THE Cusrox HorsE REFORM AGAIN-The at
tention OF more than one clsss has been walked
up by the movement now on FOO, to r,aform the
Custom House. To-day we publish letter from
"a Cartmau," containing some interesting state
meDts relative 10 the interests OF bis clsss as NJ
fectsd by the new rule proposed by Mr.. Schel
ard adopted by the importers He complains
that the cartmen employed oy the merchants will
be excluded henceforth from their share 10 the
TO the merchants warehouses, all of which will
be sbeoi bed by three or four cartmen regularly
attached to the delivery department Of the Cue
tom House. OF course II Is quite proper that all
agen,s-cartmen as well as others--eptrus,ed
with responsible duties by the Custom House
should he under its control. But Il II obvious
that three or four cartmen will be entirely insuf-
ficiopt for the purpose referred to, 80 tina, the
pat onagc 10 this line must be extended. HoS-
ever, as 10 reform eau be carried out effectualy
without interfering with the interests OF some
class we may BE- satisfied If this one only curtails
or incommodes the business OF the carriers IL IL
an evil which will remedy itself What is 10 pre-
chants from entering into the service of the pub
tic department. The service IL the same; the
change Of employers cannot make much differ
eIce Meantime, the new regulation Is working
bfskly and successfully quite to the satisfaction
Of the merchants The COMMITTEES of Importers
continue to meet every day, and are progressing
steadily with their inquiries aduty in which they
are assisted most cordially by the Collector.
We would direct Mr.. Scbells attention 10 the
statements contained in the letter above alluded
TO relative 10 the negligence Of the carriers now
employed to transfer goods A little reform In
that department would be very timely. II lie
suggested by another correspondent that persons
guaees fuently shouid be employed in the public
stores TO facilitate business with the large aum-
Der Of merchants Of foreign birth In the city.
Ineligible suggestions upon every topic con-
ccrning the subject of the proposed reform are
valuable at the present time, and may be Of
much assistance to the Collector. We are glad
70 perceive that our remarks have been the means
Of drawing cut 70 many.
IL IL remarkable that both this question and
the csse Of Mrs Cunningham have brought out
20 large a number Of communications and sug-
gestions from different classes Of people, all
pertinent TO the questions at issue, and often
highly valuable, as throwing new light on them,
and striking cut new paths for the Investigators.
II shows the activity of the public mind on every
subject Of vital moment and il one of the best
illustrations Of the usefulness Of free and In
telligtrt press
