The Fallen HOWgate.

Gen. Hazen believes that Capt. How
gates defalcation will amount to 800,
600. 1t begins to look very probable thai
Howgate fitted out the Gulnare expedi
ton with money stolen from the govern
ment. He received credit for being q
very public spirited, self-sacridcing man
for this job, and he should now be sent
to find the North Pole in skiff. The
Washington correspondent of the Kan
sas City Times says of this megatherium
fraud:
"He used his ill-gotten gains in public
display, such as the erection of houses,
the purchase of steam yachts and the
luxury of a mistress. He became a
highly notorious ornament. Some people
were inclined to overlook the rascality
of his character out of compliment to
his well filled wallet. But this is so gen
eral in Washington that such thing
fails to excite comment. He also un-
dertook to find the North Pole, and had
his name associated with this enterprise
in half the scientific magazines of the
world. Congress somehow came to the
conclusion that the pole could get along
without the assistance of MIR. How
gate, and refused financial aid Then he
bluffed it through on his own account. He
chartered a ram shackle craft called the
Gulnare, to which various geographical
societies had contributed vast sums OF
money, and turned it loose i'll the Arctic
regions. 1t got about as far as Halifax,
when the bottom dropped out of the con
Germ, and she came back with her tail
between her legs And il should be
mentioned in this connection that How
gate has never made any return to these
societies of the money they advanced to
help along his scheme. This will soon
be investigated. This imposing fraud,
having a corner on things in the Signal
Office, made the bills to suit himself.
He did a great deal of telegraphing
on government accounts. but 1t seems
there was nothing defective in his
methods. He charged the government
enormous sums of money that never
reached the telegraph company. In
fact, it would seem that all his hell is
coming at one time. He is a financial
wreck. He has been nothing but bub-
bic for years. He has gone ahead build
ing blocks of houses by mOrtgaging all
he owned up to his eyelids, and, now
that adversely has come, creditors are
crowdiDg him to the wall. He may
bluff and put on bold front, but it will
be to no purpose. as Secretary Lincoln
has the facts that individually demon
strate his rascality."

Southern Cotton FactorIes

1t appears that the interest in cotton
manufacturing in the South ID steadily
increasing under the influences Of the
profits declared by the well-conducted
mills in South Carolina and Georgia,
and that new mills are being built in
several places. The Batesville Factory
in Greenville county, South Carolina,
which was destroyed by fire few
months ago, is nearly rebuilt, and will
resume operations in September The
Enterprise Factory at Augusta is to be
enlarged, and contracts for the work
have already been made A company
of capitalists have purchased site on
the Yadkin river, near Idols ferry, and
will erect a factory at that point.
A factoryis being built at Con-
cord, and factories are nearly
completed at Charlotte, and in
Randolph county in the same State. The
old Num- Factory at Montgomery, Ala
bama, which has been idle for some time,
has been bought by two enterprising
citizens and will be repaired and reftted
and put to work, employing one hun
dred and fifty hands. The demand for
the fabrics made by the Southern facto-
ries is so great that nearly all are kept
running on full time to fill their orders.
These factories wisely confine themselves
at present to yarns and coarse cloth, the
making of which they find very profit
able work; but as the business grows
more familiar, and the habit and system
of manufacturing are acquired, it is GER
tain that attention will be turned to the
higher branches of it. Every years ex.
perience furnishes additional proof that
cotton manufacturing can be conducted
more cheaply IN the South, where the
raw material is raised, the climate is
mild and labor is cheap, than in the
Northeast, and that every venture in
cotton spinning in the South, managed
with prudence and economy, is certain
Of success.

The Crisis Reached.

The calmness with which the people
were beginning to regard the Presidents
case after the second operation, was
broken in upon by the alarming reports
of Sunday last, and the feeling of anxiety
has not yet been allayed. Indeed, the
views of DR.. Boynton. given freely yes
terday, are calculated TO render that
anxiety more intense. To his view the
patients blood has septic faint, which
must be removed, the quicker the better.
Worse still, moreover he is so weak
ened that little hope can be entertained
that he will be able to bear the continued
drain on his vitality. While he con-
tinues to take liquid food and is appa-
rently holding his own he is laying up
nothing to stand him should some added
strain come upon him. DIR. Boynton.
who, from his close relations to the
family, might be expected to take as
hopeful view as possible of the case,
thought the President was worse Yester-
day than the day before.
The consultation of surgeons with
reference to the removal of the patient,
We are told, resulted in the conclusion
to leave him where he is for the time at
least. Why they wish to remove him
they do not say. They declare he has
never had symptoms of malaria, so that
that one reason that might be assigned
for his removal is disposed of. Alto
gether. it begins to appear that the fate
of the President is near a decision, and
while we all are stout in hope, it seems
as though ware hoping against hope.

