heved to be as strong as certain newspapers IN TIN
interest OF the revenue reform party would seem Il
indicate Trumbull and Justice Davis OF the Su
preme Court, both from Illinois, are regarded a
rival candidates for the nomination OF whateve
party win take them up. Trumbull has a,
idea that he can carve new part,
organization out OF the democratic ant
republican parties on the basis OF revenue and civi
service reform. 1t does not appear, however, tina
the leading politicians Of either party take to tn,
new PLATFORM especially the civn service part of 1t
They do not seem to think 1t practicable. In tht
meantime Senator Trumbun proposes, as soon a.
President Grant returns, to cali upon him and urge
chat his civil service amendment to the Deficiency
Appropriation bill passed at the last session be pu
into practical operation. The matter Is left TO The
discretion OF the President, and 1t remains to be
seen whether he VIII pay any attention to it.

Regulations for the Transportation Of Bonded
Merchandise.
The law authorizing the transportation OF I'M
ported goods without appraisement, passed July H.
1870. restricted the Secretary OF the Treasury TO
bonding only such routes as could transport goods
direct from the point OF landing to the place OF de-
livery; consequently the Erie Railroad and the Batl
more ana Ohio Railroad Companies were excluded
from competing with other lines In forwarding
goods under the provisions Of that act. To remedy
This inequality in the law Congress at its last session
amended the original act so as to provide that, in
case OF difference in width OF guage OF connecting
railroads. goods might be transferred to the cars Of
another route, under such regulations as should
be prescribed by the Secretary OF the treasury In
accordance with this authority the following was
to-day issued bv Acting Secretary Richardson and
