TIE AMERICAN LNQUISITION.

Those of our readers who have followed
closely the vOluminOus testimony taken by
the Senatorial Committee of Investigation will
recollect that the Committee, after hearing the
evidence concerning the seizure of the books
and papers Of Messrs. NaylOr & Co. of this
city. requested that firm to offer suggestions
for the amendment of tho law under which
such seizure could be made. The amend
ment which they suggest is given elsewhere.
Truly il is time for q change. When officers
of the Government, named only as Special
Agents, and as such formed into bureau,
can, by mere complaint and affidavit before u
district judge, become possessed of powers
such rs were exercised, according to the testi-
mOny in this case, an amendment il in order.
The story reads more like page from the
history of the dark ages, or record OF pre-
paratory proceedings that might end i'll con-
fiscation of goods and haling the victims
before the High Court of the lnquisiti0n, than
anything of the present day, in this country.
A firm of iron importers, doing a business
of Sl2,0OO0OO per year, without notice and
without, as subsequently, appeared, any just
cause, have their premises invaded ana their
property seized by Marshal and set OF
men called Special Agents. "A whole crowd
with hats on smoking cigars, sat down ut
"our desks, grabbing up our papers, taking
"from our partners desk paper he was
"thcn writing, soizng telegraphlc dispatches,
0saying, we want all these things-they all
"belong to u.s. and acting in the toughest
"way they possibly could" For five weeks
these men stayed about the offices of the firm,

such an extent that one Of the partners says {:
"Wo should have willingly paid 100000 to

ropers were examined by these Special
Agents relating TO transactions as far back
"a 1854, in the vain hope of what is called by
lawyers (shing evidenco"-a thing permitted
by no court in the land. There is hint that
q compromise will be accepted by these in
quisitors and the investigation stopped but
the firm refuse. AT last the proceedings come

We publish to-day some selections from n
mass of letters between James Fisk, Jr, ana
Josephine Mansfield, which have lately Dccn
thrown open to the public. They arc evidently
selected and printed by the friends of the late
c-Prcsdcnt Of Erie, and (occOrding to his
slaycD do not include those damaging refer
cnccs to pnblic and financial matters contained
in other parts of the correspondence, which
were considered Of so much importance to the
interests of the Ring that tho entire
machinery Of judicial corruption was put
in opcration to prevent Their pubncatOh'
Tho letters now printed contain nothing OF
general interest. They only present remark
able picture of this bold and cntcrprlsing aj-
vcnturcr, completely suhjugated and controlled
by q vicious fancy. AS one reads the succeS-
siyo notes Fisk himself is seen clearly re-
ycalcd-tho wit and audacity and vulgar
clcvcrness all gone, ard only the poor human
poturo blinded ard melted by q criminal
weakness. dropping into a maudlin pathos, OF
rising TO an affected rage az he thinks OF his
wasted passion and lis unavailmg grecnbacks.
The portion of this unsGvory history which
still lies subject to the judicial lock and key
NAV vet disclose some points of the scandai
favorable I'd MtIoItiu anu i'Si D'''''
bic accomplicc Eut, as the casc stands upon
these letters, it is one Of gross and unmlb-
gated depravity. Neither Of the three parties
TO thc tragedy seems to have ever emerged for
n moment from the mire of scnsuality
and greed where they have lived together for
the last few years All were married people
unfaithful to their VOWS, and all protested
loudly of the purity Of their affections. All
were thieves and swindlers, and all insisted
upon their sacred rights as if they were as
Just as Arist;dcs. They robbed and plnndercd
each other without mercy, and the word
of.enost on their polluted lips was
love. There has been but one author
who knew sufficiently the diseases OF
the human heart TO appreciate entirely tho
details of such situation, and even Bazac
might have added new points of light to the
characters of NucinGen and Esther if he could
have observed The flashes of unhallowod
passion playing over a mazo of knavery such
as we see in this tragic Opera Bouile.

TO an end, and six weeks afterward the iron
merchants are informed as TO the causes Of
the performance. What was it all about1 A
difference in settling accounts at the Custom
house which amounts, as nearly as known, 10
$176 Outside OF that, absolutely nothing but
basclcss suspicious respecting few small in
voices of iron imported during the past aud
previous year Nothing but sl76; nothing
before 1859. Is there anybody in his senses
who can doubt the object of such seizure,
when il is remembered that half the forfeiture
or extorton as the case may be-goes to the
special AGENTS.
The amendment which the aggrievcd firm
suggests covers certain points that only show
more glaringly the deficiencies Of the present
law. Il is asked that the affidavit on winch
the seizure is made shall set forth the speclhc
olfcnse, and facts and sources Of information
concerning it; that the seizures shall be nm
tied to tho papers and accounts which relate
to tho alleged Otlonse; that decision a. to
furthor proceeding shall be made upon the
papers seized within ten days; that the pro-
cccdings shall not apply to transactions over
two years old, and that they shall be entirely
under direction Of the United States District
Court. But the whole system of this Special
Agency nquisiton would fall to pieces
if the AK were Lid at its foundation-thc
practice Of giving half the proceeds Of sciznrc
to the informer5 and allowing the Special
Agent to bc also the informer.

