TITS reported from Washington that the
appropriations committee of the House, OF
which Mr.. Randallis chairman, will make
even smaller appropriation for coast de-
fences this, than it did last year. t,s hoped
this report may be true. Sun defences are
entirely ii as no nation with good
sense will ever attempt to land troops on
the coast of this country. But were 1t other
wise, to defend the whole of the immense
coast would be utterly impossible, and to
leave any of it undefended would be to
throw away tho money that had been ex.
pended In defending the other parts, IS
line of defence, like bridge, is only as
strong as its weakest part.

another bill which is causing good deal of
comment from members Of the Richmond
bar, that provides that the commissioners Of
chancery shall reside within the jurisdiction
of the court which appoints them.
A very important bill which was reported
from the House Committee for Courts of
Justice to-day, was one which, if it becomes
q Law, will remove the friction between the
State and Federal courts in cases where the
property of peddlers has been attached
when the peddler has rendered coupons in
payment of license.
Ex.Attorney General Frank S.Blair was in

COLLECTOR GUSHING.
Charges Against Him Filed by the Dep
uties

WAsHrSsros, Dec. 20.
The report of Special Agent Byrne in the
case of the charges against Collector cssh-
ing of Camden, Of the Belfast customs dis
trict, has been received. Ii appears that the
charges against Mr.. Cushing of selling dep
uty ships to the highe., bidder" were made
to Special Agent Montgomery last septem-
ber, by tx. Deputy 7. A. Hunt of Camden,
but that the Investigation was delayed till
after election, when Special Agent Byrne
was sent to Camden, Belfast and Searsport
to investigate.
Special Agent Byrne submits the aifidavits
Of exDeputy T. A. Hunt and E. Frank
knowltOn of Camden, Deputy Couant and
Mr.. Pottle and others of Belfast and Deputy
Carver of Searsport and others, together
with the affidavit Of Collector Gushing in re-
ply to the charges, and numerously signed
certificate of Mr.. Cashings high character
from his neighbors. The special agent ub-
mits the affilavits and makes no recommen-
dation.
Ex-Deputy Hunt charges that before his
appointment as deputy he saw Mr.. Cushing
in the fall Of 1886 who intimated to him
that he had been to con siderable expense in
obtain " his Office of collector, and that
persons who were to be appointed deputies
should assis in meeting these ex-
penses; that after negotiations he
agreed to pay Gushing $50 and to employ
his daughter as Clerk at salary of S25 per
month for the appointment asDeputy that he
HUNT was appointed and paid 500 of the
$3.50 to Gushing and employed his danshte
for eight months but tnat he did not pay the
last $50 because, on account of a reduction
of Deputies by the Department at Washing
ton. he lost his office.
f. Frank knowlton, esq, in his affidavit,
alleges that he was candidate for Deputy
that Cushing said TO him substantially the
same as he did to Hunt; that he agreed TO
part Of the arrangement; but that he did not
get the appointment.
Deputy Conant at Belfast, in his affidavit,
makes no allegations against Gushing.
Deputy Carver at Eastport, in his affida.
Wit admits giving Cusbi X $50.
In reply Collector Gushing denies that he
ever received from any one compensation
for appointment as deputy and says that
before he appointed Hunt and Conant, he
said in the presence of both that he should
appoint them but he wished them to under
stand that he appointed them on their merits.
The secretary of the treasury has taken o
action on the report but his remarks on it
indicate that Gushing will be removed.
