REMOVALS IN THE CUSTOM HoUsE-We hearu
that seventeen officers of the Customs were removed
on Saturday, and that about eleven, or sone such
number, were removed yesterday or VIII De In
day or two. We also hear that many, II not the
most OF these removals are made on the ground OF
political opinion for refusing contribute to sup
port the Union newspaper Perhaps other reasons
may be publicly given-but these are the real ones
New appointments have been made to fill up these
vacances-taken principally from the :" Guard"
This movement has created great ferment among
the porter shops and small pohtclans-but we don't
see any reason in the noise. Unless the hat is sent
round for subscriptions, the " Union" must give up
the ghost. Some of the Custom House officers are
green enough to refuse to subscribe to the Union,
and say that the following oath prevents them:-

suRyrroRs OFFICE.
All this is sheer subterfuge II we, belonging to
the ''guard," don't make the most of the Offices
now in our hands, and swallow oaths, spoils, and
every thing, we never will have another chance
after 1874. Every man that refuses to pay over $50
or 500 to support the Union, is not fullboeded
Tyler man, should be removed at once. This is
the only way to get along with any degree of hope
success.
The physic begins to work at last. Captain Ty-
Ter intends to purify the custom houses, post Offices
and every branch of the government They may
make noise-but who cares for that We of
the guard," have the spoils for two years and one
month-and we shall hold on.
NoAH's APPoINTMENT-A GLORIOUS NIBBLE-
There have been rumors in town for several days.
that Major Noah has received the appointment of
Surveyor OF the port of New York. pickings and
steaings about 5000.
This is not strictly accurate. 1t is probable,
however, that Captain Tyler, in the generosity of
his heart for the vast services Of Mr.. Noah, may
have promised to give him the Office after the pre-
sent Congress shall have risen. II he had received
the appointment at this time, the Captain would
have had to present the Ex-Judge's name to the
Senate-and who can doubt but they would have
unquestionably rejected it before breakfast the next
day? If he should receive his appointment after
the 4th of March, he might continue to keep it
about year-and in that time he might play his
cards so as to manage to get confirmation, by ma
king vast promises, privately, to persuade his old
republican friends to support Calhoun, Clay,or any
any other for the Presidency, whose friends in
the Senate would vote for him.
As it is, the mere promise is very uncertain of
accomplishment, for long before the 4,h of March,
the Captain may change his mind-a new state of
things may take place-a comet may approach the
earth-the millennium may begin-tEe lost tribes of
Israel may be found-and poor Major Noah may
have had, like the angler in Gala Water, a glori-
Gus nbble, but no A bird in hand is worth
two in the bush, If the Major should not, by any
unforeseen contingency, get the Office in question,
he can have for certain, pair of the Captains old
breeches, which, by letting out little around the
waistband. will fit him almost well a new
pair in these very tight times. We must all be con-
tent with pot luck in these latter days.
AT all events, certain that the Captain will
provide for the good Major in some way-eIther
with his old office of Surveyor, or with an old pair
of breeches.