From Washington we have rumOr to the
effect that the President intends making a
clean sweep in the CuStOm-house and this
port also. that he Will dismiss his "Kitchen
Cabinet" If the President is not too much
influenced by his most mischievous friends, he
will pursue just this course. The revelations
at the investigation of the CustOm-hOuse have
disgusted the country with the bad system
with which the Customs service is admins
tered, and there seems to be no way to end
the scandal but by clearing out the professional
politicians who now infest The offices and ap-
pointing under the new Civil Service System
capable business men, who are above belonging
to or serving any faction.
New-York tribune., 1872-01-15

Considerable light was thrown on the su b.
ject Of CustOm-house seizures and cOmpro-
misses, Saturday, during the session of the Con-
gress Committee of Investigation. This vicious
and most unecOnOmcal system has been in
great vogue in the New-York Custom-house,
as appears by the testimony already elected.
That it results in great loss to the revenue is
apparent from review of the evidence; and
it should be borne in mind that, when COM
promises are made, the Government gets only
- portion of the proceeds of the transaction; ;
the rest goes to the Customs officials, who di-
vide il among themselves. The Committee
also elected some facts relative to the manner
in which dishonest weghers help cheat the
Government. The whole story illustrates the
value of Government servants whose tenure
of Office depends on their ability to "carIy
primaries for their masters.

NR. TEPUJLLIGERS CASE.

There have been for some weeks circulating
in manuscript ali AFFIDAVIT and exhibits by Mr..
Edward Oracle, bOOlkcepcr residing in AL
bany, which gravely impeach the official and
personal integrity OF Mr. James Terwilliecr,
formerly and now again Clerk Of our State
Senate, and intcrncdiatcly Deputy Collector
and private secretary of Mr.. Collector Murphy
in our Custom house. which Offices he has
probably resigned, though We have seen no
report that be had done 50.
We have procured and herewith print these
documents as an act of justice to Mr.. Terwil-
Tiger and the people Of our State. If they are
founded in truth, Mr.. Tcrwilliger cannot re-
tain the responsible post he now holds. III
they are essentially false, he is grievously suf-
fering from callmnics which he cannot rcfute,
because they buIrow in darkness. We now
bring them to the light aud exhort every
reader, rs a matter of simple fairness, to with
hold his Judgment until Mr.. Terwilliger
shall have had full hearing. He is man OF
TOO much character and consequence to be
condemned upon statement OF ene side only
of his case. Yet the charges embodied in the
affidavit of Mr.. Oracle are too precise and cir
cumstantial TO be treated with contempt. If
unfounded, the books of Weed, Parsons g.
Co., the testimony Of living witnesses, will at
once confront and refute them. Let us await
the production Of that testimony, which is
directly within Mr. Tcrwilligers reach, and,
until it shall have been adduced, unite in
wishing him safe deliverance.

Clerk Of the Board of Aldermcn. For what
ever advantage may accrue to the public ser
vice from this chOice--as frCm that of MIR.
Shaunon's principal, Mr.. James OBrien, TO the
Senate-THE TRIBUNE viii deserve no credit
Whatever We knew beforehand that Mr..
O'Brien would be chosen Senator, and it had
seemed for some days probable that Mr. Shan
non would be made Clerk, but We did not favor
either selection. Now that they arc made, we
ardently hope that they may prove auspiciou3
t. the cause of Political and Municipal Reform.
Our hesitation TO support these selections had
nothing to do with politics Weperceiyed ana
admitted that Democrat should be the Re
form candidate to succeed Senator Bradley
after Gen. Cochrane had been chosen PrCsi-
dent of the Board of Aldermen, we felt that
the Clerk of that Board should be a Reform
Democrat. If Mr.. Shannon fills this pro-
cramme, then he is the very man for the
position. But we warn the majority in
that Board that they were chosen TO
correct abuses and retrench expenses,
not TO promote the fortunes of any party, fac
ton or ring" If they realize and act upon
this truth, we ask nothing more. But we here
publicly insist that a salary that suiliccs the
Governor of our State ought to suffice the
Clerk of our Board OF Aldermen, and we think
that $4,000 per annum ought to supply that
body with all necessary clerks and other at

The Hon. John A. J. Creswell. Postmaster
General, has felt constrained to ask Congress 10
investigate the charges of corruption and favor
itism in letting Mail Contracts which have been
hurled at his head. This il proper and timely.
The gist of these charges, as we understand ii, ,
is. that Mr.. CIeswell has been in colusion with
certain contractors at whose instigatiOns
" straw bids" we're put in at prices very far
below the necessary cost OF the service, and,
when those bids were accepted as the lowest, the
bidders came mp missing; wheteupOn Mr. {. as
signed the service withOm contract to his favor
ties at exOrbitant rates. Now let this matter
be thoroughly investigated, all persons being
invited to step forward and tell What they
know; and, in order that there may be no
room for cavil, let the Opposition have the
Chairman and majority Of tho Committee.
If Committee so constituted shall report the
charges groundless, DR. Cresweu will stand
fully yindicated.
