Howgaso's EmbezxIsmsnts.

From the New York Sun.
Further discoveries Of Howgate's
embezzlements in the Signal Service
Bureau have been made, and there
are now seven indictments against
him. 10 the frauds and forgeriss al
ready traced and published, which
aggregated nearly $4,000, there are
now to be added the following items
May %, 1879, $S,15O; September ~,
1879, $1s, 500; February 5, 1880, $6,-
900; August 10, 1880, 81, 900 !; August
81, 1880, s17,16 and September /,
1880, 1900.
Thus it appears that more than
$200, 900 Was stolen in less than two
years, and $50, 900 of this sum inside
OF two days in August 1901 Surely
these figures should have excited some
remark at the Treasury. But they
passed through the accounting of>
fees without the least netice. Howgats
had smoothed the road by entertaining
the officials iiberally at the public exA
pense.
The appropriations for 1879 and 1880
for the general expenses of the oignal
Service were $37s, 900 per annum, or
$3.50, 600 for the two years. Howgate
stole more than fourth of this entire
amount, SO far as is already discover
ed, and the investigation is still going
on. Yet the business Of the bureau
has not been interrupted in any way,
and the remainder of the appropria-
tion Is found abundantly. sufficient to
run the service.
| 1t is not possible TO make stronger
comment than is furnished by these
startling facts upon the recklessness
with which the public money is voted
away, and on the system through which
such aagraDt abuses may be perpe-
trated. The legislation for the Signal
Service furnishes no protection what.
ever against these spoilations.
The new Administration starts GU,
with these vicious surroundings, and
with the knowledge that it is in the
hands of subordinates who have be.
trayed their trusts, and have filled
their pockets by racality. How is ii
possible for Judge Folger to carry on
the great business of the Treasury,
much of it necessarily confidential |, with
any faith in the creatures of John
Sherman

THE CHILEAN WAR CLoUD.-The
nation of South America are all boast
full, vain and conceited, and we would
not be surprised, if the next news
from Chill, which is just now in
high spirits with her great triumph
over Peru and Bolivia, would be very
warlike, and threatening as to what
she would dc should the United States
undertake to prevent her annexing
Peru and Bolivia and subjecting them
to her will AZ her future colonies.
Chill is just now in full armor; her
hot blood is running high AID it
may be expected that her Generals,
flush with victory, desire other fields
In which to show their valor and skill
and her naval captains even more
anxious than her Generals to have a
bout with any vessels that may seek
to give them battle. Hence Chilli will
be as valiant in her talk as Mexico
ever was under her renow wned Emperor
Santa Anna. 1t would of course be
quite as easy for the United States
now to land twenty thousand troops in
Chilli or to reorganize the forces OF
Peru and Bolivia as it was In 1s47 to
land twelve thousand troops at Vera
Cruz, and subject Mexico. But it
would be altogether inexpedient to do
30. 1t would be money lost to our
people, for which no return could be
expected, for both Peru and Bolivia
are exhausted with war. Hence we
can well afford to let Chill talk to her
own content, stimulated az she will be
by the European newspapers to offer
US battle at any time; and it would
not be surprising If she commenced
the fight upon some harmless Ameri-
can captain and crew that might be
in her ports, entirely ignorant of any
difficulty existing whatever. Tho
origin Of the complication has been
stated in detached form. In view of
the present condition it is well TO re

