THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE.
The Presidents Message in Regard to
Appointments.

WASHINGTON, January 81. The following
is the Presidents message sent to the senate
| to-day relative to the nominations of Collect
| or Arthur and officer Cornell:
To the Senate;
transmit herewith q letter of the secretary
of the treasury in regard to the suspension Of
the late collector and naval officer of the port
OF New York, with accompanying documents.
In addition thereto, respectfully submit fol-
lowing observations.
The custom house at New York collects
more than two thirds of all the customs rev.
enues of the government. The administra-
ton is matter not of local interest merely but
great Importance to the people Of the whole
country. For long period Of time this has
been used to manage and control the political
affairs. The officers suspended by me are,
and for several years have been engaged in
active personal management of party politics
in the city and State of New York. The du-
ties of the Offices held by them have been re-
garded subordinate in importance to party
work.
Their offices have been conducted as part
OF the political machinery under their con-
troll, and have made the custom house CEN
ter of partisan political management.
The custom house should be business of
flee conducted on business principles. Gen
James, postmaster of New York, writing on
the subject says
''The post Office is business institution
and should be run as such. 1t is my iudg-
ment that and my subordinates can do more
for the party of our choice by giving the peo-
pie of this city good efficient postal service
than by controlling 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 principal political agencies in the State of
New York.
To change this they profess to believe they
would be, in the language of Crowcll in his
response, 'To surrender their personal and
political rights" Convinced that the people
and country generally wish the New York
custom house administered solely with the
view of public interest it is my purpose to
do all in my power to introduce into this
great Office reforms which the country desire
With my information of the facts of the case,
and with deep sense of the responsible obl-
CATION imposed upon me by the constitution
to 'take care that the laws be faithfully exc
cuted," regard it as plain duty to suspend
officers in question, and make nominations
now before the senate, in order that this inn
portant Office may be honestly and efficiently
administered.
