An Examining Commission of Engineers to Inspect the Chicago Cus- tom-House, Twenty-five Millions of the Now Fives Absorbed by tho Byndieate. SHIPMENTS IN BOND, COLLPCTOR JUDD ON THYE DAMAGE ALLOWANCE QUEKTION, Bpectal Dispateh tn The Chicago 2ribusie, ‘Wasmxorox, D, 0., May 17.—Tho Secretary of tlo Treasury somo weoks since forwarded a cironlar lotter to each Collector of Custoins, re- questing s roply to tho question whethor it is or is not practicablo to mako within ten daya from the original importation at tho flrst port duo ex- amination for allowancos of dnmages incurred on tho voyags of importation a8 to merchiandiso intended for immediato tronsportation undor the provislony of tho act of July 14, 1870, .'To tho list of responses from QCollectors thoro wos sdded to-dsy the roply of Callector N. B, Judd, of OQlicsgo, Tt is n lengihy argument, Judge Burnliam saya it con- taius many strong points. The following 1 a briol aunlysis of its chiot positions: 'Cholaw showa that merchandise dostined for interior ports is under tho control of the officers of the Government until delivered,to tho Collectar at tho port of final destinntion.” The fmporter hus no nght to examino or control tho goods until tho arrival at tho port of destination. THE VOYAUL ONLY TENMINATES with the delivery at the fiual port. Tt is o violation of law to attompt to diecover whethor damagos hiave accrued until the arrival at tho fingl purt. Damages can only be deter- wined at tho time of lrllrll!l!m':nh Immediate transportation is a right, and not a privilege. No appralsomont can Lo made at apy otlier than tho fual port, Tho lew not only forbida tho ofi- cers ot tho port of srrival from oponing tho morchandiso, but enjoins dispatek in immedis ately formarding the same, The port of final destination is the end of the voyago aud the port of sutry for such merchandiso. ~ Ono of the in- cidents ot the appraisowont is tho dstermination of the damago allowauce. Tho examination nt the port of arrival ia only for tho VEDIFICATION OX THE INVOICES, aud in no manror provides for thie general pro- cess of dnlormlulm} the dutiablo value of the meorchandise. The landing must bo construed to relate fo the port of destination, Tho ton days must bo computed from the timo of ayrival at tho fval destination. Tho law of 1870 enlarged tho sphere af importation, and chnoged the law of 1739, so far as tha two acts aro in contlict, This must be construed to- gother in tha revisod stntutes. Scaboard vorts bave comscd to bo the only ports embracod within tho cuatoms revenue law for merchandise destined for interior ports. Tho weaboard port i3 a port of traneit, with machluory for securing aafo (ruun‘vunatlon, and not & port of entry. Ofliciala.at the seaboard ports cannot foterfeto with morchandiso destined for intorior ports except o vorify mvoices. Their dutles [ 1 TO INSURY DISPATCH snd secure safety in tho transit of goods, Tho rocords at the Chh:nge ofico show thnt goods srriviug at Portland, Mo., destined for imme- dinte trausportation, roquirc abaut thirteon dnys from tho arrival of the ship nntil thoir ar- rival at Chicago from Now York, Ten to twenty days are requisite from Boston, oloven to twolve dnys from Laltimore, nino to sixteon days from Han Francisco, two to thros weaks from Now Or- Jenus. Contingencics may Teguire moro {imo from the sovernl places thau ispceifiod. No claim for damago can bo made within the ton days from tho arrival at the first port. Collector Judd gives TITE FOLLOWING REASONS why Lo doos not considerit practicable to os- timato damago allowances within teu days from the timo of arrival at tha seabonrd lml‘t: Yirat, merchandise destined for immodiato transpor- tation undor tho act ia not subject to appraie- ‘ment and }quldation of dutics’ at tho port of firat arrival, thero bolug an express probibition sgalust brosking tho ariginal packago of auck morchiandlse, and the importer at tho place Las 1o meaas of detormining in what condition tho goods may bo. Hecond, the act of July 14, 1870, fixes the port of destination as tho port whore tho ~ apprafsement is to bo mado, and Soction 2,027 Rovisod Btatutes, spe~ clfically states that no ‘sllowanco for damago can ba made before cntry, payment of dutfos, or security of duties, ‘Third, 1t is not rounlhlc to make the claim for damages within an days after the arifval of thoehip. A con- il:r‘yfiogulnmn practically dofoats the law July TUE NECORDS OF THR CIICAGO OTFICE show that thore are 318 regular, and 100 occa- slonal importers at Chicngo, who import their oods direetly