DAssING UP PESysyLy.N1, ,vKNrr

pASSING UP PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE
Yesterday afternoon our attention was attracted
by the magnificent show Of Fashionable Clothing in
front OF the Store Of MIR. A. sTRAUS, No. 1911
near Eleventh street, north side and upon entering
his noted establishment found il completely
filed with new Clothing for the fall aud winter
season. The shelves and counters we're piled with
goods, and Mr.. StTsus, with his accustomed petite
ness and suaviIy, took pleasure in showing rs the
novelties of the season. He first directed our
attention to his elegant assortment Of Diagonal.
Bssket, and TricOt Cloth Coats in at least twenty
different styles, including the Cutawsy, Derby and
Sacks, In all styles and coors with Vests to match
We then examined his fine collection Of Cashmere
Dress PsntAloons in Hair Line, Checks and Stripes
and in Tea, Lavender, and Pearl color. He hiss al
east nifty different patterns Of these desirable goods
including both the English and American fabrics
In Business Suits his stock is complete, and so
varied that all can be pleased, at prices ranging
from eight to twenty five dollars In Overcoats for
gentlemen. youths, and bsys he has an endlers vari
ETY. Of English kerseys, Meltons, French, Russian,
and American Beavers and Black and Blue Chiachil-
las. These have been made up In Glengarys Sacks
and all the most approved shapes and his stock of
Boys Clothing ID also well worthy Of examination.
We feel assured, after hssIy inspection that no
house south Of Phlsdep his has better assortment
OF Ready made Clothing; and, upon INJURY, we
learned that the prices sstonshiRgy low while
the quality of sud manner in which tue goods were
trimmed made them com pare favorably with the
very best of custom work. The only solution Of how
Mr. straus can afford 10 sell his goods much lower
than many persons ia the same line Of business con-
ssts in the fact that ne purchases his Cloths CASH
meres, suitings and 0yercOstings by the piece Tor
cash, and has them manufactured into garments
during the dull season, under his immediate super
vision, ard especially 10 his order. The public ap-
precistes his enterprise, aud having proved 10y ex-
perience that he sells at prices from twenty 20
twenty five per cent less than others, they do n.
hesitate to give him their patronage. He takes
pleasure in showing his goods and visitors are al
ways courteously treated. In addition TO his i'm
mense variety now on hand, understand he is
constantly receiving fresh goods, that his assOr
ment never becomes exhausted.-SRaday CaroHtek

TIE MERCHANTS AND THE RENOMINA


What has the Administration party in Con-
gress done this session for the relief of Amer
lean commerce. Early in the Winter the
clamOrs of oppressed merchants and the in
dignant demands of the true refOrmers COM
PEELED the Senate to appoint Committee for
the investigation of the fragrant abuses of the
Customs service. The Renominationists used
every imaginable art to Obstruct the in
quiry and suppress the truth. They resisted
the appointment of an impartial, bipartisan
committee; they browbeat witnesses; and when,
in spite of all this, hideous system Of extor-
ton and corruption was exposed, they accepted
in the last hours of Congress report denying
that any wrong had been proved, and defend
ing the worst exactiOns of which the mer-
chants complained Mr.. Fenton, at the be-
ginning Of the session, introduced a bill for
the reorganization of the Customs service, in
accordance with the earnest entreaty of the
mercantile community and the recommended
tons of the Secretary of the Treasury, twice
embodied in that officers annual report and ap-
proved in the Presidents message. 1t proposedto
do away with the worst and most onerous
scandals of the system. Yet in q six months
sitting of the Senate, Mr.. Fenton was never
able to bring this measure to a vote. 1t was
postponed from time to time, and whenever
the author endeavored to have it called up he
was met with appeals for delay, or by plump
refusals to consider it. Latterly the excuse
was made that the bill ought to wait for the
Investigating Committees report. How much
light upon legislation was at last afforded by
that document our readers have already learned.
But the Administration party had resolved that
the bill should never be put to the vote, and
one pretense did as well as another to de-
strOy it.
A worse abuse than even the extortiOns of
the inefficency of n service conducted on the
principle of finding places for small politicians
and controlling votes and local meetings by
giving and taking away patronage, was dis
closed by the unwilling committee in connec-
ton with seizure cases. 1t was shown
that reckless and irresponsible subOrdinates
have a practically unlimited power to enter
any importers counting-room, put an embargo
upon his business, carry off his books and
papers, read his letters (even his family
correspondence, and expose him TO public
suspicion, disgrace, and loss OF credit, On the
mere chance that, in some part of the books
and private memOranda there may possibly be
discovered evidence of hitherto undecided
frauds upon the revenue II was shown that
the promise of moieties TO informeTs,
coupled wish the extraordinary license
given 10 special agents and sub
agents, acts rs an invitation 10

NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE, FRIDAY JUNE la, 1872

Survey is still going on, and $4,000 is set
aside for prosecuting it, The POst-O1ice estab-
lshment expends some s99,OOO,0Oo, and the ap-
preparation for the deficiency in its revenue Is
s5,7OO,970 for the next fiscal year. Congress
itself is one of the most expensive, IL
not the most expensive, of all our luxu-
ries. Taking together the compensation ana
mileage of its members and officers, its books
and printing, and its investigations, the
annual tax for the legislative branch OF the
Government ranges from S5,0O0,OOO to So
100000. AS the session which falls in the IFS
cal year ending July 1, 1878, is short one,
expiring on the 4th of March, it is proposed
to let the people off next year on payment OF
s4,7OO,OOO, together with some trifling items In
the deficiency bill to be passed at the close OF
the session. The public printing costs about
81, 10000 confirming the wisdom of Solomon,
whose saying, that "of making many books
"there is no end,n is true to this day. Con-
corning the reading of them he was wisely
silent. Upon the whole it seems to US that
the most promising fields afforded for retrench-
ment are to be sought for in the unnecessarily
large number of officials drawing pay from
the public treasury, and in the too lavish ex-
pendibres on public buildings and improve
mpnta
