District Attorney stated the facts that he expected
10 prove in this case, and entered iHto very high
eulopium on the vigilance Of the officers Of the Gus

teman also said that certain persons who set them
selves I'M as the expounders Of public OPINION had
thought proper to censurc the public officers a. if
they were deserving Of apprehension for carrying
ont the acts of Congress. Now, said the learned
gentleman the collector, when he meets with a
like the present, or like these tried in this court
has no right 70 receive any explanation, and Is as
much bound to seize as he is To collect the full
amount Of the duties imposed by law. The learned
gentleman called the following witnesses;

the ship Louis Philippe, from Havrc. Had been

in the habit Of importing similar articles to those
now in dispute. ! received similer package by
the same vessel The result of the examination was
that the goods were charged At nearly one half less
than others imported in the same vessel, and pur-
chased in Paris the best TERMS viz. bills on de-
livery. The appraisement now produced was the
result Of nv best judgment at that time The goods

The Meesingu last niShs-scese 49, Clss-
The Presidensisl Crfsas.
Last night the whig voters met in the
and selected three members each 10 represent s"ca
IN the county convention to be held ON even
su~ NEXT and there oelect four representatives. 10 ~
,..a The Nstional Convention at Harrisburg Tor the
.o;.aio. OF candidates for President and Vice-Pre-
sident.
II win be perceived at once that . great crisis in
the fortunes and policy Of the opposition is now at
hand. If the convention at Harrisburg select pro-
per candidates, capable Of exciting popular enthu-
siasn-of creating confidence in the great mass OF
the people opposed to MIR. Van Buren,, It is highly
probable that the vote of New York, and with her,
q majority of the other states, will be east for such
candidates against Mr.. Van Buren, Sofa As regards
this conceive the selection Of these delegates
Of far greater importance than the issue Of the last
election. The wings have indeed carried the state,
bya very diminished majority, as compared with
that Of 1887, or 49, In the former year, 1887 the
aggregate majority over the locofocos, was about
10000 votes-last year it was 10,50O-but this
year it has down to ameagre 5000 or $500, out
Of a constituency Of nearly 100000 voters.
In the victory just achieved, there is nothing to
brag INDEPENDENTLY when reflect that the
iocofccos seepless untirng, Watching restless,
ambitious, reckless, unchanging foe-always in the
field, and always ready for fight. In 1887, when
the wings reached their greatest victory, they began
. of arrogant selfish and intolerant measures,
stimulated by the stock ebbers and spectators Of
Wall street, which have gradually reduced them to
their recent narrow escape from defeat. That the
spirit and impulse Of these arrogant orig
mated in this city, may be from the utter defeat
sustained in this district. Philip Hone, Charles
King, James Watson Webb, M. M. Noah, and their
various agents and undersrapper, together with the
Wall street press under their control, are the
sources of this intolerant, arrogant, anprncipled
and reckless dictaton In tive years these insolent
men, who set mp for exclusives and dctators, have
nearly ruined the whs party, and if they be allowed
to WELD the same influence hereafter, they viii
cause its total demolition and destruction.
At this moment a most and unworthy in
to vote for Henry Clay, although they may affect,
and do affect to talk Of General Scott, and TO amuse
his supporters with fair weather promises. 1fthis
intrigue should succeed, of one thing we may rest
assured, Henry Clay can get the State of New
York-and il his friends persist in it, the ocofocos
will carry this State next November by one Of the
most overwhelming majorities that they ever yet
had
From this time up to next Tuesday night, we shall
examine tie merits and the history Of both
these candidates. Scott and Clay-and if the county
convention do not select the proper delegates,
openly and above board, for General Scott we shall
call public meeting and send double set TO Har-
risburgh, and let that convention refuse them seat
IL they dare.

Nov. ll.-Erenfs of q nighf-On Friday nisht

loafers, with light compilations and long hair ar
ranged a la Boweryfed, were seen emerging from

In the course Of the day he re appeared, accom-
panied by b. +. Tompkins and another police ofscer,
who told the keeper OF the house that II she did not
give up that dollars she would get into trouble
for warrant had been issued against her BY the ma
gistrates.
The girl who had been the companion cf the ju-

HE NEW THEATRE.-A highly respectable meet
ing was held last night at the Aston House, relative
to the erection Of the theatre Several plans were
laid before the meeting; one by Mr.. Pollard which
was not agood one; one by MIR. Drape, which had q
better external appearance but the decision Of the
Committee is reserved for the ensuing meeting.
There was great dead Of unanimity and enthusiasm.
Trustees were chosen, and the greater part of the
stock subscribed for From the aspect ofhs meeting,
we should judge there is scarcity of money where
there is a certainty Of COOS investment. A state
ment was shown that the receipts Of the property
would be 37, 900 yearly, allowing $4,000 as yearly
sinking fund, to paying off the mortgage that Mr..
Coster will have the property. From all appear
ances this theatre will be commenced early in the
spring, and finished in time for the opening Of the
next theatrical season.
