The Presidents Message to the Senate Re-
rardinC the New York Nominations.

The Presidents Message TO the Senate Re-
garding the New York Nominations.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-The following
is the Presidents message sent to the Sen
ate to-day. relative to the suspension of
Collector Arthur and Naval Officer Cor
nell:
Il transmit herewith a letter of the Sec
retary of the Treasury in regard to the
suspension of the late Collector and Naval
Officer of the port of New York. with ac-
companying documents. In addition
thereto | respectfully submit the following
observations: The custom house in New
York collects more than TWO thirds of all
the customs revenues of the government.
Its administration is . matter not of local
interests merely, but is of great impor-
tance to the people of the country. For a
long period of time it has been used to
manage and control political !affairs. The
officers suspended by me are, and for sew
eral years have been, engaged in the ac-
tive personal management of the party
politics of the city and State of New York.
The duties of the Office held by them have
been regarded as of subordinate impor-
tance to their partisan work. Their offices
have been conducted as part of the poll
tical machinery under their control. They
have made the Custom House center OF
partisan political management The Gus
tom House should be business office; II
should be conducted on business principles,
Col. James, Postmaster of New York
| City, writing on this subject, says;
The postofice is a business institution,
and should be run as such. 1t is my de-
liberate judgment that l and my subordl-
mates can do more for the party of our
choice by giving the people OF this city q
good and efficient postal service, than by
controlling primaries or debating nomina-
tions." The New York custom house
should be placed on the same footing with
the New York post Office, but under the
suspended officers the custom house would
be one of the principal political agencies
in the state of New York. To change
this, they profess to believe would be, in
the language of Cornell, in his response,
to surrender their personal and political
rights. Convinced that the people of
New York and of the country generally
wish the New York custom house to be
administered solely with view to the pub
lie interest, it is my purpose to introduce
into this great Office the reforms which
the country desires. With my information
of the facts in the case. and With q sense
of the responsible obligations imposed
upon me by the constitution to take care
that the laws be faithfully executed, re.
garded it as my plain duty to suspend the
officer 10 question and to make the nomi-
nations now before the senate, in order
that this important Office may be honestly
and efficiently administered.

An Astonishing Fact

A large proportion of the American peo-
pie are to-day suffering from the effects OF
Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result
of these diseases upon the masses of 10
telligent and valuable people is most
alarming, making life actually burden in-
stead of a pleasant existaGee Of enjoyment
and usefulness as it ought to be. There
is no good reason for this, if you will only
throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take
the advise of Druggists aud your friends,
aad try one bottle of Green's August
Flower Your speedy relief is certain.
Millions of bottles of this medicine have
been given away TO try its virtues, with
satisfactory results in every case. You
can buy sample bottle for ten cents TO
try. Three doses will relieve the worst
case: Positively sold by all Druggists on

Secretary sherman's Answer to Arthur
Letter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. SecretarySher-
mans letter to the President in reply to
Arthur is very long. He repeats that his
allegations stated in the Department letter
of the 18th inst, are susceptible OF the
clearest proof, and says the Department is
prepared to verify them if tits the pleasure
of the Senate to give the opportunity. If
it is to be held that to procure the removal
of Arthur it is sufficient to reasonably es-
tablish that gross abuses of administration
have continued and increased during his
incumbency; that many persons have been
regularly paid on bis rolls who rendered
little or no service: that the expenses of his
Office have increased while the collections
have been diminishing; that br!bes, or
gratuities in the nature of bribes, have been
received by his subordinates in several
branches Of the Custom House; that efforts
to correct abuses have not met his support,
and that he has not given to the duties OF
the Office the requisite diligence and atten-
ton, then it is submitted that the case is
