"CUSTOM-HOUSE. NEWBORN"

Perhaps we have no great reason to be sur
prised that the offer on behalf OF Tweed,
Sweeny. Ingersoll, Connolly, and other dis
tinguished thieves, to pay three millions OF
dollars on condition that the proceedings
against them were abandoned, should have
emanated from the Custom-house, New
York. The United States Government kept
a bureau in that establishment for number
of years whose chief business was levying
backmail, compromising felOnies, and prom0t-
ing conspiraces to extOrt money Merchants
used to be taken in there and squeezed.
Clerks used to be invited to "put up jobs 4"
on their employers. The chief of the bureau
had pair of handouts on his desk which he
used to jangle i'll persuasive way before
gentlemen under treatment. Detected SNUG
gers could get clear by making private set
Element with this bureau, while innocent men
were compelled to pay enormous sums OF money
to compromise crimes which they had never
committed. And the Special Agent took a hand

beautiful, noble, dignifed and inspirting es-
tablishment, and nobody can calculate how
much it did for commercial morality ald the
credit of the Government.

b. G.. Jayne 1t is rather remarkable, how
ever, that the written proposition OF the
thieves agent to surrender part of the booty
should have been dated at the "CustOm-
.sbouse. New York" There is little dccOrum
to be observed in such matters, and though
the New York Custom-hOuSe has been in the
habit of doing a great many discredtab!c and
even dishonest things, it has not been i'll the
habit of waving the stars and stripes over
them. so to speak. and stamping them with
the great seal of the United States. Is it
possible that higher Republican officials stood
behind Mr.. Jayne in this matter, and that

and Judge Durel and the army were IN
structed to interfere. Under cover OF THIS
interference Kellogg was declared Governor py
a pretended Returning Board, which never had
any returns before it, and his Legislature was
seated at the point Of the bayonet. A COM
mittee of the Senate, after investigating the
affair, declared, through the report OF Mr..
Carpenter, that these proceedings could not
be sustained "without disregarding all the
"principles of law applicable to the subject,
"and ignoring the distinction between good
faith and fraud" That was pretty pain
speech for Republicans to use but the HOUSE
of Representatives has nevertheless stamped
the proceedings with its distinguished ap-
proval by recognizing Mr.. Kellogg as the Gov
ernor of Louisiana.

TIE LOUISIANA RESOLUTION.

After passing the Force bill, the object Of
which is to perpetuate party supremacy by
cOcrcive measures after it becomes impossible
to pelpetuate it any longer by fee ballot,
the House of Representatives could hardly do
less than go backward few years and throw
the mantle of its approval over the transac-
ton which placed William Pitt Kellogg in the
Governors chair of Louisiana. For Kellogg
was only little in advance of his time. He
did nothing i'll 1872 except what the Force
bill is framed expressly to authorize in 1876.
Not being the choice of majority of the
voters of the State, lie applied to Washington for
assistance, representing, to use the language
of Collector Casey, that his success was neces-
sary to save the Republican party and give
Louisiana Republican Legislature and State
"Government"-just as The National Republican
now declares the Force bill necessary ito
"preserve to the Republican party the cleo
"toral vote of the Southern States" That
was enough. The President Immediately dis

Orleans, conspiracy to resist the execution
of the laws. q combination of "twO or moro

We are sorry for those sentimental people who
rose early yesterday morning and with guieless
faith in the calendar looked for the ethereal mild
ness Of Spring. March came in like lion; not
wasting any time IN buster. 1t is true, but with
serious malice attending strictly to business. There
was none Of the usual jolhty and gayety of Winter
about yesterdays snOw-storm; great, feathery
flakes filling the air and wrapping the world in
beauty. 1t was a STILL steady, cold, bitter, misery
Storm sitting upon us all day the ugly annoyance
and chill of pOwdery specks of snow, too churlish
to combine and form socable flakes. For a
few delusive hours we had hoped that Winter was
ending; that time coming for the pairing of
birds and the laying off of ulsters and goloshes
when walking might be resumed and the bath be
practicable and the plumber cease to vex. The
stuff that dreams made Of! II the sun had shone
Yesterday morning he would have glded a scene of
desolaton. Fifth Avenue for miles is bowling
waste of Diled-up paving stones. and baleres CLEAN
at every ten rods thawing the pipes of waterless
houses The swart plumber haunts every
block on Murray Hill. and his blazing pine
faggots yesterday contested every inch of street
with the snow-storm. The snow conquered and
the pipe-fend retired from the field The children
of luxury and PRIDE fearing to light their range
fires stole forth half famshed and ate the bread Of
humiliation and the chop of despair mt the nearest
restaurant. The plumber bdes his time. Nobody
knows how much longer the Winter is going to
last, and the strong probability is that the only
people VINO can pay their butchers next May will be
the plumbers. Boss Shepherd was as short-sighted
as most rogues. He was plumber, aud if he had
only come to NewYork this Spring he would have
made more money than by stealing the District of
Columbia.

