NIP. J. HoYT, THE LATE COLLECTOR.
The letter below goes to shew what
course Of yillainy was adopted by the late
Collector, Mr.. Iioyt, 10 carry out ms cor
rupt and iniquiious purposes, sanctioned
aud aided by the Executive at Washington.
To tie Editors II the Express
Gentlemen, The undersigned bay.ng read the
recent statement Of the late appraisers Of the poTt
OF New York in relation to the wUollens depart
menl, aud having been Tor long time employed
IN that department. as an act Of justice 10 cur
selves and to them deem il proper 10 say that ne
ful.y concur in those statements.
The late appraisers might have gone farther,
and addcc, that not only were the appraisemenis
Of the proper and legal appraisefs nullifed. but
many Instances, MIR. lIoyt the late Collector ut
the por, Of New ork, set aside appFaisements
made legally and illegally, by his own direct as.
sumption aud command.
The signature Of the late appraisers was OBJ
tanned as matter OF form after the examinations
had taken place BY tie other officers, just all
such papers are signed now At the Custom House.
The fraud consisted in using these names as evil
dence, without consulting those who signed the
papers as 10 the propriely OF the seizure. In this
way the appraisers were made 10 sanction seizures
apparently when they ad no reason 10 suspect
fraud, and no information on the subject till the
case camo into court.

an Interesting Stare CdSc.-The New
Orleans Advertiser says :--The third trial,
in New Orleans, Of William II. Williams,
accused Of bringing slaves into the State
Of LOUISIANA, in violation Of law, resulted
On Friday last in 4 verdict Of Gl.lty. The
negroes in question are the Virginia con-
ycts, sold to 90 ont Of the United States,
Of which notice was given to the Collector
here las; season, when ii vas thought an at
tempt would be made 10 introduce tucm
into this port.
The speculation turns out to be q bad
one for the party. He loses the cost Of
the slaves (2i in number at $500 each, i;
subject to fine in louisiana of 5000 each
and lorfeits his bond TO the state Of Nir-
gina, to the amount of S2l ,0O0-total
loss, $4,000.
The Detroit Daily Advertiser says that
Capt. Taylor of the steamer Daniel Web
ster, running between Detroit and Buffalo,
is The fast friend Of the printers; and as an
evidence Of il, he viii carry editors free,
and deduct 81 ffom the fare Of every pas
senger who VIII exhibit proof that be takes
newspaper, and has paid Coz il one year
IN advance.
f the above be true, Capt. Taylor Is
certainly very clever fellow. We hap.
pen to know another clever fellow, the
keeper Of a Hotel. who will make an cX-
cciant match for Taylor; and VIC should
like very much to Try how they would work
together, yiz-Taylor in Steam Boat,
and our friend at the end Of The line. We

Hotel, PhilGdtiphra. Sandcrson always
treats an Editor like prince, and will ac-
cept Of no remuneration from him If all
the Steam Boat Captains and Hotel keep.

a glorious time we Editors wogld have Of it

Brigadcr General Winfield Scott, Ma.
ior General by Breyet, has been appointed
by the President, by aud VIVA the advice
and consent OF the Senate, to bs MAJOR
General, vice Major General Alexander
Macomb, deceased.
At fault rgGin.-Il viii be seen bv re-
ference to the Congressional proceedings
Of Friday, that Mr.. Calhoun vcnturcd the
assertion in the Senate, that Ex-Governor
Dudley, and r. s. Gillian, ESQ. late Speak
er Of the House of Commons Of this State,
are both opposed to the establishment Of a
National Bank. We are not authorized to
speak Cor Mr.. Gillian, hut we feel very
certain he will not confess to the " soft inn
parchment Had he been opposed 10 a
Bank of the United States, he would hard
" have been selected in a Caucus Of the
Wing party. over all competitions, to pre-
side over the deliberations Of the popular
branch Of u thorough Wing Legislature.
Mr. G., is, we know, a strict States Right
man, and may have formerly entertained
doubts as to the policy of chartering an In-
stitution Of this kind. But that, with the
lights now before him, and after the expe-
rence of the last seven years, he is oppos-
ed 10 the chartering of National Bank,
we shalt not believe until some one speaks
I" by authority" which, we are very GER
tain Mr.. Calhoun does not.
With regard to Gov. Dudey's opinions,
we have positive evidence Of the inaccura-
cy of Mr.. Calhoun's statement, furnished
in the subioined extract from a Message,
transmitted by him to the Legislature on
the nth Of November, 1910 ;-Ral Reg.
