this had no connection with New OrleaDs
officials Another matter to which he had
given some attention was an importation of
nine cases 540OO) Of cigars and two cases
of paper. Respecting this lot of goods his
suspicion had been excited and he accord
ingiy made an investig stion ia New Or
leans and Havana. He testified that he
had arrived at the conclusion that the
transaction wss in every respect proper.
The pay rolls of the Cus;omhouse occu-
pied the attention of the committee for q
considerable tins. The distinction between
the construction bureau of the treasury de.
partment and the customs service was sp-
pareutiy hardly recognized by some Of the
committee. 1t was shown that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury had issued his in
structions to the collector to psy the men
employed on the building upon the rolls
approved by the superintendent, over
1t seems, from tao evidence, that Mr..
Deputy Collector Herwig has been active as
a politician, and in the distribution of cam
paigu funds, Of which he has had cue.
todv, he has not been niggaidly. This,
however, can not be placed to the debit Of
his account as republican.
Complaints against the officials for want
of courtesy and inattertiOn to the interests
CT business men, were brought to the at
tention OF the committee. These charges
were amply related by the testimony of
fully one hundred of our best merchants
and shipping agents, and in some instances
it was clearly shown that the parties COM
plainant were more effected by business
rivalry outside the granite building than
by the action Of any Of those holding com.
missions within its walls.
In fine, the whole business as to the Gus
tomhouse has been . grand fzzle. The 10
vestigation has only served to confirm the
we'll earned and excellent reputation of the
officers of the customs under the administra
tion of Colonel Casey, and ths Same m ~ be
said a. to the investigations relative to the
management Of the Offices of other depart
ments of the federal service in New Or
leans.
