Direct Imports TO the Interior.

The large cities of the interior
Cincinnati, Chicago, and st. Louis
whose merchants desire to import
goods directly from foreign countries,
desire that their goods, without break
the Custom Houses in their own
cities. to be there inspected for du-
ties. The Justice of this is so pal
pable that but little sincere argument
is brought against it. And yet the
measure in Congress encounters great
opposition. But it may be presumed
that the demand for a thing which is
so founded in justice, aud the denial
Of which will always be held a wrong.
will be persisted in, and therefore the
opposition had better accept this in
eVitable fact than to excite sectional
enmity by resisting it.
There Is no good reason why this
transit of imported goods to the inte-
riOr Custom Houses, before ~appraise-
ment and payment OF duties, should
not De permitted, and there are many
reasons. why it should be. The oppo-
sition to it arises from a local bust
ness Jealousy on the part of New
York city, and to a lesser degree of
other Atlantic cities. But imports
will not pass New York to these in
terror Custom Houses, unless that
shall be more economical. And, to
say that although it be more econom-
ical it shall not be permitted, is to
say that the country shall be taxed.
and that interior merchants shall be
restricted In their natural rights, in
order that New York city may levy
tribute on imports to swell her com
mercial preponderance.
Safeguards against fraud are entirely
feasible. To all the cities where this
direct trade would be used there are
transportation lines carrying without
break of gauge or bulk, whose bond
would be perfectly safe for the deliy-
cry Of the goods. And there is no
force In the alleged objection as to
expense; for this provision should
be limited to those great cities which
have an import trade, and whose
commercial importance Is such that
this trade will be important as soon
as permitted therefore the officers
created By this system will be such
only as the business demands, and
the same business will cost no more
here than in New York.
And there are very urgent reasons
why a division should be made of the
vast concentration of Custom House
business at New York; a business SO
immense that to enforce integrity in
its management seems to exceed the
capacity that our system of Govern
ment affords. It's dimensions are 50
great. the political influences that
fasten themselves upon it so corrupt

THE Democratic Germans are high
~ incensed at the action Of the late
Convention in neglecting to put q
German on the ticket. They were
unanimously in favor of John b. Stoll
for Auditor, and as he was unexcep-
tionable as to qualifications and had
done the party great service by his
speeches in German and English, it
was confidently expected that he
would be the nominee. The slight IS
felt all the keener from the fact that
the Convention recognized the Irish
in the nomination Of Ryan, twice
beaten in succession. The opinion
has generally been entertained that a
German Democrat could not be driven
the Irish had to be coddled;
but, as the Christian Statesman
expresses ii, it won't do to
ing Of Stoll and the nomination Of
Ryan is construed to be an attempt to
rub it in, and there Is a serious revolt
in the camp. Prominent Democratic
Germans have already announced a
determination to vote Lonlyl for Eddy.
and from Our knowledge OF German
character we are Inclined to think that
nothing else than a change IN the
ticket will prevent them from boiling.
They are slow to anger, but when
their heads are once =" sOt, no amount
of sweet persuasive eloquence can in
duce them to abate-their demands for
what they believe to be right.-Ladj-
annapolis Mirror.
Pshawl Didn't the Convention re-
solve that any attempt to regulate
the moral ideas, appetites or innocent
amusements of the people by legisla-
ton is unwise aud despotic." What
more could the Germans desire? How
ridiculous for them to claim a oandi-
date on the ticket That resolution
is expected to pay them amply for
their votes for all time to come.

METHODIST BOOK CONCERN.