without hmumubjocml to the Golaya and Jovios by vbo brolaru at tho seaboard ports, and have their business uudor their con- trol, ‘That business s incronsing overy month, Clilcaga exporta ace Jargoly sent to forolgn mar- kets without the intorvention of the middle- mon of the soacoast, 'The exohange mado by such exporta i balng handled by Otifcago bauk- cors, 'This cuables tho importer to be free from the cost of the cbarges of middlemen. Tako sway from them the privilege of this claim for dawages, and you STLIKE A 1LOW AT THAT COUNSE OF TRADE, and reduce them to the commercinl vaswalage which exiated beforo the passago of the act of 1870. From a caroful examination of tho records of the Chicago oftics itis stated that not o pack- age ot gooda or a dollar of duty Liave beon lost at Chicago undor the oporatious 'of the ast of July 14, 1870 TR MAGNITUDE OF TIL INTERSTS TNYOLYED In the recent decision rcspocting damage allow. ances is B0 great (hat the Beoretary of tho ‘Iroasury has declded to submit the entire quos- tion to the Attorney-Geucral of the United Btatos, Judgo DBurham, Assistant-Seoretary, sccordingly to-day instructed the Cbief of tho Custams Division of tho Hocratary's oftico to for- ward all tho documents in the caso to the At torney-Genoral, snd to request Lim 1o give aa opinioa with respect to the late declaion. The iuquiry 1s alsa to comprehond s consldaration ot o relstions of tho statutes of 1790 to tho Iuterior Port of Entry act of July 14, 1870, both of which are consolidated i the Tevisd utatutes. Judge Burnham spya that ho 3X pecty & deolsion will be rendered within a fow uys, .

He had decided upon the Commission before tho return of Buperyis- ing-Architect Potter, Tho latter roturned this morning, but was o much ocoupiod with the ac. cumulated business of his office that e could not give full sttention to the report of the ox- amining engincera.

It sppears from developmenta latoly rade in Chicago sud Cincinnati that thio oficora of the ‘Treasury Dopnrtment Lava st last awakened to the neconsity of taking somo vigorous action in roferenco to tho disgracoful state of things in the new United Statos bmlding here, Fridny last » telegram was vocoived from the Dopnriment ordering a1l stone-cut- ting to stop, and Naturdsy night the wholo forco hero wna diecharged, About 100 men wero affocted by tho order; moat of them pre- pared ta movo out yestorday, bub were delayed by their juability to get thoir pay. On tho roturn of Mr, Mueller they will probably get their timo-chiocks, aud, after discounting thom, thoy will bo romly to hunt avotbor job. The forco now remaiving in Chicago omployed on the Cue- tom-Touso builling is contined to & few clerky, beokkopers, watcfunen, efe., ono engitioer, and one rigger, News was alao received hare yestorday that Muellor had beon orderod from Washington to nuspond the quarryiug of stone, and to_hip no mora ta Chicago until farthor ordors. It is en- tirely probable that tho roprcseniations of Messrn, Shumau and Thompson ns o the condi- tion of tho building have produced fa the ofticial mind tho same distrust of tlo stono furnished by Muellor aud tho work dong by Ranlun that havo baon eatablished in'thae Chicago mind by ‘I'ng Tutnuzie: exposuren of tho disgraceful stato of affairs about the building. Of course tho futute, 68 far as Chicago kuowa IL, 18 dark, but some decision will probably be arrived ag within o fow doys, A correspondent Gosires to ba informed how it comes nbout that Cincinnati's Custom-1{ouse is to bo-buill of stone brought from Maine, if the [freestone at_her vary dours i8 so excollent a mu~ terial as ** Monday'a Trinuse cracks it upto be™ —to quote from tho inquicy, Lhn samo quos. tion was gought to bo eolved in Cinclunatl, nnd tho unanimous auswer of tho dealers in free- stono was that tho bidder for the granito was a nepliow of Bon Dutler, and that “influence™ decided the contract, There I8 no proof sgainst the unfoguonio contractor that any suea un- plensaut relationship oxists, aud it is ta ehoprd that ho may prove hisel! innocens,—certaimly Lic must bo deemed 80 until proved guilly., Tho fact that Muoller was so fortunato a3 to have had tho gorvices of an inapecter who ecenis to hinve boen blind ot times hos created an {n- torest in the history of that ofilcor, 1l namo wan Charles A, Montroses, and ho hoad beon a supply agant on a railroad before being appoint- cd to tho prltlnn of inspector of watcrinls for tho now Custom-Housa, How far this oceupa- tion mado him a fit judgo of freestono may, porhaps bo doubted.
