Spectal Dispatck to The Tridune. ‘WasnmGrox, D. C., April 7.—A partial ex- amination of the New York Custom-House shows that it is mauaced worse than any other in the countrr, with the possible exception of New Orleavs. ‘There is lax administration and neglect of duty from top to bottom. The re- cuipts in 1872 were 8145,000,000. In 1874 they had fallen off to $100,000,000, yet the expendi- tores-of the latter year had increased to £300,- 00 above what they were in 1572 The salaries naid to the principal subordinates; are large. The subordinates themsclves are *many of them lawyers cnpaged in the active * prosecution of their profession, who do not allow their public business to inter- fere with their private occupations. The Col- Jector himself is connected with a law firm, and . BELDOM EEACHES RIS OPFICE before 2 o’clock in the afternoon. The business runs itself. The Collector does little more than #ign a few papers which are presented to him in routine after reaching the Custam office, and to give instructions to politicians. - This of itself is contrary to President Hayes' declaration that the persons connected with the public service should devote themselves to that sery- dee. Ope of the chief. Deputy Col- lectors is a practicing lawyer who attends ‘o cases reqularly in the courts, and goes to the <Custom-House in the afternoon when his law business is ended. One of the Appraisers who hears re-sppraisements isa practicing lawyer, who frequently devotes the entire day antil1 ©'clock to his private business, aud then hears reappraisements. It is s2id to be susceptible of ‘proof that another deputy has been in the habit of o GIVING FREE PERMITS 1o personal friends to remove goods from the Custom-House without payment of duty, an act which is as much public robbery as 10 tske money from the treasury.. It is also stated that George Bliss, late District At- torney, has a ist of deputiesand clerks in the ‘Collector’s office and in the Navy Ofiice, all of whom sre charged with having ' ACCEPTED CONSIDERABLE S8UMS from. fnspectors and brokers for what is called extra service, but which, in point of fact, ure bribes. This list, :\]Lhuu%}: Lrought to the at- tention of Collector Arthur, received no con- sideration. There are no charges agalnst Col- lector Arthur’s personal integcity, but there are serious charges that be grossiy neglects his ‘business, and that he is not troubled b the manifest corruption about him. It fs ®aid that there can he no dpubt that one of the rominent deputies is in lesgue with: corrupt importers. ¥ resident Hayes intends to thoroughly inves- tigate the methods of doing business m all Cus- tom-Houses, and will fusist upon it that those who receive Government salaries shall rive the Government their best services, and- not treat the Government busincss as 2 profitavle interest. outside of other occupations. .

This telegram s difficult -of cxplavation, as a letter ‘was recelved here yesterday by the same mail steamer which must have brought the allezed withddrawal of thc charges containing a reiter- ation indetail of the charzes. This letter in substance is this: That an American named “Peace was the master of i small ves- scl thoroughly armed, nominally, engag- ed in trade with the Philippine and other islands, but who really was a pirate.

C., April 7.—The - letter of Secretary Sherman with respect to the lisbility of the eoreties on delingent Gaugers' bonds* foreshadows an entirely new . departure in the treatment of illicit-whisky cases. Under Secre- tary Morrill it had been the custom for Gaugers when their bankruptey or utter Inability to pay ‘wascstablished to apply personally to the Sec- retary of the Treasury, and to receive some sort. of a compromise upon satisfactary proof of in- solvency. It was Mr. Morrill's custom generally to sccept the compromise of- fered by the .Gangers, and to stop prosecutions there.” This is now to™ end, and * any one who becomes surety on the boud of the most insignificant - revenne -official must do o with the understanding that his liability is cer- tain. The Revenue Office itself, nnder the ad- ministration of Copimissioner Raum, never made any compromise with Gaugers or its own officers. ~ All these adjustments have been made “directly by the Secretary himself.

