this point was developed among the mem

This table covers seven Collectors under
,bo administrations of BUCHANAN, LINCOLN,
JOHNSON, and GRASr, extending over
pcriod of twenty years. but omlts the term
Of Preston KING during 1865 and 1860 which,
however. would not affect the results. Cen
ARTHUR has had the longest continuous ser

that the number of removals under him was
Dut niue greater IMAM that ""''e- -
DRAPER. who he Office for only one year
and much less than half Of that under his
immediate predecessor Mr.. MURPHY, who
held Office for eighteen months.
These facts are furnished by Mr. JAYS
commission. and they certainly go far to
blunt the harsh criticism Of the professional
civil service rctormcrs, who have harped SO
constantly on PARTISAN management OF the
Custom House. The comparison with every
! Collector from 1857 down to the present time,
! whether Democratic, Republican. or mixed
ia tho matter of removal, Is altogether IN
favor of Gen. ARTHUR; ana after all that has
been spoken and written CA this subject, il
is "A surprising exhibit

the cost of collection. under all the Collect

term of Mr.. KING, which is not mentioned il
