WASHINGTON, July 10, 1889
II is rather cool and refreshing in this bot
weather To h. ar the boosts Of organs which sub
si.t Cd public patronage, over pretended economy
of S95, coo IN the Nex-York Custom House, after
the Administration had spent more th.n SSi ,OOO,-
coo 10 a single year, and in time Of profound
peace Cbe dismissed office-holders b-ve stood in
each Others way ever since Mr.. Cobb came into
office, aid have performed DO other duty but draw
their pa, and shout at Ward meetings. And they
would have been allowed to continue 10 this course
Of pr, fitsble ldeness. but for the developments
of the Opposition 1t the last session, and The de-
pleied condition of the Treasury, owing to the
extravaganza and wsnton waste of those charged
wrh lis msi ag,ment Evrn BOW, the report made
BY Mr.. Gufhrre, the special agent, has not been
carried out, though approved at the Department.
II. recommended that 100 supernumrrarles should
BE- dismissed while IN point ut fact at least % OF
that number are still retained in the Custom House,
sid peD.i,nsd upon the Treasury though known to
BIZ worthless Why is tbs distinction Drawn and
if there was s. real purpose of reform, why has i
net been executed III good faith
The expenses Of cole citing tne revenue have run
up enormously 10 the last six years, kerpDg pace
Nrh the increased expeditures of the Corporation
Of Ne York, and pretty much in the same way
and by the same means. When the Tay lor Fill
mole Administration went out, they left nearly
Sl,O0t coo Of unexpeDded surplus fr"m toe SAVINGS
OF cole citing the revenue, when only $500 900
we're appropriated annually for that purpos,. The
Pierce and Buchanan Administrations have in-
creased The cast to 50 100000 ayear, and when our
fl, nd made an effort last Winter t. reduce this item
the Democratic l. aders mnunet Their clans, and
by party vote in The House, prevented any re-
hpncbmeDt. They knew very we'll that serloIs
abuses bad been committed and encouraged but
ss they were defended for "the c,use,' 1t was
bought best t. copiipue them. Mr.. Letcher, of
The Committee ot Ways and Means, represented
Mr.. Cobb on that occasion, and succeeded, through
the iLfueuce of tie political position, IN defeating
the movements Of the Opposition.
The Presidents paper Wa. very curt this morn
ing, III expressing the hope that the extract from
The Dispatch to our Minister at Berlin, which IT
published Yesterday IN regard to the rights of nat
uraztd citizens abroad, would satisfy the crpefs
who appeared TO del ght in every opportunity OF
finding fsult with the Administration. This hit
Was eyide 'y aimed at Tammauy Hall which had
assumed IL lecture the Secretary OF STATE, aud al
Other ID. mocranc orgaus woich did not see 81 to
subscribe to theory which utterly hlsitied
every previous profession OF taelr lVes.
The conc sslon thus reluc ,aDtantly ex'orted from
the Administration, IS, after all, making but an
sttenpt to coverup its former tracks by unmeaniog
dsguses. The country has yet to see practical
illustration of whatever pol cy may be intended, II
there really be any purpose To abandon the positions
heb were assn. ed IN the FIRST and second letters
Aner that, better opinion can be formed
of the sincerity of the last manifesto. The
Gaze in point is prudenty enough made against
the little state of Hanover, upon the same
principle that war was declared against Paraguay
aid Utah, for the joint object of asserting the
prowess of tee Administration aud at filling the
poci ets Of favOrIte contractors. When any FISK
Of trouble wns to be incurred with France,
MIR. lie Clerc was advised to stay at home,
and So was one of the late constituents OF Mr..
Groesbeck Of Cincinnati VIII, came here 10 person,
and was recommended to 90 home if he dad not
wi to risk the coDscIp,ion. The Kiog of Hano-
YER and Louis Napoleon are two very differed,
persons. and our rulers have no idea yet Of getting
within the range Of the lattefs long guos So they
foIbid oil Freedmen from foreign travel, EXCEPT
at sbeir own peril. When the native OF some little
Duchy in involved a dispstch can be issued long
enough and broad enough to cover it's whole terrific
~, of.stbics sound and fury but signfyiog nothing.
I he truth is, that both Brigham Young and Lopez
have come to the conclusion that We are no such
great shakes, sf'er all our Dragging. The latter
wss, perhaps, little alarmed, wneu he heard that
our principal naval hero, lsaic Toucey had ordered
an extra supply of coal, purchase of Mrs Touceys
LepDew in PolIadelp hia, but Brigham Young al
WAYS said his 9ss contractors war, and there
was no danger to he apprebended. Perhaps Hano-
YER may come to the same conclusion, II things
should take seemingly beieeren. turn.
