HOWGATE,S CASE,
He Denies the Charges Against Him

Ihc UenheS VIC NuuryeS ASHfuSt HIN.
Capt. ii. w. Howgato, arrested for en-
bezzlement, has returned, and was inter
viewed at his Thirteenth street residence
last night by reporter of the National
Republican. He denied the charges fled
against him, adding that he felt that
he would be able, when the proper
time came to refute all allegations that
had been made. An officer of the Signal
Service, when approached on the subject,
said last night al know nothing about this
business except what l have read in the
papers. The whole thing was n surprise to
me. 1t has been kept very quiet and was
complete surprise to every one in the
bureau. From my experience MS a disburs-
ing officer the only way to cheat the Gov
eminent is either by collision between a
contractor and the discussing officer, or by
means of forged vouchers. Our system of
accounts with the Western Union Telegraph
Company is so perfect there could not be
the slightest chance of collision, so the fraud
must have been committed by false vouch-
|lers; but how it was done cannot say. All
accounts are audited by one officer and dis
bursed by another, thus forming a perfect
check"

Thc METEOROLOGICAL sc,Iuction Cnse

The taking of testimony in the case of
Lucy Rhett Walton Horton against John
II. Morgan, son Of Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, is now in progress before Capt Cole.
SO far Miss Horton has alone been put upon
the stand. She stated that she was engaged
to be married to Morgan in Selma, Ala, with
the sanction of his father who was friend
of her father, and that under this sacred
promise of marriage her ruin was accom-
plished. She further testified that Morgan
afterward grew cold toward her and broke
the engagement; that she had hin, twice in
dicted in Alabama, but that he has always
managed to have the cases continued, and
that they are still pending. She denies
finally that she had ever had any undue in
timacy with one Wharton or Waldron. Sew
eral damaging letters from Morgan to the
plaintiff were put in evidence, in which he
reiterates his intense love for her and his
desire for their early union.

Unpleasant and Tnh cnIthy Odors.

Tho sewerage system Of this city Is In a
bad condition, as any one may learn by
taking stroll through almost any street
about sunrise. Another matter that should
claim the attention Of the authorities is the
filthy condition in which some of our res
taurant keepers, calling themselves first
class, allow the vaults in which they keep
their CLANS, crabs, oysters, &C., to be stored.
During the day, when the sun exercises its
power, and the population is astir, the of
they are doing their death-dealing work
|neyertheless. and at night the nostrils of
all who pass along the streets are assailed
at every turn. Chloride of limo is not very
Expensive, but even if it were the Health

compel all to use it freely about their prem

Republican Opposition TO the ApportiOn'
ment Bill.

The New York Times, which has
some claim to speak for the better sem
timent Of the Republican party, says
Of the opposition in the House to the
Apportionmcnt bill: Whatever may
result from the action Of the party con-
ference committee of members of the
House in regard to the Apportionment
bill, there is little doubt that the Re-
publicans made political mistake in
adopting a course Of tilibustering to de-
feat the pending measure. There was
no reasonable ground for evoking n
party contest on this subject. Had the
Democrats attempted to secure any IL
legitimate party advantage in the adop-
ton of total number for the House of
Representatives under the new appor-
tionment, their opponents might have
been justified in resisting the attempt,
but the only object which the latter could
have had was either to secure party
advantage for themselves or to defeat
apportionment altogether at this pres
ent session. The bill so far as the to-
tai number is concerned, is fair one,
and should have excited no strenuous
opposition. Admitting this, we can
find no reason for defeating its passage
at this session. The figures of the CEN
sus on which it is based are complete
and there is no occasion for delay
Legislatures are in session in eighteen
States which will not hold regular ses.
sions again before the congressional
elections Of 1882. If the bill is passed
now they can provide for their reds
tricting. Otherwise they will have to
hold extra sessions at considerable ex-
pense for the purpose. If the purpose
of postpOning action is to furnish &C.
cason for an extra session of Congress,
the case is still worse. The occasion
would not be sufficient, for if the APP
portionment is not provided for now it
may rs well be left till next winter
Besides, the people do not want an eX-
ira session. 1t would be an expensive
aiia.c, and it will not be necessary I'M
less deliberately made so for political
purposes. There are, in fact, no politi-
cal purposes to be subserved by it which
would receive the support Of the pub
lie. Whichever way we look at it, the
move is mistaken one. If intended
to defeat Il measure in itself unobiec
it is 4 mistake; if intended to
prevent the passage Of any apportion-
mcnt act this winter it is a mistake,
and if intended to help prepare the way
for an extra session, it is a mistake. In
to all this, the course pursued
has used up precious time in the last
days Of the session and hindered action
ON more important matters. If the
the leaders in this movement imagine
they are making political capital, they
therein commit the most serious mis-
take of all.

Filibustering UnjustiIlable.

