WHAT GRANT THINKS OF MURPHY.

To inc OF INC
SIR: A Grant Republican friend of mine
doubts that Grant sent Thomas Murphy q letter
that could be construed into Endorsement of his acts
while Collector OF the CustOm-house OF Hew-YOrk.
Please publish the letter. that he can judge for HIM
self . 10 " D. MILLER.
No doubt II 1t we're not for the CustOm-hOuse compu
cations and other things OF a similar sort it would be
great deal easier Grant Republicans to elect their
candidate. We should think it might seem incredible
to conscientious supporter of Grant that he wrote such
letter. But here 1t is:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON D. c.,
... '. Nov. 90 1871 :
Hon. THOMAS MURPHY Collector Of the Port Rev- York.
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 18th inst, rendering
your resignation Of the Office of Collector OF the Port OF
EewYork with reasons therefor, Is received IL gives
great pleasure TO bear testimony 10 the efficiency,
honesty and zeal with which you have administered the
office long II has been ntrusted TO your keeping.
Your own peace OF mind no doubt will be enhanced by
leaving the office OF Collector, but doubt whether such
vice Under your administration the revenues
from the New-York Custom house have been
largely increased, and tho cost OF collection
IN proportion to the amount collected has been greatly
diminished This is shown by the records Of the Treas
ury Department. You have had my unqualified conf
dence ever you entered the office OF Collector You
had that confidence before, that appointment would
not have been rendered on. That confidence Is still
uushaken and in accepting your resignation desire TO
give you the fullest Of this fact Whether
remain OF oiioe time will convince just public
OF your entire Innocence OF the charges brought against
you. With great respect your Obedient servmt, ls 81
