OuR CUSTOM HousE-WHAr A HAUI--The
.Neu Hampshire Patriot in an article on pro-
scription. thus refers to the merciless decapita-
ton Of the democrats of our custom house, by
Mr.. Collector Maxwell -
Take the New York custom house a. o sample
There are 626 officers there exclusive Of aborers
and Il appears from the records that since the wings
came into power 472 removals have been there made
And to show the greediness Of the wing applicants
for the spos it need only be stated that on the very
day the Collector was sworn into Office he made forty
two removals. He made six before he was sworn In
thirty days from the time Of his entrance upon his
duties he removed 220 persons and in the course OF
q few months he had made such a clean sweep that
only SO democrats remained in Office, with 664
wings! like sweep was made in other custom
houses and so clean work did this antpr0scrp-
ton" administration make in the Offices that de-
mocrat could scarcely be found in an office which
whig could be found to take.
This is ominous for the 564 wings to be
turned over to the charity of the new Collector.
Alas the democrats are hungry-hard shells
and soft shells-and charity begins at home. In
the course of the coming month we may antici-
pate large emigration from the custom house
to California and Australia. What a blessing
to elected Office holders that they can fall back
upon the gold mines! Such is the beautiful
working Of our benefcent institutions! What
q magnificent country.

The United States mail stsamship Crescent CITY, which

weekly arrangement, promised some time back, for the
transmssion Of the mail snd passengers to and from
California and Oregon. She w connect with the steass

This arrangement win be Of great convenience to mer

States and will tend in great measure We hope, to do
away with the Inconvenience and much Of the sickness
among the Passengers especially on the Pacific side,
caused In great measure BY the crowded state Of
the steamers.

would be perhaps . thankless task, especially
now that he has conquered them all. We will
say no more.
1t must be q source Of gratifying reflection
to him to contrast the HERALD of 1885 with
the HERALD of to-day. He must derive addi-
tional pleasure from the conviction, that during
the whole of the long period of its existence, it
has never swerved from the principles on which
it was originally established and that the plat
August 1885, might be appropriately prefxed
to the editorial columns of the paper to-day
These eighteen years have witnessed many and
startling changes. OF the rivals with whom
Mr.. Bennett was brought into immediate COM
petition at the outset of his career, but few sur
vive to-day. Some have fingered far beyond the
space allotted them by nature. Others thrive:
but We shall find few indeed whose consistency
could bear the test of retrospective re-
view for the last eighteen years. The HERALD
alone has never changed. save in one respect.
Every year has witnessed its circulation
and its influence expand. its expenses increase,
and the energy Of its proprietor receive
fresh stimulus. None Of our readers who
recollect the stirring times when the Oregon
question was mooted. or the more recent
excitement in reference to the Mexican war,
have forgotten the unparalleled exertions made
by Mr.. Bennett. and the lavish expense he in
cured to lay the news before the public at an
earlier period than the other journals of the
city could possibly procure it. Many thousand
dollars has he expended to obtain intelligence
which was anxiously expected by mercantile
community and the citizens at large.
These matters now belong to the domain of
the past. The present that is with us, does not
blush at the contrast and the future. yet dis
tant, holds out bright promise Of still better
things to come. Onward!

