through with-a hearing before the commits
sioner, goods confscated, perhaps bail, and
the affair, as before, ''hushed up."
1t is no secret that the New York custom
house has for years been the theatre of stupen-
dous frauds and the hot-bed OF the basest Off
cial peculations. Smuggling, If on large
scale and judiclonsly managed, is of immense
pecuniary advantage to the custom officer
when the law allows him one-fourth of all seiz-
ures as his lawful right. It is to his interest to
encourage the crime, and the individual abro-
CATION Of customs duties apd regulations is
safely and extensively practiced under the ac-
tual protection of the governments own en-
make show of doing something brilliant, and
q portion Of large lot of goods is sagaciolsly
seized, and, with convincing zealousness, i'm
mediately sold that the officers may get their
share of the proceeds. It is well understood
among those most concerned that there is to
be no arrest, no disagreeable questions, and no
real danger further than the possible loss Of
few goods, which Is not to be considered, for
upon one case of valuable goods, such as silks,
velvet and laces, the successful operator would
realize enough to cover the loss OF half dozen
seizures of the kind of goods he expects to
have seized.
Customhouse flnctionaries of the lower
grade are paid and kept In the interest of the
steamship companies and shipping merchants,
SO CIlaC no interference DCyOuu Iuc OCCaelOudl
seizure Of an honest outsiders merchandise, or
the baggage OF some poor, luckless emigrant is
to be feared; and this dsgraceful state Of things
has been quietly going on for years, and, nm
til recently, no one has dared to SO much as
lay finger upon the canker, or lift above it
the weight of a strong and infeXible authority.
4 few arrests have been made lately which
gave the city brief glimpse of what is daily
going on in and about the customhouse, and
It is to be earnestly hoped that the investiga-
tion so vigorously begun will not flag or be de-
tered from its purpose until this great revenue
OF the nation be thoroughly orerhauled, and
from root to branch purged of all impurities.
1t is replete with dishonesty from surface to
centre, and let nothing oppose a clear, open
ventilation of the whole concern; and though
the facts elected may implcate steamship mo-
nopoists, merchants, and shippers, and i'm
porters OF every class, officials OF every grade,
and politicians of every dye, let the truth be
known, and whosoever it accounts guilty pun
ished as the law directs.
It has been demonstrated by the most unde-
niable evidence that the inspectors OF this port
have oil along been in the pay OF the steamship
compapies, and actually salaried at rate
nearly equal to what the government pays the
same officers. The strict examination Of O
dozen or more OF these faithful Inspectors, last
week, disclosed this startling fact.

The Advertiser says: SIT is now thirty-for
or five days since we have had rain ir this
section. And if we are not mistaken, pretty
much the same thing may be said of our en-
tire district. a drought like this, so early in
the season, is sometimes unprecedented among
US. And during most Of this time the nights
and mornings have been decidedly cool, often
cold In fact. while high winds have. prevailed
steadily. Cotton and corn are having deei-

gloomy and despondent Vegetable gardens

CINCINNATI, May 20.
The General Synod OF the Reformed Presbyte-
rIan Church of North America yesterday elect
ed Rev. DR.. Mcleod, Of New York, moderator;
Rev. DR.. Steele. Of ofPhilsdelphia, secretary; Rev.
Woodside, Of Brooklyn, assistant secretary.
On taking The chair Dr.. Mcleod made a short
address, abiding to his connection with the
Synod as stated clerk for thirty-hve years.
He looked upon this as a crisis in the history Of
the Reformed Presbyterian Church, and hoped
the Synod would not be governed by parti-
san spirit in its deliberations.
In the reports of presbyteries, all those that
referred to the subject of union with the
Emitted Presbyterian Church favored it except
Eastern and Philadelphia presbyteries, which
were opposed to union. Ohio and Chicago
presbyteries did not refer to the subject.

SMUGGLING IN NEW FORK.
How They do it at the Customhouse-
Nice Revelations.

Anew York correspondent of the Washing
ton Chronicle writes:
Customhouse smuggling has become so COM
pletely systematized and 80 largely entered
into BY men OF obviously good standing in so
ciety, that it is looked upon almost in leglti-
mate light, and its suppression by the authori-
ties laughed at. The law, either from being
too weak, or from lack Of being vigorously en-
forced, is not needed, and to great extent is
considered unworthy Of serious notice, not
only by the smugglers, but the officials them
selves, many Of whom aid In Its violation;
while others, too feeble for successful opposi-
ton or too Indifferent, remain conveniently
blind and lei it pass as misdemeanor beyond
their correction. Thus extensive. smuggling is
facilitated by the very men and measures in
tended to prevent it, and all goes so merry and
safely that there really appears but little risk
of apprehension.
The law says smuggling is crime, pun
ishabe by fine and Imprisonment, the con-
tiscaton OF the goods, DC; one-fourth of the
proceeds OF the sale of seized goods to go 10
the informer, one-fourth to the officers OF the
customhouse, and the other half to the govern
ment. By means OF this injurious system 10
evade paying the established duties on import
ed merchandise itisreduced TO fine art, and is
one of the most gigantic schemes for safe plun-
dering ever inaug'lrated. Rewarding by
way that could possibly be devised for corrupt
inc an officer of trust in oil business and in any
capacity. 1t is sure to prove ruinous in the
end, and more mischief is brought about
through this common medium than any other.
1t is a mistake to suppose that the "moety"
incentive acts as sort OF lucrative stimu-
liant toward inducing an officer TO do
his duty. It's effect is quite the reverse,
and perqusites Of the kind, in addition
| to pay, are almost certain 10 deterioratc the
honesty of the best Of us. Once given to
dubious tamperng with that which conscience
warns is wrong and dishonest. human nature
seldom proves destructive sufficiently to re-
sist the prurient desire to appropriate what Is
easy of access with but very small detriment
to personal selfesteem or public censure. AT
the worst exposure has very slight terrors,
and will pass away with only a brief blur on
credit, character, and confidence. Equity will
balancak her demoralized scales on his side.
Detorte9 bail will be readily procured from
some mysterious quarter, the. newspapers will
publish q few lively paragraphs on the subject
and that is the last we ever hear OF the Snug
gler, his detection, and trial, unless he should

THE PRACTICAL VALUE OF THE suEz CANAL.
M. De Lesseps and Ismail Pasha have made
the Suez Canal pay them in present honors,
but 10 make it yield profit as q commercial
venture is matter of longer and harder work.
1t is a great enterprise, and it required an
enormous investment, on which the interest
alone will amount to something near five mil
lions of our money. This, together with the
cost Of keeping the canal in repair, must be
paid out of the earnings Of the company. But
the business Of the past quarter shows an annu-
81 income Of less than one million, or enough 10
pay about one-ffth OF the interest on the money
borrowed. Besides this, the canal will have
to be dug out each year. Steamers grounding on
the banks cut portions Of the slope of into
the canal, and the wind comes so laden with
sand as to be unbearabe TO exposed passen.
gers and to steadily drift up the channel. The
annual deposits of sand are enormous, and the
cost OF dredging it again must be proportional
A lew inches in the bottom Of the canal, caused
by high wind in one day, could be removed
only at a cost of thousands Of dollars. While
this is the case, it is evident that the contin-
ued success of the Suez Canal, and even its
continued operation, depend upon an imme
date increase of business, and win perhaps
render necessary an increase Of the tolls now
demanded Of vessels and passengers.
