Howsard wns o black whoop, aud thac, like Pomeroy and Harlan, hls profesaions of oxtreme piety wore but a cover ftor weakneases on the pocumary side of human nature. (uothor words, thut Gon, Howard, while na Dbetter than the world's people, hus, lie Pomeroy aud farlan, beon advertising himsell 84 the possessor of nuusual virtues, sud las made his Christian character o trading capital ab the exponse of the Government and tho freedmon, Dofore tho war was closed ho had 8o impressed tho officiul circles a8 Washington with his sanctity that to lim was practically committed the temporal welfare and spivitual salvation of the ounfranchisod negra, Gen, Howard was the rec- ognized Apostlo to tho Africavs. He bad tho confidonce of the Governmant and of tho colored men, and was commended to the people gener- ally by tho zeal with which he preached evan- gelienl pioly as tho foundation of tho political groainess of tho fioedmen. Cougress appropri= stod large sums to eapport the Freedman's Aid Bureas, To make ita appreciation of tho god- lesy character of Andrew Johuson better known the Freodinnn's Aid Bureau was mado a sort of indopendont govormudat of itself, and Gou. Howard was medo its Cblef. At last the condition of tho affairs of, the Burosu bocamo 8o doplorably bad thut its moasge- ment, books, and acconnts were handed over to tne War Department, Gen. Howurd transforving his pious zenl to tho downtrodden Indions on tho froutiors. YlLore have been re- poated attompts to bave Howard's admivistra- tion investigated, but, owing to iy roli character and political oithodoxy, these exforts havo been fruitless. Last winter, matiers roached n crisis, and the accounting officors had to report that ho was “short,” and, finally, Cone gress agled for & further report. 'L'he Secrolary of Wur Las now prosented ihis roport, showing that Hownrd is a defsulter in tho sum of #278,573. Tho report of Scerctary Bollnap was read in the House ou Friday last, and referred to 4 committee. & Ordinacily, an oflicer of the army undor theso circumstouces would bo iried by court-martinl, and, if convicted, would be suitably punished. But, wiule o Major-General in tho army, he wus # Comuwissioner of the Freedman's Dureaw, sud Lis defuleation i3 ns Commissionor, and not ag Alpjor-Goneral, Under thexe circumstances, additional legislation will bo uecessary in order ‘o evabls tho Department to order a court-mar- tinl, As wounderstand, theroisno existing bond, and, therefore, no socurity for the mouney lost, 3avo whaot may be recovered of him personally. Gen, Howard, in tho eoxorcise -of bis au- thornity 28 Chief of the Freedmau's Bu- rean, ossigned 2 largo amount of monoy to found and endow & university at Washe iugton, which has been named after Lim- solf.

Cox and Gon, Huw- loy, in the ITouso, on Friday, reculls tho notable quarrel bobweon Brutus and Oassius, in tho tont of the former. Brutus hnd boon acousing Cas- sius of Lribery, aud of being engaged, like Mr, T'weed, in velling officos for gold to unde- sorvors, At last the two grow very irascible, and tho following pointed conversntion ensuos JSrutus—You oay you arc u bettor soldler, Let it ap- pear 8o ; make your vannting truo, und it shall ploase mo well, For mine own part, 1 eball o glad to learn of nolo men, Caswiua—Yon WEong me every woy, —5on wrong 1o DBratus, lsaldun elder soldler, uot o botter.

