POLITICAL NOTES.

The funeral of the Tariff Bill has been merely
postponed.
Anybody can lead the Democratic party into
blunder, Mr.. Wood.
The Confederate Democracy is deficient IN every
thing except claims and appetite for spoils.
The Administration would show wisdom by aban-
doning platform architecture and focusing its mind
on a Collector for New-Oreans.
Mr. Tilden says he is private citizen and lot a
candidate for Governor or Senator. BY curious
coincidence Mr.. Hendricks has precisely the same
trouble.
A prominent Democratic Senator is credited with
saving: IF that House sits much longer it will
kill the Democratic party" IL should be allowed to
sit them and thus become the greatest Reform Con-
gress IN history.
The Southern Democrats have become SO earnest
on the subject of an income tax that they threaten
TO force Mr. Wood to abandon his tariff alterations
and favor the tax instead. They want not only as

have no doubt that the bellies of the settle

And the Indlansf We'll, as some one re-

And the plug hats would be useful for Matching

held conclusive by returning boards, can no
longer be found to testify. Precisely the same
objection would lie to an establishment OF the
rule that Presidential elections in future can
thus be reviewed. The killing or subornation
of witnesses, one, two, or even three years after
an election, might at any time disturb the
title of President, and plunge the country into
discOrd.
Certainly the public interest cannot be served
by reOpening this question, and establishing
the rule that such contests may at any time
be opened. The country wants peace. No.
body, except few crazy or malignant parti-
sans, desires renewal of the strife. There is
no doubt that sensible and patriotic Democrats
will take the same ground and refuse to re-
new the contest

+ NFW CUSTOM HOUSE SCANDAL.

In our Washington dispatches will be found
the details of recent investigation into GER
tain departments of the New Ork Custom
House. The inquiry was not ut all political,
and its results are hardly sensational, but
they disclose 8 state of things in the busl-
ness service of the Custom House needing
exclamation, at least 1t seems that number
of important eases are still pending against
the Government in which merchants claim
refund of duties alleged to have been illegally
exacted, and in which considerable sums have
already been recovered from the Government.
The whole amount involved is variOusly estl-
mated at from three-quarters OF million to
two and a half millions of dollars and OF this
amount General WoOdfOrd, who before believed
in the Justice of many, at least, of the claims
now declares not one dollar should he paid.
This conclusion he has reached, it is said, be-
causc the Investigation, ordered by Secretary
sherman, who has been resisting the payment
of these claims, shows that the papers OF the
Custom House have been grossly tempered
with, and brings out, also, apparently,
system of collision between the at
torncy who took large number OF
these cases in charge, and some OF the
officials. This tampering was necessary, be-
cause the merchants interested, having had no
idea of bringing suits until asked to do so by
n lawyer in search of living, had failed TO file
a protest mt the time the exactiOn OF excessive
duties was made and such a protest being
indispensable, the attorney proceeded to man
ufacture and attach it to the original entry, as
if it had been filed at the proper time
In this way he was able, by the
help of his cOnfcderateS in the Custom
House, to file protests ten years after the act
protested against to transfer signatures from
one paper to another, and to carry some of his
cases through court on papers whose traudu-
lent character was necessarily known to Gus
tom House employees.
These are disclosures which should be met
promptly, if they can be met at ALL They
should be met as much for the sake Of the
business community, which is vitIlly inter
eled III the integrity of the Custom House,
rs for that of respectable merchants, who will
learn this morning with establishment that
their flames have figured in frauds at
tempted by their attorney upon the Treasury.
There is not the slightest Evidence that
any of these gentlemen were cognizant of his
practices, and not the least probability that
they were. But it is none the less essential
that we should know the whole truth about
the matter.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1878-04-20

much revenue as they have now, but more, so tnat
there will be fat treasury to draw on for claims.
II il whispered from Washington, that it was
Senator Thurman from Ohio. who called on Senator
Conkling to warn him of Lamar's derrngers, and Oh
the bloody purposes the chlyalrlc Southron eher-
ished Mr. Thurman IS said to have been very much
alarmed by the buster, and to have tried 10 alarm
ConkliDg.
There is good deal of unnecessary discussion
about the origin of the Electoral Tribunal scneme'
II does not matter who was its author. The main
point is that it was adopted by Democratic votes,
and that Democrats have sworn at 1T and yelled
fraud ever since its solution proved not to be the one
they had counted ON.
General Ewing is almost as unfortunate fisher
man as Glover. He is summoning bankers to Wash
ington for the purpose of proving that Secretary
Sherman can't resume, and is succeeding triumph
antly in proving by them that resumption IS en-
tirely possible and will be permanent If the imam
cers of the Ewing school be kept from mischief
1t begins to look as if Ewing had spent enough of
the public money in vain effort to find some re,
spectacle authority on finance who can be Dadgered
into agreement with himself
The natural inference is made that the bogus in
terview with Senator Conkling was put out at this
time for the express purpose of bOstering Blars
fraud bill. This belief is strengthened by the APP
pearance of large numbers of newspapers containing
every member of Congress for the supposed purpose
of influencing his Judgment. The movement IL deS-
perate enough to show how hard pushed the parry is
for an issue to attract the attention OF the country
away from Glover and the misdeeds OF Congress
1t seems to be an appropriate moment for the
National Democracy to congregate somewhere and
reahirm that plank of the st. Louis platform which
denounccs the " financial imbecity" of the Repub-
lican party in making no advance toward rcsump-
ton, " and calls for the repeal of the Resumption
Act as a hindrance TO speedy return to specie
PAYMENTS" With that declaration as basis the
party can 90 into the Fail campaign with dead
certainty of coming ont with frst-cass defeat on
ITS shoulders. The financial imbeclllty OF the
Republican party is mighty popular article JUST
now.
There ought TO be agreement among the
Democrats concerning their method of treating tins
question of Southern claims. The Northern editor
of the party press lodges the whole subject with
either feeble sheer or total sence.S In the South
there are two distinctly antagonistic ways of
meeting it, One is to say that the South is entitled
to its share of aid from the Government, thus adj
hitting the commences of the raid IN Its full dimen
slODs and the other to charge that all the claims
at present before Congress made by pr0iessedly
loyal persons, and that the Solid South has no In
tcrest whatever in them. The second plea Is even
more disastrous than the first because 1t Is papa
blv false If the Solid South is not interested why
are its Congressman presenting these Ollls ana
voting solidly for their paymentf
