fact that Madame Loyson. then Mrs Emile J. M,r

TIE BOSTON CUSTOM HOUSE CAST

A letter from Boston asserts that some
astonishing developments have been made in
the case of Jordan, Marsh g. Co. II the state
ments of this letter are true, the seizure of
the books of the firm is principally the result
of certain Investigations and reports made by
a person who drew a salary from the firm as
confidential Custom house clerk, and at lthe
same time another salary from the Govern
ment as a SOY. He transacted all the business
of the importers with the Revenue officers,
made out the declarations, paid the duties,
kept an account, we presume, OF the foreign
invoices, land had the custody of the CORE
sp0ndence While he was thus trusted, he
seems to have been systematically betraying
his employers. He was that most contemplate
of creatures, q salaried infOrmer-a man whose
whole Ito is lie, and who makes his living
by the ruin of other people.
We say he was all this if the letter in ques-
ton tells the truth. OF this we shall not
judge but we know, unfortunately, that the
United States Government is not above en-
ploying agents of this character, and encOur-
aging this particular kind Of rascality. 1t is
the policy of our revenue system to hire clerks
to entrap their masters into technical viola
tons of an intricate and obscure law, and
then to denounce them to the authorities, and
share in the plumber of their property. We
have seen too many startling instances of such
legalized immortality in New-York to be
skeptical of the alleged instance of it in
Boston. We must confess, however. that
We have seen nothing that equals the enor-
nifty of the proceedings against Jordan, Marsh
g. Co. The Government seems to have placed
a spy in their employ for the distinct purpose
of involving them. He was promised a share
of the booty if he could put the officers in the
way of making seizure Having charge Of
the Custom house business, he must have been
but q dull rogue if he could not bring about
the very state of things he was to be paid for
discovering. Of course, if any offenses we're
committed, he must have had hand himself
in committing them; but that consideration
does not seem to have had any weight.
Whether this is correct statement of this
particular case or not, it is evidently what
might happen in any case under the present
outrageous methods of q Government which
treats all merchants as its natural enemies.
