The New York Tribune says of the Gus

1He NC" 1ork Ir1Onne says OF the Gus
tOmhOuse frauds in that city:
The investigation into the alleged frauds
in the general order stores of the Custom
house still continues, but it is likely that
the CustOmhOuse officers who are investi-
eating the matter will report to-day. The
origin Of the examination, as detailed by
twOdeputy, collectors of the Customhouse,
is as follows: Six cases of merchandise
that should have been in the stores of Rod
Dcy, j. Mason & Co. of Nos. SIG, 5lS, $40
Washington street, were found in Boston
with duty unpaid, which led to the
seizure Of the warehouses and an
examination thereof. The deputy col
lctors state that the defense
put forward by Mr.. Mason was that there
were cases in his store marked ''P" in a dia-
mond and p, and in the removal of a portion
of the goods the marks were COMPOUNDED
and the wrong cases taken. Messrs Mason
q Co. were the proprietors of the stores at
No. Bridge and No. Pearl streets, until a
recent date, judging from the fact that a
fresh coat of white paint has been placed
over the black letters forming their names
over the doorway, but not SO heavily as to
obscure them. 1t is rumored that Mr.. Ma
son has disappeared from the city, and an
examination of the house in One hundred
and twenty-eighth street. where Mr.. Mason
is said to have resided, show it deserted. and
apparently SO for some time. The bell ham
die is gone, and bill announces that the
house is for sale.

THE vICE.PREsuDENCY FOR 1872.

Attoruey General Alderman for the
Vacancy Of schuyler Colfax-How the
Motion il Received In Georgia.
From the Atlanta, Georgia, True Georgian. Sep
TENDER 20.
ATTORNEY GENERAL AKERMAN AND THE
vICE-PREsIDENCY.
The Ne,r Era of this city and the Georgia
Republicom of Augusta have almost stimuli
taneously nominated Attorney General
Akerman for the Vice Presidency, subject
TO the action of the Republican National
Convention. We think this step impOlitic,
and, at least, premature. In the first place,
we do not know that it is settled that the
present distinguished occupant Of that office
wishes to retire from it, and we know that
it is the wish of Mr. Alderman himself, as
well as the great body of the Republicans
in the land, that Mr. Colfax should encoun-
ter in the Republican ranks no opposition
for the place which he SO ably and honOrably
fills. In the second place, we think the
Republicans of Georgia can be more fitly
employed at present in bringing our party
in the State into good working order than in
contriving on the subject of national
nominations. In the third place, such a
presentation of Mr.. Akerman's name at this
time may do him injustice among those who
do not know him. He is in the State, and
such publications here may give rise to the
suspicion that they are OF his prompting.
We well know the contrary, and nobody
who understands his character will harbOr
such a suspicion for an instant. Everybody
in Atlanta knows, too, that he has been
here for nearly week FRUSTRATED on bed
OF serious sickness, interdicted by his physi-
clans from political reading or conversation.
We also know that he never had the slight
notice of any such announcements until he
was informed of them after their publca-
ton, but people abroad do not know all
these facts, and their differences from such
publications may be wholly at variance with
the truth. In the fourth place, We are sure
that Mr.. Akerman has no desire to mingle
himself with the personal competitions of
politics, and that his highest ambition is to
serve the country well in his present con
genial sphere of duty.