state them suecinstly. Since 1924
Chill and Bolivia have quarreled over
their boundary line. In 1865 the mat
ter was settled by treaty. In 1878
fresh disputes arose. Chilli and Bo-
livia quarreled again. The Bolivian
Minister at Chilli then disclosed in
threatening way that Peru. which was
noninally friendly to Chill, bad made
a treaty Of offense and defense IN
1873. As q result Of the disputes
the facts are too fresh for repetition
war between Chill and Peru and
Bolivia was declared. Chill whipped
both Peru and Bolivia. The former 30
badly that she was completely demoral-
ICED In every way. Chill then set upCah
deron's provisional government, 80 as
to have some apparent Peruvian autho-
rity with which to deal. At the same
time she demands territorial indem-
nifty for war expenses, as Peru is too
impoverished to pay in money.
The United States now makes its
appearance on the scene. General
Hurlbut is appointed Minister to Peru
and is accredited to the Calderon
Government. Chilli, finding that CAL
deron is flooding Peru with paper
money, casts down the government
which she has set up. Upon this Gen.
era, Hurlbut with most unprece-
dented audacity, tells the Chilian
Commander in Peru that the Calderon
Government shall not be deposed, and
THAT Chilli shall not annex foot Of
Peruvian territory. Upon this the
Chilian Government calls ON our Min
lister to Chill to explain, and be de-
nies that General Hurlbut spoke ae-
cordiDg to instructions, and to prove
this he quotes his own. Genera
Hurlbut thereupon replies that hi
acted within his instructions and tina

The Country spared One Day sl
Shame.

For one day the country has been
spared the disgraceful chronicle of the
Criminal Court proceedings in Wash
ington. There WAS no Guitesu trial
Thursday-no display Of the illimitable
impudence and insolence OF the mur-
derer of the Presiden.--no sensational
alteration between the wretch and his
counsel and the Court-no "laughtern
or applause over the "hits" made In
the miserable "spats" which, for MANY
days, had senlivened" the trial and
"amused" the fickle, unoccupisd public
of the National Capital, who were so
ready week or two ago to sheot, hang.
or butcher Guiteau of hand--no further
exhibition Of the helplessness of Judge
Cox's Court to preserve even the SEM
blanee of deceney In Its proceedings.
The country has been spared those NOR
tiiications for one day-and for this one
day that most impressive and dread
tragedy, which such little while ago
touched and subdued all hearts for
many sorrowing weeks-hss not been
turned into hideous mockery, comedy

A COMPLICATED CASE.-The trial OF
Carberry for the shooting to death Of
Adams has become complicated through
the disagreement of the Jury before
whom the prisoner was once tried, and
its discharge, and the question a. to the
legality of his being sEain tried for the
came offence, and the arguments and
citations BY the Attorneys as to the
ability OF the court under the laws TO
try him again. These arguments were
made 10 the court after the jury had
been summoned, formally sworn and
the case put before them. Can the
court deny them the right to take this
question into consideration ? Certainly,
1t can; but the jury may not consider
they are sworn to obey all the Judges
say. And here comes in another diff
Guilty. The court itself has differed as
70 the right to try Carberry q second
time. Judges Wootten, Houston and
Wales all concurring in the opinion that
Carberry is not put upon trial for his
lie second time, and Chief Justice
Comegys advancing written opinion
very ably backed up by references that
he has been tried once for his life, and
therefore should be discharged. This
opinion is likely to 60 before this jury
or any other Jury 10 spite Of all the
efforts OF the court to the contrary
should 1t be deemed necessary to try to
keep 1t from them. IL Is an admitted
and long established axiom In law that
mans life cannot be put in jeopardy
twice for the same offence. Hence the
simple question arises "hss Carberry
been tried for his life ?" The court say
he has not. But the Chief Justice say
he has. The jury will have 10 fight thi
battle over in their room. The who'll,
question haying been argued after th,
case was brought under their cog
nizance.
No one acquainted with the fact
doubts the shooting or attempts to den,
that the offence was heinous one. An.
the jury before whom Carberry wa
tried differed only as to the weight o
punishment; they could not agree tina
the penalty should be for murder eithe
IN the first or second degree or for man
slaughter; and hence they asked to b
discharged and were discharged. Th
same questions must arise In the jur
room again complicated with the que.
tion as to the legality of the trial, owin
to the difference of the Judiciary on u
question and lhe citations produce
from the court records by the attorney
On both sides. The doubt as TO th
legality Of second trial will creep /
and iorce itself upon The consciences {
