Of many here that while MIR. Brady is
evidently acting with the sanction OF
Dcputy-Commissioner Wilson. and per-
hsps Secretary Gage. he has violated the
cvil-scrvice law and the recent order OF
the President, which requires written
CHARGES to be fled and a hearing granted
before the removal of any official.
None Of the other newly appointed col
lectors have dared to remove any of the
oncials in their district. except the chief
equities and the stamp clerks. as pro-
vded in the Presidents order. This dis

may be determined by the Treasury De-
