The officials in the customs department
in this district seem likely 10 get into hot
water, unless they exercise more precau-
ton than OF late. Tie true duties OF their
position are to prevent smuggling by having
the smugSlers seized anu arrested anu
thus prevent the L. 5. revenue department
from being defrauded. Instead OF tAis, Ii
is alleged, they allow the smuggiers to go
free. provided they can only seize the SNUG
g!ed goods and contiscate them to their
own benefit. We learn that Judge Smalley
of the L. S. district court. has issued strin-
gent orders to the marshal aud his depu'
ties TO take note of such transactions. and,
if repeated, the offending officers will be
brought up before the district court for ex.

40 necessity for us to forfeit our W self

1866. BRIEF SUMMARY. The editor
of the London 1etegraph, in his leading
article, rapidly reviews the most impor.
tant happenings of the world, during
the past year, thus: "At home, the old
est and most trusted of English polite
ians has expired and u new Parlia-
ment has been chosen by the people to
carry on the business of State. Across
the Atlantic, the greatest civil war OF
modern times has been brought to q
close and, if its termination was sigma
lized by the most atrocious assassination
recorded in history, the memory of an
individuals crime has almost been eff
faced by the unparalleled splendor of q
| whole nations clemency. Our survey
shows us France still swayed by the in
domitable will and fertile brain of one
man; Italy advancing, by slow, but GER
tain, steps, toward her right position
among the nations of the earth; Austria
seeking a reconciliation with the most
important constituents of her strangely
mingled empire; Germany still troubled
and perturbed by the restless ambition
of a military power; Denmark bearing a
sore misfortune with a noble dignity;
Belgium deprived of its venerable king,
but faithful to its liberal institutions;
and Russia herself at length marching
onward in the path of progress. On ev.
cry side the retrospect is full OF interest
and instruction" tUt4 Itsa'

declares that it is his conviction that
that city now has but one loyal man in

gives a most discouraging view of the
growth of loyal sentiment. All opinions
of that kind are growing smaller by
degrees and beautifully less" The in

BsyH FAMILY DYE COLoRs.-Among
the most popular and useful articles OF the day are the
FAMILY DYE CoIoRs manufactured by the well known
practical chemists, Howe 4 Stevens. 30 very superior
are these dyes, so easily used, and withal afforded at so
low a price, that they are literally getting into every.
body's hands, just as the praises Of their merits are on
everybody's lips, Once tried, they become indispensable.
In many parts of the country they have displaced all
other substances and methods of dyeing. We, without
any hesitation whatever, pronounce them the best dyes
ever manufactured, while at tho same time they are the
cheapest in price. The ladies are particularly delighted
with them.

The Boston Commercial, which has
assumed a new name in the hope of rid
ding itself of family associations reasons
this way
England although not more than half
or twO-thirds of the Irish population are
disafIected towards her government, has
had an immense amount CT trouble with
the Irish, and yet the ability of England
to dominate over Ireland, taking into
consideration the nature and extent of
the country, and the number and char
acter of the population, is a hundred
fold greater than is our ability to hold
the South as a subjugated country and
people. We may rely upon it that If one
half of what Gen. Shurtz, Mr.. Baldwin,
and their associates, tell us, is true, we
shall have new and fierce revolutionary
outbreaks all over the country, as soon
as they have had a breathing spell, and
time to recuperate their resources.
