GRANTS THIEVES.
xnay.rlss Ia the New York custonAsuss
EarnIacsnt System of Wholesale Stealing.

NEW YoRK, January 9.-The fraud In
vestigating COMMITTEES OF tie senate have
discovered that Leet & Stocking charged
importers enormous rates for storage.
Leet is the fellow sent by Grant to Grin
nell TO announce his appointment as chief
of the customs ofhce. Leet had letter
from Grant TO Grinnsll, commenting
Leet as fE for an appointment. Leet was
on Grants staff In the army, and after
GrinneH withdrew he stuck 70 Murphy
and to Mdrphy's successor.
During the Investigations yesterday
James Elliott swore that he was marking
with a United States weigher, and that
the British bsrque Vists was unlosded of
six hundred tons of pig iron. He did not
see one hundred casks of soda ash
weighed as they came from her hold. On
the contrary, the English weights were
taken from the casks by Messrs. Baldwin
and Nelson Mott, who were st work for
the United States Weigher.
The witness said there are men who
have sinecures in this department. For
instance, q man named Moore got eigh-
teen dollars for running for sandwiches,
while we, who had to work hard, could
dollars a week.
The witness then told how Weigher
Thompson hrouht q crowd, armed with
clubs, 70 carry the election in the custom
house interest In ths Twenty first ward.
When Mott was cheating the govern
ment by copying Of the English weights,
said TO him: You are doing q nice Job,
amt you'll" ."Ah, what's the odds, said
he; hit's all in the family. and it viii
all wash out"
They took the weights of a whole ship
and q brig load Of casks In the
same way. Several hundred tons
were thus run out In the some
way detrsUding the government
of revenue. You see, casks OF stuff, when
weighed by the United States, always
weighed sixty pounds more than English
weights, and therefore the government
lost that much revenue. All these men,
Thompson and the rest, had their names
on the cuEtomhOuse payroll. Various
parties corrollorated the testimony Of this
witness as to taking the English weight
marks.
Patrick Callahan testified to that Doyle,
the city-weigher, having always favored
merchants sixteen pounds out OF every
sixty-four, had thus defrauded the govern
msnt out of one. quarter. The office on
Thompson Pier Is filed with since urists
playing cards.
James Reilly testified as to the fraud by
Thompson, also that all the dockhsnds
were required to attend the primary
meetings, although not belonging to that
district.
It thus seems hat Grants thieves are
no worse or more Unsuitable in New Or
leans than IN New York, and that Leet
was ht to be retained In ofice.

GRANT 70 The NEGROES.
His Reply to a Delegation Of SanEsr's
CeloEed Friends.

WAsHINaToN, January lO.-Tbe Presi-
dent was visited 70 day by delegation Of
cOlored men, who are advocating the
passage OF Senator Summers supplement
zry CtYil rights bill. They ssked the
President II he would not send q mes
sage TO congress, and ssk tor the passage o.
this measure "a an amendment to the
pending amnesty bill. The President re-
marked that he had no doubt but that the
colOred people were deprived Of some
rights snd privileges they had clear
claim to, and thst his impression Wss thai
the recent smsn6msnts 10 the cOnstitu-
tiOn conferred upon them all the privtl-
eyes OF citizens, and Go thought the courts
would sceOrd TO them all the legal rights
withheld from them. With regard to
amending the smnesty bill by an addition
70 she supplementary civil rights bill, the
President considered that such action
would isOpsrdizs The passsge Of the am
nesty law, while, from his knowledge of
Summers bill he believed Il could pass
upon its merits - q separate measure.
