TIE CASE OF HoDGE.-The Secretary of
War has notified the Treasury officials that il
was the intention of the Treasury Department
to proceed against the New York brokers en-
gagged with Paymaster Hodge in his late tran
sactions in Wall street; that the Paymaster
General has a mass of evidence concerning the
relations between the bankers and pavmaster
which is at their disposal. The Judge Adyo.
cate General has been instructed TO prepare
charges and specifications against Hodge i'm
medately. The court martial for his trial will
then be designated blythe Secretary The Sec,
rotary, though requested to do So has refused
to release Hodge from close conf nement. A
Washington dispatch says there are four and
half years of Hodges unsettled accounts in
the Second Auditors Office of the Treasury
DEPARTMENT awaiting examination. On the
1st of July, 1871, Hodge claimed to have bal
ance with the United States Treasurer of
nearly 500, 900, when in reality he had, as APP
pears by the books, only $3.50, 600. The alleged
fraudulent voucher, that led to Hodges detec-
tion was filed in the Second Auditors Office
for examination in 1865, and its fraudulent ma
ture was not discovered during all this time
The custom of keeping paymaster's accounts
so much in arrears gives every opportunity for
| defacation The officers OF the Second Aud
itors Bureau assert that it was not the fault of
| thai officer that the discovery of the frauds
was not made at an earlier period, but the
| fault of Psymaster General Brice, whose duty
I it is to certify paymaster's return, and to ap.
| prove his requiSition for money. 1t is shown
| that General Brice approved Hodges requisi-
tions for hundreds OF thousands of dollars,
when Hodges accounts showed that he had
over half million on deposit. 1t is claimed
! that If Paymaster General Brice had given bis
| attention to the matter, instead OF trusting
blindly to Hodges honesty, he would have
thwarted Hodges designs before he used many
thousands of the government money. From
present indications it is not unlikely that the
| embezzlement will reach million dollars.

FOLLOWING the exposure of the rascality
of Tweed, Connolly and the noble stand of
Judge Barnard in defence of the people,
minor lascalites in the departments of New

and jobbery; and now charges are made
against Mr.. James M. McGregor, Superin-

Influence of Temperature on Health.
In the fall the difference between the temperature
night and day is greater than at any other time Of
sometimes Uses high during the day as in the
most tervid summer weather; while night it often
sinks to an almost wntry point, Tie human body
not being made OF steel or India rubber, sensbly
feels these tremendous changes. To ortiiy the sys-
tenn against them, genuine tonic s required; and
the public has loug since discovered that among this
description OF medicines Hostetters Stomach Btters
is infinitely the best. 1t gently quickens the crcula-
ton regulates the bowels, tones the liver braces the
nervts, and thus puts the whole physique on its de-
fence against the vicssitudes of temperature in our
climate. Few, if any cases OF epidemic fever are
heard of in localities where it is in common use. As
1t becomes more and more widely known, and the
demand Tor it increases chills and fever, and the
bilious remittant to reeede before it, and if
ever it should come into universal use these diseases
lying and marshy discricts That homely bit of pro-
verbal philosophy that prevention is better than
cure" should be especially borne In mind in the au-
tumn months; and indeed in all seasons, together
with the fact, that among all the preventlves OF ma
larious disease Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the
most ATE and potent.
Be certain however, to obtain the genuine article
as countless mtatinus of pernicous character are
abroad See that the externas are all right, and re-
member that Hostetters Stomach Bitters is sold in
bottles alone.

The SUGAR RIVER RAILRoAD.-A cores.
pondent Of the Boston Journal, in speaking
of the completion of the great rock cut on
this road in Bradford and its early opening to
Newport, says of the prospects of the road:
That the road will do large business and
prove profitable investment there can be no
doubt. The early building of the Concord &
Rochester line will insure the connection of
Claremont with the Rutland road, and thus
make the Sugar River Railway what its pro-
jectors have always had in view, an important
link in the grand route from Portland to Chi
cago and the Pacific coast.

continues vigorously and as it is conducted On
somewhat original principles it excites much
interest throughout the country. The Wash
ington Star gives the latest developments.
The work planned in the conference held
on Friday last between Major Richards, of
the police, and District Attorney Fisher, re-
port of which conference appeared in the
Star OF that day, began in earnest on Satur
day night last, when Lieutenant Charles III.
Skippon, of the first precinct, in person, mott
fed the keepers of brothels in the locality
known as "The Division" that they must
move by Wednesday or Thursday of this week
at the latest, otherwise the proprietors, or re-
puted proprietors, will be indicted for keeping
houses OF prostitution and tried in the crimi-
nal court. That officer and ais associate Off
GERS of the precinct are determined in their
efforts to make this class of our community
migrate from the section now occupied by
them. 1t is proposed to break up every

house, # they are unable to give bonds that
they will in future lead better lives. A
number OF the proprietors swore that they
would not consider the order as final, and they
would not move off, under any circum-
stances, while others informed the officers
when notified that they would be willing and
anxious 10 move, provided that the officers
would procure other houses for them; and
some more forward than the rest modestly
inquired if the officers would pay all the ex-
peuSes incurred in moving. Madam Wolf
who keeps house on Thirteenth street, near
G. and who has in the past five years paid
$4,000 in fines, says she will sell out and
change her business if she can get a chance
so to do. In all, about twenty women pro-
prletors were notified. The work of notify
ing the keepers of such houses in the :Divis-
ion" is to be finished this morning by Lieut.
enant Skippon's men. The notice is merely
verbal one. Some of the proprietors ex-
pressed themselves to-day as determined to
disregard it; others say that they are not sor-
ry, as they can do better by removing to more
respectable localities,

An interview between Judge Barnard and
q Tribune reporter, who met him soon after
his decision was pronounced, clearly shows
what the people have gained in the fight with
the ring. Judge Barnard said:
Everything for a time must come to stand
still. There must be remedy applied to the
state of things. The men now in control of
our municipal aiialls must rearrange things,
ana insure us an economical government. 1t
IS nipossiole Tor us to allow highway robbery

Oh my declslon affecting as it so seriously does
tne government of our city, is with the men

IL uoes not rest on the administrators of the
| law, Iney nave no alternative but to do what
| they believe TO be their sworn duty. 1t is
| possible there may be disturbance or trouble
In consequence OF my decision. Still the au-
| thorltles are of course competent 10 preserve
the peace of the city. The theory that Mr.
| Connolly is only partly responsible is absurd:
| The whole responsibility for the sgnlLS OF
the warrants falls upcn him. The mayor GER
tainly cuuntersigned them, but L do not be-
lieve the mayor by any exercise OF human en-
durance or mental vigilance can sustain any
thins like thorough supervision of the con-
troller's accounts, any more than President
Grant can exercise a thorough supervision
over accounts of the national treasury. The
executive must give certain allowance OF
rope to his subordlnates. This perpetual in
junction can be dissolved, but not until the
general term of the supreme court meets in
| December. But practically the people have
already got every remedy which the law can
grant, There is no possible escape for the
city authorities from the legal effects of this
injunction; the people through the law courts
have completely stopped any possibility OF
further stealing When the present crisis is
