THERE is no place in the world under
any government where 80 immense a
revenue is paid as at the custom house
in New York. A million of dollars in gold
coin is not infrequently received in sim
gle day, and the average for two thirds of
the secular days Of the year exceeds $780,
600. These enormous duties are paid on
imported articles that are consumed by
50, 600, 900 of American people.
OrT of 49, 900 federal Offices IN Mary
land, Republicans Of color hold only 80,
and out Of 5000, 600 salary they only get
$4,000. To 4 delegation Of this race
complaining of these things, Garfield said:
II do not concur with any principle that
excludes man from public service because
he is of one color or the other. do not
think the fact that il man is black entities
him to All office, or that a man should be
placed in Office because he is white. His
qualifications for an Office are, Of course,
the primary ground on which action ought
to be had, and in SO far as can prevent
the exclusion of people from their proper
share Of the functions of the government
because Of color l shall be very glad to
do so.'

Mr.. CLARK, Of Philadelphia, wants him
self written down an ass Oh the records Of
the Pennsylvania Legislature. He yester-
day introduced into the House a preamble
and resolution lauding Malone and culo.
gizing Cameron, and had read us part of
bis remarks the speech of Senator Came
ron, lately read in the Senate. Mr.. West
moved 10 amend by adding after Malone,
Mr.. Clark's name. Not agree to. Mr..
Bierly moved to attach rebel brigadier
and repudiator to Mahone's name. The
amendment was not received. Mr.. Rad
diman opposed th= whole thing as sensa-
tiona;, and moved to commit the matter
to the committee on federal relations. Mr..
Brown, Of Erie, said that when Malone
turned his back on the country and fought
against the Union, he ought to be de-
nounced, and he did not believe the reso-
lutions expressed the sentiment of the
people Of the state. Mr. Clark then with
drew the resolution but not until after he
was written down an ass.
