The Island Pend Question.
Proposed Restoration of the Brissow
Order.

The Washington correspondent of the Boston
Advertiser sends the following despatch con-
cern'ng the question of sealed cars for mer-
chandse and the collectors fees at Island
Pond:
Senators Edmunds aud Morriu Of Vermont
at the Instance of the collector of customs at
Island Fond, Vermont, have made application
to the Secretary of the Treasury to have re-
versed the order of the department issued over
q year ago permitting goods transported through
the United States from Canada for expectation
from Portland, Boston or New York, to be car
ried through IN sealed cars to the port from
which they are to be exported without examin-
alton or entry at the custom-house a. Island
Pond, VT This is an old controversy which
has been considered by the department. many
times and given no end of trouble The real
question involved is that of fees for the collec-
tor at Island Pond. When Mr.. Bristow was
Secretary of the Treasury he reversed the form
er action OF the department, and issued an or
der requiring al entry of all such goods
to be made at the first port on the from
tier, which was Island Pond. The Can
adian government Immediately protested
against the ruling, aud Sir Edward Thornton
also submitted protest against the order,
maintaining that it was not in accordance with
the stipulations of the treaty of Washington,
but was direct violation OF said treaty. He
demonstrated against the sealed cars being
stopped at Island Pond, the goods uuloaded
and examined for the purpose Of making an en-
try OF the same, as it occasioned not only great
delay but led to considerable expense. When
the Hon. Lot M Morrill, succeeded Mr.. Bristow
as Secretary of the Treasury he gave the sub
ject very careful attention, and became fully
satisfied that the order issued by MFR. Bristow
was, in iact contrary to the treaty of Wash
ington. He accordingly revoked it, and
decided that goods in sealed cars destined
for expectation could ba sent from any
point in Canada through the United States
to the ports from which they were to be
exported. The order issued by Mr.. Morrill,
has remained in force ever since, and worked
to the entire satisfaction of the Canadian
authorities. Senator Edmnuds, in asking to
have the matter reopened, claims that the Or
der of Mr.. Brstow stopping aud unloading the
cars at Island Pond was not contrary to the
treaty of Washington, and that the present sys-
tenn of permitting the cars to 90 through to
Portland or Boston without examination results
IL considerable loss of revenue to the govern
ment. Secretary Sherman has the subject un-
der consideration and will probably come to
some conclusion during the early part of next
week. 1t appears that while the present plan
works to the entire satisfaction of the shipper
otigoods, ,thecollector at Island Pond is deprived
OF a large amount of fees which otherwise
would accrue to him. 1t is claimed that the
fees which under Mr.. Bristow's order would
have been paid to theicollectors at Islasd Pond
are now paid to the collectors at Portland and
Boston, and this is the source of all the trouble

The Case Of Fltz John Porter.

Our special dispatches from Washington,
John Porter propose to make another move in
his behalf now, aud feel "saagujne that the
President will, if tho law dos5 not prevent,
order his case reopened" In this connection
the following incident may be OF interest. A
few years ago the comrades of tbs Fifth Maine
Caualry regiment which has a record secon d
to none in the grand old army of the Potomac,
and regiment which served all through the
campaign OF General Pope. held a reunion in
Portland, Me. When the comrades assembled
they found some documents there awaiting
their approval, the purport of which was to
ask that the case of Fitz Johu Por-
ter be re-opened. There was at first disposition
to agree to this-the war was long over, Porter
was an old comrade in arms, everybody else had
been forgiven, and it might be as we'll if the
dark cloud were lifted from him. After some
talk, pro aud con, comrade (whose name we
can give if necessary arose and made his little
statement, with a soldiers straightforwardness
substantially as follows:
81 was an orderly at Gen. Pope's headquarters.
About 10 O'Clock, Il should think of the morning Of
the first day of the second battle of Bull Run. L
started with written order from Gen. Pope to
Gen. Fitz John Porter. There was quite squad
with me, but carried the order. We found Porter
lying down in his tent, with his hands under his
head, and the officers of his staff lying round |
gave him the order ne read it and sad "Give my
compliments to Gen. Pope and tell him L will move
shortly L went back to Pope's headquarters and
found everything was in action. Soon after two of
us were sent with second order verbally, to Gen.
Porter to move Immediately as we were pressed on
both anks ami in the centre. reached Porter first
the other orderly being lett in the rear. Found
him in the same place and gave him the order. He
replied, 'Gve my compliments to Gen Pope and tell
him shall move aohen get ready. That night we
fell back, Porter was in the same place as when
gave him the order with his troops in line and tents
up, as if getting ready to move"
When the soldier got through his story, as
an ye-witness tells it, 'silencs reigned, great
hush fell upon the assembled multitude, until
finally. somebody moved to indefinitely post.
pone the subject, which was done unanimous
ly." And loyal soldiers eonversant with the
facts will hope that the President also, will
indefinitely postpone the subject"

The Tribune ALMANAC.

The Tribune Almanac for 1873 is handbook
that everyone interested tn public affairs will
refer to thousand times in the course of
year. 1t has been edited by the Hon. Edward
Mcpherson, and is filed with information use
full to business men as well as to politicians.
The election returns of every State and Terrific
ry are arranged alphabetically, and contain the
freshest information. The preliminary mate
rial is exceedingly interesting, comprising the
Presidents Inaugural, digest of the Party
Platforms of the State Conventions, record of
the constitutional changes in various States, an
abstract of public laws, and many other feat
ures. Special pains have been taken with the
commercial and Government statistics, which
are more useful and complete in this than in
any previous issue. The Chapter on Gold, Sill
yer and Coinage contains information of PRESS
ing interest. Within the compass of 115 pages
there is much that every one needs to know.

THERE is feeling that Chief Clerk Gal
pin of the Indian Bureau has been used i'll.
He was suspended on certain charges brought
against him, but the nature of those charges
he was not permitted to know. A commits
sion was appointed to investigate the charges,
but he was not allowed to appear before it or
to hear the charges or the evidence against
him. AT the conclusion Of the hearing a COPY
of the testimony was given to him and he was
allowed to prepare defence on condition
that he consulted no lawyer. He was sus-
pended for not forwarding complaints. These
seem TO be the facts:
cit appears that sometime in May last two or
three letters came to Galpin containing charges
of irregularities against certain contractors sup
plying the Pawnee agency. At the time Gal.
PIN was hard pressed with work. The commits
sioner was absent and he locked the letter up
in his desk along with some private papers,
He was shortly atterward suspended by Schurz
and seems to have forgotten all about the let
ters in his desk. Before the investigation had
progressed tar he thought of the papers, end
delivered them to the ommissioner Of Indian
affairs"

The Temperance cause was never more prosperous
in the State than now, for which we should be most
profoundly grateful Still there are important sub
jects which will demand our attention. Shall we
ask for any change or amendments in the Pr0hibi-
tory Law? Shall protest against granting license
to sell Intoxicating liquors to the druggists? Shall
we ask for any more stringent penalties be nict-
ed upon persons found intoxicated? These, and
other important questions will doubtless demand the
attention of the convention.
Let there be general rally. The usual reduction
of fare on the railroads may be expected.
