THE HOWARD INVESTIGATION.
Tub investigation of the charges preferred
by Fernando Wood against General Howard
is still progressing, and if some of the news
paper reports of the proceedings are reliable,
damaging disclosures have been ruada. It
would be unjust to the distinguished head of
the Freedmen's Bureau to give full credence
to the allegations of his enemies before he
has bad an opportunity to defend himself,
but as the case now apparently stands it will
be oo easy matter to maintain his
reputation for official integrity. The Howard
University seems to have been a pot project
with the General. He not only lavished upon
it his careful attention, but an undue amount
of the money of the people, and it is asserted
that he permitted a considerable portion of
these sums to find its way into the pockets of
his especial friends and partners in business,
if not into his own individual custody. This
pet University is an educational institution
incorporated by Congress, nominally for the
instruction of loyal refugees and freedmen,
to be located in the District of Columbia,
and it was founded on the idea that
while the Government was to liqui
date the whole expense of the edifice,
it was to belong to the trustees or incorpo
rators after it was finished. The taxpayers of
the United States are now paying an annual
rental of !j."000 for the use of the University,
and $5000 for the hospital. It is alleged that
publio money and property valued at nearly
nino hundred thousand dollars was contri
buted, partly by direct Congressional appro
priation and partly by the orders of General
Howard, to create the institution which the
people must now pay rent for, the bulk of
this money and property being taken from
the Freedmen's Bureau fund. Of $2G3,000
appropriated to aid schools for refugees and
freedmen throughout the whole country,
Howard University obtained 1.10,000, or nearly
three-fifths. On the University and Hospital
buildings more than $300,000 of the Freed
men's Bureau money was expended, and
lands, barracks, aad farms were freely con
Terted to the use of this favorite institution.
Public money, however, has been lavishly
spent heretofore on other projects; and if
General Howard had honestly disbursed all
the sums in question, it is doubtful whether
he would be censured by Congress. The
worst allegations against him are that the
University project was converted into a
private speculation for his individual benefit,
and the enrichment of his speoial friends; and
we need not say that if these charges
are true he deserves condign punishment. It
is alleged that extortionate prices were paid
for some of the materials used in the building,
and that General Howard, being interested in
a Patent Building Briok Company, insisted
that the edifice should be constructed of this
new-fangled material, which proved on trial to
be so worthless that portions of all the build
ings fell down, and that sundry other specu
lations resulting in a serious I033 or increased
expenditure to taxpayers and in pecuniary
gain to General Howard and his speoial friends
were authorized by the head of the Freed
men's Bureau. If these accusations can be
explained away we shall be very glad to
record such explanations, but if not, the
people should insist on the rigid application
of the old doctrine that "if our kings will do
such things they must be made to smart."
silly'susan.
Scs&n B. Anthony came very near making a
fool of herself the other day, at a womau's
suffrage convention in New York. That she
should be guilty of doing so on general
principles will perhaps surprise no one who
is familiar with her vagaries, bnt that she
should have done so in the way she did will
surprise many who have heretofore given her
credit for a little common sense and a fair
appreciation of simple justice. On the occa
sion referred to, Susan undertook to cham
pion the cause of a certain female doctor of
this city who recently figured in our columns
because of her refusal to pay the same amount
of tax as is exacted by the Government from
a man who makes his living by prescribing
physio for the ailing. Miss Anthony, by way
of encouragement to the rebellious doctress,
declared that she hadn't rendered her tax
account, and didn't propose to do so. "If
they want to put me in jail," she added, "I'll
go. I haven t any property to attach exoept
the dress Anna Dickinson gave me on my
birthday." If such is the case, and it would
not be considered impertinent on our part, we
should like to know what has beoome of the
$200 "nest egg" which the sepulchral Anna
deposited in the pocket of Susan s Bemi-cen
tennial birthday gown, as well as of sundry
other gifts which the latter received ou the
occasion of turning her first half century
withou the aid and comfort of a husband
Miss Anthony's silly remarks on the subject
of taxation are about on a par with all the
balderdash which women of her ilk rid them
selves of in connection with this female suf-
f race business. She and all the rest of them
have planted themselves on the platform that
a man has no rights which a woman is bound
tn rflnnect. IlaDDilv. the vast majority of
American women are not disposed to follow
their ridiculous example.
