WASHINGTON,
The Nloiety Question.

WASHINGTON, March 12-U S District At
torney Bass of N. Y, appeared before the
Ways and Means Committee to-day in defence
of the moiety system. He said that behind all
were men seeming to protect themselves from
the consequences of discovered fraud, suits in
relation to which are now pending. The rea.
son he said that Stewart, Clahin and other
merchants are not here is that they suffer no
hardships under the laws. The New York
Chamber of Commerce don't know what it is
talking about, and there is no such law or prac-
tice in seiziag books and papers as they claim.
He endeavored to maintain the constitutional
ty of the law authorizing seizures but thought
that it might be amended so that books may be
examined in the presence of counsel There
must be intent to defraud to ensure forfeiture
He endeavored to explain the laws relative to
the entry of goods. He said that Mr.. Schultz's
head was turned by the case of Harvey, Ranes
& Safer, that there was no threat or compuls.
ion in the Phelps-Dodge case.
Moieties always existed from the establish
ment of the government to the present time
with the exception of three or four wears
Whatever might be the modification eff the
moiety system, he believed we must fight self
interest with somebody who stands up for the
governmental the enforcement of the revenue
laws. He thought the penalties for defects in
part OF the invoice of cargo should not lead
to forfeiture OF whole cargoes, but he believed
the combining of the forfeiture to a single item
was inexpedient
Mr. Bliss was Intercepted by Mr., Wood re
lative to his duties in connection with seizures
OF books and papers and as to compromises or
setIiements OF cases. In revenue cases he re-
ceved fees of per cent, but in other cases
nothing
, Bliss referring to what was said by Mr..
Jayne said he did not think there were in the
new York Custom House any officers against
whom there was definite evidence to affix the
stigma of disgrace
In further examination he said he did not
think the law for tie seizure of books and pa
pers could be safely changed.