Jewctt called last night at _the residence of Joseph A. Dean, and fnformed Nicholas L. Roosevelt, a relative of the latter, that Orviile D. Jewett had un- doubtedly committed sucide. The fact was im- parted to Charlés H. Jeivett by Charles Taintor, managing clerk, who told him Tuesday after- noon that the moment the explosion, occurred he (Taintor) was in.the middlc office, in fuil view of the private office. He heard George W. Jewett call him, and he immediately éntered the room, and, when the smoke bad partially cleared, saw Orville - D, Jewett lving on the body of George W. Jewett. Orville *held-a Sharpe’s pistol to his breast, and fired four shots in rapid succession. . He then rolled from off the body of his uncle, ‘und lay writhing on the floor, near it. Taintor then ran down stairs and ralsed ® cry of ‘dlarm, and subsequently went to Staten Jsland to acquaint the'clder Jewety's family. ' o g " At a conference at the Coroner’s office to con- sider the mannes o which Orville D. Jewett came to his death, the Coronersand their Depu- | ties decided that the wounds received by, Or- ville D, Jewett wore inflicted by some 'oue else, and said, that the report circulated that he Lim- self fired the weapon which caused the wounds was impossible. The course’of the bullets and the position in which'the person must have stood to''receive them precludes the ‘possibility of"his inflicting “them with bis -own hands. “ There s no -doubt,” sald Coroner Woltman," ‘*that Mr. Déan knows more than he will tell.” The Coroner also said: “Mr. Desn is agood man to watch, and he’ shounld not be permitted to leave his: house,” Assoon as he is able to leave the house, be will, in all probability, be placed under arrest. The police: all adhere to the same theory;—that the wounds received b Orville could not have been inflicted by himself, and in their opinion the “mystery will soon be unraveled. Mr. Dean is not able to sit up, but is mnk:l‘.:&' favorable progress toward recovery. . In regs to the theory that Mr, Dean himself fired some of the shots which_proved fatal £0-Orville D. Jewett, the former’s son safd that inhis father's present condition it had been deemed advisable to keep him in iznorance of the fact that such a theory had ever been broached. He said . he never knew bis fathor to have a ptstol of any kind in his possession, and that he was a man very unlikely ever to caity one, as he was mnot only unfawiliar with fire-arms, but had a, posi- tive aversion to Lhen}. S s Robert Brown, s ipoing-clerk, said to the Post reporter, that at the tinc of the explosion he was on the first. floor of the establishment. Heran into - the street, saw_the office window brohen, and smoke issuing from it, and then ran back to go upstairs. He met other clerks coming down, and also Mr. Dean, whom some stopped to assist. He continued bn"his * way up-si " and was joined by firemen, Before r ing the head of the stairs he heard a second report, which is be- ieved to have been from the discharge of a revolver. This makes bim certain this wespon could not have been fired by Mr. Dean, who was then at the bottom of the 'stairs. When Mr, Brown reached the back office Tic saw George W. Jewelt 1ving on his back, with his feet toward the grate, and Orville D. Jewets also on hils back, with his shoulder resting on his ‘uncle’s breast.” Both men were writhinz with pain.* Brown also says-that ten or twelve days before the explosion- Orville- Jewett cailed bim one side and said vrivately, in an impres- sive manner, that he wished him to taxe cliarge of his desk, aud see it Was not moved, us there was_ something in it which might break. In consequence, Brown warned all the porters not. 1o touch Jewett's desk. Young Mr. Dean also said he did not think it was singnlar Mr.- Taintor’s account had pot been made public sooner, inasmuch ns the lat- ter had not left Staten Island, where he had lived with his {other-in-law'since the day of: the Iatal event. He said, however, his father's memory of the terrible affair was no clearer than before, and the latter was still unable to remember even the relative positions occupied by v.lm; persons in the office at t‘hn time .of the osion. o .

