IEGAL OPPRESSION.

The Daily Bulletin, in expressing its con-
viction chat the investigation at Washing
ton fully ju5tIies tho attacks that have been
made upon the moiety system, sensibly re-
marks that q law "is and ought to be, very
"closely gagged by the opportunities it af-
"fords for abuse" One great trouble with
the existing regulations OF the Customs
service is the extraordinary discretionary
power which they repose in the subordinate
officers. The Government goes all lengths to
protect itself against the private citizen, and
assuming that he is naturally rogue, treats
him accordingly. But it takos no step to
secure the private citizen in the enjoyment OF
his individual rights. 1t leaves him to
be swindled and plundered by gaugers
and special agents, to whom it intrusts
the fullest liberty in the Interpretation
of their duties, with sort OF license
to harry the merchants at pleasure, and extort
what they can from them, only demanding
that the Government shall have half of all that
they get. $50 long as the law recognizes no
rights except those of the Government and
I" its servants" says The Bulletin, " so long as
Z" the officers have it in their power to inter-
"pret the laws, to determine what is the
"value of the goods invoiced, and to consult
their own convenience as to when they will
Inspect, pass or release goods; so long as
" the law is full of quirks and traps by which
"an honestly intentioned importer may inno-
GENTLY subject himself to charges of fraud
"and heavy penalties-sO long must the law
"attract into its executive the most venal
classes of the community, and convert them
"into a closely -compacted band of secret, re-
"lentless robbers which, in the judgment of
"all merchants familiar with their tricks, is
the real character of a large majority Of
those now employed under the New York
Custom house."
1t is reported that Mr.. Jayne is highly dis
pleased at finding himself exhibited to the
world in the character of Custom house scape
goat. The Collector, whose share Of the
mOieties amounted up to the 30th of Novem-
Der last to the snug little sum Of $65,OOO; the
naval officer, whose portion was set down as
$S3, 900; and tho Surveyor, who appears in tho
official report as the recipient of no less than
$l32, ,OOO-these three gentlemen, having a
position in society to sustain politely declined
the invitation of the Committee of Ways and
Means to como forward and testify in behalf
of the Government, and threw that difficult
duty upon Mr.. Jayne and District Attorney
Bliss. The latter person, not being at all par
ticular, accepts the situation with charming
equanimlty; but Jayne is disgusted He
threatens to expose the thieves in the Custom
house. We commend his determination. 1t is
the only act of his career, except his resigna-
toD, upon which we can reflect with entire
approval. If he tells oil that he knows of
official rascalty, it will be long story, but it
viii be worth hearing.

1t appears that the death of Mr.. Summer
throws into the hands of Mr.. Carpenter (Presi-
dent, pro tempore, of the Senate) the honor OF
fixing the complexion of the Committee which
has charge of the Louisiana question. The Com
mittee of Privileges and Elections has the LOUIS
lana business under consideration, but there was
tic during Senator Summers lifetime, as ne
never met with the Committee. MIR. Carpen-
ter's appointment of his successor, it viii DC
seen, therefore, will be one of great Importance.
The suggestion that Mr.. Schurz, the personal
friend and political associate of Mr.. sumner
is the natural successor to the vacant place
will undoubtedly be received with very gen.
eral favor.

Even the penetrating and drenching rain
storm of yesterday did not seem to seriously
dampen the enthusiasm of the sons of Erin.
The celebration of st. Patrick's Day in this
city was certainly as spirited as usual. The
great festiyity was rounded off at night with
many banquets and social observanoes, of
which the dinner of the Friendly Sons OF St.
Patrick was one of the most notable, as will
be seen by the report which we elsewhere
print There is an old tradition that it al.
ways rains on st. Patrick's Day. Yesterday
kept up that tradition nObly, for the weather
was the most uncomfortable and depressing OF
the whole month.

Flying reports from the Western part of
North Carolina give picture of an alarmed
population flying from an impending volcanic
eruption. Our dispatches show that there is
some foundation for these stories, though
they appear to have been exaeeerated.. An
active volcano in the Southern States would
be an unexpected as we'll as unwelcome
novelty. But remembering the somewhat
simple and pastoral character of The people of
the threatened locality. we arc not 80 sure but
New-York tribune., 1874-03-18

Notwithstanding the general popular impa-
tience with the tardiness of Congress in taking
action on the question of increasing the cur
rcncy, that body sustains an attitude OF digni-
fed indifference. In the Senate yesterday the
gentle shower of debate set in again from the
Westward, Mr.. Logan speaking at consider
able length in favor of initiation. This pro-
gramme is of indefinite dimensions; every
Senator must have his say; there is no con-
stitutional objection TO his having it; but whom
it comes to saying it three or four times, the
thing grows wearsome. Meantime the coun-
try is concerned to know how much its paper
dollar is to be worth when the debate comes
to an end.
New-York tribune., 1874-03-18

On our second page we find room for the
fifth lecture of DR.. Brown Sequard, giving it
in advance of his fourth lecture, because of
the extreme present interest Of its subject. In
this lecture the character Of the injuries to
his nervous system, from which Sumner suf-
fered after the first effects of the assault OF
Preston S. Brooks had passed away, is clearly
explained Fortunately the state of medical
science was sufficiently advanced for the
recognition of these injuries as being not of
the brain, but of the nerves. The extraOrdi-
nary treatment, employed more severe in its
apparent cruelty than any DR.. Brown-S6luard
has ever employed either on man or animals,
gave an opportunity of showing another phase
of the heroic character of MIR. Sumner. He
shrank from no suffering which would
restore him to the exercise of those powers
which were devoted to the interests of
humanity. We have to thank his physician,
not only for the restoration of Charles Sumner
To health, but also for furnishing one Of the
most touching chapters in his biography.
New-York tribune., 1874-03-18

From Boston we receive fair summary of
newspaper opinion in that city on the vacant
Senatorship. 1t seems to DO admitted that
the race will have but three contestants
Messrs. Adams, Dawes and E. r. Hoar OF
these it is also conceded that Mr.. Charles
Francis Adams leads in all the highest quail
ifcations for the place. The Republican
newspapers frankly acknowledge this point.
But some of them hesitate when asked to
support candidate whose devotion to the
party has not lately been tested and estab-
lished. They want him to "take the oath of
allegiance" Otherwise. they are afraid that
his election might be considered a challenge
to the Administration. Considering what has
happened in Massachusetts, lately, this seems
like non resistance. Some folks enjoy cutting.
