TO IMPEACH SWAYNE. Proceedings -First of Their Kind Since Impeachment of Belknap, of Grant's Cabinet. \Vashington, December 14.-Sitting as a grand jury, the house of repre sentatives vesterday. with almost full membership and after more than five hours' discussion to the exclusion of all other business. adopted a resolu tion providing for the impeachment of Judge Charles Swayne of the nor:h-:rn district of Florida, for "high crimes and misdemeanors." The case against the respondent was clearly set out by Mr. Palmer. of Pennsylvania, chairman of the sub committee of the judiciary commit tee. which heard the evidence in the case. He carefully dissected the evi dence bearing on each of the speci fications. and said that if it wer. found that Judge Swayne had done well he should be vindicated, but if ~he had done ill he should be sent to trial "where his excuses or apologies may or may not receive considera tion." He was followed by Messrs. Clayton, of Alabama, Powers, of Massachusetts, Henry of Texas, and Lamar, of Florida, each of whom in most vigorous terms advocated im peachment. Messrs. Gillett, of Cal ifornia, and -Littlefield, of Maine, in speeches opposed their colleagues on all the specifications except the one as to the amount rendered to the gov ernment by Judge Swayne for travel ing expenses. Throughout the session interise in terest was shown by members. Fol lowing the adoption of the impeach ment resolution a provision was made for the appointment of five members to notify the senate of the impeachment and for a committee of seven to present the case to the senate. The proceedings were the first of their kind since the impeachment in 1876 of Gen. W. W. Belknap, who was secretary of war in President Grant's cab.aet. Advertised Letters.

Crusade Against the Letter Carriers' i And Rural Free Delivery Lobby. a \Vashington, December 17.-At the capitol Postmaster General Wynne's crusade aga-:st the letter carriers'ia and the rural free delivery lobby. is generally approved by senators and so representatives. "It is a notorious ini fact." asid a veteran congressman, discussing the subject yesterday, So "that every branch of the government So service sustains a well paid lobby in Cc Washington. to look after legislation of special interest to their respective callings. If the other members of the cabinet will follow the example of oN the postmaster general the entire ser- it vice will be benefited." th Snators and representatives resent the cons:ant interferences of the "walking delegates." representing the army, the navy, the revenue marine, the printers and binders, the work- an ne men in the navy yards, and even the n clerks in the executive departments. di Many unsuccessful attempts have ne been made to suppress the army and th navy lobby, which is said :o be all do powerful in legislation, directly bear- all ing upon the personal of those two un fe very important branches of the ser vice. .g These lobbies are sustained by reg- by ular assessments made upon the em ployees throughout the service, from the highest to the lowest. The be strange part of the story is that,when m the persons assessed are asked why they submit to such unjust taxation, they boldly assert that they believe it is to their interest to spend their i money in that way, and it is nobody's du business. Time and time again leg- otl islation has been. enacted to improve re the conditions of certain government as employees upon the recommendation Bt of heads of various departments. dh eff Members of the lobby interested, may Di not have had an inkling of what was to be done, yet the walking delegates claimed all the credit for the favor able legislation, and the poor dupes, a who are assessed, refused to listen to any criticism of the lobby. The reform has started pretty far down, beginning with the poorest paid members of the postal service, Wi but there is a possibility that the se good work will go on until the high of rollers in the other branches of gov- sy emnent are called down by executive M order. 30s MILITARY REPORT.
