The Custom House Frauds.

We have received from Mr. H. A. Smythe a
letter in which he says tit seems to me the
HERALD has reflected unnecessarily severely
upon my administration as Collector Of the
Port, OF rather upon Andrew Johnson and his
surroundings, for frauds commenced and
carried into effect before our time Mr..
Blatchford was in the Custom House long
cocted and concurred in by the Revenue and
Treasury Department clerks as well. Much as
] deplore and feel them, do not see where
! was at fault, and President johnson still
less So" Now there is no doubt that Presi-
dent johnson was ignorant and innocent of the
Custom House frauds. How could he know
anything about them? He was too busily
engaged In fighting for the constitution
N stop and inquire into the suh'r~, -,
SO ~, - yry me
issa-s rcgaes .f :as s s.a:.sl x..s5 we're
delighted at his being thus absorbed in eight
ing for the constitution" Losing sight of
everything else in the dust and heat and sound
and fury OF that memorable fight, Andrew
johnson could not see that Thurlow Weed and
the rest were eagerly selling opportunities to
pounce on plumber, in the Custom House, in
the Post Office, and right and left, wherever IL
could be found Nor could Mr. Smythe be
expected to see any more clearly what tricks
the rogues were up to; for was he not also
absorbed in helping Mr.. johnson ito fight for
the constitution?"
But General Grant, az soon as he became
President Of the United States, began at once
to bore for frauds. All know how quickly he
''struck ile, and how inexhaustible the supply
Of awful disclosures seems at present to be.
The foundation for the extensive frauds which
have recently been disclosed was laid long
before Mr. Grinnell became Collector of the
Port, and II would therefore be useless as
well ps unfair to make them pretext for
removing him. On the contrary, he should be
retained expressly in order to continue the
willing and efficient aid which he has lent TO
the inysstig atoms now In progress.

Evacuation Day.

The eighty-sixth anniversary Of the evacua-
ton Of New York by the British troops was
yesterday celebrated with unusual apoifp and
circumstance" From sunrise to shutdown the
display OF flags on public and private build
ings and on the vessels, American and foreign.
the harbor rivalled that of the Fourth Of
July, which is scarcely more worthy Of being
observed as national holiday, although New
York has thus far monopolized the 25th OF
November ~ local festival. The Fire
Department parade, with its spleudidly
FURNISHED engines and wcll-groomed horses,
Its bands of music and the martial air
of its members, who were reviewed by Mayor
Hall at the corner Of Fourteenth street and
Fifth avenue, was particularly fine. The
parade of the militia, under command Of Gen
eral Shaler, was participated in by tho First,
Second, Third and Fourth brigades of Infantry,
the First brigade Of cavalry and six Brooklyn
regiments, and was very imposing. The mill
tary was also reviewed by the Mayor and the
municipal authorities. The bright bracing
weather and tho excellent condition Of the