In ths caseof Cas- siug Cox and Brutus Hawloy, however, o singlo Iettor caused all the trauble, aud filled the Houso with the warlike dm of the comontants, Cassius Cox lind charged Connceticnt mon with having cowered beforo Bpain, Brutnus IHawley, boiug n Couuecticntor, understood Cagsius Cox to say that ho was u coward, In vaiu Cosslus Cox in- sisted thnt it wos cowerod with un **e.” Drutus Hawley would have it coward with an *a;” and neither would accept the conelliatory offor of Mr, Garfield tohavoit cowhord withan “h." Brutus Hawley was all fight; Cassius Cox wouldn’t fightat all. Brntus Mawley was rondy to spill his Dlood for su *‘n ;" Cossius Cox wouldn't losoadrop foran *“a) At last Brutus Haw- loy’s noblo rage cooled down whon he hecamo conviuced it was not mn “e," aml the two fummng and [ussy warniors bocamo friends, Wo canfoss, howaver, that wo aro unablo to appreciato tho nice metaphysical distinotion upon which they scttled their griovauce, Wobstor definos coward with an “a,"” ag follows : Cowanp—1, A person who lacks courage to meet danger ; & timid or pusiilsnimous man o poltroon, 2 (Uer,), A on borne fu tho escutchieon with luis tall doubled between his legs., The same suthority dofines cowered with an “p," a8 follows : CowER—To siuk by bending tho knoes ; to crouch ; tosquat ; to bond down turough fesr, Now, wo submit thac to sing by bondiug the knoes before Spain ; to crouch hofore Spain ; to squat boforo Sjain; to bond down thiough foar beforo Bpain, is just as Lad as to be lion with Lia tail donbled butwoor his iogs, or o pu- sillanimous mau, or § poltroon. In fast, the two words are intimatoly reluted. When a dog cowers with ad “o," ho always puts his tail bo- wween his logs, like the coward with an .“a™ lion, The dictionary, therefore, leaves us in o quandary as to tho oxact mauner in which the combntantesettled thokr griovancos. Woean read- ily uoderstand how Brulus and Cassius could get by tho ears ovor two words having differout meanings, aud sottio sud embrace cacia other when the mistako was explained ; but how these two bloodless Lioroes could wquabbloe aver two lotters and become reconciled to cach othor, when the difference beiweon the two lottors was only the differonce between a dog and o lion with their tails botweon thewr legs, is & couun- drum which wo give up at oneo. TEE REV. MB. HEPWORTH AS A FILI- BUSYTER, A meeting was held in New York on Friday evoniug to blow o httlo lifo into the expiring embers of public anmosity toward Bpain. ‘The firt openicer was tho Rey, G. 1, Hepworth, who recently made some comunolion in religious circles by loaving the Unitarian Churel to join the Episcopalian. r., Hepworth is roported 28 having doclured himwself for war. The lunguoge attributed to Lim is that *We bave mado our first demund on Bpain; a secoud one ought to Le sent, uot by tolegraph, nor yet by mail, but under cortain circumstances inwde o bomb-shell.” Tho circumstances under which the bomb-sholl ought to bo substituted for the tolograph aud the mail aro not stuted, and it is undoubtediy trus that circumstsuces might exist which would warrant such o procosding, In order to judge of tho propriety, respectability, aud deconey of Mr: Hepworth's nppearanco on the stump with a war spoech in his mouth, we must look atb circumstauces as thoy sre, and nct as they might be, ‘Whon Peter drew & sword and smote off the HMigh Priost's servant's ear, his Mastor eaid: Pat up thy sword into its place, They who talke tho sword shatl perish by tho sword, On another memorablo ocension Ho sgid : Blossed aro the peacemakers, for they shall bo callod tho children of God. It must bo admitted thut Chwistian nations, Christion poople, and the Christlan clergy Liavo improved upon cho teach- g of Him whom they profess to tolluw, in the use of the sword, In pouint of fuct, thore Is ouly ouo Christinu goct which eeoks to put in practice the dovtrines of Christ in that baliult. Tho Quakors profess to bolieve thut what Chilst taught on this subjeot is‘really good doctrive. All othor woots, from Romau Catholics to Independunts, estbor ignoro and spurn (oo teachiugs utterly, or put them in practico only when (heir viows of soll-intorost happon to harmonizo with thaw, It moy well bo doubted whother tho ‘enuso of