THE CTSTOM house DISPUTE.

The Senate having removed the injunction
of secrecy resting upon the letters
of General Arthur and Secretary Shcr-
man, the whole correspondence in which
the question of General Arthur's efficiency as
Collector is debated is made public. The let
ters. which will be found on another page,
urge all that can be urged, probably. on each
side of the controversy, and afford means for
a fair judgment of its merits.
Secretary Sherman shows that both the Prcsi-
dent and himself came into Office full of the con-
victIon that reform was necessary in the Custom
UOusc. and anxious to secuIc ii in the shortest
pos.ible time. There were charges i'll the
prcss against the management, and the ey-
penditurcs were increasing while the revenue
was diminishing. The Custom House was
found to contain more than one thou
sand permanent employees, not including
those of the Appraisers Department,
and a reduction of 20 per cent in
that number was recommended by the jay
Commission and opposed by General Arthur.
The Collector believed that reduction of
more than II per cent would I'M
pair the efficiency of the service, but
was Overruied and the Secretary de
clares that the whole reduction was
accomplished, effecting an annual saving of
S23J, 900, and increasing, instead of impair
ing. the efficiency of the Customs ser
wee. All of Secretary Shcrmans charges
against General Arthur are Of this
same general nature, seeking to show
that abuses existed which he did not
attempt to correct, and that reforms were
forced through which he persistcntly opposed
or sullenly neglected. Ii was found to be Il

SO essential that the public should
have absolute confidence in the compa-
nies and their management, that 1t would DO
very great mistake for the Legisla-
ture to seem to avoid giving them the
most searching examination. Nearly all
the companies passed successfully through
the ordeal, and the result was generally
to their advantage in restoring public CONT
dcnce. But there were not lacking even then
whispered suspicious that the influence OF
these powerful corporations had been exerted
upon the Legislature to secure favorable ac-
ton. The suspicion of corruption in the case
of Mr.. Noycs's company is well enough defined
to Justify further investigation. Indeed,
if the allegations concerning Mr.. Noyes'S
check book be true. We do not see how the
Legislature can avoid it. And even if money
cannot be traced directly to members 1t Will
be interesting to know who had $4,000 or
$35, 600 of the money of the policy-holders OF
this insurance company, and for what purpose
il was used.

"thc sum representing the appointment

posted which led the Democrats to think

The Cincinnati Musical Festival Association has
announced new scheme for the encouragement Of
American Art, which is destined, We believe, to
exert frutfu influence. 1t offers prize Of 81 900
for the best work for chorus and orchestra composed
Ey native of the United States. The prize is to be
awarded by committee of five Judge under the
presidency of Theodore Thomas, and the successful
work is to be performed at the Cincinnati Musical
Festival in 1880 The Association will undertake
rhe publication of the prize composition. or II there
he two of nearly equal merit 1t will pay the cost of
printing both: : but the author will retain the copy
right This seems to us a very important and llb-
crai movement. There has been no encouragement
for an American musician until now to devote hm-
self 10 the more serious side of his art except snch
satisfaction As he can find in putting fine thoughts
upon papor with the hope that postcrity may listen
to what he has little chance of hearing himself
Musical societies which haveb rely vitality enough
to attempt an occasional standard Oratorio will not
look ut an American work, and dealers of course
will not publish what they cannot sell The Gin
cmnati Festival Association offers the successful
composer double s.nulus-the certainty of publi-
cation and the still more important assurance OF
an ADEQUATE public Interpretation. For the present
we suppose the competition is likely to he narrowed
down to few well known composers whose names
will readily 10 all persons of musical taste ;
but IN very few years If this offer is to be perodi-
cally renewed the Influence of such emil ghtened
project will be very marked
There is one Congressional measure which every
nan of sense and dscernment in either House ought
TO yot.. for. 1t Is the bill recommended by the
United States Postal Conference, which was held
in this city last October. 1t has received the APP
proyal of the Post Office Department and of repre-
sentative business men In York, Boston PhIla-
delphia and Chicago, and will tend 10 promote
the efficiency of the service by simplifying
the existing laws The main features of the
bill are these: (l) Uniformity OF rate, 2
cents per pound, on all newspapers and
perodical publications which are authorized
to be sent at pound rates; ~ uniformity of rate at
all post offices l3 uniformity Of rate for all copies
of newspapers and periodicals mailed by the pub
Usher from the office Of publication. Ii will enable
publishers to send sample copies at pOund rates the
same as regular editions, and will benefit all classes
by establishing uniformity in the postal regua-
tons In no department of the Govern
ment is simplicity essential in the
postal service, and by passing this bill Con-
gress will give publishers law which everybody
will understand. and which nobody will seek to
evade. The principle of the bill may be compressed
into single sentence: uniform rates at all post
Offices for all copies of newspapers and periodicals.
II ls a useful and equitable law. No member Of
either House should vote against it, and its passage
should not be delayed.

The Virginia Senate has adopted, by a
unanimous vote, the extraordinary series of
notification resolutions which were recently
presented to that body. These resolutions
assert the broadcst possible view of State
sovereignty. They deny the right of the Cen
eral Government to protect citizen IN life.
liberty or property. or the exercise of rights
where the State claims jurisdiction declare
the legislation which has grown out of the
Constitutional Amendments to be null and
void deny the right of the General Govern
mcnt to enforce the decisions of its own
judiciary where the State interposes its veto,
etc, etc. These fulminati0ns are quite as
effective rs a bull against q comet, but coming
IN the unanimous voice of the upper branch
of the Virginia Legislature, they are instruct
i've indications of the tendencies of unregcn-
crate Southern sentiment.
