Reduction of Custom House staffs.

A dispatch to the Boston Journal says:
Secretary Manning has appointed COM
mission to visit the different Custom Houses
and to ascertain whether or not there cannot
be considerable reductions in the force He
is not satisfied with the recent reports which
were forwarded by Collectors of Customs in
response to circulars from himself making
inquiries as to the extent of possible reduc-
tions without injury to the service. Mr..
Manning was disappointed at the unanimity
of opinion from Collectors thatnO considera-

made, and he thinks that the reports of the