Report of the Sub-Com lulttee of Investigation.
The Methodist of this week publishes some
facts in regard to the Book Concern financial
irregularities, the investigation of which was un-
dertaken by subcommittee of three, which
committee devoted nearly month to the matter
and made report, of which the article in the
Methodist is q summary The report (made
November 4) showed-
a. That under the methods of business adopt
ed by the Concern any amount ofloss was possible
The committee stated that the vouchers of the
Printing Department were not original bills, but
only monthly statements; the original bills were
asked for but could not be found. (2.) That no
one was found whose duty it was to examine
and check invoices of goods purchased by the
Concern, and to certify their correctness before
they were paid by the cashier. This work, if
done at ALL was done by the head of department
purchasing; bills were found enormously cast
up, which had been paid without being eXa-
mined by anybody. (3.) That the wages book
OF the bindery showed that, since the last Gene
raj Conference, more than 5000 had been drawn
by the superintendent, under the head of mis-
cellaneous articles, for which no vouchers were
rendered, and concerning which no satisfactory
information could be obtained. a. That the
the agents any correct idea of the compensation
of the head of the bindery. Careful inquiry,
however, showed the following facts In Janu-
ary, 1854, his salary was raised from $l60O to
$4,000, and on this basis he was settled with in
September last An examination of the wages
book showed that he bad drawn, on three several
occasions, since the last General Conference,
500. Further inquiry showed that this had
been done for years, in pursuance of an agree
ment between him and the agents, by which his
compensation was to be increased 5000 per year,
but was not to appear on the books as part OF
his salary. Still further inquiry showed that
the gold-sweepings had been given him for
several years. The committee estimate the
value of these gold-sweepings for the
last six and half years at $40 800, oil
more than $1,000 per year. 1t was found
that other employees were receiving
perquisites, but the amounts were not ascer
tanned. (5.) That the committee found nothing
in the accounts of the agents to show that the
quantity and quality of goods received CORES
ponded with the quantity and quality of goods
bought. "In fact" say the committee, "thert
is no record to show that goods were received a
ALL" co. That the committee were led by tht
discovery of these defects of method TO inquire
whether there had been actual losses on mer
chandse in the bindery. Their examination
showed that, reckoning from December 1, 1867
there were 400 dozen of skins not accounted
| for, which must have cost the Concern not les
than 900. The chairman of this sub-c0m
mittee, the Rev. James Pike, of New Hampshire
did not sign the report of the Book Committee
| and is understood to dissent from it,

BUTLER'S SWORD SUIT.

The Defendant Ordered TO Show Cause why
an Attachment should not Issuo Against
Him.
In the suit of Miss Rowena Florance against
General Benjamin +. Butler for the recovery of
the value of several jewelled swords and ouan-
tty of silver plate alleged to have been left the
plaintiff by General Twiggs during the war, an
order wae made requiring Butler to appear In
court and submit to an examination before trial
His counsel having informed him that as his
petition to have his cause removed into the
United States Court had been filed In this Court,
he failed to appear. Plaintiffs counsel then
moved for an order requiring Butler to show
cause why an attachment should not issue
against him. Judge Freedman yesterday rem
dered decision in the New York Court, hold
ing that the verifcation to the petition for re-
moval was insufficient. Judge Freedman, in
his opinion, concludes as follows:-
"The affidavit annexed to defendants petition
was sworn to before one Robert b. Caverly. re-
siding at Lowell, in the Commonwealth of Mas
hand and seal as an alleged commissioner for the
State of New York, appointed pursuant to the
laws of 1850 and 1857 of said State hereinbefore
referred to; but there is no certificate of the
Secretary of State subjoined or affixed thereto.
Not being sworn before q person authorized by
Congress, it cannot be read in evidence in any
court of the United States; and not being
authenticated, as prescribed by the laws of
the State of New York, 1t cannot be used
here; for the statute of 1850 provides not only
that il shall not be read in evidence but also
that it shall not be used for any purpose what
ever. In either aspect of the case the defendant
has failed to comply with essential provisions of
law, upon the strict compliance with which the
validity of his entire affidavit depends. He,
therefore, has not complied with the require
ments of the act authorizing a removal of the
case into the Federal Courts, and subsequently
the action has not been removed, but is still
pending in this Court. Under the circumstances
the plaintiff is entitled to order requiring the
defendant to show cause why an attachment
should not issue. The motion is granted"

You are aware that have already had the plea
sure to send you the necessary certificate to
enable the Cambria to sail for the 1851 cup; but,
unfortunately, the committee did not consider
my communication of the Sd of October, 1S6S
as formal six months notice, and this circum-
stance so far as / know, only prevented my
leaving for New York on or about the 1st of
September last to compete for the cup in ques-
tion, as intended. My movements and engage
ments for six months here are uncertain; but If
wish TO contest for the 1851 cup have
no choice but to give the stipulated
notice, and to trust that circumstances may
not prevent my acting thereon. Mr.. Ben
nett has the option of racing the Cambria
from Cowes to New York any time in March, or
from thel It to the 18th of July, 1870-no condi-
ons. On the possibility of Mr.. Bennett elect
iIg to sail in March, give you six months
notice of my intention to race for the cup on
the 10th OF May, 1867, the course to be n trian-
gular course from Staten Island, forty miles out
t. sea and back. The cup having been won at
Cowes under the rules of the Royal Yacht So
cety 1t thereby follows that no centre board
vessel can compete against the Cambria in this
particular race; but in all other respects / must
conform to the stipulations aud rules of the New
York Yacht Club. Rule seven of the Royal
Yacht Society states:-No vessels which are
fitted with machinery for shifting keels or
otherwise shall be permitted to enter for prizes
given by the Royal Yacht Squadron.
