Let President Grant answer
Enough evidence and more than enough
has already been taken in the course of the
Custom House investigations in this city to
prove that one of two things must be true.
Either
!. President Grant las from the first nm
derstood the great frauds and robberies com
mitted by the Custom House Ring and its
affiliations upon the commerce Of New
York. and has shared in the fruits of those
roblwries. Or else
H. He has not understood anything about
the,p, but he has been dcluded and imposed
upon ly his staff officers, eronies and emp
followers, who alone have profited and been
enriched ly tie large sums of money of which
onr merchants have thus been plundered
If the first hypothesis be true, President
Grant is n scoundrel.
1t the second hypo hesis be true, Presi-
dent Grant is fool.
The friends of President Grant have vehe-,
mentlv asserted that the outrageous exer-
tons of ieet in this city were perpetrated
without his knowledge, and that he took
nrompt measures TO reform The general order
business rs soon as the abuses connected
with it were made plain TO his understanding
after two investigating committees had
ovcrhauled the mat er, aud it had been dis
cussel in the p'pers for many months. Yet
10 should he understood that Ieet is still
pursuing his operations upon the business
men who import goods through this port.
he Cincinnati Commercial complains that
merchants of that city, who take every pre-
caution they can devise to hasten the trans
porialion of their imported goods, find it i'm
possible to escape bis eXactions, and prints Il

lollars ON ten casks OF Of files bonded TO
Cincinnati and slipped 10y despatch line

the ship containing the goods arrived May G,

same day; but the bill Of ladng and invoice
did not reach The agents Of the line until tie

nit was taken ont on HE Sth, but before it
could be placed in the hands of the Custom
House officer on the dock the ods were
seized upon by Ieets men, and charges lev
led upon them TO the amount of five dollars
tor one months storage, five dollars for cart
tge, and five dollars for "labor' fifteen
dollars in al for what was Of no benefit to
ihe owners. Thus, not only our own mer-
chants, bat importers in the West are made
