The PREVENTION OF SMUGGLING. "A dis
patch to the Boston Advertiser says that the
Secretary of the Treasury has nearly completed
his reorganization of that branch of the SER
vice which pertains to the pretention of SNUG
Cling He has divided the whole country into
seventeen districts. Each district has one
chief-agent, with two, three, or four assistants,
as is required, the chief being called custom
agent These officials take the place of what
were formerly called special treasury agents
The paragraph going the rounds of the papers
to the effect that the Secretary has created a
new office without the authority of law and
has saddled upon the country an unwarranted
expense of several thousands of dollars annu-
ally, is entirely incorrect. Heretofore these
agents had rowing commissions, all reported
directly to the Treasury Department, and did
what they pleased. Secretary Boutwell, has
merely systematized the business, assigned
the agents to districts, made subordinates re-
sponsible to the chiefs, and reduced the force
at least one-third. as.na.Ia. III n.
