GENERAL Howard. This philanthro.

NEHi.hAb hOWAND. - us puliaut hTO-
pist, who was appointed guardian of the
wards Ct the nation, is il suandary,
according to the Washington telegram
in our paper Of yesterday. Getting u
little restless from the warming up of IN
qniry into his administration, he sought
information at the Inspector Generals
office. The chief officer present plainly
advised lin. since the reports Of charges
against him had become matter of public
notoriety, TO ask for court martial.
This friendly advice he seemed not to
like. declaring that the feeling towards
him amongst many army omcers was
such that he did not think lie could get
justice before such tribunal. This is
sad confession for general officer to
make. 1t does him little credit. Our
opinion is that, like the Irishmnn, the
last thing General Howard should dc.
sire is Justice. lie had better seek
that tribunal which will not give it to
him. We suspect The real fear of How.
ard is that court martial will very pro-
badly give him Justice"

There is u prospect of moro tele.
graphic cables being laid between Eu-
rope and the United States. The new
cables projected are OF lighter construc.
ton than those now laid down. Being
OF less original cost. it is believed that
business can be conducted through them
ut less rate OF toll. and in this the Gus
toners of the cable will take great inte.
rest. Arrangements are said to have
been completed in London for d cable OF
the kind described, which is to cost but
5000, 900. aud the English newspapers
are anticipating a cheapening in the
charges for trans Atlantic telegraphing in
consequence. One even goes SO fur as
to say, that through this medium, tele-
grams may in future cost less in pence
then than they do now in shillings." :"
This is very doubtful; but there is broad
margin for decrease to some figure within
popular reach. AS at present managed,
the advantages of ocean telegraphing are
confined to u very few people.

possibly the limit that heaven sets to our
dishonest housekeeping. We would like to
have it supposed that we were born to the pur-
pie and should not be in the least discomposed
on being hidden to dine at ChatswOrth, having
the elegance, though not the vastness, of
Chatsworth, under our own roof. And in comes
laundering candid Bridget, with a wrecked
ambition in the shape of an Onlcllet sOubfe, and
unwittingly reveals to the visitor that We never
had one before. 1t is our deep hope, as it is
our conviction, that these rough shOd minis
