LINCOLN AND THE CUsroM HOUSE. time
ago President Lincoln decided to make
change in the Custom House. and appoint Post
master Wakemsn as Collector and Simeon
Draper as Surveyor. Then few small potato
politicians objected, and Lincoln hesitated,
paused, and is now undecided how to act. This
little incident gives us an admirable idea Of
the irmness and dignity Of the chief executive.
Mr. Wakeman would make an excellent Col
lector-much better than the Chevalier Barney,
whose brains have been turned by foreign
title. AS for Simeon Draper, he is busy,
talkative, energetic sort Of q person, who shows
to great advantage at political meeting, and
has earned the salary Of the Surveyor by his
services to this administration. We presume
that Lincoln will make these appointments as
soon as few small potato people badger him,
upon the other side. In the mean time Thur.
low Weed carries the whole matter in his coat
tail pocket and would be very glad to be rid
of it satisfactorily.

nxsn Psisa sf Hew York from shs Draft
Our Quosa FILLED.

Il viii be seen bya telegrsphic despatch,
which We publish in another column, that this
| city has been credited with eighteen thousand
four hundred and fQrty-eight men on account
OF naval enlistments between the years 1861
aud 1864, and Brooklyn with ak thousand and
forty six, while the balance OF the total OF
twenty-seven thousand seven hundred and
forty six, which New York raised during that
time, has been allowed to other portions Of the
State. Properly the number credited to Brook
lyn ought to belong to the city Of New York;
but this is matter of little consequence, seeing
! that we are so well situated as it is. To the
| number with which we are credited eleven
| hundred Las to be added for the excess in
our favor over the last quota and there is
reason to believe that more than the bal
ance against US, after making the above
deductions, has been raised here by subsequent
naval enlistments and volunteering. We may,
therefore, we are glad to say, congratulate the
community on freedom from all liability to the
coming draft This we have we'll earned, for
Of the two hundred and fifty recruits that are
procured in this city daily nearly two-thirds
are lost to us by their removal to other States.
The number with which we are credited, es-
| timated at the former exemption price of only
| three hundred dollars per man. would amount
to no less sum than five million five hundred
and thirty-four thousand four hundred doll lars,
| which may be regarded as so much saved to
the county treasury. This is, however, a small
| consideration compared with the risk of a
repetition of the riots Of last year, with their
fearful consequences
For this happy result we are indebted chiefly
to the untiring energy and indefatgable zeal of
Supervisor Orison Blunt, who has worked night
and day in order to secure justice for the city.
1t is source of further qualification to US to
learn that, notwithstanding our having fur
nished all that is at present required of US, it
is the intention of the Volunteering Committee
to proceed energetically in the work Of recruit
ing, so as to provide surplus against the con-
tingency of another call.

SANITARY FAIns-THErR MONEY AND THEIR
MoRArs.--We had supposed that all these
concerns had closed up shop, that the
managers had pocketed all the stesltngs, and
that we should hear no mere Of them But
it seems we were mistaken. We have re-
ceived circular from a committee Of the West
ern Illinois Sanitary Fair, dated at Quincy,
Illinois, asking donations from ~ TO some
department or other IN the fair and promising
that this will be the last demand OF the kind
upon us from the same quarter for some time
to come. We have had appeals enough on
behalf Of these Sanitary fairs We have given
enough and shall give no more. Five or six
millions Of dollars have been collected at
these Sanitary fairs throughout the country
and at least one third Of the receipts have
been stolen by managers, or entirely misap-
propriated. Between one and two millions
we're realized .. the Sanitary Fair 10 New York

THE STRIKE OF THE THEATRICAL MANAaERs.-
Strikes are infectious to judge from the fact that
for months past We have undergone series of
them. All classes have INDUCED in strikes,
and now our theatrical managers have met
and determined to increase the prices of admis-
sion to their several places Of amusement. 1t
remains to be seen how the public-the patient,
but not spiritless pubic-will take the matter.
The probabilities are that no cessation Of
patronage will be felt by the theatres II,
with increase Of price, they give increase Of
attraction. The public is well aware that all
the necessaries of life have gone up in price,
and will naturally expect to find amusements
taking the same tendency; but with increase
Of cost reflection will come and ere the dis
bursement be made the inducement will have
to be more than ever strong. With in
crease Of price we shall become more ex.
acting, and will not put up with scant
returns FOR our outlay. We shall expect
our theatres to be literally conducted, and
shall withdraw our patronage from those
which show any lack Of enterprise in pro
curing the best talent wherewith to give with
necessary ecla such entertainments as will
warrant increase OF price. shabby mise en-
scene, poor acting and all such drawbacks
must no longer characterize any Of our metro
politan establishments, else they will be neg
lected by the public, and, as consequence
be overtaken by that ruin which many have
hitherto richly merited. Greenbacks, We
know, have deprecated, and the very thought
tends to carlessness in their outlay; but still
our managers must not expect to take advan-
tage Of this fact, unless they are fully deter
mined to give AZ well as take. We conceive 1t
our duty to the public to offer this admoni.
ton to our managers on strike and would
note, en- passant that at the present prices
three or four of our theatres are doing spleu
did business.

THE FOREIGN ENLISTMENT ACT N ENGLAND
case has recently been tried at Liverpool in
which the defendants were accused of having
obtained enlistments in the rebel service for
the pirate Georgia. in violation Of the provi-
sions Of the Foreign Enlistment act. 1t is stated
in the English papers that the facts in the case
were so clear that there could be no doubt
about them; but bubble was raised, aud it
Is questionable whether the offence will be
proved within the meaning OF the act. The
doubt appears to be as to whether the act could
be construed TO extend TO enlistments actually
made on the high seas al well as to those
effected in the British ports. Thus it appears,
while great hue and cry is made in British
journals and among rebel sympathzers in
Great Britain about the American plan OF
facilitating immigration, and a tedious suit and
vexatious delays follow from the enlistment Of
few sailors for the United States service as
in the case Of the Kearsarge- all on the
plea Of violation of the Enlistment act-a
hole is found in the law big enough to drive .
rebel privateer through with but little diff
Guilty. This is fair sample of British justice
and fair play, and is fully on par with the
boasted neutrality Of the British government
in regard to the contest now waging in this
country A day of retribution will surely
come

We ses nsn sow living h grand houses,

oil sorts Of exuavagant displays, who. before
their connection with these Sanitary fairs, were
obscure people, living in obscurer places, and
apparently not pecuniarily able TO riss above
the level Of the humblest in society. Ia one
case . new opera was produced under the
auspices Of a golden flood poured from side
sluieeway in our Metropolitan Sanitary Fair.
All these fairs have proved to be grand
schemes Of robbery from beginning to end, and
are Of piece with the peculations recently eX-
posed in the case of the late Surgeon General
Hammond, which is one OF the most atrocious
