TO tie Editor Of The Tribune
In the report of the Commissioners 10 investigate
the New-Y York Custom House, made to Congress in
1912 Mr. Butler appeared in no very agreeable light.
Mr. Butler felt this and communicated TO the Presi-
dent letter in which Mr.. B. promised to make full
explanation of his conduct a. some future period This
promise was made in April 1912. Has Mr.. Butler yet
made that explanation Ifso, when was it made
We are now in October, 1915 Can he not find time
TO give us the answer to Poindexter's Report
In Doc No So Of the House of Representatives there
is Report from ibe Wing Solicitor of the Treasury,
stating Hoyts efficiency TO be S226295 81.
The bonds of Hoyt are also reported
The first is dated March % 1885, for the Of $780,
900, signed by
JESSE HOYT. LORENZO HOYT,
ROBERT McJIMSEY. THOS. j. OAKLEY
LEWIS ~ THURSTON, SAML JONES.
Their suficiency as security is certified by William NJ.
Price.
The second bond dated November 30 1899 for 100000
il signed BY the same obgOrs is Witnessed by George A.
Brown and Lorenzo Ioyt and certified as 10 suiciency
by William NJ Price. This second bond was required
as the Comptroller said in consequence Of large de-
fault Of Collector recently discovered" Funny com
muncaon to make to UOyt The Comptroller little
knew that Hoyt intended beat that Collector al that
game
The third bond is dated Dec a. 1899 for 100000 is
signed by the same persons as above named with the
addition of Thdddcus Phelps and who certes on the
the 10Th Dec 1899 Mr. Benjdmis f. Bufler certified that
the surecs were sufficient After Mr. Macenzies pub
lication who can be surprised at any thing the book
was shewn Mr. Butler aided by Mr. Hoyt in the early

The city is in a state of the greatest excitement
and anxiety The negotiations between this Gov
ernment and those of England and France to which
think alluded in my last have failed to effect any
good on the contrary have done great HARM And the
political condition of this country is now exceedingly
critical. Whatever the newspapers may say, the real
question at issue is whether this Nation is sovereign
and independent not. This Government stands on s
national rights. The English and French admit them in
words profess great desires for peace and amy, and
then at the mouth Of the refuse to allow them
their exercise They demand that hostilities shall
cease with an enemy who bought with French gold, de-
carcd war against Buenos Ayres without even pre-
tended cause invaded its territories and actually TO-
mcnted and encouraged dssectiOn and revolutions at
time when its commerce and revenues were destroyed
by an enemy without while within it was shaken 10 its
centre by civil war against its legal government To
morrow fthat enemy shall triumph, he would posi-
bic. nstgate such war as for cruelty and blood has
never been known in this country.
Things are evidently drawing TO crisis. The foreign
ministers l. e the English and French il is said have
sent in tkeir utma,um and preparing to leave Blu
sness OF course is completely stand Our currency
has deprecated - per in short time and still goes
down English merchants refuse 20 make sales al any
price large English and French force including three
war steamers the river The nations are greatly
exasperated against foreg of course while the
mics OF the Government natives and foreigners ex-
pecting a revolution.
Meantime there ID great feeling OF insecurity among
the English they particularly dread popular outbreak
The French say they would rather night than eat They
have old grudge well love OF variety TO crafty
the other hand Americans stand AT this time very m
