If credence can be placed in the report
emanating from the columns of the New
York and Washington papers, and con-
frmed by principal correspondents at the
National Capital, President Arthur will
soon endeavor to ill the Office of Collector
of the port of New York with ex-senator
Thomas C. Plat. Just how Collector
Robertson is to be retired does not appear
clearly, but it is asserted he is being coaxed
and tempted into amiable acquiescence by
the tender of desirable foreign mission.
If President Arthur is serious on the sub
ect, it might not be inappropriate
to remind him that New
York Custom House squabble has but re-
Gently cost one President of the United
States his life. 1t does not follow, of course,
that another sQuabble would cause the
murderous piece of history to repeat itself,
but it is always wisdom to be on the safe
side against all contingencies. And it is
decidedly doubtful if Mr.. Platt could be
confirmed, should the reported contem-
plated change prove correct.
