CUSTOM-HOUSE NOTES.
WHY THE sUB-TREAsURY CANNOT BE
TRANSFERRED.

No News from the DelegatiGn-The Brad-
ley sensation Revived.
An act of Congress, approved Aug. g. 1s4s,
which has not been repealed, specifies that the
mint at this city, and that at Philadelphia, shall
be the depository of all government funds In the
cities named and it is for that reason that Assist.
ant Treasurer Flanders cannot move his Office,
etc., to the newly and extensively fitted rooms in
THE CUSTOM HOUSE BUILDING.
Just there some of those who lipger about the
Custom. House, and who have civil service in
their minds eye, wonder why Mr.. ex-Supefvsing
Architect Muett should order those expensive
improvements In the rooms referred to without
knowing that 1t would require an act of Congress
to permit the removal to the new apartments.
The vault built with it's double chled steel
plating sides and double sets Of latest improved
burglar-proof doors, with furniture, alterations.
etc., could not have cost less than $4,000, all oil
which must of course remain idle for months, or
until Congress. by an act,
AUTHORIZES THE REMOVAL
OF the sub-treasury.
Az yet nothing of positive character has been
heard from the RsturbiDg Board delegation. and
the inference about the building is that they
have not, as Ia usually the case with Republicans
visiting Washington, call upon Barr aud stuffed
him With gas to send to the southern papers.
They preferred, perhaps, to ksep their move
ments ne shady ~ possible, and that is just what
bothers the sine" who are generally OF the opin-
ion that the delegation will get their work and
their frie nds en-"
The Collector sage 1t is all moonshne about his
sending on list of forty names, but says he b as
sent
A DOZEN OR SO
names of persons to be confirmed az night and
day inspectors, wstchmen, etc., and with one ex-
ception, has sent names for no other positions.
Pc er Bradley, who raised sensation week
or 80 since over what he called the Custom House
ring, and who was raised into the Parish Prison
by the United States Commissioner, was released
upon bond Of $500 yesterday, and, rumor says,
will to-day
MAKE FEW AFFIDAyITs,
wherein he will tell who put him up to the big
letter business, and then it is sad too that Felix
Herwig will get after some of those individuals
with sharp stick. Some of those whose names
Bradley connected with the matter before do not
seem very badly scared at such course, and one
says he wouldn't want
ANY BETTER FUN
than to have Herwig tackle him upon an affidavit
msdelby Bradley.

Petitioners represent that they are both bakers,
| selling bread in this parish and city, and that
| they pay license for the same. Petitioners al
| lege that said business is lawful trade and oc-
cupation OF benefit to the community. and that
their rights are iully guaranteed by the consttu-
| ton Ct the United States and of the State OF
Louisiana; that as such bakers they use for the
| making of bread from one to five barrels of -four
| per day; that they purchase their flour in lots
| from ten to one hundred barrels at time, to be
| used as their business requires.
| That on or about the Sd day OF December, 1867,
| the then Council OF the city of New Orleans
passed an ordinance mo. $780, relative to bakers
and the making OF Bread in which it was pro-
vided that all bread baked and exposed for sale
should conform to q standard weight, to be fixed
by the Mayor Of said city, and which specification
should be published on each Saturday in the Off
| clal journal, and should be the law governing
sail bakers during the following week.
| Petitioners further allege that on or about the
10th day of March, 1870 an act was passed to in
| corporate the city of New Orleans under new
| charter and system OF government, which act re-
| pealed all former acts OF Incorporation and
amendments thereto; that the said city is now
| attempting to enforce the ordinance so repealed,
which is illegal, unjust and oppressive, and the
| power to pass which is not specially granted 10
said city by it's act OF rporation and that il is
in violation OF article eleven OF the constitution of
this State, in this, that it attempts to regulate
the price Of labor.
They further say that attempting to enforce
said ordinance is in violation Of articles and 40
of the constitution Of this State, and also in vio
lation of articles T. 5, ID and IA OF the amend
ments to the constitution Of the United States.
That the city, through its officers, is attempt
ing to enforce and will enforce said ordinance,
unless restrained by injunction, and will, BY such
enforcement, infict q damage to them in sum
exceeding one thousand dollars.
Wherefore, they pray an injunction do issue
commanding and restraining the city OF New
Orleans, or any of its officers, from enforcing
or attempting to enforce said ordinance No. 573J
80 far as petitioners are concerned: and that the
city of New Orleans be cited to appear and an
swer this petition, and after all due proceedings
had the injunction be made perpetual.

Then Maggie became revengeful and che swore,
