on the redoubtable Bridget, and closed

4 SPECIMEN CUSTOM HOUSE.

The Custom House at Philadelphia appears,
from the report of the investigating Commits
sion, to be a pretty good sOr' OF an establish
ment, as custom houses go. Within the past
year and half, at all events, the service has
been greatly improved The practice of re-
ceiying gratuities has been abolished. There
are no evidences of bribery. The merchants
are satisfied The force, as general thing, Is
fair one; the public business is transacted
with reasonable regard to business princi-
pies and "the tendency and tone of the ser
"yice at present are healtEfu and in the right
direction" This is a gratifying verdict and
if the commission had gone no further we
might have rested happy in the belief that
there was at least one custom house which
could defy the tongue of SANDER and the per-
ouisi,ions of investigators. But, unfortunately
the approval is qualified. There are some very
large bemishes, which the committee think
ought to be removed, and we must confess
that we agree with them.
If there are neither gratuities nor brides, there
is, or at least there has been, a, system of per-
ouisites almost as bad. Samplers have been
permitted pretty free range among the casks
OF wines and spirits, and the hOgsheads OF SUI
gar and molasses and besides keeping open
a refrcshment room in the Custom House build
ing, where employees and their friends, Wash
ington offce-hOlters and Pennsylvania politi-
clans, luxuriated in free drinks, and grew
moist about the eyes and rosy at the peak at
the cost of vessel owners and importers,
they have driven a brisk little outside
trade by the sale of samples in
packages and bottles. Quantities of liquors
and other goods have been presented to the
revenue officers by the persons with whom they
transact official business, and have been landed
without payment of duty. The committee
mildly demonstrate with the Appraiser for
pleading ignorance of these abuses. Ii he
had no suspicion of what was going on, he can
hardly be very valuable officer, for even the
Surveyor, Deputy Surveyors, and Naval Officer
shared in the plumber. 1t would be interesting
to know how or where the commission draws
the line between gratuities and corruption on
the one hand, and samples and irregularity on
the other.
A great deal no doubt is explained by the
system of appointment Nearly ali the places
seem to have been filed by Congressman or
other prominent politicians, and these gentle

riots who had been receiving pay for read
cling the newspapers and talking politics" looked
Mt each other and said "lIc's carrying this
ching too far" And the lines OF the custom
house smile began to stilfen. Then came an
order discharging the weighers who didn't

the inspectors who didn't inspect, and the smile
froze several inches thick. To-day the whole
neighborhood is cooled by it.

TO SMILE 1t was a smile of incredulity, mixed
with confidence. But the gentlemen who asked
questions went over there and propoundcd
conundrums. They found among the smiling
PARROTS in that institution naval officer VINO

off as Lancaster; n surveyor who Is engaged
in the same honorable calling in Towanda,

Appraiser, engaged in the clothing busi-
ness In Philadelphia and New-fork; an
examiner who runs drug store; cap
tain of the night watch, who carries on
business as butcher, and daily inspector
who keeps hotel And the conviction is now
gaining ground in the Philadelphia Custom
House that the Administration is carrying TINS
thing too far.n TIE incredulOusness is fading
out of the Philadelphia smile, and it too be-
gins to show signs of congelation. 1t Will
freeze hard shortly, and there VIII be

unique collection of grOtesque statuary that
ever stared people in the face.
