xews: “The act relieving the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad from
taxation provides that the road be ex
empt from taxation in accordance with
the terms of its charter. The charter
exempts it from taxation till the time
allowed for its completion expires, which
is the year 1879. This is a most impor
tant achievement for the company, as it
relieves them of over $20,000 taxes, and
virtually renews their chartered priv
ileges. Getting the bill through was a
great triumph for CoL Schlatter and
Col. Ganahl, who were ably an 1 most
efficiently and effectively assisted by
Senators Knight and Harris, and the
representatives all along the line. The
Wire Grass stood by them to a man, and
Northeast Georgia locked shields with
them. The friends of the Brunswick and
Albany Road will not soon forget their
friends in Middle and Upper Georgia.
Cols. Schlatter and Ganahl planted
themselves on the justice of their cause,
aud won by straight-forward dealing,
persistent energy and intelligent pre
sentment of the facts and tbe argu
ment.”
The Washington correspondent of the
Macon Telegraph writes that Senator
Gordon has m preparation and will, at
a not very distafit day, deliver a speech
on tbe whisky tax and the differences in
the law prescribing the manner of its
collection. It will be an exhaustive
discussion of the entire sabject in all its
relations, and prove conclusively that a
great reform in the whole business is
not only imperative, but perfectly prac
' ticable, whereby immense sums now
lost to the Government may be saved,
and the costly maAinery of enforcing
the law be greatly simplified. Tbe
same correspondent also writes of a
wonderful discovery recently made in
Massachusetts—that of two women, one
of whom has spent but eleven dollars
yearly for dress for several years, and
the other, who is “a lady in high social
position,” asserts that her annual ex
penses for clothes, doctors’ and dent
ists’ bills, for the last eleven years, have
averaged less than seven dollars per
year. These are the women for the
times.
Washington corresponence Atlanta
Courier: “Bayard, the matchless aris
tocrat, moves daintily through the
chamber, rather priding himself npon
not having a speaking acquaintance with
more than half of his colleagues. He
has a sovereign contempt for Morton
and his crowd, and always passes them
with head erect and eyes over their
heads. He is as trim and handsome
as an Arabian horse, and the blue veins
run gurgling through his haughty face
and hands. He seldom jokes with the
members, never lounges about the
chamber, and answers few cards. He
always dresses faultlessly, but with
marked plainness. His clothes do not
have the portly, profuse cut so fashion
able, but catch him close around the
form and give a half military air. He
is a fine speaker, and commands thor
ough attention. If a statue is ever
made of Bayard—and the country might
be proud to have one—he should be
postured, calm, tranquil and erect, with
a game chicken in his right h ind. He
is the man of all others that I should
rely on to go to the stake with a smile,
and to death with an nnblanched brow.
He would be braver than the noisy Hu
guenots, who sang their shibboleth
until the guillotine stopped the song.
He wonld die in unperturbed silence.”

Mr. Tilman Rathbone, of Washington,

vere flesh wound, and lodging under the
skin, in the outer tender or hamstring,
behind the knee. It was removed, a
short time after the accident., by Dr.
Andrews, who was called to attend the
case. Both injuries are flesh wounds,
but may result in permanent injuries.
Every Evening (Savannah) : Hearty,
healthy men will stand around the street

to lose sight of the fact that this is a
hard old world and we all have got a

work, for it is quite certain that work
wont seek tho man. The only remedy
for hard times is that we all must
recognize the fact that “we are poor,”
“awfully poor,” and that we must do
and live as poor people do, for every
body is so poor iu these days that we
are actually deprived of the privilege of
living upon our friends. Let “econo

words, wo must cut our coat to suit the

splurge as we did in more prosperous

The Nashville American, of a recent
date, has the following: “George
Davidson Blakely, a young man of good
standing and much promise, was en
gaged to Miss Aunie Heard, a beautful
daughter of General Heard, of Wash
ington, Georgia. They had asked per
mission to wed, but their parents had
objected on the ground of the youthful
ness of the high-coutracting parties.
They were advised to wait, but wait
they could not, and would not. Young
Blakely announced his intention of at
tending the Cumberland University,
at Lebanon, and did go there and re
gularly enter for the course. Having
written to his betrothed that he would
send a friend after her, and had arranged
that she should accompany hicjto Nash
ville, where the marriage ceremony would
be performed, his friend left here last
Sunday morning, arriving at Washing
ton, Georgia, Tuesday morning. He
informed the expectant lassie of his ar
rival, and she sent word that when the
clock struck one that night she would
light a match and let down her clothing,
of which he was to take charge. He did
as directed aud secured the dry
goods. Just before train time next
j morning she departed, ostensibly
on a visit to a kinswoman, but
instead took the train for Nashville,
arriving here Wednesday, and register
ing at the Commercial Hotel. The
bridegroom came down from Lebanon
and met them, and they were yesterday
united in marriage by Rev.;Mr. Chestnut
at the residence 4f Dr. James Bowling.
Immediately after the ceremony, they

