marked that he must 90 and hear him,

tfon-RepOrt Of the Minority.

The views of Senators Bayard and
Casserly, constituting a majority OF the
committee appointed to investigate al
legged abuses in the New York Custom
House, are set forth at length IN q
paper submitted By them to the Senate,
which comprises about one hundred
and thirty pages Of manuscript, besides
a large amount of printed testimony
INCORPORATED Herewith. They stste
that any inconpleteness which may De
found in thei. review Of the extended
investigation Of the twenty-five hun
drei printed pages of testimony
may be accounted for BY the cir
cumstances attending the submls-
sion of the report of the majority,
which they allege was, to their surprise,
prepared aud presented without consul
tation with the minority, who have
therefore. they state, had no reasonable
opportunity to examine and sic !le g

view OF its conclusions, from which
they are in the main compelled a7;i,e :
20 dissent
From an extended review Of the tes-
timony relating to the general order
business" az conducted bv Leet and
Stocking az the port Of New York, the
minority claim that it is shown TO oe a
monstrous abuse and scandalous sys-
tenn OF robbery and that the President
of the United States is responsible for
the appointment OF Colonel Leet, and
the latter. con;i1lei control OF this
business.
The minority fud that brides have
been accepted by officers OF the New
York Custom House, but that no
official mas been punished for many
cases O.: plunder' that they describe
DO the contrary, they find that crime
has been rewarded instead of punished.
Thev also find that the Custom
House at New York has been used with
effect as a political engine, and that the
public offices have been a reward for
partisan service. The administration
Of Collector Murphy is strongly con-
demned; the minority being forced 70
