He'd go blind in week, would the saint,

Boston Herald.
Howgato found himself ere long one of
the most influential men in Washington.
He had ways of reaching almost every Sena-
tor and member in Congress. The General
of the army himself did not possess so much
political influence. Thus cntrenchcd It is
not wonderful that he began to steal. IL is
of little Importance how the money was
taken. Part of it as partner in furnish
ing the supplies for the service part Of IL
by doubling the telegraph bills and pocket
ing half the amount paid out part of It by
charging money for salaries, supplies, etc,
which he quietly pocketed. One of his
peccadil0es was to maintain number of
lady friends in luxurious idleness out of the
funds of the Office A Miss Burrill, daugh-
ter of former postmaster of Chelsea, was
maintained for a long time in this manner
/ will not go over his history. Government
money furnished him with steam yacht on
the Potomac and "shooting-box in vir-
gnia. This latter was a structure built on
the pretence that 1t was needed as o station
for some of the observers down on the North
Carolina shore. 1t was then conveyed to
the interior of Virginia, and furnished
comfortable quarters for Howgatc and his
friends when they wanted some shooting
in the Virginia woods. There was only
one flaw in the fellows calculations. He
did not expect that Mycr would die But
Myer suddenly faded out year ago,
and Howgate was uncovered. He had long
thought that he would make himself so
strong that when Myer did go out he would
be able to make himself the successor. But
the Office went into the temporary charge
of one of the ccarest-headcd business men,
and one of the best soldiers of the United
States, Adjt.-Gen. w. L. Drum. The first
thing he did was to relieve Howgate as
disbursing officer.
Soon afterward Howgatc pressed the pay
ment Of certain telegraph bills, which were
submitted in gross. The originals of the
tclcgraphic dispatches were called for, and
Capt. Howgatc rendered his resignation as
an officer in the army. Sufficient was now
known to warrant q thorough investigation
of his methods of doing business indeed, to
require it, with n view to his trial and at
least to his dismissal from the service But
soon the Captains tremendous political in
fluence was brought to bear, and Secretary
Ramsey yielded to his demands and ac-
ceptcd his resignation. Senators from Mich
igan and other States were glad to urge the
acceptance of Capt. Howgates resignation
upon the Secretary, and it is not strange that
the Secretary allowed it to be done. When
the whole story is told it will probably
appear that the so-called Arctic ex-
petition, Of which he was the sponsor, was
rs much of q humbug as anything he un-
dcrtook to do. At any rate, it is worthy Of
investigation. The public was given to
understand that the expenses of fitting out
the vessel, ETC., were borne by Capt How
gate himself. 1t will be found that large
sums of money were privately collected
from others by Howgate, Ostensibly for this
object. How much the Government was
made to contribute is not yet known. Last

To The Editor Of The Evening Critic:


VIM. Cading, white, was before Judge
Bundy to-day charged with the larceny of
diminutive black-and-tan dog belonging
to Albert Harris, who lives near Mstreet
bridge A number of witnesses were ex-
amined and Harris placed the value of the
little animal at $34. 1t was claimed that
Cading had the dog at his house after it
was lost, and when called upon to produce
it, denied having it. Harris then got out
a search warrant and found the dog at
Cading's house. Cading testified that his
son found the dog ON the street and brought
it home. The Court dismissed the case.