Peace hay nequired any considorable strength und con siderntion fn the wald by virtue of the pecopts and exmmple of tho Prince of Peaco. Whey Olwistwws uro inclined to pence they can quots what Christ neid, with sutisfuction aud unction; but when they ave'inclingd to war thoy nevor stop on no countof nuything that Christ said or did. - The onusy of Pooco bns guined rauch in the lust con- tury. Wo hinve naw nn voligious wars, and wo heve fower warg than tormerly for the acquisi- tion of terrilory, ‘The costs and anioring which war entails tond to the promotion ot peacce Whatever progress menkind has made to the bloaeed orn when thoro whall bo no more war has booen due to hursh and drendsul exporienco of its ovile, What, now, are the clrcumstances under which the Rev, My, Ilopworth talks of sending mon- sagos to Bpain in tho form of homb-shells ? Tha Governments of the two conntries bave signed & protacol, or proliminary treaty, stipulating that each Governmeut shall do cortuin’things, aud that when theso things nro done tho amicablo rolations of tho two conntrics shall bo vesumei, Btopa have alroady been takento carry into offect thq toims of tho protoool, Hereupon a clorgy- manof an {mpostant religlous denomination yalses thohoarao cry of war—war ** undor cortain ciroum- atancos,” What othor offoct cau this havo (pro- suming that it has any offoct ab all) but to stir up bad blood and sot mon to cutting ench othe er's throats without causo? This sort of talk may do vory woll for the hero of Fort Pillow, ur auy othor unowmployed butcher; but when it cumen from o professcd followor of Teaus of Nuzareth, ho ought to bo oxpelled incontinently from the Christlan commuuion. ANOTHER WAREHOUSE REZORIIL, T'he Directors of tho Board of Trado are now consldering the propriety of roqnosting, or ro- quuing, tho propriotors of our grain olovators to givo sufliclent bonds for tho redomption of tho grain roceipts fssued by them. It iy nodor- #tood that eoveral of tho warchoussmen have alrendy signifiod thefr willingness to giva tho toquired scoutity for the faithrul performance of thoir contracts to doliver grain whou called for by the ownors of the proporty, Tt is probable, thorefore, that but fittle dift- culty will be oucountered in tho effort to induco all tho warehousemon to comply with the reuest, espocinlly a8 those gentlemon cannot hut recog- nizo the faot that such action is necossary to the wolfare of the grain trade of our city. It in well known in commercial clrcleu that for some time past somo graln-receipts have beon looked upon with disfavor both by operators and monoy-lendors, because the parties issuing them are financiolly om- barrassed, Tho fact that these poutlemen are in difficultios does not prove that tholr recolpts will not be honored on presentation; indecd, thero {s xenson to boliove thut thoy have on hand all the grain that they clalm to have. 'But, uo long as the busiuess public have no guerautes, boyond tho ownorship of so much paper, thero is uecosamily a waut of confidenco; sud Lence arigo the disoriminations reforred to. ¥ It is all the more necessary that such guaranteo ahould be furnished, siucs, owing to tho peculiar character of the grain trade in this city, the dis- trust uffects tho receipts issued by all housos,— though tho receipts of noarly all are kuown to be as good a8 grooubacke. So long as (ho dis- eredited papor is allowed to pass as “rogular™ (delivérable on contracts), buyors of grain, or lenders of monoy on gram-paper as col- latern), #ind it nlmost imposuiblo to avoid taking those rcceipts, and in all the moro lberal proportion to tho whole, a8 the holders of that paper alwaya sort it out, and got rid of it 08 soou as possible. The con- sequences of this mistrust ars felt in a dimiun. ished volume of cash transsctions and a greater difficulty in borrowing money on graln-paper than would otherwiso bo thocage, This involves lower prices for tho property, and consoquontly o lessened profit to the farmer on the grain ho may sond Lero for snlo wiile such doubt ox'sts, Of course, 1t will be understood that the Board of Trade, as an organization, has no powor to compel tho warclkouzemon to file the required bonds ; but it Las the power to refase to 10c03- nize a8 ‘regular” the receipts