GENERAL ORDER CHARGES.

When Mr. G. X. Leet got from Mr.. Grin
nell the privilege of charging Ncw-1Ork mer-
| chants for the storage of their goods, while nc
| was "messingn with Gems. BabcOck and POr-
| ter in Washington, and drawing pay as an
officer Of the army, 1t was stipulated that
"the rates of storage should not in
"any case exceed those demanded in
"other bonded warehouses;" The gentle
men to whom the privilege was al
Iotted seem to have made up their minds
that the General Order charges must exceed
other warehouse charges If, to use their OWE
language, there was to be any money made
out of the business and the rates were ac-
cordngly increased at once. Mr.. b. II. Hut
ton of the firm of Bernhard g. Hutton testi-
fed, on Wednesday, that while he believed
the Custom house to be upon the whole well
managed, the charges of Mcssrs. Leet &
Stocking were ga very serious abuse" Here
is an extract from his examination:
O. Are they more than charges made by other parties
for similar service A. Considerably higher; from
twice to three times higher
O. Have you made complaint TO the keepers Of tho
General Order stores A. Upon various occasions.
O. Have your grievances been redressed in any way
A. No, Sir.
O. You are able TO get reduction from what you call
on cxtravagant rate of charges A. No, Sir.
O. How do the charges compare with the charges OF
former years A. think they are about Fix times
much they have been ten times much.
O. What the charges A. They charge 30 cents for
storage 80 cents for labor and from 20 10 IS cents and 81
per package for carriage
O. What were tho General order charges 10 years ago
A. About one-third, II my memory me. OF what
they now.
N That hoy A
81 90 per case for storage, carriage, and labor.
O. Do they charge for carriage anything moro than
what they actually paid the carnan for bringing
goods to their storei A. have no doubt OF II.
O. What evidence have you of that fact A. The fact
OF what we pay 20 others for carriage.
@. Have you In any particular instance investigated
their charges against you to ascertain II they charge
more for carriage than they actually pay A. II would
be impossible 10 ascertain think from the nature Of
the carriage arrangement you may put upon cart
case or twenty and they make charge for each case
whereas the charges for the whole load regulated
by the Collector OF tho PORT the simple fact
that they charge 90 cents per package for cart
age, when the regular charge is 90 cents for
1900 pounds would satisfy that they do charge
than they authorized TO CHARGE there Is instance
in those bills, In any others, whore We not
charged 80 cents per package for carriage; In some In

Inextricabe confusion has fallen upon the
councils of the CuStOm-hOuso faction at
Albany. Senator James O'Brien, who was
the pet candidate of these men, as against
Mr.. Pullman, last Fall, has made bitter and
spicy speech against the gentlemen in
the City Government, whom he stgrnatizes as
Mayor Halls appointees." Ho espouscs
the cause of the President Of the Board of
Aldermen, truthfully saying that it is unfair
to leave out of the Auditing Board the only
officer who has been elected by the people.
The Senate has maDgled the Twombly bill, as
it came from the House, leaving it in
the shape Of a "substitute" which does
not resemble anything that has gone before
it, The agents of the Committee of Seventy
seem to be at their wits end, and the high
sounding resolutions of the Committee have
come to nOught. Senator O'Brien is evidently
in bad bumOr, and if, in his rage with his
late colleagues and employers, he tells some
truths, We can only admire tho fortunate
accident 1t seems evident that we are just
getting into the midst of q sorry quarrel
which has been precipitated by malcontents
who are determined that the City Government
shall not be reformed unless tho real rcformers
are left ont

A little common sense from a Unis,s..
clergyman, speaking at the japanese bapo...

and absurdity of political opposition to Asj,f.
immigration. The Democrats have for ve,.

the United States, and against "chean Cm

leaf out Of the Democratic book, and m.

nOunced this utterance at the times 4
was hypOcritical and mean, and was dedra

The attention of Congress has not been di-
rccted to the Coolie trade of the South Pa
cifc any too soon. 1t is notorious that the
islanders are cntrapped and carried off to 10
Dor on plantations on the larger islands; but,
for the honor of American seamen, we hope
that vessels bearing our flag have not been
engaged in the nefariOus business The Amer
Jean Government, however, ought to inter-
fcre, in the interest of humanity. And, while
it is about it, some decided action should be
taken toward breaking up the Chinese COOlie
traffic, which still lives and thrivcS.

We must look apparently in vain to TINS
Legislature for promptitude Yesterday, both
Senate and Assembly dawdled with the Ter
williger case suspiciom,ly and weakly. In tue
Assembly, o resolution to investigate the
charges was tabled by the parliamentary
movement of debate. The Senate was willing
to look into printing contracts during 1871,
when Democratic Legislature was
sitting in tho State House, but a
motion to add to the duties of the
Committee inquiry into those of previous
years, when Republicans were in power and
Terwilliger was Clerk of the Senate, was
promptly voted down. This will never do,
gentlemen: You may dsappoint the just cx-
pectations of your friends, but you will de-
ceive nobody. There is every indication that
preparations are made for a withdrawing re-
port on Terwillger's case, if any report Is
given at all. But there will be a storm, and
the men who are now hiding oflenses will
suffer Nothing short of thorough inyesti-
CATION can satisfy the public.

1t is hoped that the Kansas Legislature, now
that it has taken up the subject, will give the
alleged frauds in Senatorial elections q COM
plete and thorough investigation. The most
shocking charges are banded about in open
session, one speaker going so far as to say
that two men went to the Legislature with
money to buy seat in the United tatesSen-
ate, and that the conflict which arose between
them caused the present disturbance. 1t is
too late to hush up matters by any such lame
attempt at extenuation as this. The scandal
GUS report has gone abroad, and nothing but q
clean bill of health will now suffice for the DO
itical health Of Kansas.

Transcontinental travel is practically sus-
pended by the blOckading of the line by
snow. No one who has not seen the vast,
high plains which the Pacific Railroad ira
verses can understand how dengcly and
solidly the snow is packed on the
rails by the fierce winds which sweep it
for miles before it encounters any obstruction.
TO break the drift is to drill through the mass
with pick and crowbar. This blockade is a
disaster to commerce and travel, but it will
show the railroad people how such Interrupt
tions may be hereafter shortened and eventu-
ally avoided.