Senator Wilson is reported to have said,
the ether day, "Everybody knows that there
never has been, at any rate during the
dozen or fifteen years, a Congress that has
sat more hours, or that has talked more aid
than the present ConeredS." If
Senator Wilson did not say this and the only
authority we lave for it is the Washington
correppondont of the New York World he
might well have said it without damaging his
reputation for veracity. The present Con
greps has trifled with the patience of the
people in a most outrageous way, and- the
worst of it is, there appears to be no disposi
tion on its part to do any better. The peo
ple can apply the remedy next fall.
REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS IN
THE NAVY.
Secretary Robeson, ever since he has been
at the head of the Navy Department, has
urged the necessity for making the naval
service popular with seamen. This it csr
tainly is not at presont, as is apparent from
the fact that it is extremely difficult, if not
impossible, to procure competent men for
vessels that are now fitting out. The navy
offers numerous advantages over the mer
chant service, and - a large number of the
better class of seamen would undoubtedly
prefer it, if something in the general con
duct of the officers, and something especially
offensive in the discipline, did not
make them shun our national ships.
Several cases of outrageous cruelty to
seamen that have been made public
lately furnish at least a partial key
to the difficulty, and there is good reason to
believe that,even when not cruel, commanders
are often unnecessarily arbitrary with their
men, and for no sufficient reasons deprive
them of many privileges that they ought to
enjoy. The efficiency of the navy depends
quite as much upon the enlisted men as upon
the officers; and if it is expected that it shall
be prepared to meet any sudden call, trained
seamen must be encouraged to consider our
national men-of-war as their proper homes,
where they will be sure of good treatment if
they behave themselves, and where a faithful
performance of duty on all occasions will be re
cognized and rewarded by those in authority.
borne months ago Secretary Robeson issued
a circular calling attention to this matter, and
impressing its importance upon the com
manding officers of the navy. He has now
prepared a plan for the classification of
offenses and punishments on board vessels of
the United States Navy, with directions as to
good conduct lists, badges, discharges, liberty
on shore and liberty money, that has some
excellent features and that is at least worth a
trial. The merit of this plan is that it gives
the navy a system by which a definite induce
ment is held out for good conduct, and by
which the men can know exactly what to
expect in case they do their full duty, without
being dependent for reward upon the caprice
of their officers.
The plan of the Secretary is to divide the
crew of each vessel into four classes in the
order of good conduct. The first-class men
are to be allowed every opportunity for recre
ation that may be compatible with the de
mands of duty and the exigencies of foreign
service, and an appropriate distinction is to
be made between them and the rest of the
crew, but without its being so marked as to
excite discontent. One of the privileges fof
this class is to go on shore very frequently
when in port, after the work and exorcises are
ended, t return at 10 o'clock, but on special
occasions to have leave until a later hour. They
are also to have liberty on shore for twenty-
four hours twice a month at the discretion of
the commander and the privilege of drawing
one-third of their monthly pay while in port.
The second, third, and fourth class con
duct men are to have these same privileged
in less degrees, according to their standing.
The requisite qualifications for first-class
conduct men are strict attention to duty, im
plicit and ready obedience to orders, sobriety,
alacrity, courageous conduct, neatness of
person and dress, quiet and respectful de
meanor, and general usefulness. This classi
fication is to be irrespective of rating. At
the end of a cruise first-class conduct men
will receive good conduct badges before being
discharged; the badges to be presented by the
commander at a special or a general muster.
These good-conduct badges are to be worn by
tbe men at general muster and at all occa
sions of ceremony.
The second-class conduct men are to re
ceive good conduct discharges if they have
been but slightly behind the first-class re
quirements, but they are not to receive
badges. A good-conduct badge is to be con
sidered an advantage as a recommendation
in re-entering the service or in seeking other
employment.
In addition to the above, a classification of
punishments that may be inflicted by com
manders of vessels, without resorting to sum
mary or general courts-martial, has been
made. The punishments are solitary confine
ment for from three to seven days on full ra
tions or bread and water, without irons; con
finement from three to ten days in double
irens on full rations; confinement from three
to ten days in single irons, or without irons,
with full rations; confinement over night; re
duction of rating; deprivation of liberty on
bhore and extra duties.
The offenses are those usual violations of
discipline that require punishment and that'
do not demand a court-martial, and by
arranging them in this manner, with their
proper punishments specified, the men can
know what to expect, and no possible excuse
is offered to officers for punishments that
have in them any of the elements of cruelty.