The only thing for Congress to do is
to disregard all outside clamor for or
against the bill, and simply do exactly
what seems just and judicious. If it
appears necessary, or even fair and
proper, that certain amendments to the
bill should be made in order that il may
be perfected, the House should make
them, without regard to what the SEN
ate may do or refuse to do, In such
matters it is far more important to be
right than to be hasty. 1t hardly
seems, however, that the emergency
can justify filibustering on the part Of
the minority. There is altogether too
much of this, and a remedy that ought
to be reserved for only the greatest
emergencies is often resorted to on oc-
casions when its use is unjustifiablc.--

East Tawas and Oscoda Pipe Line.

Mention has heretofore been made
of the proposed pipe line between East
Tawas and Oscoda, by which brine was
to be conveyed from the former place
to the latter, where the wells do not
furnish a supply equal to the capacity
of the works. 1t is now learned that
Geo. P. Smith, of the Michigan Pipe
company, of Bay City, has entered in
to a contract with Pack, Woods d Co.,
Oscoda Salt 81 Lumber company, Graf
wick, Smith a. Freyer, John f. Potts
and John G. Gram, of Oscoda, to sup
ply them for 10 years with enough brine
from which at least 1000 barrels Of
salt can be made daily. The pipe will
be nine inch bore of the Wyckof pa
tent, manufactured by the Michigan
Pipe company. 1t is to be laid under
ground at a depth of three feet, and
will be great undertaking, costing in
the neighborhood of $4,000. The
shortest distance between East Tawas
and Oscoda is 49, miles, and the work
of laying the pipe will take until Au-
gust /, providing it is commenced as
soon as the frost leaves the ground
The salt rock at East Tawas is 1875
feet in thickness, and its brine pro-
duccs salt second to none in the State.
There the wells yield, on the average,
200 barrels per day, while at Oscoda
the yield is but about 80, so the bene-
fit of conveying brine to Oscoda will
be readily seen.
At East Tawas will be built pump
ing works, consisting of two tubular
boilers, 6x16, and two powerful en-
gines, and other necessary machinery,
to force the brine to Oscoda, in the
same manner as water is forced through
the underground pipes by the Holly
water works system. The firms mem
toned above intend to erect large salt
works, and Oscoda's annual manufac-
ture of salt will be increased from So
900 barrels to over 100000 barrels.
The work Of supplying Oscoda with
brine will commence with FIVE wells,
which are to be enlarged from the or

The ancient Romans, when they
made triumphant procession in honor
Of some great victory, generally parad-
ed in triumph the kings, princes and
generals they had captured. This Gus
tom has fallen into disrepute in modern
times,-it being regarded as unmanly,
ungenerous, and unworthy great ma
ton The Republicans, however, have
revived the obsolete fashion, and were
not satisfied until they had forced Cen
eral Hancock to Join their Inaugural
triumphant procession. 1t is true there
is no law to force General Hancock TO
attend Inaugural professions, yet it was
an almost impossible thing for the Gen
eral to refuse to be present after being
invited. If he had, then the Rcpub-
licans would have charged him with
being prompted with feelings Of illwill,
with unpatriotic and ungentlemanly
conduct, and similar things. Besides,
the request for the General to attend
and take part in a military display, in
the district he commands, had some
thing Of the force of an official order.
The General, with his usual good sense,
adopted the plan best fitted to put an
end to discord, and, whether agreeable
or otherwise, attended the Inaugural
procession that had assembled to cele-
brate his presidential defeat.
No person objects to the Republicans
having a good time celebrating their
victory, but it is asking too much, when
they want the commander of the de
feated army to be forced to take part
in the celebration.
The following dispatch from Wash
ington, dated the 9rd, to the Detroit
Free Press, will plainly show that the
Inaugural managers did not extract as
much pleasure to themselves from the
presence Of General Hancock as they
expected:
"The city was almost wild this oven
ing over Gen. Hancock. Thousands of
people waited five hours at the depot
to meet him, the train being late. There
is on all hands a greater desire TO see
Hancock than Garfield"

The Lesson TO he Learned.

The great lesson TO be learned is the
necessity of placing financial affairs in
such condition as that neither the banks
nor the Secretary of the Treasury can
control the money market. Mr.. Shcr-
man has been complimented for COM
ing to the relief of the public, and
counteracting the course of the banks
in producing the stringency. But what
does all this signify? Nothing more
than this; Either the banks or the
Financial Secretary hold the purse
strings of the country, and can make
money hard or easy at pleasure, and
both combined could produce a panic
and ruin that has never been parallel
ed. A case can be conceived in which
such power could be used with the most
terrible consequences. Such, for in
stance, as desire to break down q
Democratic administration, just coming
into power. One good effect ought to
result from what has been witnessed in
New York within few days. That is,
to wake up the people everywhere to
consideration of the dangers of our
present financial condition. Boston

A Growing Feeling.

The precipitate and foolish action of
some of the national banks in retiring
their circulation has excited serious re-
sentiment. Many who have been stead
fast friends of the banks and the sys-
tenn under which they are operated,
admit all this, and confess that the
banks have prepared the way for hos
tile legislation in the future. There is
certainly a growing feeling that the
power Of the banks under the law as it
stands is too broad and arbitrary, il
they can at any time, by concerted ac-
ton or common consent, produce a
violent contraction Of the currency and
a serious disturbance in values.--Chi.
