The CUsToM HOUSE IMBRoGIIo-LATEsr FROM
WAsHINGToN.-Our special despatch from Wash
iDgton, of this mornings issue, touching the
business of the extraordinary gathering Of soft
shells at Washington, presents the mission Of
John Cochrane to the White House in some
what different light from our advices of yester-
day. Marcy, Guthrie, and other old fogies, it
appears, have brought the President to very
happy expedient for the Cancellation of the
hard shells to the proposed nomination of poor
Pierce for the succession by Tammany Hall.
The plan is, as we are informed, to discharge
from the Custom House ninety-seven pugilists,
short boys, slung-shot rowdies, drunkards jail
birds, watch suffers, thimble-riggers and stool
pigeons-all soft shells to put in ninety
seven decent hard ehells in their places. Red
field, they say, stands By his short boys and if
they 60 he goes. Cochrane, it appears, backs
him up. How could he forget the services Of
those rufflans at Syracuse. Marcy, however,
seems to be too strong for them, and there is
danger that ninety.seven desperadoes will be
thrown out Of the Custom House, and turned
loose upon society, without a moments warn
ing.
We call the attention of the Mayor to the
necessity Of providing an additional police
force in view Of this threatened soft shell sortie
from the Custom House. Still, every body must
ADMIT that Marcy is right. If short boys aud
miscellaneous loafers and vagabonds have failed
to reubite the democratic party, let decent and
respectable men be tried. Ninety seven of this
class, we should think, in these hard times,
could be picked up in New York to support the
nomination of Mr.. Pierce in consideration of
the spoils Let Marcy insist upon the election
of the short boys, and let our active May or pre-
pare the police to give them warm reception.
The administration is looking up. 1t is be-
ginning to cast about for honest men. Make
way for the sortie from the Custom House.
