The port of New-York--at which the Government
il collecting about One Hundred Millions per annum
in coin for Duties on Imports-has been without a
Collector for several months. This should not have
been; for--whilc we presume the deputy in charge
has done his best-no deputy can properly, efficiently
perform the duties of that important Office. At
length the President has nominated q gentleman
against whom no word Of dsparegement is uttered.
lie is native and lifelong resident of our State;
he is a successful merchant experienced tinancor
and has proved capable aud faithful in every relation
throughout long and active carcor. True, he
is not much Of Politician but he has ever stood
firmly by the Union cause; and, as ouPmerchants and
bankers very generally asked for his appointment the
President thought best to crafty them. Yet We hear
that bis confirmation is TO be opposed, 50 as to hold
the Collectorshp in suspense for an indefinite period
ahead. We pray considcratc Senator's not to coun
tenance this. Those who may oppose him on the
pretext that he is not "a Radical or not zoaIous
politician, may go further and fare worse; while,
business man. he is known TO be above reproach
We pray the Senate TO end the long aud regretted
nteucgnum by confirming him at once.

The cattle disease, which has appeared in Panama
if not the European Rinderpest itself, seems fatal
enough as an epidemic to justify every caution on the
part of Government. Quite in time, we are iorlu-
nately provided with law against the importation OF
neat cattle and Secretary McCuoch has enoined all
Customs officers not to admit hides until fully satisfied
that they are free from disease 1t is important to ex-
ercise the strctest vigilance especially at our threat
ened Southern ports Owing to official Ignorance and
the want Of vigorous prohibitions the plague was lately
re-introduced in London, where we should think Its
symptoms would have been well known. But the
disease has an nsdou and concealed character against
which can guard our Ignorance only by the exclu'
sion of oil foreign CATTLE and that particularly at the
ports on the Gulf, aud the South Atlantic. We need
not remind the Government that the Rinderpest or
something like it in its worst features prevailed among
the cattle of Florida and Georgia not very many years
ago, or point out the terrible consequences OF cattle
plague in the South at the present time.

The news from Germany seems to point to Of least
postponement of open hostilites. The note from
the Austrian Minister, Karolyi. to Bismark is deci-
dedly pacific, and has obviously embarrassed the
Prussian Government. Unwilling to confess their
desire to provoke war, they have been compelled to
disown any aggressive intentions with regard to Aus
tria. The middle states Of Germany are arming and
most of them have very emphatically come out
against the policy Of Prussia.

Senator Anthony-avays courteous and loreibe-
has endeavOred to correct popular impressions that
Congress has grown lavish in expenditure for Public
Printing He says the total expenditure for this OBJ
ect is not 80 600 900 per annum but 81, 75OOOO and
that this is distributed as follows:
War Department (mainly blanks
Treasury Department. EolVVO
Post Office (oYeT) lo1VOO
Agriculture si5 OOOi Judiciary s25 1900
Interior Department 2oOOO
Congress including paper and binding 100000
Average of the 33l 5ith aud 3jh Congresses $4,000
But Mr.. Anthony himself enables us TO let little
daylight into hs exhibit. He is proposing to cut
down the senates quota of Patent. Office Reports for
1865 from II, 900 to 1000; and he says:
IF this resolution and the amendment shall DO adopted
instructed by the committee to offer another reson
reducing the number Of these documents for and
like proportion Those hare not bren printed oriRS ne 9s9
pressure The Pablo printing Office Ii tho resolution shall
pass amended and tho other resolution which shall oeG
Shall pass II will effect reduction Of 90 per cent or Of ieVOV
| 10 the whole number Of copies"
81 it appears that the printing for Congress has
been kept down S67i O00 simply by the fact that no
more could be done. Congress has tried to spend
good deal more, but failed, simply because Army and
Treasury blanks must be printed or the Government
could not get on; so the carloads and carloads OF
documents for general distribution at the public cost
i
US no good whatever.
Mr.. Anthony says much in behalf Of the present
mode Of doing tho Public Printing, with which we
have no quarrel; but he fails to grapple with the
main question Governments must print documents
Members of Congress need information; and it is
better to supply it at the public cost than do without
it, But printing, binding, mailing, transporting and
distributing public documents among the people is
very different matter. 1t should either be made
general orbone. II is not right to tax A. in order
to provide B. with book which he is abunlantly
able to buy. VIII Mr. A. try to meet this PROPOSE
! tionl
He further says:
When they PIT 10 type It Is comparatively little

and that they may be in places for preseryaton ant
