The CHARGES AGAINST GENERAL HOWARD.
The following, from & Washington dis
patch of the h instant, eulishtens rs as to
the charge, which have been preferred against
this gallant officer
In the House, to-day, Fernando Wood, of
New York, preferred formal charges against
General O. o. Howard, charging him with
fraud aud corruption while Commissioner of
the Freedmen's Bureau. He alleges that
Howard tonk from the regular approximations
upward of 500, 900, which he appropriated
20 his own use and for the benefit ct his fam
lily and friends; that he has used the funds
OF the Government to bpild up bis OWN pri-
vate fortune and, ia short, that Howard is
n common swind.er. The matter created
some sensation in the lIouse. Zen Butler
said if these charges proved false. the House
would have to deal with Weed to which he
replied that he acted on his own personal
responsibility. and after the House was
through investigating Howard, he moved to
have them investigate Butler. The charges
against Gen Howard were referred to the
'ommittee ON Educa'ion and Labor for m
te-tigari"n, with power to send for persons
and papers.

CORPUS CHRIsTI-The feast of Corpus
Christi. one of the most solemn of Catholic
festivals. was duly commemorated by pro
cessjon in the interior of the church in this
place on Thursday last. The ceremonies
were grand and impressive, and the good
order observed by the little girls reflected
great credit on the good Sisters in charge,
while the beautiful picture made up by the
white dresses and tastefully arranged bas-
kets from which flowers we're strewn in front
of the sacred Host borne by Father Christy
as the procession moved around the church /,
could not fail to inspire devotion and admi-
ration The altar, too, fitted up with unex-
celled taste and adorned with its sixty bou-
ouets of choice flowers inspired feeling Of
inexpressible awe and reverence. The silent
beauties of nature are great promoters of
spiritual aspirations on such occasions.
TIE REMOVAL ELEcrIoN IN WILMoRH.-
We understand that Squire Miller of Will
more. was successful last Saturday in pro-
curing the election of two bogus delegates
from that borough to attend the Jehnstown
convention on Saturday next, to nominate
a candidate for the Legislature pledged to
the removal Of the county seat. The Squire
! is and always has been ambitious of political
honor and distinction. He may yet live
to see his calling and election sure. but that
eventful incident in his crooked political
career can only take place when the county
seat has been removed. Joseph may then
he the coming man. but not before-provi-
ded always that the fools are not all dead
whsn that event transpires.
