The Greeley Expedisisa.
Secretaries Chandler and Lincol,
we're IN consultation today referring I.
sending relief to the Greeley party.
Is impossible at this writing to stat,
positively what conclusion was reached
but 1t IS understood that information
has been received that the Greeley part,
IL supplied with provisions sufficient fo1
one year. and there is consequently ut
necessity OF starting a relief expedition
this fall. There will be another consul
tatlon this afternoon, at which DR.. Bes
sells will he present.
Lace smagxiers.
NEW YORK, Sept. lS.-Three ireuen
OF the steamer City of Berlin, arrested
on the charge of smuggling lace, have
been discharged. The examination dis
closed that customs inspectors followed
four men from the steamer 10 Willow
Wasps shop on Spring street, and there
took from each six packages of lace,
which were subsequently appraised at
the customs seizure rooms. The Gus
toms officers testified that they also
found IN the place thirty SIX other pack
ages OF lace. After appraisement all
the seized lace was thrown into bag,
none of it being marked. Several pack
ages were produced upon examination,
bat the custom officers on examination
were unable to identify single pack
age. After reviewing the evidence the
Commissioners of the Port said it WAS
evident in this case that the custom Of
fieers at the time they detained the ac-
cused had no intention of arrestiRg
them, their only object being to take
the laces found on their persons and let
them go without even marking the
goods for Identification or seeking to
learn from the accused whether they
were smuggling for themselves or some
one else. The arrest of the prisoners
Was an afterthought. Ii il is the policy
OF the government to let culprits 90
after taking smugRled property, then
the sooner the penal clause is repealed
the better, for it is scandalous to the
law-making power that the executive
department intended prevention Of
smuggling by imposing primitive SEN
ten,e upon guilty parties. The fault in
not bringing these men to justice, il
they be guilty, lies entirely With the in
spectOrs who are the complainants.
