The crushing effect Of yesterdays testimony
before the Custom-house Committee will not
be weakened by the small tricks of Mr.. Decoy
Bliss, jr. That minute lawyer enabled Mr..
Howe to accomplish great feat. Digging
among the files of THE TRIBUNE,
he found harsh words of Tam
"many Republicans" The phrase had not
then acquired its present significance When
some of the best and truest men in this city
have come to be known by that designation,
while the real estate partners and politi-
cal aids of Tweed, Sweeny, Connolly,
g. Co., are best known as Custom
house Republicans, honest men will not
long hesitate which to choose. But if
Howe is anxious to have extracts from TRIB-
UNE editorials put into this Investigation as
evidences or, if grown suddenly regardless
again of the great loss of time, about which
he was Just now so anxious, he wants to force
further debate with witnessesa about our opinions,
we'd like to pick out few healthy articles,
ourselves, for him to try his arguments on.
Does the Senator want them We III promise
that they shall not be so garbled and torn
from their proper connection as to reverse
their meaning. If the Senator thinks more of
that trick profitable, Decoy Bliss is still his
man

"a public meeting Of agricultural labOrers WAS re-
Gently called in Herefordshre, England, by Mr.. G.
Dixon, in order that tho men might state their
grievances. Their chief complaint was the lowness OF
their waces-ten shilngs per week-and Of the cost Of
helping the parish to support their parents though the
latter derived no appreciate benefit from this socaed
support Their wants briefly comprehended IN the
wish for fifteen shngs per week. security OF tenure IN

education envy the happier aborers OF America ana
Australia Teach these men read and write, and they
would either demand far better terms or emgrate to
countries where the labor of six days worth more than
two dollars and a half"
The World is eminently right in this
Labor is meagerly rewarded in England, espe-
cially when we consider that Food must be
dearer there than here, or we could not send
so much Bacon, Lard, Wheat, Flour, Cheese,
&c, to that country for sale, after paying the
heavy cost of transportation. And the wisest
yay to better the condition of the British
laborers is to transplant them to some country
like ours. "where the labor of six days is
worth more than two dollars and hall"
Let us smelt our own Iron, grow our own
Wool. Rice, Willow, Tea, and other pro-
ducts which we now largely import and
make our own Steel, Wares and Fabrics, and
we can find room and work for millions OF
EurOpc's labOring poor, at fully double their
present wages, whether estimated In money or
in the necessares of life. Such is the policy
upheld by The TRIBUNE.

The Custom house investigators on Wednes-
day got upon the track of the Blatchford
frauds, and seemed to be in fair way OF find
ing out fact or two relative to the escape OF
the men who are believed to have swindled
the Government out of $2,0000OO, when sud-
denly the examination in the hands OF Senator
Howe took sharp turn, and it became ap-
parent that BlatchfOrd was to be covered up.
AT this point Senator Bayard drew attention
to the fact that the questions to the witness
were coming from DecOy Bliss, jr, who sat at
the ear of Mr.. Howe, where Col. Leet had sat
during ON earlier period of the investigation !;
and the pertinent inquiry was made whether
that gentleman was counsel for Blatchford or
only counsel for the Murphy wing of the Re-
publican party. The Administration is most
unfortunate in its friends. With Murphy, OF
at least his ghost, in the Custom-house, Car
penter in the Senate, Bliss in the Committee
Room, and John Thomas in The Times Office
Cen Grant certainly cannot say that he is
wisely served.

