Custom House Reforms.

One of the cases which the Republicans
have been harping upon as injustice to
good official, discrimination against brave
soldier and violation of what are called the
presidents "civil ser, ce reform pledges" "
was the removal of John f. Hartranft,
from the collectorship of customs in Phila-
delphia and the appointment to succeed
him of John Cadwalader. The new collec-
tor has been the subject of unremitting at
tack from the Republican organs, and
nothing that malice, malignity and men,
dacity could find or invent has been spared
to break down the new administration.
Both of these lines of discussionare at
once met and answered by the plain, bust.
ness-like statement which the collector
makes of the operations of his Office for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1856. The last
twelve-month has not been a year of spe-
cial business activity; and the highest eff
cheney and integrity of the new administra-
ton could not show the results set forth in
this report, unless by comparison with a
previous administration grossly lacking in
one or both of these qualities.
The integrity and economy Of the past
administration are at once challenged by
the comparison that the number of days
for which absentees received pay in a year
of Hartranft's s exclusive control was four
fold that of a year in which Mr.. Cadwalader
had entire direction of the custom house
management.
But even this is not sufficient to explain
the enormous decrease on the cost of COL
lecting duties from 3.42 per cent. under
Hartranft to 2.70 per cent. under Cad
walader. Whya Republican administra-
tion should cost over % per cent. more
than Democratic is one of the things
Mr.. Cadwalader was appointed to find
out.
There has been an increase in imports
from s29,9l9,0l9 to $50, ,56l, ,799; and of
duties collected from sl2, ,49l ,5l3.35 to s1I.-
66l ,S96.0I besides an increase in the
amount of duties due the United States on
merchandise lying in the warehouse at the
close of the year from s7S3, ,826.27 to $3.50
473.6s. In the same period the expenses of
collection were decreased from $i2S, ,336. .9C
to $i03, ,57I7i.
1t will be very hard to convince anybody
that these figures do not show cause for
suspicion of something more serious than a
weak and inefficient administration of Col
lector Hartranft. He was VIGOROUSLY an
unfit man for the many high positions he
held. But this impregnable showing of
undeniable figures has a broader significance
than to point his individual incompetency.
1t shows reform methods of business ad
ministration that business men can under,
stand and honest people appreciate.

A Little More OF the Same Sort.

II will he remembered that the clerks in
the postal railway mail service some time
ago made complaint and talked about
striking because they thought they were
being discharged too rapidly. The report
of the postmaster general shows that on
June 80, 1856, there were in the service
i,563 of these officials there were during
the year 5O3 removals, 222S of these being
for partsanship.
Considering how this force was organ.

Enemies of the Race.

At last one point in the dogma of the
Chicago Anarchists is discovered whercon
everybody can heartily agree with them.
1t is said that at meeting held last October
they adopted the following resolution
Death to the enemies of the human race,
our despoilers. " Certainly, by all means
death to them. Who are they ? Where
are they? 1t is intimated that these enc
mics OF the human race are human beings
and therefore must be enemies of them
selves as members of the human race. All
will agree that such an enemy should be
promptly killed and stuffed. These enemies
are a natural monstrosity of extremely rare
occurrence and modern history has few
recorded. Attila and his Huns, Nero, Cali.
-ula or any other monster of antiquity
ton should appear on the stage in the
'ent' century would be promptly
nd if the Anarchists have
seven Laneasn enemies of the human race
n---,'.- as clearly stamped, people
IN general would cheerfully aid in their de-
ftruction before the court can appoint a
commission to determine their insanity.
The Anarchial resolution sounds very
much like the cry of " stop thief, - that a
flying rascal raises to throw his pursuers
off the track; and if there be any enemies
Of the human race they are the men whose
creed is anarchy and whose only mission is
TO attack the officers of the law with mur-
derous intent.
Those officers are part of the barrier
raised by the human race in America for
their protection against their enemies, law.
iessness and disorder and by opposing them
the Anarchists declare themselves.

From the New Y Iork Herald.
A majority of the Senate yesterday fol-

ten cents is of minor consequence. 1t is lot

Is an enactment against one industry
tor the benefit of another. This fac,
has been made obvious by the arguments OF
even the advocates of the measure, and was
frankly avowed by Senator Miller, its ch am
piou in the Senate. Had his colleagues been
equally frank and declared the true purpose
OF the bill in its title the supreme court could
not hesitate to set aside the law If it should
receive executive approval AS it is Congress