Such a system as this, if properly carried out,
ought to promote greatly the efficiency of the
navy and aid in removing many of the preju
dices against it that are now held by some of
our best seamen.
"Bkick" Pomeroy, that "red-hot" speci
men of Egyptian Democracy, threatens to
become tbe successor of John Morrissey in
Congress, although he considers the latter
"a first-rate fellow," and confesses that he
"rather likes him." Morrissey appeared in
his seat for the first time during the present
sekbion a few days ago, and since he has been
a member of the House has behaved himself
altogether in a very creditable and retiring
fashion. Between him aad "Brick"' Pome
roy there should be no hesitation whatever.
A quiet, modost, non-speaking Morrissey is
incomparably better than a noisy, impudent,
blatant "brick" like Tomeroy: and we trust
that if the Democracy of the Fifth district of
New York can find no better successor for
him than the latter, they will give him at
least the customary second term.
The Vote in France. Later returns of
the vote in France on Sunday indicate a much
larger majority for the plebiscite than was at
firfet reported, but the negative vote still foots
up about 1,500,000, which, in view of the
past, is significant. The large negative vote
catt in both the army and navy shows that
there are thousands of men in the servioe of
the Government upon whom no dependence
could be placed in case of an insurrection,
unless, indeed, the vote kas beeu doctored up
by the Government, and thousands of sol
diers and sailors induced to vote "No" for
the sake of an appearance of fairness. But
peaceable as was the election throughout
France, the crisis did not pass without the
almost inevitable attempt at barricading the
streets, an attempt which was as futile as,
under the circumstances, it was foolish.
Washington Territory has made up its
mind to become a State forthwith, and on the
(th of June will vote upon the question as to
whether or not a Convention shall be
called to draft a State Constitution. But it is
said that the people of this distant region are
so bent and determined upon acquiring the
honors and duties of sta tehood that the elec
tion will be a mere ceremony. The trifling
circumstance that the total population of the
Territory foots up only 40,000 does not ap
pear to trouble the Washingtonians in the
least. But perhaps they will be content with
one-fourth of a Congressman, which will be
about as much as they are entitled to. As to
the matter of Senators, they will of course
insist on having as much voice in the Upper
House of Congress as is accorded alike to
great, populous States like Pennsylvania and
Delaware.
A Chicago taper complains that the Illi
nois State Constitutional Convention now in
session at Springfield seems to be actuated
solely by the desire to ruin the business of
the former cit, and with that object in view
an amendment to the Constitution has been
submitted to the convention prescribing that
unfaithfulness to the marriage vow shall
henceforth be the only ground for divorce.
Here's a chance for Beecher and Frothing
ham to go on a missionary tour. The other
day the convention was on the point of in
corporating in the Constitution a clause
allowing women to vote, when in stepped a
weak-minded Bister who, by a few well
directed points, managed to avert the ca
lamity. The great apostles of the affinities
might be equally successful in saving the
divorce system of Chicago from utter ruin.
The creditors of a certain bankrupt down
at the Hub are petitioning Congress to re
lieve his estate from the payment of some
$15,000 which are charged against it by way
of taxes, and it would not be surprising if
Congress turned a favorable ear to the ap
peal. The whole country is making a similar
petition, but that is a vastly different thing.
While it is comparatively an easy matter to
relieve one man of a burden, when it comes
to raising the load from thirty or forty mil
lions of people the task assumes such gigan
tic proportions that even Congressmen stand
aghast, and seek refuge in buncombe speeches
on the beauties of self-government.
Scbanton is getting to be one of the great
places of the earth. It has just witnessed the
erection of a house by a private citizen which
"in the wonderful combination of utility with
elegance'' far exceeds "the costly splendors
of the Eastern world, the Mosque of Omar,
and the Golden Palace of Nena Sahib at Cal
cutta, as well as the regal dwellings of the
Queen of England." We would scarcely be
lieve all this if a Scranton editor who "has
seen" the "the costly splendors of the Eastern
world," and everything else with which he
compares the wonder of Scranton, did not
vouch for its truth.
