THE NEW custom NOISE.

An active Tammany campaign is in progress
at Albany against The building OF the new Gus
tom House III this city which has been author
ized by the National Government. An iupOr-
tant aud necessary bill, 10 perfect the Goycin-
mcnts title to the land that will be required,
is DELAYED in the Legislature by every device
that prejudice and enm,y in regard to a great
public Improvement can suggest. The enemies
Of the bill are doing all they can N this oppo-
sition to iDjure the Interests OF Newly oIkclS,
and to postpone as long a possible stately
enterprise, which will be OF vast advantage 10
the metropolis. The plain truth IN the case is
that Tammapy Hall is unwilling that the chlci
city OF the comfy shall be beautiied and benc-
fitted, if the beauty and benefit are to come
through tho agency Of a Republican AdnlniSiia-
ton. It is petty and mean spirit indeed which
the Wigwam is maniieSting.
Some GOOD people are afflicted by mistaken
impression. too that the proposed Custom House
will destroy the little bowling Green park and
thus eiTace precious memories OF the colonial
and Revolutionary days. Nothing OF the sort IS
intended The Congressman from this city and
state democrats as well is Republicans lend
ing then add, with the earnest cooperation Oh
Senators Eyarts and lliScoci, have succeeded in
carrying through a bill. by which Si.OOO'Ooo

of the National Goyornmcnt. This cdiiicc Will

THE AIR.GARDEN IN THE SENATE.

The citizens Of Ncw-lOIk turn with conf
dencc to the sober and Sedatc senate for relief
from the danger into which the haSty folly OF
the Assembly has brought them. Without wait
ing to learn the views OF the city officials Oh the
matter, or without attempting to discover the
drift. of public sentiment, the lower house Of the
Legislature rushed through a bill which pro-
poses to dislguIc the finest avenue on Manhat-
tan Island with an architectural mOnstrosity
that no person Of taste can look upon without
Shuddcring, and TO poison the water supply OF
our people By changing reservoir at the very
centre OF the city into Shiny pool full OF all
manner Of creeping things. Surely the Senate
NAV be trusted to dispose of Scheme which has
no support Of popular favor, which Is condemned
by the press OF Newly Ork, with single not UNI
selfish exception, and which is revolving to
every sense. TIE job is denounced by the fore

There is some mystery about the time when
the next land lasD hearing upon the lllll-Schaaff
Excise bill is to be given by the Assembly Elk
else Committee. 1t is to take place this week,
but even Chairman Earl will not admit that he
knows on what day. Does this mean that the
liquor men are to have chance TO present their
case and that no opportunity for replying is to
be accorded to the opponents OF this most bane-
full measure? That is the way it looks: but
even tie author OF the bill-we alude, Of course,
to ID. B. Hill-must perceive that there could
be nc surcr way of hurting his case.
