POLITICAL.
THOMAS MURPHY, COLLECTOR.

THOMAS MURPHY, COLLEClOh.
The news received late last night that ex-
Senator Thomas Murphy had been confirmed by the
Senate Collector of this Port had the effect to convert
many hopeful persons from wishing for his rejection to
approving the nomination, and commencing Senators
for their course in confirming the nomination.
Mr. Murphy stated to his friends days ago, his
intention in case Of his confirmation, to bring here Mr.
James Terwger late Secretary Of the Senate either as
Private Secretary Deputy Collector with the view OF
reorganzng the Custom House, and possibly also with
the view of extending the influence Of the CusomHouse
throughout the politics of the State.
Mr. Murphys friends Indignantly deny the story which
was current about the CustOmHouse day or two ago,
that money freely used 10 insure the confirmation OF
the Presidents nomination They say that no money
whatever has been used and that the statement to this
effect foul libel damaging far those who use it
than those against whom the allegation is made.
The publication of Mr. Grinnes letter Of resignation
attracted attention yesterday TO the singular fact that
Gen. Merritt the present Naval Officer has been de jure
Collector Of the Port of NewYOrk since the LIST Of July
BY the terms Of the letter in question: Mr. GrinnelPs
resignation as accepted effect at the close Of the
dsc year, June 80 and consequently on that day the
under such circumstances contained in Section "a Of
the Act March 1882 which provides that In case of
tOrities vested in him shall devolve on his deputy,
any there be at the time OF such disability OF death ios
Collector shall be liable, and in default OF such deputy,
the sad authority and duties snan deHGlye upon
any there be- BY the resignation Of his place.
and the acceptance Of that resignation Mr.. Grinnes
estate certainly ceased to be liable for the conduct Of
any Of his deputies and consequently the duties OF the
position legally devOlve Gen. Merritt This feature
OF the situation has not escaped notice at Washington,
for it urged as reason why Mr. Murphys nomina-
ton should be acted without delay, but nevertheless
Gen Merritt had not been instructed TO take possession
OF the Collectors office. To make assurance doubly
sure the best legal authorities consulted yesterday
the subject and 1t as their undoubted opinion
that Cen Merritt has rghtfully been Collector OF this
Port since the first Of the current month"; fact which
the exCOector seemed TO be unaware Of Mr.. Grinneu
that he did not ask for the Naval Office but ad
ms agreeing 70 accept IL in lieu OF the Collectorsmp
He further asserts that before he consented 10 dace
the present Naval Officer, the President at his Grin
nes) desire promised 10 take care OF Gen. Merritt
The action Of the Senate. however, simplhes matters
considerably.
During last evening, Mr. Murphy was in the constant
receipt Of kilograms at the FfthaYe HOTEL but gave
audience TO only few Of his trBty friends.

DREAMS TO BE MADE UsEFUL.-Ihe London
Lancet has published paper by DR.. Henry Mandsey,
who has long studied the reciprocal action between mind
and body He takes the ground that each disease Ia
tended BY certain psychological as well as physical
effects and that the involuntary action
OF the brain during sleep may furnish new indications
for diagnosis In dream, the background on which the
phantoms move often determined by the state OF the
internal organs the irritation OF which awakens into
some activity that part OF the brain with when the
irritated organ is in specific sympathy. Accordingly
creams When active consciousness is suspended,
Ranio sympathies which before were unperceVed de-
clare themselves TO the mind This accounts for dreams
in which the dreamer supposes himself ATTACKED Win
certain disease which is after developed. His
dream "coming true" is simply an evidence that que
revelation was the result OF that sympatheue ac zion
which at first only affected the brain during sleep This
new and ingenious theory Will DOUBTLESS lead many
physicians make observations in the same dlrecton
and thus establish its truth or fasity