and Informed him that In an approaching contest

and informed him that in an approaching contest
in the Republican General Committee 1t was
very important to the interests OF the Admin
istration to have certain officials in the APP
praiser's Department "vOte as Mr.. Murphy
"desircd." Gen. Palmer did not wish to
interfere, but Pleasonton warned him
that it would be "better for him"
TO do % he was told "those men
"would be turned out, he was sure, II they did
"not vote as desired; he said he had told DIS
"men what to do, and the other Federal oficers
"were telling their men what to do" Inc
men did not vote as Mr.. Murphy desired ana
the next day but one they were turned out,
by order of the Secretary OF the treasury
Two were valuable officers, with experience
that was especially required in the posts they
then filed and it was difficult to find men
capable of taking their places. One OF them
had been O soldier. The contest lin which
their votes were wanted was quarrel about
the organization Of the Committee, and was
not even question of politics, but purely
dispute about patronage. Now it does not APP
pear that the removal of these men was in
any way connected with the appointment OF
their SUCCESSORS. They were turned out as
punishment for voting against Mr.. Murphy
and to encourage the others; and If they
had procured their positions by competitive
examination under the Civil Service rule
they would have been turned out all tn .
same.
Somebody complained Of us for saying that
the Investigating Committee ought not to
hold it's sessions in the CustOm-hOuse. But
majority Of the Senators seem to have been
of our way of thinking and now Mr. Cas- |
sery complains that while they were in that |
building "the sittings of the Committee
" were surrounded by officers of the Custom
house and their friends and followers" and
that even in their quarters at the Astor
House they are still embarrassed by Govern
" ment interference" Well, we told you so.
The Republican party has nothing to fear
from O thorough examination and everything
to fear from partial and fictitious one Yet
the foolish friends of the Administration have
tried from the outset to hamper the inquiry.
IF Gen. Grant is q prudent man, he Will Send
imperatiye orders to the Custom-house OF
fcials to let the Committee alone III they |
are asked for their testimony.

Senator Conkling came out, yesterday, with
his Compromised onslaught upon the One
Term Principle. The Honorable Senator
assumed that it was an attack upon the
President and the reflection that he could
associate himself with the President,
as objects of the ibels of the most
violent newspapers in the land"
seems to tickle him nightly. Having
thus set the pyramid upon its apex, giving
the smallest possible reason for a great pro-
posed reform, it was easy, of course, to kick
it over. Mr.. Conklings insutferable ego
tism prevents him from looking at
any public question with any other
purpose but that which relates
to himself personally; when he was not COM
planning of the abuse which he had suffered
for his super-s observation-disclosures, lie was abusing
somebody else by innuendo and insinuatOn.
Senator Summers brief reply was ample for
the occasion, leaving Mr. COnkling nothing
but his personalities for a standing-place.

The bill introduced in the Senate to legal
ize the term and doings of the Grand Jury of
the Court of General Sessions should receive
instant attention. At this moment packed
jury is hanging on in the Court OF Oyer and
Terminer for no other purpose than to embar-
rass the operations of that in the Court
of General Sessions. Judge Ingraham, days
ago, said that the business of the jury need
not detain it but day or two longer; but 1t
has been holding tenaciously to its existence,
in order to nullify if possible the acts of the
other body. If nothing else can be done, the
Legislature can prevent the possibility of the
repetition of such public scandal.

A correspondent of The Boston Troreller writing
from Halifax, N. s., mentions suggestive circum.
stance. When the 18th Highlanders departed tho
other day, for England, they permitted TO en-
bark without the least sign of popular appreciation.
This corps, suggesting memories of the Indian
mutny the massacre Of Cawnpore, and the relief Of
Lucknow, had been favorites of tho citizens. but
though they marched away with drums beating and
colors flying, there not much as the faintest
semblance of cheer. The writer attributes this TO
the changed sentiment of the colonists, who care
nothing now for all the glory and prestige attached to
the British troops, and who would bear with perfect
equanmty the exit of the last British soldier from
the Canadian shore If this be the true state OF the
case it is questionable whether such colonyh

II was q foregone conclusion that Philadel-
phia should be chosen as the place in which
the next Republican National Convention

for the honor were not numerous nor
specially importunate. The call of the

usual statement of the policy and achieve
ments of the Republican party for the last few
wears. resolution Directing to the 90 college
education clause of the new Civil

express the opinions of the Committee or not,
reflect those OF The country.

Mr.. Milbank, Member of Parliament for the
North Riding of Yorkshire, speaks very like a
Member from Buncombe County, North Caro-
lima. He promises to call on Sir Charles
Dixie to repeat in Parliament what ne has
said about the Crown outside of the House.
No doubt the Crown is a very sacred thing,
but when Mr. Milbank says that if Dixie fails
to answer, he shall "brand him. he gives q
ludicrous aspect to the whole case. Sir
Charles has shown that the cost of the Royal
Government is extravagant. and that he is IN
clined to favor cheaper form. If he has no
special occasion to say as much in Parliament,
how is the irate Milbank to brand" himf
