THE NE.SS.fGE.

Gov HO6man's Message is so long that our
comments on it are necessarily brief.
1t strikes us that his very cogent and sensi-
BILE objections to our present City Charter
ought TO have been urged when that dOcu-
ment came down from the Legislature for his
approval or rejection. Had he said then what
he saws now, our City would have been greatly
the gamer. But we should all grow wiser as
we grow older, and we commend the Gov
errors suggestions to general consideration.
They are in the main sound and pertinent.
We should like better the suggestions about
Quarantine and other Port abuses, if the main
purpose were less plainly evinced of clearing
the Governors skirts, on the plea of lack of
information or power, for neglect of gross
evils which 1t was quite possible for him to
remedy. But, neither in this nor in the Judi
ciary abuses have THE TRDUNE's exposures
been in vain and We look confidently to the
Legislature for early redress.
We have not often thanked the Governor;
but we do heartily thank him for declining to
elongate his Message with dissertation on
National politics. A good deal is said, and a
part of it well said, ia condemnation OF Fed
eral interference in matters OF purely State or
local concern; but the practice of Governors
and Legislatures boring the general ear with
tedious homilics on National politics is equally
reprehensiblet yet not equally reprehended.
GOV. Hoffman virtually tells the Legislature
to mind Their own business and let Federal
politics alone; and we trust they will heed the
prcccpt and find it justified by n consistent
example

him with majority of i-corruptionists" SO
as to guard against his apprehended rascalItes,
is insulting not more to him than to those who
are thus forced into an unworthy and re-
puIsive association. If Mr.. Alvord is not
regarded by the new Speaker as an honest
man, then he should be placed on no import
ant Committee surely not at the head OF one
80 important as the Ways and Means. If the
Speakershp is refused him from distrust OF
his integrity, then the Craftsmanship OF any
such Committee should be denied him for that
identical reason. The amateur hunter who

CUSTOM-HOUSE INQUIRY.

The mass of testimony taken before the Com
mitee of Congress- now investigating charges
against the CustOm-HouSe in the private room
of the Collector of the Fort, illustrates the
maladroit way in which the work has been
begun. 1t was the happy thought,
we believe, of Mr.. Senator Howe, to classify
the Committee of which he is a member into
wings, one of them fayoring strong inyesti-
CATION the other investigation not so
Strong" But surely devoted champion of
even the mildest investigation might pre-
fer to avoid the irrelevant mat
ter to which half their questions
yesterday led. Some preliminary examination
of the field, and comprehension of what they
wanted TO get at, and what lines of inquiry
might lead to valuable results, would have
shortened the report and increased its value.
The most striking points developed are two;
the opinions of the Editor of this journal
about the active use of Custom House and
other official influence to take care of State
politics rather than the duties of the Offices, with
the facts on which, in part, these opinions have
been formed aud the suggestive information
of Mr. John L. Lindsay as TO the way in which
MeSSrs. Leet 81 Stocking rose to fame and
fortune, at the expense of the business of this
port. This testimony has not yet been concluded,
but it comes from a gentleman who has had
many opportunities to know the springs of
official action, and promises TO be of excep-
tional value. Ii Mr.. Lindsay to-day tells all he
knows, and all he has heard from persons who
share or have shared the profits of the Gen.
eral Order business the enterprising firm of
Leet & Stocking will be in great danger of
early dissolution.
The primary difficulty in this, as in all SIM
liar Investigations, Is To get business men who
can b. made to suffer by the displeasure of
Custom-House officials to take the risk of
ii by telling what they know. Naturally too
the merchants strong enough to be in
dependent of this fear are the ones
who have suffered the least from impo.
sirons they were known to be able
TO resist and expose. Something of this diff
Guilty can be obviated by holding
tho investigation somewhere else than
in the midst vi the men to be
but it will never be wholly
removed till the business community has con-
fldonce llai exposure Of wrongs will in
eyitlbly result in tho removal Of

late number of the Paris Charcari has
cartoon representing Mr. Theirs as sculptor
who has roughly cast a statue of the Republic
and presents it to the Legislative Body as his
conception of the model they want, leaving TO
them the task of filing up the details. As
might have been expected, the statue is a
copy of the eminent man himself. 1t was
said of Richard Hayden that his Moses and
his Napoleon were too short in the legs, be-
cause his own figure was deficient IN the same
respect. 1t is rather unreasonable TO demand
of an artist that he shall make his ideal much
better than himself, and 50 we have, perhaps
no right to be surprised that the Republic
which Mr. Theirs is framing has many of the
traits of the old champion of authority, who
has always believed so thoroughly in freedom
for all men to do as Mr.. Theirs likes.
The paper we have mentioned must curb its
taste for niofdant sarcasm, or it will find the
atmosphere of Paris az deadly to wit az that

paper persisted here because 1t would not
speak evil of dignities, and the Charirari may
find itself endowed with the fatal love of the

Comments By The Tribune.
I. Our Government, at the request of the
Syracuse salt-men, instituted the most rigorous
test of the comparative virtues of Turks Is
land and Syracuse Solar Salt respectively, as
preservers of barreled Pork in all climates and
under every trying ordeal. The general result
Gas reported by officers who did not know
which of the barrels were cured with
Turks Island, which with Syracuse Salt was
decidedly favorable to the latter. The most
rigorous chemical analysis confirms this de
monstration. If. then, our City packers still
Use only Turks Island, because, if their bar
relied meats be left barreled in American
Solar Salt they dread its spoiling,n they sin
against light and knowledge, and deserve to
suffer by paying into the Treasury the extra
price they pay for Turks Island Salt.
ii. That extra price is a part of our ease,
with regard not merely to Salt, but to Amer
lean manufactures generally. Free-Traders
ask, "Why can't our home manufacturers sell
"as cheaply as their European rivalsp We
answer, MANY of them do; but large por--
ton of eur people will pay higher price
for foreign article than for a homemade
" one at least equally good. 1t is 80 with
