Release of " Howard, of the Times,"-

The inexorable run Of events led Mr..
Joseph Howard, jr., the famous auther Of
the bogus proclamation, to be forgotten,
but she announcement of his release con-
tanned in one OF two Of the morning jour

and incarceration of the accused, his trans.
portaton to Fort Lafayette, and his efforts
to entertain the j~il-birds there ars,sIb
matters of public notoriety.
Soon after, Howard was discovered,
when .he fact of his being republican
was made known, it was openly said Ivy
many that he never would be tried for the
offence, and that he would be released in
few months and these remarks enti,le

Pcsr OFFICE ESPIONAGE &c reat AS
.onishnent Is expressed here at Postmas-
ter General Blairs denial of the charge OF
postoffice espionage, or that letters are
tampered with in the postoffice through
his consent. 1t is stated quite positively
that there is in the Postoffice Department
building here room specially devoted TO
the unsealing Of letters, and the examina-
tion of their contents after seals had been
broken. It is fitted up with all the ap
pur,enances necessary for sieamng the
envelopes, fo- restoring them as near as
may be to their original appearance, for
removing seals when wax is employed etc.
Among other plans adopted is one whose
operation is very difficult to detect. 1t is
very simple, consisting simply in inserting
a peDcil, penbolder, or other round,
smooth substance Of small size, under The
flap of the envelope, and, by rolling this
lever gently toa ard the centre of the COW
er Of the letter, the gummed portion is
raised or pryed away from the paper to
which it adheres. IF this is done ,klllful
y, and the letter reseaed, it is next 10
impossible TO detect the trick The mos,
secure method Of sealing letters is to use
wax Of line quality. and even thi, is no,
perfectly safe. = Washington dispatch

ApLEAsANr CALL-We had Yesterday,
the pleasure of call from our brother
editor, Capt. Smith, Of the Manitowoc
(Wis.) Tribune, who is serving upon the
brigade staff Of Col Buttrick, among the
one hundred day men.
We learn, incidentally, that the press
ence of this officer in the camp of the 7th
Wisconsin Battery, undoubtedly saved the
pieces belonging to that organization.
Immediately after the charge, he succeed
ed in raising force of st.agglers and sent
them to man the guns, which were undis-
turbed by the rebels. The guns were
moved toward the front, and in short
time were being used to good effect in
sheling the fernando road. ....

A Murderous Assault.

The State Journal of the 9th gives an
account of an assault on the person Of Mr..
Spencer, Assistant Secretary Of State, BY
party of men dressed in military uni.
form, on the evening before on the Sun
Prairie road near Catfish bridge. Itwould
seem, from the conduct of the rufians,
that murder was their intention. Mr.. S.
after knocking down one Of the assau,ters
with the butt Of his whip, drove hurried
ly away, reaching a neighboring house in
a short time, where be obtained assistance
and drove his pursuers back.
The men were followed into the city OF
Madison, where they we're arrested and
taken before Justice Flower for examina-
ton.
This outrage has caused much excite
ment in Madison and vicinity. Fiends
guilty of such conduct cannot be too ss-
verely punished.

public will be glad to learn of the rein
statement Of The Steamer Sea Bird upon
Coodrich's Lake Shore Line. She has

P. S.-We have cut Of Jackass
which would probably have been more ap
propriate than the above, but we refrain
from using it in this conuection-out OF
respect for the jackass, Of course. a
The above we take from the Fond du
Lac Press, and regret very much that we
have not the illustration accompanying
the article. 1t is a representation OF
dark colored individual, in the attitude of
speaking, with uplif.ed finger, hair on
end, and mouth wide open-probably as
ha looked when he gave utterance to the
remark heading the article. .-
The same Individual delivered rant.
ing, political harangue to moderate sized
audience at the Methodist church ia this
place last Sabbath evening, who were SO.
duced into attendance by the announce
ment tia. lecture would be delivered on
the state of the country. How they we're
disappointed can be ascertained by asking
anv who were present, for we have YET 70
see the Individual or woman-who
does not think i. was the talk of a fanatic
devoid Of all reason and common sense
His arguments in favorstof the reelection
Of Mr. LINCOLN were certainly original, if
they bad no other virtue, and from his BIT
ing sarcasm-weli, just deliver as! If
beisterousness were merit, then the spea-
ker delivered the best speech we ever lis
tened to. For the present we will content
ourself by saying in reply to bis allusion
o JERE's dog that men opposed to the
editor of this paper in politics all say that
the reference was unnecessary, unjust, and
uncalled for.