issued by firms wlio do not comply with the request, The con- sequonce of this step would bo to create dven a greater discrimination than now exists, and cruso & material falling off in the receipts and atorago chrges of the firms failing to give the required bonds. Their unwillingness to givo so- curity would bo gonerally construcd to mocan that thoy were unable to furnish it. THE FIGHT AGAINST THE DEAD-HEADS, ‘With the closo of this yoar tho dead-head sys- tem comes to an oud on tho chiof railroads of the West. Tho rovolt of tho railronds against tho persistent and pestiforous horde of froo- pass boggars bogan last Juve. Oa tho 26th of that month thero was amueting of the managers of the Iilinois Contial, thu Burlington & Quincy, the Rock Island, the Chicago & Northwestern, tho Chicago & Alton, rud the Milwaukee & St. Panl Railways. On bohalf of theso five Com- pavios it was docided that after tho 30th of June no mors freo passes or clorgymon’s half-faro tickets shovld bo issucd. Pauses al- rendy out wore not cancoled, aud tho Companies roserved tho right to pass free their own em- ployes, and to grant exchango passes to tho oflicials of other roads. Tho auvouncement of this réform gave grent satisfaction to the pub- lie, Tho opposition to the movement catho from the dead-hoads, who wero unwilling to accopt therr own emaucipation from tho attituds of mendicancy, and from some of the Eastern railroads, which doubted tho succoss of so bold an oxperiment, and feared the offcct on their business of rofusiug favors t8 shippers of freight and stock. The five Companies named above, howovor, have adhiored to thoir agreoment botter than was expected. The result of tho firat six months of the uow plan has been such as to com- mend it to o lurgo number of the Companies who at first declined to adopt it. A meeting was held I this city on tho 10th mst., in which the aboll- tion of the pass-systom, with some modificatious, was agreed to by thirtcon of the prineipal railrond companios centering in Chicago, Milweulkee, and $t, Louia. In addition totho five which originated the movement, these Com- panies comprised the Winona & Bt. Petor, tho Cliengo & Tows, the Chicago & Paducah, the Chleugo, Pekin & Soutl.westein, the Western Union, the Gilman, Olinton & Springfleld, the Chieago, Danville & Vincenues, and tho St. Louis, fuusas City & Northorn Rallronds, The ngrcement botweon these thirteon Companies takes offact at tho end of this month, and cov- ers the abolltion of the wholo systom of lsaning freo paeses, with these excoptions : 1, Rach road ey geant poswss to the genoral oflicers and regular salariod travoling agonts of the other ronds. 2. Tassos may.be given to porsous traveling in churge of shipments of atock to destination and veturn. Witk theso two cxcoptions tho thirtoen Companies pledge them- nolves to adhoro to the spirit of the egreemont to do uway with the whole dead-hosd systom. If there Is any loophole in the agroemont threugh which abuses mey be expoctod to oreep, it is In the conousslon of pusses to tho rogular salaried travellng agouts of tho Companios, A loosos construction of this olouse might casily vovar a violation of the spirit of tho sgroement, It may bo fair to aesumo that tho Companies intend to muintain their resolutions to their full meanng and intont; bub n plan Latter calen- lated to protect the intarests of the poople wontd bo for tho Ruflrond and Warchouse (Jomwis- nionors Lo roquire from every Company & stato- wont each yoar of nll tho passes it had granted, aud on what ground, ‘Tho oftect of this gratifying notion will bo that aftor the 818t of Decomber the goneral publio will feel that thoy ave all treated alike by the railronds, Tho owarm of dead-hoade, Including nimoat evory ofiicor of the Fodoral, State, and Toeal Governments, employen of exprosy, frelght, aud tranpportation companfes, publishors and uttaches of nowspuporn, and of countloss inferlor periodiosl publications, clorgymon of all denomi- nations, and, in short, every man who was willing to take eomothiug for which lo gavo | nothing, atd who coutd mako tho railronds ho- ltove hio iad somo ** inlluonco,” commereial, po- litloal, moolal, or what not, to uso for or against (bom, will all hinvo to pay their way, or etay st homo.