dreadfully shattered. He presents a
shocking appearance and suffers excru
ciating pain.
Near Acton, in Richland county, at
Cross’ store, Horsford and William
Cloud met and quarreled. After s6me
angry words Cloud shot Horsford
through the body twice and through the
ueck once. Horsford, in thorough Tex
an fashion, returned the fusilade and
shot Cloud through the body and
stabbed him iu the back. Both men are
dangerously if not fatally wounded and
in a fair way to another world.
Last year Mr. J. C. Harris, of Union
county made 15,000 pounds of seed cot
ton on a fraction over ten acres of land,
which netted him twelve 450 pound
bales of clean lint.' Mr. H. allows
nothing to be wasted on his farm. The
compost heap is never forgotten or
neglected, and by adopting the system
of daily gathering up all trash around
the premises and adding it to the ma
nure heap, he finds at the end of the
year a purse worth from 8150 to 8300 iu
the compost heap,.instead of having to
pay out that amount from his cotton
crop for Charleston or Baltimore fertili
zers.
We take the following notice of a
worthy negro man from the Sumter
Watchman. Such a man is an honor to
his race: “The funeral of Joe Diggs, a
colored man eighty years of age, took
place at the Baptist (colored) Church,
last Sunday. If there was ever a man
against whom an immoral charge could
not be brought, this individual was one.
He was for forty years a member of the
Baptist Church, serving a part of that
time as deacon, and the latter years as a
minister of the Gospel. We have these
points from Rev. N. Graham, who was
for many yean pastor of the church of
which the deceased was a member.”
Niles G. Parker is reported to be very
low in health, and suffering from an
acute attack of lung fever, superinduced
by the and hardships which he
was obliged to undergo during his late
trial. The report adds that Mr. Par
ker’s days are evidently nnmbered, as
the sufferings to which he was subjected
have so preyed upou his mind and body
as to have utterly broken him down in
health and spirits. His son and daugh
ter, who have lately gone Nofrth, aided
by the efforts of sympathizing friends,
are doing all in their power to mitigate
his sufferings, which might never have
come upon him had he been a man of
less sensit’ve uature and greater physi
cal strength.
FROM CHARLESTON.
Burning of a British Bark.
Charleston, March 4. —The British
bark John Geddie, at this port for
Havre, was on fire this p. m., with a
cargo of twenty-three hundred and fifty
bales of upland cotton. The damage is
mostly from water, with which the ves
sel lias been filled. Insurance on the
cargo is reported to be entirely in for
eign offioes. The vessel is owned in
Liverpool. It will be pumped out and
the cargo taken out as soon as possible.
Probable loss, 8100,000.
Death of an Estimable Lady. —Mrs.
Sarah Garland Eve, wife of Dr. Joseph
A. Eve, of this city, died at the family
residence on Greene street, yesterday,
morning, at a quarter to seven o’clock,
after an illness of about three weeks.
She was in the sixty-fifth year of her age.
Not only those who were near and
dear to Mrs. Eve, but a large circle of
friends by whom she was greatly be
loved for her amiable character and
sterling qualities of head and heart will
miss her deeply. Au exemplary and
affectionate wife, a devoted mother and
true Christian, she has found her re
ward in a better world.
Personal.— Judge Henry B. Tomp
kins, of the Eastern Circuit, was in the
city yesterday.

NOTICE.

Augusta, Northern and Ocmulgee Cir

due notice and govern themselves ac

Always in Season.— There is never a
time when somebody is not buying Fair
banks’ Scales 1 We learn that notwith
standing the general stagnation in busi
ness during the year just closed, no
year has witnessed such a demand for
Fairbanks’ Scales. The fact is that they
are an article of manufacture to which
national importance attaches. Our busi
ness men all over the country having
long since came to regard these scales
as indispensable, and the endorsement
of the United States Government in the
award of another contract for supplying
thousands of post offices throughout the
country with scales of Fairbanks’ manu
facture, gives a fresh emphasis to the
character of the firm and the quality of
their work. The Fairbank standard is
not only universally recognized here,
but also throughout the world, and no
special American manufacture holds a
higher rank than the Fairbanks’ Scales.
With improved machinery of their own
invention,, and ample facilities
ing peace with the increasing demand,
an abundance of skilled labor and
thorough management, the Messrs.
Fairbanks enter upon the year 1876 with
the prospect of a business that shall
completely eclipse that of any preceding
year in the history of the firm. —Chicago
Tribune, January 15 th, 1876.
