H0AKEs on THE NEWSPAPERS AND rHx Pso-
rrE.-We yesterday had tho pleasure to an
nounce to the people the arrest Of tho authors
Of the infamous outrage on the public in the
form Of . bogus call for men. No circumstance
Of recent occurrence has more generally graft
fed tho people than these arrests. Everywhere
the most decided satisfaction was expressed,
except in the columns Of the Tribune. The
Tribune could net believe that ''Howard Of the
Times was the criminal. This is the first time
that the Tribune ever hesitated to believe any
thing bad. The cause Of its incredulity on this
occasion was the fact that Howard is promi-
nent republican Of the Plymouth church va
riety. teHtsxs
But now that Howard is snugly in custody,
and is tolerably sure OF punishment-if his po-
lltical afdnities do not prove to be too strong
it is worth whiefor the government to consider
the propriety Of going step further in this
matter Of hoaxes Two other notorious hoaxes
have lately been put upon the country-one
pretending to be report Of the rebel Secretary
of the Navy, AMI the other q correspondence
between Lord Lyons and jeff. Davis. One
of these placed our government in . false
and ridiculous position before Europe, and the
other slandered and villifed an ambassador.
But the latter, we believe, originated some
whore ia the rebel States.
1t is to be hoped that, apropos Of the present
excitement, the whole subject OF hoaxes through
the newspapers will be well ventilated. Some
stringent measures are necessary to put stop
to the grievous annoyances OF domestic quiet
that are caused by bogus advertisements, mar
risgc notices, g., and the present is good
time TO regulate that subject. 1t is possible.
moreover, that . severe punishment inflicted
on tho perpetrators Of this last fraud may have
its effect on these smaller counter.eiters.
