In the country When he was indicted into the
Cr-stom House, he came in with great popularity,
and with much hope but the first month Of his
operations IN that establishment indicated his ut.
ter incompetence for occupying such high and
responsible situation. Hehad neither the intellect
nor the moral frmness or clearness of vision ne.
cessary tor the management of that important con-
cern Standing higher, in an intellectual point Of
view, than Mr.. Lawrence, he has been found, on
Trial, to be far less competent, far less capable,
and far more under the influence of improper in.
'erests and improper men, than his predecessor
was.
These are some of the reasons, simply expressed,
Tor the arrangements in the Custom House, during
the last year, and which place the capacity and Ia
lent of Mr.. Meredith IN the lowest scale. tits not
true that the sum of money allowed by the last
Congress for the collection of the revenue is not
sufficient or adequate for the service. But II Is
! true that the Treasury department has been mis-
managed-has been made instrument for re-
wardipg favorites, who performed services
| during the whole of the last months The
funds of the department have been wasted, without
J any equivalent in service being rendered. Even
| in the recent removals, some Of the most important
have been set aside while men utterly incompetent,
and mere snecurists, have been retained.
| In such view ofthe case, what should Congress
do 4? They should adhere to the Legislation of the
last Congress, and not give single dollar in add
ton to the amount authorized by them for the col
| lection Of the revenue. Let a searching committee
of investigation be at appointed to look into
| the management of the Treasury department at
Washington, and throughout all Its rami6catons.
! We are persuaded that committee of men Of bus-
ness properly selected, and with power to examine
that department, and the custom houses connected
with il, would discover the most astounding and
unrevealed quantity OF folly and waste, if not
rupnon, that ever disgraced any government or
any country. They would also ascertain the pre-
else practices of former administrations. compared
with the present, and arrive at the conclusion that
new system was necessary to be devised for the
carrying ofths branch Of the public service, and
for the safe and speedy collection OF the revenue
for all time 10 come.
