The New York Custom House NOmina-
tions.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
The following is the Presidents mes
sage sent to the Senate to-day relative
! to the nominations of Collector Arthur
and Naval Officer Cornell:
To the Senate:
| transmit herewith a letter of the
Secretary of the Treasury in rec ard to
the suspension of the late Collector and
Naval Officer at the port of New York,
with the accompanying documents In
addition thereto | respectfully submit
thefollowing 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 interest merely,
but is of great importance to the people
of the whole 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 several
years have been, employed in active
personal management of the party pol
itics of the city and State of New York.
The duty of the offices held by them
have been regarded as of subordinate
Importance to their partisan work.
Their offices have been conducted as q
part of the political machinery under
their control They have made the
Custom House the center of partisan
political management. The Custom
House should be a business office.
1t should be conducted on business
principles. Colonel James, Fostmas-
ter of New York City, writing on this
subject, says: "The Post-Oflice is a
business institution. aad should be run
as such. 1t is my deliberate judg-
ment that | and my subordinates
can do more for the party of our choice
by giving the people of this city good
and efficient postal service than by
controlling the primaries or debating
nominations. 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 prin-
cipal political agencies in the State of
New York. To change this, they pro-
fess to believe, would be, in the lam
guage of Cornell in his response. " to
surrender their personal and political
rights" Convinced that the people of
New York and the country generally
wish the New York Custom House to be
administered solely with the view to the
public interest, it is my purpose to do
all in my power to introduce into this
great office reforms which the country
desires. With my information of the
facts in the case, and with a deep sense
of the responsible obligations imposed
upon me by the Constitution to "take
care that thelaws be faithfully execu-
ted," l regarded it as my plain duty to
suspend the officers in question, and to
make the nominations now before the
Senate in order that the important of
flee may be honestly and efficiently ad-
ministered.

MRS. MOORE's PURCHASES.

Mayor Cooper remained in his Office at tho City
Hall until late hour last evening listening to the
developments in the matter OF the charges made by
Mrs. Mary Moore against Albert Kracncr. the al
legged proprietor of n mock auction establishment.
The proceedings yesterday opened by long
legal discussion between the opposing counsel.
Messrs. Halsey and Cochran for Kraeincr contended
that the complaint of Mrs. Moore should have been
made under the law of 1868 instead of under the
statute OF 1871. The lawyers claimed that in case
tho proceedings brought under the act of 1871
the Mayor had absolutely no Jurisdiction whatever
in the premises by the terms OF the law in question
the act alleged to have been committed by Kraemer
was misdeIneanor. and, of course, His Honor could
have no jurisdiction over such offence. After
hearing the points of Mr.. White. Mrs. Mooros
counsel, in opposition, the Mayor decided that he
thought law OF 1868 conferred sufficient power
upon him TO try the questions at issue, and he
would therefore proceed
Mrs. Moore then called and examined at great
length She reiterated her charges against Kraemer,
and gave complete history OF all her dealings with
him. She said tho defendant sold her furniture and
other goods for which he charget over SO 900.
What she bought had not proved to be what they
had been represented to be. She says that she has
lost nearly all her money through her dealings with
Kraemer.
The was adjourned for further hearing.

THE FARMERS CLUB.

At the meeting of the Farmers Club. yesterday
Mr.: y. II. Real spoke on the subject of forming
an American agricultural society similar to that
now existing in England. He stated that meeting
would be held this week to consider the subject.
Mr. Il. J. Dodge. the Vice President, said
that many farmers had formed the opinion
that 1t Is desirable to establish society, In which
every section OF the country shall be represented.
to advance American agriculture by practical
methods. He moved that a committee of fve be
appointed to consider the best method of furthering
tho scheme. Mr.. l.. =. Harding said that American
farmers did not have the influence they should have.
All that was needed was to form nucleus around
which the agricultursts OF the country could
gather. He moved that the club constitute
itself Committee OF the Whole instead
of fve. This motion carried. Mr.. Dodge
