The independent press on this coast generally support Congress.The leading Democratic papers of this city call on the President to declare martial law in the District of Columbia, and civil business, including Congress, until the people can speak. A telegram from Victoria says that it is reported that a Fenian head-centre had arrived there, and that they were in receipt of dispatches from reliable parties in San Francisco announcing the intention of the Fenians to make a raid on British Colombia. It created considerable excitement, and it is said that the information is of such a nature that Admiral Hastings deemed it prudent to take precautionary steps immediately. The banking houses also are taking active steps towards securing themselves hum the impending danger. The Supreme Court of British Colombia has decided that the property of Isaac Humphreys, an American citizeD, who died intestate in Victoria, must revert to the Crown should there be no heirs to the s-atne.

The Chief Justice said that the otlioe of consul, which the deceased held, was created lor commercial purposes only, no ministerial duties or privileges being attached. Consul Francis appeared in behalf of the Uuited States. The property in 'luestion amounts to considerable. Views of Chief Justice Chase and Prominent one rumor has it that Chief Justice Chase has said that he sees nothiug in the President's conduct thus far that can be tortured into uud for impeachment. Another, that Mr.

IVssenden openly declares that he is opposed to impeachment, and that the President has done nothing more than law and precedent alike authorize him to do. Still another, that Trumbull has declared the whole business to be a scheme to debtor the Republican party, and that if allowed to go further it will effectually accomplish that object. Finally, that Rcverdv JobDson says he has canvassed the Senate, aud that not even a majority, ttmch less two-thirds, can be procured for conviction on this impeachment. These mmors are seut you simply as rumors; cut it may be remarked that such reports fie not always wholly fabricated. They usually spring from some chance expression bearing ou an approximation to the conveyed by the full-fledged reported A Good the House of on Wednesday, Mr.

Here are same sharp paragraphs from the Petersburg Index: Wo observe that our Conservative exchanges are filling their columns with the stale talk about the reaction which is going to take place at the next Presidential election. Hopeful gentlemen, Who never are but always to be The secret of successful revolutions is audacity. The Radicals have this to perfection.

In a few days the revolution of the Government will be a fact accomplished. In the mean time their opponents can read them lectures on moderation and threaten tbem with tbe future punishment of reaction. Of conrse the Radicals shudder at the bare mention of that dreadful word reaction and go on. The dog fight at Washington proves, as we anticipated, to be but a tame affair. The friends of the respective animals cried bully for this aDd bully for the animals themselves don't hitch.

In fact the only one who might show fight is effectually muzzled. We may anticipate no more fun in that quarter. Indian Snow Storm The Kansas Zomw, February letter from Fort Berthold, dated December 23, says the mail from St. Paul to Helena, Montana via Forts Stevenson, Buford, aDd Benton' was partially destroyed by a band of Sioux Indians near White Earth river on December 19, and the mail carriers warned that if again caught they would be killed. The Sioux are encamped on Yellowstone river endeavoring to induce the friendly tribes on the Little Missouri and Big Koife rivers to join them in a war on the whites, and have offered them three hundred horses to do so, and say if they persist in refusing they wilOorcc them into hostilities.

Another letter from Fort Berthold, dated January 16, says that two weeks previous the most severe snow storm had prevailed that had been known in that region in ten years. At Fort Stevenson the troops had been obliged to burn the warehouse and all their lumber to prevent them from freezing.

We understand that Hon. L.

J. Gartrell, of this city, will support the new Constitution of Georgia, and that he will probably enter the field and make a square, stand-up fight for ratification under the reconstruction programme. If we are correctly informed, he will not ally himself with the fortunes of any particular party or political organization, but will advocate reconstruction on the basis of the Congressional plan, and urge his many friends in Georgia to ratify the Constitution now being framed by the Convention. General Gartrell is an able and efficient speaker, is extensively and favorably known in this State, and his influence in behalf of reconstruction cannot fail to tell in the approaching Opinion, February 21.

Clerk of Second TELEGRAPHIC HEWS. I Son ftbonttbe War Department Ixot Ac. Special telegram to the Dispatch. 5 Febrtiary stated dispatches, the President yesterday directed that application be mode for a quo warranto to require Stanton to answer, Doubtless the papers have been filed with the District Court, but the President has Lot received notice of such filing A ramor has been circulating here to the effect that Stanton has determined to resign in a day or two. There are some circnmstaaces which give credence to this rnmor, bnt so far there does not appear to be any direct information to warrant the statement that Mr.

Stanton will resign. The reason assigned for this withdrawal is that, he being out of the War Department, any legal proceedings instituted by the President to test the constitutionality of the tennre-of-office act would fail by reason of the removal of the cause of litigation. It is argued by those who are advising Stanton's resignation that the adoption of their plan would deprive the President of all means of taking the controversy before the courts, and thus force him to rely solely upon the opinions and decision of members of the Senate. The late register of deeds for this district, Mr. Eddy, died yesterday.

RICHMOND, have very recently per- fected the organization necessary to conduct on the largestscsle a business that will hence, forth receive my undivided attention, oombln. ing the sale of lands, mills, mines, furnaces, and water-powers, and the supply of whits labor, male and female, and tenants, as far as they can possibly be obtained, from the and cities of the North. 'S My partner, Colonel R. J. Pago, in charge of our office in New York.

In Philadelphia and Baltimore I have asso- ciates of the highest respectability and respon. slbliity. And for the sale of lands and mines in North Carolina I am associated with D. W. Cottuts, of Reidsville, for many years State surer of North Carolina.

The facilities this agency offers for the sals of lands are not surpassed in the Sooth. In I regard to mines of all kinds, I have mads contracts with parties in tbe cities north of this who make that branch of the business specialty both in this country and Europe, securing to me the widest possible field of operations; and in this city I nave the aid and services of that accomplished mlneraloglist and assayer Colonel William Gilham for the prompt analysis of all minerals that may be sent to 1 me, thus determining the value of mines before they are offered for sale. THE WHITE LABOR branch of the business will be under the agementof thoroughly competent gentlemen. Till lnrther notice isjglven, our efforts will be directed to supplying this city with factory hands, porters, and domestics, male and female. These will be mainly German and Irish.

The most ample and satisfactory arrangements have been made for their cheap transportation from New York and Philadelphia to this city. By the 1st of January I hope to be able to supply farm hands and small tenants. Parties in want of whjto labor of either sex are requested to communicate their wants in writing, so that I may forward them to the supply officeu in New York and Philadelphia. Tebms For seeling lands, five per cent, commission on all sales actually made, but no charge whatever unless a sale is effected. For mines, an additional contingent fee, the subject of contract in each case, and payable out of proceeds of sale.

For laborers, a fee of $6 for each one supplied by contract, payable when the laborer ts delivered and when the laborer is unable to pay his or her passage to this city, I advance it! $4 from Philadelphia and $6 from New be repaid to me by the employer when he receives the laborer, as so much advanced on the contract for wages.
