GEN. O. 0. HOWARD.

The case of this officer, whose man
agement of the Freedmen's Bureau was
overhauled by court martial some time
ago, and was supposed to have been
finally settled, is revived III a dispatch
from Washington, which says that from
1867 to 1870 Gen. O. O. Howard invest
ed $500, 900 in government bonds, and
used the interest received from such
bonds in the payment of bona fide
claims, in order TO make up the deficit
in public funds caused by the payment
offraudulent claims. Attorney General
Williams, to whom was submitted GER
tain questions in regard to the respon-
sibility of Geps. Howard and Bullock
for such use ii public moneys, states
that a criminal prosecution against them
is barred by limitations imposed by the
statutes, but they still remain civilly
liable, and suits may be begun against
them to recover. Whatever money may
be recovered should be turned into the
! treasury IN the same manner as is money
recovered from delinquent officers III

IMPORTANT z. E. CHANGE.

One Of the most important announce
ments recently made is that the Union
Pacific Railroad company will SO arrange
as to gain day between Omaha and
Ogden, and when that result is reached
it will doubtless stimulate the Central
Pacific and Pacific Mall company to in
crease the speed of their respective
lines, so that the time between Hong
Kong and New York will consume but
twenty-eight travelling days, and the
distance from Hong Kong to Liverpool
can he accomplished in thirty-s3ven
days. The effect of such changes can be
readily understood and appreciated.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

The Western Railroad Commissioners
held another conference with the Chi
cago roads leading to the west, at the
Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, on the
I'd inst. The following roads were rep
resented: Chicago and Alton, Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific, Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy, and Illinois Cen
trail The main object of the meeting
was to induce the western roads to abol-
ish the return stock-pass system, but
the roads remained firm in their refusal,
on the ground that they had abolished
it about year ago, and could not make
it work. They would therefore not try
it again. Arrangements were made to
put in force on the 18th inst, the new
tariff adopted at the late meeting held
in Chicago. The new rates will be
based on the basis from Chicago to New
York, which will be as follows: First
class, 81. 40; second class, $1.10; third
class, 50 cents; fourth class, Is cents;
to apply to all the leading competitive
points, such as Detroit, Louisville, Gin
cinnati, st. Louis, Toledo, Cleveland,

HARR0R EXPENSES

The estimates for the Improvement OF
rivers and harbors for the fiscal year
commencing July l, 1875, have been
submitted to the secretary of war by
the chief engineer of the army for trans
mission to Congress. In the general
average they do not differ materially
from those usually presented by the
subordinate engineers. Appropriations
for continuing the improvement of the
harbors of Chicago, Calumet, Milwau-
kee, Racine, Cleveland, Grand Rapids
and smaller harbors on the great lakes
are recommended, as well as expendi-
lures for the Upper Mississippi, the Des

Rivers

Pinchback, in his recent argument before
the House of Representatives in support of
his claim for a seat in that body, told his hear
ers an unpleasant truth when he said : You
have let in Sypher, which is worse case than
mine" Documents printed by order Of Con-
gress itself contain evidence proving concln-
sively not only that the carpet-bagger who oc-
cupies the seat belonging to Colonel Lawrence,
Of the First District of Louisiana, was not
elected to represent that district, but also that
the most barefaced and disgraceful' frauds
were resorted to in order to give him a pre-
tense for claiming admission to the House.

on the part Of the Democracy Of the Third
Ward preparatory to taking action in the coming