The UNIVERSAL PEACE-POIICY IN NAME
The little State of Maine is not satisfied with
the renown she has won in having initiated the
law for the prevention Of the spirit traffic. but
now feels ambitious to signalize herself by run
ming tilt against the war making system
throughout the world. In the House Of Repre-
sentatives, holding its session in Augusta, Mr.
Morse, of Bath presented, a few days since
from the Committee on Peace, resolutions in
favor Of stipulated arbitration, as substitute
for war. The following are the resolutions
which were to be brought up for consideration
few days subsequently =
Resolved, That wars Of aggression and conquest,
and appeals to arms by civilized nations for the set
tement Of national disputes are, OF all the remaining
practices of early and barbarous ages, among the
most inhuman and unchristian-that they are bar
rers to the intellectual, social, and moral deyelope
ment Of the human race, and at war with mans true
mission and high destiny; and that duty to our inst
buttons, our country and age, requires that every
suitable effort be made by our people, and by our
State and National governments to advance SO great
and desirable an end as universal peace between the
nations Of the earth.
Resolved, That to give effect, so far as we, the
Senate and House of Representatives of the State Of
Maine, are able, to the principles, recommendations,
and conclusions Of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
made to the Senate of the United States this sub
ject, the.Senators and Representatives in Congress
from this State be and hereby requested to use
all proper and appropriate influence to secure, in
treaties hereafter to be made with other nations,
provision for the settlement, by arbitration, of such
national controversies as cannot be anlicaby ad-
justed by the parties to such treaties.
We congratulate the people of the State Of
Maine, that their Representatives. instead of
busyng themselves in interference with domes-
tic affairs, have resolved to extend their action
SO as to embrace all humanity. There is inf
nitely less danger in the operation than when
they take it into their sapient heads to regulate
the appetites of their constituency by sumptu-
airy laws. Therefore. let them be encouraged
in their quixotism. 1t will do no HARM and
may effect some good. by keeping them from the
commission of other follies.

one mercantile firm TO another; but he, notwith-
standing. persevered in the attempt, until the
firm refusal of Captain Sterling obliged him to
relinquish his nefarious design.
Words on such an event as this are useless
it is acts that the country requires. We should
be wasting time ON worthless theme were We
to devote any portion Of our space to structures
on the policy which the government of Spain is
pursuing in the last of her American posses
sons. All that misgovernment and reckless
ness Unsuitable rapacity and stolid despotism
can effect, in the way of exasperating the people
and provoking foreign nations, has been done
and no inconsiderable share Of the punishment
thus earned has already fallen on the island. Do
mestc ruin stares them in the face But, with
the usual blindness Of the doomed the Spanish
authorities are endeavoring daily to dam the
torrent which is about to overwhelm them with
fresh instances of high-handed aggression and
lawless outrage. Instead of atoning for past
offences by an attempt to conciliate or reform,
each danger they escape is the signal for new
provocations and still greater enormities.
1t must be admitted that we are in some meas
the Captain-General to board our vessels and
maltreat our citizens He has learnt, or fancied
he has learnt, what value to set on the outburst
of indignation with which the announcement of
an insult to the American flag is received in
this country. Past experience has taught him
that the government of the United States does
not always feel bound to uphold our national
honor or protect our national rights.
We rejoice that an opportunity is now afforded
for the President to correct this plausible i'm
preston. A single lesson, promptly and ener-
gctically administered, would probably put an
end at once to the series of outrages which have
stained our columns during the last twelve
months. 1t would vindicate the country from
an unjust imputation Of pusillanimity. and-a
consideration Of some weight-would convince
the most inveterate opponents of Gen. Pierce
that the principles embodied in his inaugural
address are really to be the basis of his pract-
cal policy. We look forward confidently to
thorough inquiry into the case of the Man
chester.

BURGLARY AND ROBBERY AT ALBANY--OvER
Two THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF SILKS AND
OTHER GOODS SToLEN.-Sometime on Wednesday
night last, the store OF Aug Waterman, No. SO State
street, was entered by burglars, and more than
$1,000 worth of goods, mainly silks, stolen. The
rascals took the papers off Of about two hundred
pieces of silks, leaving in the store but single pack
age; and even this they had tied up carefully and in
businesslike manner, and had left, together with
some costly Grape s!iawls, end other articles which
they had 10 doubt intended to carry Off Probably
they were frightened away before they had finished
their work OF plumber. The articles missed by Mr..
Waterman are silks, shaw!s and vest patterns. His
memorandum OF losses yesterday afternoon, not in
GLIDING the two latter articles, reached s2l35 and
some cents. The store was entered from the rear.
There is single window, secured by wooden shut
ter and an iron crosshar large piece Of this shut
ter was bored out in precisely the right spot to get at
the bar, the bar then removed, and the window
raised. How tic robbers got into the yard it il diff
cult to ascertain It il evident however, that they
were thoroughly posted up with regard no. only to
the locality, but to the exact whereabouts Of the
most costly goods in the store.-Atbany Register,
