EXIT LEET AND STOCKING.
NEW GENERAL ORDER REGULATIONS.

and efectualy deprving Messrs. Leet, Stocking Co.
OF the profitable monopoly which they have long
Ioyed at the expense Of the Of this port The
character OF the General Order business IL briefly
follows:
After vessel is entered az the Custon-house days
are given the consgnees in which pay the duties and
take possession of their goods expiration OF that
time general order" is given by the Collector Of the
Port to discharge the cargo, and all the merchandise
naming on board Is landed and delivered into the
tody OF Customhouse officials Goods thus discharged are
known as General order goods With the growth OF the
port many facilities required by the steamship com
panies In order that their schedule sailing time
might be observed. Several OF the foreign steamship
companies built their wharyes large warehouse
into which the vessels discharged their cargoes with
speed and safety where the goods were stored for
two days free Of expense 10 the merchant ths saving
valuable time to the companies. These warehouse,
known as General Order stores" under the COP
troll of United States Custom-house 0icefs FOR
years tho system was satisfactory To all
concerned. But about the tmo 1t was reported
that Thomas Murphy would succeed NJ. Grin
nell as Collector OF the Port, it ordered that an
goods discharged General Order should he s'n TO
the warehouses Of Leet Stocking. VINO con-
sttuted this rm question that few Of the tnei-
chants could answer but all felt that the nefaous ss
TEN Of political fvoritism had again encroiehei upon
commercial interests and rights Of the citizen.
The advent of Leet s Stockings General Order and
carriage monopoly closed the costly warehouses Of tn
steamship companies. The military favorites lHiinee
ately began their OF exorton and the grievanc
OF the merchants rapidly increased. So great noee,
were the latter that Treasury officers sent on from
Washington 20 investigate tine workings OF the monopoly
reported in the unqualified terms that the Carriage
| Bureau Zone branch Of the monopoly was fraud
| upon the merchants and the cartmen. Almost
| the last official act of Collector Grtnnen was
| tho forwarding of petition from the merchants
Of NewYork the Secretary OF the Treasury requesting
the transfer OF the General Order business "a the
ship warehouses. The petition granted but
Collector Grinne transferred TO the Naval oaice,
and Collector Murphy neyercared out the recommend
alton the Secretary. In January 1871, irvestiga-
ton ordered by the senate, and q Commit
| tee, Of which senstr Patterson was Chairman,
| took a large amount Of testimony which went
TO prove that the whole corrupt from beO-
ming to end The following order Is result OF tho
present Senate investigation demanded b. THE TRIBUNE
and all appearance totally ignores the firm Of 1st
Stocking in the distribution Of the General Order bs
ness. What Leet Stocking intend to do now Is not
! knowD.
