majority of 1872 electoral votes. What.

The Forged Clamatl0R-AFFeSt OF
the CuIDFlt,

Ii turns out that j. Howard. ir., city
editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, is the
person who forged the proclamation.
and procured its insertion in as many
of the city newspapers as he succeeded
IN dipping ii has acknowledged the
fact and was sent down last evening to
Fort Lafayette. He says he had no
other motive except to make a little
money on the Stock Exchange. and
that il never occurred TO him that his
performance could produce any more
Important or serious effect.
It seems that something like week
ago Howard consulted Mr.. Kent. mem
Der Of the firm of Kent IL Clapp
brokers, as TO the probable effect upon
the market of a proclamation calling
for 100000 more men. Mr. Kent gave
him his opinion, and subsequently How
ard showed him the draft ola proclama-
ton which he claimed to know, through
secret channels of intelligence at Wash
ington, was about to be issued. After the
publication in the World and Journal
of Commerce on Wednesday morn
ing, Mr.. Kent at once identified
the published proclamation with the
draft which Howard had shown him.
and gave information of the circum
stances 10 General Dix. Howard was
arrested and brought to the Generals
headquarters yesterday afternoon.
where he at once made full acknowl-
edgment of his agency in the matter,
and exculpated all the newspapers.
which he succeeded in victimizing, from
any connection with il, directly or in
directly. He employed another person
whose name, we believe, is Morrissey,
10 make the copies which were sent TO
the press. Il is reported that several
other persons were cognizant Of the
proceeding, and also made il the basis
OF speculative operations IN gold But
Howard, We understand, denies that
any person was at all implicated with
him IN the transaction.
Howard had been connected in yari-
Gus capacities with several Of the city
newspapers, the Times and Tribune
among them, and had thus acquired
knowledge Of their routine of business,
which was OF service 70 him IN this i'm
position upon them. --NsD York Times u
