The President {s sald to have reolied that he did uot regard tho New York Custom-House, with Its army of emvloyes, ns a local,buta natlonal fostitution, and could not take luto considerstion tho demands ot local politicians. The case was differont in Boston, I'hiladelphia, and Baltimore, whero a comparatively swmall number of men were cmployed, but New York, usauatlonal port, required further consideration The matter was then further discussed, and a comprom{iso chalked out by which not only the Conkling and Fenton, but also tho Morgan, factions were to be satiefled. Attention wus called to the fact that Merrltt aud DBurt Laa been on Fenton's staff while Governor of the Biste of New York, and that Uov, Morgan, who owns n cottago at Kewport, bud recently taken one st Saratoga, the Republican sumimer political hesdquarters, s0 as to promiote his chances for the Sonatorship ngalust Couk- lingz.

TR REASONS FOK TUE FRESIDENT'S 4CTION. Speciul Diapalch 1o 4hs Tribune. Wasuisutow, D. C., July 11.—The officlals of the Treasusy Departweat are looking fur s full report from the Committee of merchanta made up hy selections from Boston, Thiladelobia, and Western citles to act In connection with the Commission examining the question of undervaluations, ‘The Department desires to obtain this report Bafore it takes final action upon the revort of its own Commission. 1o this connection it has been ascertained that a report was forwarded a week or ten days since from the Treasury Commisslon, waking very grave charges against Deputy-Collector Lydecker. ‘These charges polnt him out as one of the prin- cipal officers connected with the serles of abuscs which Western merchants have long claimed existed in the New York Custom-House In dis- crimination nade against the tmportatious of tho merchants of other cities, as well as by many of the moat prominent merchants of New York City itsclf. This rcport created a very markei) Impression at the Treasury Department, and the Seaistary gave fmmedlate orders that fushould recelve i TROMPT AND SEARCHING ATTESTION, It 18 Lelleved that this report, taken incon- nectlon with the matters submiticd to the Jay Commisston and the questions raised by that Commission, in which Collector Arthur was finally found resisting the orders for reorgan- fzation hy the Secrctary, have had a very consider- able influence In determining the Preaident and Hecretury to remove the Collector. This report amainst Lydecker is nnderstood to fully justily the charges brought by the Collector of Chicago 1u the early stages of this movement, and the President has finally moved in the matter of the New York Custoni-liouss 1o & way which will probably prevent adverse. action on the part of tha Senate in December. Conkling, ot the last srcsion, succeeded in defeating the President’s nominations In the place of Arthur and Cornell, upon the ground that hic was vio- lating bis own Civil-Service rules, In that no charges’ cxisted agalust these officers. They bave, however, finally been REVOVED YOI CAUSE. Not only has Collector Arthur been derelfct in enforeing the reforms recommanded by the Jay Commission snd approved by the Depart- ment, but the late lovestigation made Into the management of tho Custom-llouse by tho Treasury Commisalon, which has been eonslder- ing charges of undervaluations at the port of New York, tnvolving grest diserimination against the business of the other Jurge citles of the country, has devoloped a condition of affaira fully justifylug the removals which have finally been made., The selcctions which have now been madeare really promotlons of deserving subordinate officers, snd fu this respect the Clvil-Service rules have been strictly enforced. Doth gentlemen are understood to be digcon- nected with the Conkling faction, and Merrite, the new Collector, has been throughout his lmlulc»l carcer a pronounced Fenton man, It s oxpected that many changes will occur in the subordinate foreo of officers.
