New York, Feb. 7. 1874.

NEW OKk, Il eD. 4, 1914.
| The city is very much excited, in consequence of
the developments that have been made in smuggling
transactions; and, am happy to say that the moral
of the public voice is sound and correct in reference
to these matters. They are looked upon with strong
disapproblton, and are denounced, notwithstanding
several of the presses openly advocate frauds the
Post Office by smuggling.
In the papers of to-day you will find reports of the
examinations that have been had before the United
States Commissioner, Mr.. Rapeljae. One of the pa
pers, am sorry TO see, makes very unjust attack
on Mr. Collector Curtis, and accuses him of rems-
ness of duty. The allegation is unfounded and I'M
just. A more industrious, more efficient and faith
fu public officer than Mr.. Curtis cannot be found
He has discharged his duty with very great zeal and
ability, and no complaint justly be preferred
against him.
But that there are matters that wrong in the
house, and over which the Collector has no
control, is fact that need not be denied Regard
for men, who well, and who honorable in
all things, and who would faithfully execute the
laws, but who do not possess the nerve and the de-
cision Of character, essential to the duties of the
station, forbids that should re more explicit
The clustering of swag sering captains, the menace
and bravado Of smuggling importers, and the false
founded complaints Of drunken stevadores, should
never be allowed to brighten public officer out of his
duy nor should the hope of party favor and the lust
Of preferment have such influence his mind as TO
lead him to be wheedled outiof his propriety. In
word, some of the departments Of the New York
Custom House, require a thorough regeneration.
We are having n beautiful day of il The sun il
shining brightly, and Broadway as is usual such
days. is crowded with wit, intelligence, and beauty
in petticoats. Yours, &c. II.

5th. Resolved, That the course pursued by certain
papers IN attempting To tores,s the ION OF the De

ucular individual is anti Democratic la It's character,

crat
The following resolution offered TO the meet

Resolved, That all we ask is a fair urese ntation of
the claims of Mr. Tyler to the Democratic Conven.
ton, which is to assemble in Baltimore in May pext
That done, should any other candidate be found
stronger, we will give that candidate our undivided
support.
The following resolution was offered by NJ
Cooke, Jr.
Resolved, That this meeting will vote for any De-
mocrat in preference TO any Wing, which, meeting
with opposition, was Withdrawn.
After the adoption of the foregoing preamble and
resolutions, presented by the commit e. the meeting
was addressed by Messrs. Mordecai Cook, Jr, Taze-
well Taylor, Joseph r. Allyn and p. p. Mayo.
On motion, the following resolution unani-
mously adopted
Resolved That the Chairman appoint a committee
whose duty il shall be TO present the claims OF Mr.
Tyler to the Republican party for its support
Whereupon Messrs P. p. Mayo, VIM N. Will

tee for that purpose
On motion Of Joseph T. Allyn, Esq the following
resolution was adopted:
Resoired, That this meeting recommend to their
Democratic brethren in the several counties and
porations in the Commonwealth, friendly to the cleo
lion OF John Tyler to the Presidency, TO ascertain
their relative strength, and report the through
delegates to represent them in a Convention to be
held in Norfolk on the I'd Thursday in April next.
On motion,

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

FRIDAY, Feb. y, lS4a.
PRAYER by the Rev. Mr. TIssLEr.
The CLERK Their read the Journal Of yesterday
After which
MIR. BAMLIN asked the consent Of the House 10
present petition.
1t was objected to-
Mr. HANlLlNthen moved to suspend the rules
which decided in the negative.
The House then proceeded TO the special orders Of
the day, being. the
REPORT or THE COMMITTEE ON ELECTIONS
Mr.. THOMPSON, of Mississippi, then took the
aoor, aud said that the question before the House
was one questioning his right to seat this floor
doubt to which he entertained but, as II was
question Of vast importance, and one which this
House has the Judicial power TO decide and from whose
Judgment there is no appeal, IT should be met in a
spirit OF fairness devoid Of all party considerations,
and no attempt should be made to make political
capital out Of IT. This question affects the right OF
re pre- NATION inherent right, which belongs 10
TIA people themselves, and which Congress cannot
abridge. The second section OF this act expressly
declares that the States shall be represented by dis
tricts, an6 that no district shall send more than
one Representative. This act conflicts with
The election laws OF the several States and
those States which have not complied with
,his act we're satisfied with their own election
laws as they existed and it is presumed that the Le-
gislatures knew the feelings and interests of their
people better than Congress- therefore they did not
comply with that law. Then gentlemen on the other
side contend that because the Legislatures OF some
of the States refused 10 comply with this law they
are not entitled to representation, which IS virtually
disme mb,rment Of the Union, should IT be carried
out The President gave his sanction to this aot,
expressly upon the ground that he interpreted II as
advisory to the States, and no, as command. inns
was the Interpretation he gave IT, and II he had I'M
dcrstood IL differently, il would never have found
place in the statute book OF the country lie looked
upon the Representative character as the geases'
boon which belongs to freemen, and which Congress
cannot abridge by mandatory las, II the people
should choose TO comply ~ith their State laws IN
