CUSTOM HOUSE CARTAGE.

The regulations made by Collector Grinncll for the
government Of the cartng department Of the Custom
House are likely to be received In very amiabie
spirit by both merchants ana carriers. Tie first
nush Of surprise being over, their merits VIII be
seen. The Collector discalms having had any inten-
tion Of sighting or injurng any OF the cartcrs and
insists that all fair warning ana equal oppor-
tunites TO avail themselves OF the opportunity
afforded by the change. The lowest proposals for
carriage were accepted after all the bids were In,
ana tue inspectors were appointed and the prices OF
carriage dictated Dy these men themselves. But q
limited number OF men and horses could be engaged
in the business anyhow, and no dmnuton Is made
by recent order Those mo most the gov
ernment favor received IT, The conditions imposed by
the Collector before taking the bonds OF the carter
demanded IN every case under the new regulation
were honesty fitness ana loyalty to the government.
The men now engaged TO do the Custom House cart
age are expected to discharge their duties very dir-
ferenty from those engaged In the indlscrnlnato
manner which prevailed hitherto. The saving to
the merchants will be thrtythree and thlrd per
cent and 70 the government tnrty per cent oy Inc
new plan.
The noise made about the protest OF the carriers
amounts 10 nothing. Thoy wanted the Collector to
certify to the correctness Of copy OF their protest.
which he had no time TO read, forgetting that they
should have made copy themselves and had 1t GER
titled to before notary previous to seeing the Col
lector. That Is the usual business way OF doing
things A copy was obtained yesterday, however,
and 30 the matter ends. 1t is likely tnat there
wall be any further trouble about the Custom House
carriage.
