THE CUSTOM-HOUSE INVESTIGATION
We are very much disposed to think thai
this Investigation is only an ingenious piece o
charlatnnrie. When the commissioners re-
turned to Washington, at the close OF their la
hors, accompanied with several volumes OF evi-
dence no report was made 10 tie Department.
nor could they agrre on making report. Each
commissioner differed so much with his associ
ate, that he had 10 make his own report. Two
reports were thus made. differing in views and
conclusions. and Old Poins." though he diff
ftred with both, made no report. He loved his
ease too much for that.
The truth is-the original investigation is
supposed to have been set on foot by certain i'm
porters. to get back 100000 worth Of property
which the lte collector had seized Young
master Dwight, who wro:e the articles aglins:
our morals in the Express, was considered the
counsel and agent OF these houses, (fecs prnba
bly, S. 000) ard under the geueral smoke Of the
investigation, ii was supposed that the Govern.
ment nigh. be induced 10 refund the seizures
Mr. Dwight was thp author Of many of the stric
lures in the New York Express that led to the
investigation, and the attempt made to charge
fraud upon the eastern manufacturers, in order
to make great noise possible. Again
it was sought TO white wash Swartwout, BY whit

Worth Recording.- difficulties in
the currency within the few last years are
attributed by the federalists to the war ol
Gen. Jackson upon the rascalIy Bank of the
United States. Bat how is the fact? Be
tlDeen the gears 1911 and 1880, one hund
red anil sirtyJfOe Banks failed and saddIed
the people with the loss Of millions. They
had been breaking and robbing the conmuni-
ty for 19 years before the war of Gen. Jack
son on the United States Bank. Many banks
we doubt not, have been honestly and I'ru-
IDENTIFY conducted, and among them are most
of the banks in this State; but these excep-
tions are 50 few, compared with the aggre-
gate, as to be but drop in the bucket. The
odious feature of monopoly is of itself enough
to condemn it. The business of banking is
forbidden to the people at large and secured
under complete immunity in use and abuse
to corporations, and the equivalent returned
for the exclusive privilege has during the last
five years consisted in cheating and defraud-
ing by the wholesale.

IMPROVEMENTS OF THE AGE.

In the days of ancient superstition, men
were supposed to sell themselves to the
body and soul, in order to get rich without
labor; in these maInmon-worshippiBg days,
they sell themselves to the Banks for the same
reason. The evil one has grown wiser as he
has grown older he now comes it over man
kind in a roundabout way; to appear to
them personally as he is reported to have
done formerly, would ruin all he therefore
employs agents who do his business equally
as faithfully and efficiently as he could do it
