GENERAL GLEANINGS.
Reduction of Expenses i'm the
Customs Service Necessary.

Reduction of Expenses i'm the
Customs Service Necessary.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-Fstimates
made at the Treasury Department in
dicate that the present rate of cx-
pense of collecting revenue from GUS
toms cannot be maintained up to the
close Of the present fiscal year under
the available balance OF general APP
preparation, without creating a def
cheney of $4,000. Secretary Fair
child has before determined upon the
reduction of expenses to that amount
during the remainder of the fiscal
year being at the rate of 100000 a
month. The reduction has been ap-
portioned among the different GUS
toms collection districts, and the COL
lectors have been instructed to read
just their salaries accordingly, so as
to bring the total expenses within the
limit fixed upon. AS the force can.
not be reduced in numbers without
seriously crippling the service, the
saving can only be effected by a
general reduction of salaries. Con-
gress will be asked to provide for SER
vice upon the present basis for the
balance of the fiscal year, and if that
is done the reduction will be only
temporary.

The Labor He Expended On
GRANTS ssPersOnal Memoirs"
New YoRK, March 20.-The San
will tomorrow publish Gen. Badeau's
version OF the controversy which has
arisen between himself and the Grant
family in regard to the claim Badeau
makes for compensation for services
to General Grant in the preparation
OF his Personal Memoirs. +" The state
ment is addressed to the American
Public" and fills several columns of
the San. Badeau defends his position
and is severe in his structures on the
course pursued by Colonel Fred. Grant
in the matter. He tells how much
time and hard unremitting labor he
gave to the work and how his own
book, on which he had spent sixteen
years, was injured by the success of
that of General Grants, which he
was also taking pains to make perfect.
~ did not write the original mat
ter" said he, "and in that sense did
not compose the book. The thoughts
were General Grants, and in most
cases the original draft of the lang
uage, but l suggested mu"h. l told
him when to insert descriptions Of
scenes, where to place an account OF a
character, how to elaborate a picture
OF battle, etc. discussed his state
ments and the advisability of his
expressions Of opinions and often
persuaded him to change the
one or modify the other
broke up sentences, | softened or
heightened the effect, corrected the
grammar and all with the knowledge
and sanction OF General Grant. I
always sought to preserve his simple
ity and directness and even rug ged
ness OF language, and never to betray
my own share in the work. He had
no idea whatever Of building up a
chapter or book, or Of treating a
theme so as to lead up to point or to
make complete picture Of arguments.
But the book could not have been made
what it is without me. There was no
one else who had both my peculiar
knowledge of the theme and the liter
ary quality. There was no one else
whom he would have allowed to do
what l did. But he knew how loved
him, and how devoted l was to his
fame, and he trusted all to me-.
would not have told what l am writ
ing now if it had not been extorted
from me by the imputations referred
to by his son."
Badeau claims that the letter Of dis
miesal was in the handwriting of Fred
Grant, with the exception of the sig
nature.
THE HERALD's COMMENTS.
The Herald, speaking of General
Badeau's statement editorially, speaks
of it as follows: General Badeau
AYERS that General Grant drugged the
deceased on the verge of the grave
and signed a letter written or i'm
properly inspired by his son, Colonel
Grant, which, had he been in his
right mind, he would not have signed.
The letter, however, exists in General
Grants handwriting, written in PEN

Labor.
The opponents OF the resolution, led
by Rogers, Of Arkansas, proceeded to
obstructive methods to prevent action.
After one roll call, O'Neil stated that
in order to remove the pretext under
which the gentlemen were resorting
to filibustering tactics, he was willing
to amend the resolution by striking
out the clause limiting the time Of de.
bate on each measure called up.
Rogers objected to the charge that
he was acting under any pretext. The
reason that he was offering obstruc-
ton was that the Committee on
Labor, with four bills on the calen-
dar, was asking to have four days
assigned when the appropriation bill
remained undisposed OF, and the
Committee on Ways and Means was
