The collector of the port OF New York,
Mr.. Arthur, is here to-day with his .fdus
Achates. MIR. Sam. Ogden, and the two
are trying to induce Mr.. Hayes to let
the collector remain in office little
longer; but the President will not be
seduced. He is aware OF the fact that
the record of the collector is 'rank, and
smells to heaven;" that the Custom
house has been run as a political ma.
| chine; that there is corruption in 1t;
that political ringsters are on its pay.
rolls, who would have done honor to the
regime Of Boss Tweed in his palmies st
days. The sty lish dress, the sycophan-
tic manner, and the earnest petitions OF
the collector will not avail him augh ht.
His days are mum m6ered. and he will soon
sleep with his fathers, politically speak
ing. 1t is noticeable that Nlr. Hayes'
new appointees are always an improve
ment on the former incumbents. Would
change in Cincinnati result likewise? {?
. . GOLD Is SCARCE. n.
Yesterday was the last day for the
public to subscribe for the new four per
cent. bonds, and in this city many who
wanted to pocket some of them couldn't
do 80, because they could not get the
two per cent. in gold to be paid down.
Instead OF the S4, 900, 900 that John Sber.
man thought the people wanted, strtv-
eight million dollars were taken, and,
Ike Tue horse-leecl's daughters, they
kept crying Tor more. Now, we hope
they will not cry in vain. There are
$7O0 00O, 900 of the loan in all. Let Hon.
john SHERMAN take his pencil and work
out this problem, and he will see bis
duty in two seconds. If the people in
thirty days subscribe for $6S, ,0O0, 900, how
long Will it take them to SCOOP the
500, 900, 600 of four per cents? 81 kind
" reck'n" next Fourth of July would
tind them pretty we'll cleaned up. And
then we would have thu m at home, just
where they ought to be. Come, now,
Mr.. Secretary, give the people a chance,
and they will rise up and say you did
your duty like little man. Let the
great mass OF the people become
''bloatea" with their $50 and $100 bonds,
and then NO party dare talk reputation u Z,
nor scout the "bloated bondhol!ers."
The people Of France took 1000, 900 900
of her war loan. We want to uo the
same.
THE COTTON CROP

it will be better than last year. Floods

capital Sign. A good cotton crop will
uelp the pacIfication question. People
always love an administration under
which they have prosperity. Tie above

Official reports from General Ord, on
the Rio Grande, say that the Mexican
General, Trevino, has gotten over his
ideas and is now ready to
