The DIRECT TRANSPORTATION OF
IMPORTS TO INTERIOR OITLES

IMPORTS TO INTERIOR CITIES.
AT the second session of the Ferty-f first Con-
gress an act was passed providing for the
transhipment in bond at the place of impor-
tation, and the direct transportation thence
to the place of its destination, of foreign mer-
chandise, "without appraisement and Hqui-
dation of duties" at the former place. The
system inaugurated by this law is a compli-
Gated one, requiring careful regulations and
constant watchfulness on the part of the
revenue officials to ensure its success. Con-
siderable delay has therefore ensued before il
could be put into practice between Philadel-
phia and New York. Everything else being
in readiness, however, Colonel John w.
Forney, the new Collector of this port, has
promptly done his part towards ensuring its
success by issuing the following circular to
the merchants of this city and all others who
are interested:-

regulations. The Government, the railroad
companies, and the Collector having done
their part, it is now incumbent upon the
merchants of Philadelphia to do theirs, by
giving the direct transportation system fair
trial. Such a trial cannot but result in its
unqualified success, of which, happily, there
is no doubt. The disadvantages of the old
system were so numerous, and so oppressive,
not only to the country at large, but to indi-
| viduals, that the system about being inaugu-
rated was not established in anticipation of,
but rather in response to, universal de-
mand. Its workings will be highly beneficial
to all the large interior cities of the country,
and especially to Philadelphia. The perplex-
| ing delays which have heretofore occurred,
on account of the enormous pressure in the
New York Custom House, will be avoided;
| Philadelphia, which was at one time the COM
mercial as well as the manufacturing centre
of the country, will hereafter receive the
credit on the books of the Treasury to which
it has always been justly entitled; and, not
the least important of all the advantages to
result from the new system, the business of
| the New York Custom House will be brought
| within such limits that an honest administra-
ton of its affairs will be hereafter possible.

TteIigIous Per.ecution r. J.n.,,

1t is well known that Roman Catholic Chris
tians in Japan are mercilessly prosecuted bv the
government, but until recently there has been
no interference with Protestant missionaries or
thier converts. OF the latter the number is 50
small as probably to have attracted no attention.
There is some reason to fear, however, that when
known as converts to Christianity, they will in
cur the hostility Of the government and, if not
protected by foreign influences, will be made to
suffer for their change of faith. We are per-
mitted to make an extract from private letter,
written July II, by the wife of a missionary of
the American board, which relates an instance
Of apparent persecution. 1t may be said in ex-
PLANTATION of the claim for release of the man ar
rested that the protection given TO resident for
elgners by existing treaties extends also to their
servants. The letter says:

WORCESTER
SEPT. 5, 1871,

II does not surprise us TO see the Boston
Times troubled by our statement relative to
Gen. Buffers Misrepresentation Of the cost of
supportiuc state paupers who are luuatics in
the Worcester asylum, The Misrepresentation
can neither be defended, explained nor OK
cused. The Times is requested TO take notice of
these particulars:
l. Gen. Butler professcd TO state the cost of
supporting them for a gear, and named the
its of the cost. Ii was the annual cost he was
talking about; and he said it wasI $4,000 for
salaries and $4,000 for provisions, total sSS, 600.
He added that il would have been cheaper for
the state to board them in luxurious style, at the
Revere house, Boston. There is no room for
mistake in regard to what he said and meant.
, The official documents show that it cost
the state about two dollars a week for each pa
tient supported at its expense, while the average
for the others was over four dollars n week.
There were 700 different patients in the Worces-
ter hospital, during the year, the average for
the year being 1885, the average number of those
supported by the state, something over 3d. The
whole cost for support and attendance, includ-
ing all the items of incidental expense, was
$50. 5414O This was provided for as folows:-
balance on hand at the beginning of the year,
s. 65j.11: receipts from all sources except the
state appropriation, ST. 1914 total $50 $685.
which is s3O6S5 more than the whole eXpend-
ture during the year. The state appropriation
for the year was s7,5SO.O6; but it was not
needed, and 81 ,Ss691, including the appropria-
tion remained unused, when the year ended.
In the face of these official figures, it was as
serted that the cost to the state, for the year,
was $4,000 for IS patients; and the items of
cost were specified as S24, 900 for employees and
50 900 for provisions. What shall we think and
say of this assertion from a candidate for the
office of governor. How would it look in a
governors message2 VIII the Times say what
sort of dealing with facts appears in it? But
its Judgment on this point is not likely to be
worth much, for we read this in its notice of our
paragraph: eve find the names of 124 persons
employed by the state to attend those thirty
five lunatcs, nearly four employees TO one luna
tic, or admitting the average for the year, fifty
two. nearly three TO one" If the services of |
these 1874 persons were confined to CHOSE thirty
five lunatics," who attended to the Others |
amounting in number to several hundred? The |
Times asks if we regard General Butler as a
falsifier of facts" All, well, neighbor, need we
do anything more than state the case and leave
it to the honest Judgment of others? We now
state ii again, in order to find out what can be
done towards explaining it.
