THE WAR ON BACHELORS.

Bachelors are likely to have their
boosted comforts rudely wrestcd from
them unless events take different
turn in the near future. Heretofore
many of that class have been disposed
to sneer at the benefits and blessings OF
married life, and point with affected
pride ct the peace and happiness of tho
other state, SO far IS men are concerned.
They talk patrcnizinglY OF the lectures
their married male friends receive, and
hint Systematically at the value of paraa
golic and soothing syrup as promoters
of domestic quiet They arc no. troubled

WASHINGTON dispatches announce
that Minister Thurston. OF Hawaii, will
leave for the Sandwich Islands on the
4th Of April next. He declares posi-
lively that he has received no informa-
ton from his government that his re-
call has been requested by Secretary
Gresham, and yet the conditions sur
rounding him at the National Capital
are such that he has decided to leave
the United States and return to his
island home. From all that can be
learned OF the matter. the minister Of
the new republic has been using his
tongue and his pen too freely, and has
become obnoxious to the present adj.
administration. The silence of Mr.. Thurs
ton and Of tie State Department. in
&C connection with the minister's deter
mination to depart, throws an cir of
mystery around the situation which the
public would liiio to sea removed, and
leaves the relations between this Gov.
.ernmens and Hawaii in q decidedly
strained condition.

HowGATE.s FORMER PROPERTY.

W r H.
The Result of the Criminal Prosecu-
lions VIII Not Affect 1t.
The question has been raised in certain
quarters whether Capt. Howgate. in the
event Of being acquitted of all the charges
now pending against him, would have
ground for bringing suit to recover he
property which the government obtained by
suit against him at the time Of his first
trial. 1t has been claimed by some that
his acquittal now would invalidate the
proceedings under which the government
sold his real estate in this city several
years ago.
1t is stated at the Office Of the United
States district attorney that no ground for
such claim exists. The government a
law to recover the amount alleged to have
been embezzled by Capt. Howgate. The
government secured judgment against him,
Messrs. Cuppy and Ingersoll appearing for
him. but making no defense. 1t is said.
Having recovered judgment, the govern
ment filed a bill in equity to enforce the
judgment. Mr.. Randolph Coyle was ap-
pointed by the court a trustee to sell the
property. which he did, and realized for the
government some $4,000 by the sale.
1t is stated that the result of the present
criminal suits pending against Capt. How
gate can have no bearing upon the inno-
cent purchasers Of the property thus sold.
If Congress should decide that Capt. How
gate is a much abused person, and should
heretofore recovered by the sale Of the
property. it could do SO, of course. but such
action would have no effect upon the pur-
chasers Of Capt. Howgate's real estate.