Paris at the age of seventy-two years.

three months, after having given orders

and not word to be spoken by the SER
yant He was asleep during the siege
of Paris One day the bread was so
abominable that he flew into rage and
forced the waiter to tell him the reason
was that the city was besieged by the
Prussians. Count Bertrand was stupe-
fed for a moment At last he got up
and wandered about the hotel for time.

siegedl what ought Bertrand to dor"
And, after few minutes reflection, he
said, 81 will 60 to bed" And he went
to bed and slept out the siege.

The COrean Peninsula.

From our San Francisco correspond
ent we learn that Mr.. Frank Cowan, the
naturalist, has obtained access to some
part of the kingdom of Corea, country
hitherto kept carefully closed to all for.
eigners. The ship sent not long ago by
the United States to negotiate treaty
of commerce with the Corean authorities
was not permitted to approach the
shore. Japan has, however, been more
successful, and five years ago obtained
by treaty port at which to trade with
the natives, and a year ago gained an
other, some three hundred miles
distant. Corea is a peninsula stretch
ing south from the northern part
of the Chinese empire, to which
it is nominally subject. 1t ex ends from
about "a degrees north latitude to 40 de
grees, and has an area about two and 9
half times that of Scotland. 1t is q
mountainous country, and has long been
known to be richly productive of gold,
silver, copper, iron and coal But mining
is prohibited. The government is a
monarchy of the absolutest kind. It's
civil service is filled by competitive ex-
aminations, like that of China, and the
official salaries are large. But as it is the
custom of the country for a person
in Office to support all his relations,
the lot of an off1ceholder il
not, perhaps, always happy one there
more than in some other countries. Mr..
Cowan obtained map from a native
surveyor, and saw enough of the geolo'
ey of the country to be convinced that
gold, silver. copper, lead and iron might
be expected to have wide range, and
ventures the prediction that the next
great monetary disturbance of the world
will come from the opening of the ports
Of the Corean peninsula. 1t must be
remembered, however, that Mr.. Cowan's
opportunities of observation were limi-
ted, as he visited only the regions ada
cent to the ports open to japanese.

New York Times: "The cotton ex-
hibition at Atlanta is to include features
whose devising is very suggestive of a
new era of enterprise and energy which
is dawning in the South. Every impor-
tant railroad in the South and Southwest,
not to mention several in the Northwest,
is preparing to make a display of the
resources of the territory which it trav-
erses, and this will, in some cases, be
expanded so as to include very consid-
cradle stretch of country on each side of
the line. 1t is said that over fifteen
thousand miles of railway will be repre-
sented in these exhibits, and that the
mineral products thus presented will be
of quite unexpected richness and va
riety. The vigor with which the prepa-
rations for the show are being pushed
forward and the fertility of resources
which is being displayed in preparing
adjuncts to it likely to attract visitors
show that the work is in the proper
hands"

investors, and back-set given to every
legitimate industry in the State.
There is no lack of examples of events
of this kind, and no legislation can pre-
vent their continued recurrence.
Since the days of Solomon the fool
and his money have been soon parted,
and it is not the function of Legislature
to provide brains for the citizen. But
in passing either general or special acts
of incorporation for railroads the wisdom
of the Legislature may find an ample
field for its exercise in requiring stock
subscriptions to be paid up in cash and
in providing restrictions upon the
is suance of bonds before stocks are paid
up in full. Then at least the less oppor-
tunity is offered for the construction
company to be brought in for the sake
of making a profit.

Secretary Kirkwood, in addressing
some Sioux and Winnebago chiefs last
week on the subject of securing some land
from the other Indian tribes for the
Poncas, said: Thirteen years ago the
President sent commissioners to make a
treaty with the Sioux. The treaty was
made, and by that treaty land that had
been given to the Poncas was given to
the Sioux. The land of the Poncas hav-
ing been taken from them and given to
the Sioux, the Poncas had no land to live
upon" Secretary Kirkwood in this brief
statement unfolded the wonderful Indian
policy of our government and the reason
we have so many expensive Indian wars
The government not only winks at the
swindling of the Indians by agents and
traders, but deliberately repudiates its
land treaties with them and steals land
belonging to one Indian tribe and gives it
to another tribe; or, as in the case of the
Utes, the government makes the Indians
exchange 100000 acres of vlluable
land for three or four millions of acres of
worthless land. Secretary X rkwood
seems to have been very candid when
talking with the Sioux.
