CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION IN THE CUsrON
HoUsE.-Several of the newspapers have stated
that the investigation into the affairs of the
New York Custom House has been suppressed
and will not be made public. This, we ara
informed, is an error. 1t is not only not sup
pressed, but will be before the public in few
days, and probably result in the removal of .
number of officials now holding positions in
the Custom House. This same committee, in
their investigations last fall and winter, caused
Cabinet. The same power that stood behind
them then is now pushing the matter forward
in regard to the Custom House, as a prelimi-
nary movement to further changes in the Cabi-
net, with determination to purify the admin
istraton in all its branches.
The New York herald., 1862-04-29

led to contribute in proportion to his means and
the stake he possesses in the community.
Let bill of this kind be devised speedily.
1t ought not to take a week to complete It,
And let Congress make it law as soon as pos
sible, instead of wasting its time in intermnable
and Improbable disputes about slavery and the
negro. If members would only consider that
they were not sent to Washington to legislate
for black men, but for white, they would be
more likely to take hold of the practical busi-
ness of the nation, instead of wandering till
they are lost in theoretical fogs. Sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof. Let the President,
who is Commander-in-Chef of the army and
navy, and let the generals under his command,
deal with all negro matters in the field upon
the strict principle of military necessity, and
not an inch beyond. When the rebellion is put
down, the slavery question will take care of
itself The Southern people will abolish it in
due time if let alone.
The first Napoleon said that Imagination
ruled the world, and some one has since said
that ideas control the destinies of the human
race. 1t is more philosophical and correct to
say that the facts upon which ideas are found
ed, and which give food to the Imagination, are
the reai rulers of the world. The collision of
the South with the NortherA States in mortal
combat will convince it that the system of free
labor, which has produced such results, must
be preferable to its own, and it will thus re-
ceive new ideas. Its eyes will be opened to
the necessity of a change, and it will submit to
its destiny In this country election contests
are very severe; great excitement is produced,
and often even violence. But when the ques
ton is decided the beaten party submits with
good grace; and so will it be in this war.
The South, having been well beaten, aud hav-
ing nothing to gain by holding out, when there
is no longer any hope of success, will yield,
confessing and deploring the error into which
it had fallen, and which cost it so much
of treasure and of blood. 1t will soon
discover that it will gain more by get
ting rid of the odious name and form of
slavery than by retaining it. The substance
can be secured by State laws compelling the
negroes to work for wages, and by this plan
more labor at less cost will be obtained from
them than by the present system, which has ar
rayed against it the prejudces of the civilized
world.
The slavery question may. therefore, be safe
ly left to time. Congress has no legal or consti-
tutional right to meddle with it, and any action
it may pursue on the subject will only compli-
cate matters and render confusion worse con-
founded. The important business on hand is to
pass comprehensive tax bill-a measure
which is as necessary to sustain our armies in
the field as it is to uphold the financial credit Of
tiOnal disgrace

The NEW SLAVE TRADE TREATY-SEEDs OF
FUTURE WARS WITH ENGLAND.-We publish
this morning the text of the treaty just
concluded between the United States of Ame-
rica and her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain
and Ireland ''for the suppression of the slave
trade carried on upon the coast of Africa"
The whole document is of high importancs; for
it contains the germ of many future collision
between this government and the British ma
ton. The two contracting parties agree that
the ships of their respective naves-which shall
be provided with special instructions for that
purpose-shall have power to visit such mer-
chant vessels of the two nations as may be rea-
sonably suspected of being engaged in this
nefarious traffic. The other instructions of the
treaty are minute and categorical; but, in the
simple fact that the right of search is mutually
given to the ships-of-war of each Of these two
nations, we see serious difficulties and compli-
cations that must arise between this country
and Great Britain. Although there may be q
good deal of glorifcation on both sides, this
mutual agreement will assursdly be the cause
Of naval war with England at some time or
another. We feel confident that the right thug
conceded to British naval officers will not al
ways be exercised in proper manner, bat in
mapy cases will be exceeded and outraged. IL

JOHN BULLS AMERICAN FLUNKEY AGAN.-The
Times of yesterday is silly enough to charge
that the HERALD, Express and Journal Of Com
nerce are guilty of "latent treason;" the He
RAID because it warned the War Department
Of the designs of the enemy, and the Express
and Journal of Commerce because they disagree
with the Times in opinion. John Bulls Ame
rican funksy does as poorly at logic as at lob
bying, and if he can show no other evidences
of "latent treason" than these he had better
drop the subject and devote himself more ASST
duous]y than ever to abusing this country and
praising England That great speech Of his at
Albany, upon the policy of England during
this war, developed his true vocation: and since
RUSSELL John Bulls Irish funkey, has retired
from the field there is great chance for Ray
mond, John Bulls American funkey. At
Albany Flunkey Raymond disorganized the lob
by, and failed in every one Of his legislative
schemes, including the Broadway Railroad bill
He was dismissed with a grudging vote Of
thanks from the Assembly, the yeas and nays
being called upon the vote for the FIRST time in
the history of that body. Ashamed to show
his face in New York so soon after this terrible
Albany Jiasco, Flunkey Raymond, in company
with several Of his stock jobbing partners, has
gone on TO Washington to dabble in Jobbery
there Ia the Tribune Association. Flunkey
Raymond is a fair specimen, not Of "latent, "
bat of fully developed treason; and, as he
strongly aspires to fill Flunkey Russell's place,

psct to hear ''some y,ry good news from him