UNITED THEY STAN The difficulties between the Chicago; Burling- ton & Quincy.and, Jay ‘Gould have been amica- bly settled, and jnstead of a_disastrous war be: tween the Union Pacific, Chicago, Rock ‘Tsland & Pacific, and ChicaZo & Northiwestérn, and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rajiways, the fricndship and barmony. etieen these lines bave been more firmly.cemented than ever. The pool between;the three: Towa<lines .will not be broken, but, on the contrary, a_new agreement has been entered into, placing it on 4 still more solid and satisfactory basis than it "hos been heretofore. “and it "is’ the opinfon . of the| will last foryears, T --7 . S As is well known, the ,difficulty, between -the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy .and ‘Jay Gould arose from the fact that Messrs. Forbesand Per- kins, ou behalf of the Missourt River Railroad in Nebraska; made a strong ;fight against, the Union Pacific in order to cnm{cl it to ‘prorate yith the former trom and t6 Kcarney: Junction. This was'stoutly, registed by the, Unfon® Pacifié, beeause by dolng. so_its . mnileaze would. have been' greatly reduced, and much of its -earningg taken away. Messrs. Forbes "and” Perklas, or. rather.the Missouri River Railroad in Nebraska, brought the matter before Congress',with the hope that the Union Pacitic might, be compelicd to pro-raté. , Voluminous documents have al- redady heen laid before that body, acd elaborate and lengthy arguments made by counsel of ‘both sides. The issue has so fur advanced that it was the opinion thas it'would be taken up by the next Congress in’ the early part of the next session. 1t looked as if the Missouri River Rail- road, in; Nebraska, would carry off the yictory. Juy Gonld: und the - other Union Pacific pople were in a rage, and, as a last resort, they com- meuced war against the Chicago, Burlington.& Quincy Railroad. Not because this line had agy- thing to do With the war between' the Nebraska Rouad and the Union Pacific, but because Messrs. Forbes and Perkins, the prihicipal stockholders of the former road, had also a largc interest in the Burlington & Quincy, and'both held promi- nent” positions on~the same. It” was ar- gued by Jay Gould tha, though the Birlington Quiney* was not ““making the-“war di- rectly, it was interested in the difficulty indirectly, and could stop the fight, if-it"desired . to do so. . But, after awhile, the Union Pacitic people found out, that’ their discriminatious against the Burlington & Quincy had no effeer, because the earnings on the through business of the three lines lcniHnE from this city to Omaha were pooled. Jay Gould at once sct to work to break up the pool. He commenced to purchase stock of the Rock Island and North- western Railroads, and suddeuly it transpired that he had obtained control.of both. Mow, he Lad the Burlington Road in a corner. e could use the two lines against it and wage an.effect- ive war upon it. . The sagacity of the move was at once shown by a- large decline in the stock of the Chicago, Barlingion & Quinc{y‘ But Jay Gould was too shrewd a railrond man not to see that a war between - these would serfously eripple all of them, and there- fore before entering upon it tried to: gain Lis point in & more peaceable and less expensive manner. He knew that if he succeeded +in destroying the influcnce of Messis. Forbes and Perkins with the Directors of the Chicago; Bur- lington & Quincy, the. influence*of this road would be exerted to stop the efforts of the Missouri - River Railroad in - Nebraska from %ros(:cming its war against the Union Pacific. ‘o this end he bent all' his cnergics. He com- menced to buy up stock in the Ohicago, Bur~ linfhon & Quincy, and it became known that he had gotten conurol of 5,000 shares which had been held by Mr. Moses Taylor, of New York, and that he was also negotiating to obtain control of the stock of Mr. Green, which is in the mar- ket. This alarmed the managers of the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney, . who could sce no reason why they should sucritice the interests of their road merely to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for the Nebraska Road. -About x week pre- vious to the last annual meeting’Mr. Robert Huris, Presjdent of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, went to Boston to confer with the Directors_of the line in regard to the difficalty; and Lring aboat an amicable settlement. Fo labored asy and night, and finally succeeded in ‘Iis efforts to onize the conflicting interests, . and ;to -him, in .a . great measure, are the stockholders;of the road indebted for the. favorable turp of affairs. About a week ago the new Board of Directors met in Boston to organize and elect new officers. At this meeting the real fight camé off Jjust as predicted by ' Tne TRIBUNE at' the time of the annual megting. It was shown that the Burling- ton would havea hard road to_travel against the powerful combination formed against it, and that there was some dangrer of Jrg‘ Gould get- ting coptrol of this line as he had obtained of the other two Jowa roads. . Messts. Forbes and Perkins saw they had been pushed into a corner and that it.'was.best .to’ make . concessions. Negotiations were entered into with the lines managers of these lines that-this arrangément controlled by, :'Jay “Gonld, ivhich" finally resulted in an amicable Settle~ ment - between " the - contestiug - parties, The Union Pucific conceded _some rigbts to tho Missouri River Railroad in Nebraska heretofore denicd to it; and the latter azreed not to further prosecute its case against the Union Pacific to compel it to pro-rate from Kearney Junction. This done, Mr. Gould had no longer any cause to fecl unfriendly towards the Chicago, urling= ton & Quincy, and agreed. to treat it the same as the Rock Island and Nérthwestern Railroads, A new ‘agreement for pooling thie “Interests of the three roads. was then entered into. - Finally the old officers of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad were re-elected, and cverybody was happy and- contented. Mr. Robert Harris, President of the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney, returned from the Eust yesterday and is much pleased that- the storm‘-has ‘passed without lightning baving struck.
