HONOR THE DESERVING.

We set forth, ON the 9TH inst, the grounds
wherein we judged Gen. Geo. W. faimer'
General Appraiser at this port, was entltieo 10
the chief credit of the increase of Revenue
from Customs collected here during the latter
half of 1870, as compared with the parallel
months of 1868 and 1869. The facts alleged
by us have not been disputed but me Wor'a
asserts that there was considerable increase
of Imports during the latter half OF 1870
The World forgets that Revenue is collected,
not on the goods imported and warehoused for
future withdrawal, but on those actually thrown
on the market. Now it is true that large
amounts of Pig Iron, Sugar, Coffee, Drugs,
&C., were imported during the latter half OF
1870 but, since the duties on these imports were
to be greatly reduced, where they were not
wholly repealed, on the 1st of January, 1871,
a great proportion of them were warehOused
and held in store till that date, before being
entered for duty. They swelled the imports
of the latter half of 1870, but not the revenue.
The Worlds cavil mpels us to state the fol-
lowing additional facts:
]. During the fourteen months of the pres
ent (Gen. Palmers) administration OF the APP
praisers' Department, the enhancement OF the
official valuation of goods over that of like
period Immediately preceding was over 40 per
cent.
III. The amount of advances in duties during
this period was over 10 per cent. in excess OF
like advances during the preceding fourteen
months.
This action of the Appraiser caused inn
portcrs themselves largely to advance their
invoices both in value and rate of duty, at the
time of entering their goods at the Custom
House, over the rates at which they had been
formerly in the habit Of entering them and
getting them passed.
In no case have goods been passed through
the Appraisers Department under its present
chief at lower rates than formerly: while
changes to higher classi6cations have been
numerous, and in nearly all cases sustained
on appeal by the Secretary of the Treasury.
nj regard to specific duties, it is well known
that the rate of duty often Gas with regard to
Sugars, Steel, Wire, &C., is made by law to
depend upon the grade, quality, or value, OF
the article; and these must be officially de-
termined by the Appraiser.

The Hon. EnOch Louis Lowe, ex-Goyemor
OF Maryland, removed to our City 5Ist after
the close of our late Civil War; wherein wa
did not hear of his exeIting his intellectual or
his physical powers on the side of the Union.
He very soon delivered a lecture, which was
designed to prove the Roman Catholic Church
a champion and bulwaTk of Civil and Religious
Liberty. We are somewhat surprised, there
fore, to learn that Gov. Lowe, in the Church
of st. Mary of the Immaculate Conception.
Williamsburgh, saw fit, on the 18th, while adj
vocating the restoration of Papal rule over
Rome, to say:
"Thdt all people hare he right Of changing ne form Of
government deny. deny hat the Italians do so.
The States OF the Church do belong to them. They
belong to Rome and to the two hundred miliep Catho
lies OF the world"
1t is The Sun that reports as above. We
shall be glad to hear that it has grossly mis-
represented Gov. Lowe.

further conquest or Immediate evacuation
without useless parades before the eyes of
prisoners. But we must all admit that it
would hardly have been human. The memory
of Napoleon's entry into Berlin, after jena
and Auerstadt, rankles in every German
heart. Possibly it ought not, after this lapse
of IS years, but it does; and the wish to
avenge the insults of the Uncle has tempted
the King and Bismarck, of whom, ren..5Tl-
bering him on the way TO Vienna in 1866, we
hoped for wiser moderation now, to resolve
upon triumphant entry into the Capital OF
the Nephew. 1t would have been moro pleas
ant to hear that the old King had concluded
to go home to receive his triumphal honors,
for there only blessings and applause would
have welcomed him. In Paris, curses ana
tears of rage and burning hate may mar the
poor glory of the parade.

Here are further assurances that the session
of the Alabama Commission will be short, ana
indeed merely formal, for it is intimated that
the negotiations are really concluded, and that
the Commission is only to arrange details
There is very little doubt that the English
Commissioners come instructed, not less by the
necessities than the choice of the British Gov
eminent to arrange the embarrassing and
threatening questions on any terms they can
get. 1t is needless, perhaps, to say that few
persons share the fears expressed elsewhere by
J. s. p that the American Commissioners may
throw away on false spirit of generous con-
cession the advantages which the country has
in being positive in its demands and in posi-
ton to await settlement, while England is
not. We are satisfied that our Commissioners
fully appreciate the fact that the country ex-
poets them to hold Great Britain to rigid
accountability for past piratical and present
fishery grievances. 1t is well enough indeed
to call the attention of friends and all others
interested to this determination of the people,
long since arrived at, that no hasty neg0tia-
tons which public sentiment will not sanction
may be concluded. The long delay in the
settlement of the Alabama claims has only
American demands, while it is
clear that British opposition is much less stub
born and unreasonable than formerly.

Claims for Southern property taken for use

OFFICE.MdHING,

A new Federal Judicial district was created
in this State six years ago. When representa-
tons were made to the then President in favor
of certain candidate for Judge, the candid
and truthful answer was given that tho place
had been made for so-and-so by influential
friends, and could not be given to another
without an implication of bad faith.
A bill is now before Congress which medi-
tates the carving of still another fourth) Jul
dical district out of our State. Of course this
is job for some ones especial benefit. There
is many lawyer who would like $1,000 per
annum for life, with dignifed position, to be
earned by doing as much work rs he should
see fit; and one of these whom we do not
know is behind this new district.
There is no use in protesting. Congress is
mainly composed of lawyers who like to help
professional brother to a good thing. Still,
we do protest as the eel squrms while being
skinned aive-not that it does any good, but
he can't help it. We are rapidly reducing our
internal taxes, and thus contracting the bust
ness of our Federal Courts. We do not need
another; we only want the three existing dis
tricts equalized. Now their population respect
lively is 100000, 100000 and 100000, very
nearly. Add to the Long Island district all of
this (Southern) district above Harlem bridge.
and there would be no need of a fourth dis
trict-always excepting his need who expects
to be its Judge.