The Force bill passed and the Kellogg
usurpation fortified by resolution of recOg-
milton. the hot-headed leaders OF the Admin
istration party in the House are now turning
their attention TO Arkansas. Their idea is to
reject the calm review and sensible conclusion
of the majority of Judge Poland's Committee
and to adopt the minority report. This action
Involves approval of the Presidents monstrous
claim that Brooks is still the Governor Of
Arkansas, and the overthrow of the best gov
eminent that Arkansas has had since the war.

Our Paris letter gives On account OF the
proceedings in the French Assembly, which so
nearly resulted in a permanent rupture OF the
coalition between Republicans and members
of the Right Center From the attachment
which the Republicans then displayed to their
advanced principles, we can form some idea
of the sacrifice which they finally made IN
order to establish the institutions of France
on a firm, republican basis.

The sudden appearance of Mrs. Woodruff
sheds food of light upon the way in which
the less enterprising newspapers procure their
reports of great public trials. The explana-
tions of counsel show that TIE TRIBUNE was
absolutely the only paper publishing just
what Mr.. Beecher's representative said in
opening the defense. One Brooklyn
paper published an inaccurate report,
apparently made up from Mr.. Tracy's
preliminary notes, and the New-YOrk
papers, like flock Of sheep, calmly
copied it, mistakes and all, from this Brook
Ign afternoon journal. instead of securing
their own reports. Now, as throughout the
trial, TIE TRIBUNE is the only journal which
publishes complete and absolutely verbatim
report of the proceedings, 'reproduc-
ing every sentence exactly as it is
uttered in the Court Its report is in
constant use in the court room by the
Judge and the counsel on both sides 1t is
eagerly seized by the book publishers, and
already one royal octave volume, made up ex-
clusively from it, and containing more matter

The President promptly settles all doubts as
to his action by signing the Civil Rights bill.
The Hon. Alex. II. Stephens, Col. Mosby, and
the rest of the motley group of Rebel and
ex-Rebcl third term men, can now revive
the dalliance of last Summer to their
hearts content. The President has
made his choice between them and the
negroes-FOr the rest, however, we confess
that we attach far less Importance to this bill
than the amount Of noise made about it would
seem to warrant. The most Objectionable fea-
ture, that enforcing mixed schools, has been
lett out. The effort to secure the negro an
equal place with the white man at hotel
tables and in theaters does not seem to
us measure of wise craftsmanship
or likely to amount to much. The clauses
securing equal rights to all races on railroad
cars and steamboats, are more practical, but
in so far as they are likely to be of much
service to the cOlOred race, the end has al
ready been attained without them. Altogether
the measure is likely to prove far more irri-
tating to both races than either beneficial TO
the one or injurious to the other.

trades unions. II doubtless arises primarily from
the fact that tho hand workers Of necessity far
more numerous than the brain workers. There arc
only two ways in which the Intelligent ana SeiI-

underlying thought in the common mind, that

DAYS are sure to be watched with an interest
even greater if possible than has yet been

THE TgIBUNE's announcement of week or
more ago is indicated by the news of this
morning. Commissioner Van Mort has ten
dered his resignation. Mayor Wickham has
accepted it, The place had been previously
informally offered to Gen. Mcclellan, who
declined. It was now rendered to Gen. Fitz
John Porter of MOrristown, N. j., who
promptly accepted and will soon enter
upon its duties. Gen. Porter was rated
an exceedingly able army officer and
so far as severe training and executive
ability can go, he ought to be good Com
missioner of Public Works. The public are to
be congratulated on at least one feature of
these indications concerning Mayor Wickham's
policy. He seems to have learned that on the
whole, other things being equal, it is better
to have men of brains for important positions.

The reports from a House Committee in the
contested election cases of Sheridan against
Pinchback and Lawrence against Sypher, make
tardy admission of some of Louisana's wrongs
that were almost forgotten. 1t is the admission
that Louisiana has been entitled to two Con-
sentative representatives in the Congress now
about expiring and the recognition of Gen.
Sheridan's claims to seat as Congressman at
Large seems to carry with it the additional
admission that the State was carried by the
Conservatives in 1872. 1t is too late to seat
the gentlemen who have been kept out OF
the House for two years that would In
volve needless drain upon the Treasury; but
it is something gained to have the conclusions
of the Committee placed on record.
