Mr.. HASTINGS, editor of the New York
Commercial advertiser, is greatly displeased
with the order of President HAYES prohibit
ing Federal officers from taking part in the
management of party politics. This is
just what we expected, for that paper is no
toriO,isly the organ of the New York Gus
tom house. Relatives and friends of its
editor are no strangers on the pay-rolls Of
Collector ARTHUR. They arc the men who
have helped to bring the service into disro-
pute, having been appointed not on account
of their qualifications, but because Mr.
HASTINGS possessed influence enough to
have his dependents quartered upon the
public treasury.
Mr. HASTINGS does not yet seem to have
learned that this Government il hereafter
to be conducted on business principles. lie
seems to imagine that the Republican party
cannot exist without tho aid of the custom
house gang" Does he not know that there
was Republican party, great and strong
in the State of New York long before Mr.
ARTHUR had possession of the custom-h0use
to use II for the purpose Of packing dele
cations to conventions? Does he not
know that the administration of that Office
by Mr. ARTHUR did more than any other sin
gle cause to bring the Republican party
into discredit and to the very verge Of
ruinp
The article in the Commercial Advertise
was doubtless inspired BY Mr.. ARTHUR, and
furnishes another ground for his prompt re-
moval. 1t shows conclusively that Mr.
HAYES need expect no sincere cooperation
from him in carrying any real reforms int
effect in the New York custom house. Thi.
defiant blast from Mr.. ARTHUR's organ
must result in his prompt removal, espe
cially as it is only question Of time.
