This completes the list of New-York rivers and

been expended by the National Government. 1t
will be observed that very large proportion of the
money was expended upon works which, In con-
junction with the canal system established and main
tanned by the State at her expense have been of
incalculabe benefit to the commerce of half-dozen
at least of the most populous and wealthy States OF
the West and Northwest and also that another
very large proportion has been used for the improve
ment of one great harbor which invites the COM
merce of the world. In round terms it may be SAID
that nearly $5500,000 was required to furnish har-
borsf the Interstate and International commerce

600 to improve the Hudson River outlet of that
system, and SO. 600 900 to provide for the safety

expenditures of the General Government have been

COMPLAINTS OF POTTERY Ma KERs.


| DISSATISFIED WITH TREASURY RULING ON THE TAR
| IFF LAVA MANUFACTURER on MIR. JAMES
| lBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE
| WASHINGTON, April 15.-The American pottery
manufacturers arc by no means reconced to the
decision OF Secretary Folger that section of
the new Tariff law become operative March 8,
| aud an argument in their behalf will be made be-
fore the Secretary tomorrow by ex-Representative
Robeson, with view of securing, if possible, o
| yersal of the decision.
The manufacturers hold that all the parts OF the
| law must be construed together and that single
section cannot be made the subject of separate
construction. Ihey say that in order TO carry out
| the recent ruling, it has been necessary for the
Treasury officers to inprovise q form of oath to be
| taken by the agent, importer or consgnee-a form
of oath which IS not provided by the law as it now
| stands and they declare that the officers have no
more right to do that than they would have TO
| change another part of the Tariff law.
The manufacturers also complain Jbav the recent
decision deprives them Uf every opportunity to ap-
peal to the courts for redress there is no ground
| upon which they can base an appeal and the I'M
porters and foreign manufacturers will OF course
| not appeal from adeclson wh3h gives them an ad-
vantage of about 10 per cent on all lmportations
| before July /. Had the decision been against the
| importers they might have paid the duties under
protest and then have gone to the courts for ju-
| dicial construction of the law.
The American manufacturers complain not only
of the Injustice of this particular ruling They as
sert that the rulings Of the Treasury Department
are uniformly adverse to the interests of American
man ufacturers aud favorable to the importers and
the agents of foreign manufacturers
To TRIBUNE correspondent recently prominent
Eastern manufacturer said: "There ought to be
change in the customs division of the Treasury De-
partment Mr.. James, who is at the head Off is
man of considerable ability and Assistant Secretary
French is completely under his influence ] under

ha nd In love with some of the New-York Custom
House brokers and it ~ notorious that they know
of any decision affecting the interests OF importers
or OF any investigation that is to be made III any
department of the New-York Custom House long
before the official information reaches the Col
lector of the Port. About u year ago an inquiry
was ordered into the crOckery department there,
and the brokers the street knew 1t before Col
lectvr Robertson did" The gentleman who made
the foregoing statement is perfectly responsible,
well as pie ~ thoroughly informed respecting the
matters of which he spoke.
Representative Brewer of New Jersey, who is
pottery manufacturer, and who is now IN Washing
Ton is greatly dissatisfied with the course pursued
by Mr. James, who lie declares, is Bpartia toward
the importer and the foreign manufacturer, at the
expeuse Of the American manufacturer.

A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
MENT AND THE RAILROAD OFFICERS.
fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-FOr year or more there
has been difference of opinion between the officers
of the Interior Department and the officers of the
Pacific Railroads to what constitutes the net

Some time ago the attorneys of that company pro-
posed to the Secretary of the Interior that an agreed
state of facts should be prepared and the case taken
70 the courts for a decision At first Secretary
Teller was disposed to assent to this but he after
ward declined, Oh the grounds that he doubted his
authority to do so, and that he might agree
to a state of facts which would afterward imperl
the interests of the Government. lie, therefore,
several weeks ago sent a letter to the Attorney
General in winch he Set out the grounds OF contro-
yer.y and requested that suit be brought against
the Union Pacific Company for the proper proper
tIon of the difference between the amount Whlch
the company comedies to be net earnings and the
amount which the Interior Department claims to
he due on the same account.
Secretary Teller said to-day that the main items
which make up the difference charges for re-
mars and main of the road, rolling stock,
etc The suit has not yet been brought and Secre-
tary Teller 10 not advised as TO when 1t Will be