Tha plaintlit was Mrs. Lucy Aun MecMahon, and the dofond- ants tho Roy. Robort Ilolden and Francis 13, LEldridgo. "'Fbo cireutnstancos wero complionted, but the story muy be thus stated: In 1815, Lidridge, thou 20 yoars of age, suddenly becamo possosred of & fortuno of 50,000, and, like muny others, procecded to spend it in riotous living. Mo boeamo u visitor at tho houso of o womun who swes nominully the wifo of s gam- bler named Ifurrison. Among the inwates of tuis and other liko houses his wealth becamoe uown. The woman had a deughtor who was at #ehool in Canadu, and uuacquainied with ber mother'a mode of life. Tho womau Harrison: and her linsbaod thought it wonld be o good way to dispote of tho daughter to marry hor to Eldridgo, and this wog profiosed to him, Tho pronosition wag recoived so favorably that iho girl was brought homo snd immediately wmar- tled to Bldridgo, tho coremony being private and kept socrot. Elduidge introduced tho gitl to his parents s Miss Ifarrison. After some time, ho visitod $t. Louis on busineas, lived thero for a genson, lost Lis mioney, and returned penuiloss. 1o thon disclosod his morringe, and bis pareuts disearded him, e thon sank into the lowest digeipation and left New York. Aftor hohad been uabsent for some Limo, Lis wife sought a divorce, and employed ps her couneel Mr, Daunis Me- Muhon. Tho decreo way obtained in the spring of 18:8, and in October of tho same year MeMahion marned his client, Tho McMabons werd prosporons and wealtby, and have had a largo family of children. Since that timo, untl! within & year or two, nothing was known or hoard of Eldridge. Ono day McMahon read at tho breakfast-table on account of an attompted suicide of avagrant and gambler named Eldridge, and curiosily was oxprosged to know if ho was the former Lusband of Mrs. McMahon, Their eldest son was sent to ho hospital to inquire, and subsoquently Mr. nud Mrs, MeMabon visited Lim, provided for his comfort, and on his recovery furnished him with a homo sud an incorw at Uucasville, in Conncc- tiont. While Llore, as it subsequontly turned out, he oud Mrs. McMahon kept up a constaut correspondence. Etdvidgo, having nothing else to do, firted' with and pnid marfod attentions to two ladics. Upon Lieaving of thiy Mrs, Medahou suddenly stopped bis allowanco, ‘Wlle at Uncasville he boarded at the lhouse of tho Rev. Mr. Holdon, and when the allowanco was cut off Eldudgo sont Holdon to her with a lottor, informing hor that hoe would publish o book, to be cutitled ‘* My Formor Wifo: A Warning to Yonths of Both Bexes,” Tho lotter also informed ler that tho book would give the history of her paxents, and of tho lives they had lel, and would also contsin all hor correspondence with him, including as many 88 800 lettors, bosides all the par- ticulars of her lfe. 3Ir.

This was refused, The offer was thon mado to Mcdlahou, aud wes refused by bim. Suits were then brought ngainst Eldvidge and ITolden. In the evidenco taken, the facts wo have given wore related, Eldridgo testified to his long correspondence with Mis, AMeduhon, in which, at hor request, ho gave o detailed hig- tory of his life, his adveuturcs, and espociaily Lis loves. Inreturn, she gave him the story of her life, aud unveiled the sccrots of ler own tamily.

It is hard enough to go witkout the oyster, but it is still Dbarder to have our fuith u the innoconce and long sufforing of that pativnt aud silent animal disturbed.
