CUsTOM-HOUsE NOTES.

Con. McMillen returned to the city yesterday
from Ohio,
According to the most reliable information
obtainable there will not be- more than forty
changes made In the Custom House by the
Smith family on or about the first proximo.
Judge Woods. of the United States Circuit
Court, passed through the city yesterday on his
way to Atlanta, Ca. where he holds court dur
ing the present week. Associate Justice Brad
ley, Of the United States Supreme Court. and
Judge Billings. Of the United States District
Court. are expected to arrive to-day.
Some Of the curious seem to think that the
objection raised in the United States Senate the
other day TO Consul Packard's nomination will
defeat him, while those who are acquainted
with the order Of such things know that 1t only
goes over one week or until the next executive
session when most likely the nomination will
be confirmed.
The seizures made by the customs officers
during the month to date IRE as follows: May
6. steamship Soudsr. AZ packages cigarettes
May Ii, steamship City Of New York. 20 looking
glasses II boxes Jelly. GA undershirts. 1877 pack

schweig 80 bottles liquor. 6 boxes cigars; May
CAGES brandy.
The Customhouss saeherns. IA we'll as the
