Mr.. Winners Suit Against Capt.
HOWgate.

An interview with IAN ex-army officer"
was published this morning, in which the
party interviewed goes on to partly palliate
the offenses of Capt Howgate and to
speak in light and offensive terms of Mr..
Winner, who has brought suit for 81 900 of
money which he placed in Howgate's hands
for investment in mining stock and which
the latter appropriated to his own use.
THE Critic called upon Capt. Caziarc,
of the Signal Service, this morning and
asked him his views upon the article. That
gentleman said: II regard the statement
Of tho party interviewed as utterly untrue
in fact, and outrageous as to Mr.. Winner.
have investigated this Howgate business
thoroughly and know all about it.
Mr.. Winner had nothing to do
with Howgate's drawing the checks
of the office. He was not its financial
clerk, as is stated. To be sure he was chief
clerk, and as such the finance clerk was
connected with him. But as to the insinu-
alton that he was cognizant, or that it was
natural he should be cognizant of How
gates actions, it is out of the question. Tho
statement that he did not place money in
Howgates hands to invest for him is abso-
lutely untrue. Mr.. Winner owned prop
crty here, and Howgate obtained from him
5000 in one check ON Riggs Bank to invest
in mining stock. He was interested in
mines, and OH several occasions invested
moneys of friends in them. He did not,
however, invest the amount he received for
that purpose from Winner. He appropri-
ated it to his own use. Mr. Winner is a
gentleman who has the respect and utter
confidence of the Department., and the in
situation against him by the party inter.
csted is outrageous"
THE CRITIC saw Mr.. Winner, who showed
the check which he had drawn to How.
gates order 1t had been Endorsed by How.
gate, and the money drawn, but never ap
piled to the purpose it was intended for
Howgate scooped it in for himself
Those who know Mr.. Winner, and he ha.
host of friends here, are justly indignant
that he should be so outrageously traduced

RumOred Resigna ton of Assistant
District Alto rney Perry.

1t is believed that Assistant District At
torney Il. Ross Perry rendered his resigna-
ton to District Attorney Corkhill to-day.
The alleged ground of resignation is the ap-
pointment of William A. Cook by the
Attorney General to attend to cases that
properly came within the purview of the
District Attorneys Office, and Mr.. Perry
did not feel inclined to submit to the slight.
When applied to this afternoon by our re-
porter Mr.. Perry refused.to make any state
ment u out the matter for to-day" But
1t may safely be stated that he has sent in
his resignation, and for the reasons above
stated. Some mention has been made of c.
G. Cole, law partner of William A. Cook, as
the successor of Mr.. Perry, but that is
hardly likely, us Billy Cook would then
probably be the supreme, power in the Dis

According to our esteemed contemporary,
the Tribune, the Hon. Wayne MacVcagh,
Attorney General of the United States, has
given reason. He gave 1t to n reporter
for the Tribune. The reason he gave was
his reason for telling the whole truth about
the President. And what do you think the
reason was? 1t was that because the trip had
been successful there was nothing 10 conceal !
1t would seem to follow, logically, that if
the trip had been unsuccessful there would
have been, in the opinion of Mr.. MacVeagh,
something to conceal, and the whole truth
would not have been told Are the mem
bers of the Cabinet above the Ten Com
mandments? This is the way the Tribune
reports Mr.. MacVeagh's exact language;
/ am willing to tell all that know, be-
cause the trip has been so successful there is
nothing TO conceal"
Let Mr.. MacVeagh study the higher law
and take lessons from the Secretary of State
on truth-telling. 1t is always good without
any because. Remember the cherry

Another Improycment.

The progress of our city is evidenced by the
enterprise and growth of its mercantile
houses. Within the past ten years no me-
tropolis in the country has made more rapid
strides in a business point Of view than
Washington. The latest large enterprise
we note is the opening, after completely
rcnoyating and ncwly-appointing their
large building, of the clothing establish
ment of Likes Berwanger & Co., $40 Seventh
street. This house, which opens to morrow
is one of the most extensive and complete
in every detaR south of Philadelphia, and
stocked from first to last with every variety
Of fine goods. Likes, Berwanger 4 Co. are
their own manufacturers, and hence arc
capable of guaranteeing their goods. They
know what their stock in trade actually
consists of, and it is Of the best class and
character.
An additional feature of popularity at
tendant upon this establishment Is the fact
that ii will be under the management of
Mr.. $. Katzenstein, the highly esteemed and
enterprising merchant of Seventh street.
His name is guarantee for the excellence
of the goods he handles and the reasonable
ness of prices, as well as polite and cour-
teous attention to all customers.

The East Washington po.tal station

The citizens of East Washington wasted
much valuable time and invaluable pcrspi-
ration, considering the torrid season of the
year, in their numerous public meetings,
chickering's and professions of petitioners to
the Postmaster US to the exact spot for the
location of the proposed postal station in
that section.
1t has now been discovered by the Post
Office Department that by the act of Con-
gress of 1874, and by another passed in 1879,
it is not legal to rent any building belong
ing to private citizens for official purposes
unless by special permission given and
provision made by Congress. Hence as
Congress has neither given permission nor
made provision for an East Washington
postal station, the idea must be abandoned
until such action is taken by Congress.
The only possible means by which the
citizens can secure the station will be for
some one of them to tender n site and build
ing to the Government gratuitously with
out reward or hope of reward