A Fbikcb paper complains bitterly of tbe present
lasbions. According to it toe laws or taste nave
been repealed, and all Is In cod fusion. Women are
such slaves to fashion that they adopt all sorts of
ugly and ruinous trappings. If the autocrats of the
scissors and thimble insisted on dressing them in
dusters they would not murmur; some Severn or
eight hundred francs would be spent on a costume
which, when the fancy for it had passed off, would
at least serve to wipe the dishes. This would be
something, for many of the useless adjuncts to dress
are useless when the rage for them is over. Bon
nets are worn which do not cover the head
or shield the face from dust, sun, and wind. The
Improbable and impossible braids of hair worn with
these bonnets deceive no one, and do no good to
any one but the hairdresser. Crinoline has, indeed,
entirely disappeared, but In Its stead we have
starched petticoats with puffs, ballooninga, perpen
dicular trimmings, horizontal trimmings, etc., to a
bewildering extent. Little plates poised on the fore
head serve as huts, and broad ribbons are twisted
round the neck, in consideration of which excess
the ends of the sash are curtailed. Skirts are not
worn long enough to display the elegance ef a train
or short enough to be convenient for walking. But
as regards convenience, great novelties are pro
mised for travelling and sea-side costumes. Such
niodincatlons are to be made in feminine attire that
a achool-boy out for the holidays wlK, it seems, be
the fashionable model.
Emtskprihino Doctohs. The Interest taken by
doctors in all that relates to their profession U very
praUe urth j, but it is to be feared that, owing to
the difficulty which exists In obtaining fit subjects
for experiment, they occasionally make use of tfcelr
patients,who,when they think they are beiag treated
with a view to immediate recovery, are really con
verted into stepping stones for the advancement of
science. A curious illustration of this will be found
m a lecture "Introductory to the study of diseases
of the akin," by Dr. McCall Anderson, which ap
peared in the London Lancet recently. lie mentions
the case of a little boy who was brought into the
Glasgow Skin Infirmary laboring under a disease
called lupus varlcosui. No local treatment was pre
scribed (says Dr. Anderson), but he was ordered to
take a tablespoon'ul of cod-liver oil three times a
day, in order that the students might have an op
portunity of observing; the action of cod-liver oil In
such cases. The eruption Unproved very slowly,
and It was about nine months before It had com
pletely disappeared. Had appropriate local treat
ment been adopted simultaneously, there Is no doubt
that It would have beeu removed in a few weeks.

Till people of Vermont to-day are engaged m
voting for delegates to a State Convection, which
will meet at Montpellcr on the eighth of June next,
to approve or reject tho amendments to the State
Constitution, which were proposed by the late
Council of Censors. The propositions will be voted
upon by the Convention separately, and such as
receive a majority li that body will become part of
tbe State Constitution. Tho points of the several
proposed amendments are as follows:
Article 1 forbids the Legislature to create, or to
enlarge or diminish the powers of corporations, by
special acts, except for municipal purposes.
Article 8 provides for biennial sessions of the Le
gislature, Instead of annual ones, as the rule now
is, and for a corresponding change from one year to
two years iu the term of service from state and
county otllcers, and of Senators aud town Heprc
gentailves. Article 3 provides that the Legislature may by law
provide for the filling of vacancies in the oillce of
Senator or town ltepresentatlve.
Article 4 provides that the Judges of tlie Supreme
Court shall be appointed by the Governor by ami
with the consent of tho Senate, and for the term of
six years, one-third of them being appointed once
in two years. In case Article S is adopted and Arti
cle 4 Is rejected, It is then proposed to make the
term of Judicial service two years Instead of one, as
at present.
Article a provides that women mar vote with no
other restrictions than those imposed on men.
Article 6 provides that in the year isso, and in
every tenth year thereafter, the Senate may bv a
vote of two-thirds of its members proposo amend
ments to the Constitution, which, if concurred in
by a majority of the members of the House of lte
rresentatives, shall be entered on the journals of
Toth houses, and referred to the next General As
sembly anil published in the newspapers of the
State. If the said next General Assembly Bhall by a
majority of the members of each houao concur in
the proposals of amendment, or any of them, then
the General Assembly are to submit tho amend
ments so concurred iii to a direct vote of the free
men; and such of the proposed amendments as shall
receive a majority of the votes of the freemen voting
thereon shall become a part of the Constitution of
the State. Tho House of Representatives is In
vested with tho power of impeachment, by a vote of
two-thirds of Its members, and the 43d article of the
present Constitution, providing for a Council of
Censors, is abrogated.
The Ant and second of these proposed amend
ments are dictated by sound statesmanship, aud it
is to be hoped that they will both be adopted. The
fifth, we imagine, is defeated in advance.
