This report, it has been undor- stood, furnisbed the President and the De- partmont the reason for the removal of Col- lector AnTror, of New York, It scems that this Comnmission had investigated the caso of Mr, Lyprcken, tho chiof aud confidentinl Doputy of the Collector, nnd mads his case the snbject of n special report to the Secro- tary of tho Trossury. TIn the present roport thoy rafer to tha fact that the cvidenco far- nished by them impenching Lypxcxzn liad Leen officially snbmitted to the Collector, who not only had continued tho Deputy in offica, Lut had continued to loave the general con- irol of tho wholo Onstom.fonse in his hands, On this point tha report roddns * Wo wero surprisod to learn that = Collector Antron, after: huving been advised of the comiecs tlon of hia Hpecial Depnty, Mr. LYoecken, with schemes to” defrand the Government, and after provfent suchofiotal miscondugt had been eub- 1nitted to him, stlll appeared to repose in Lyprexs ER tho most implhielt contidence, und to nllow him fo practically control the busincss management of the ofilce. Wo found tit the moro honeat sid {n- tellicent ofiictals ot tho Custom-tiouse had long had roskon to distrust Mr, Lyneeneu's integrily, and that the inflnenco exarcized by him over the Collactar had been for a long time thysubject of comment among them, It scoma that wlien this Commission mado a spocial report of the, cloar cano of Lyvecz- ¥n's long.praoticod frands, the Treasury Do. partment furnished a copy of the report to Collector Antuun, bnt that officer ignored the wholo matter, and, whilo ho did not dis- miss Lypzogzn, ho continued bimn in hiscons spicuons and controlling placo ns Spocial Doputy. ‘Tho Collector secmed to tako the position that ho Leld tho officn s a snbordi. nate, not of the Government, but of Senator Coxgrivg, and, s Bonator Cowxrrse lLad proved himsolf able to defent his removal onco, tho Collector conld afford to put tho Government ot deflanco and continuo Ly- DEOKER in offico, despita what soems to havo been his notorious shortcomings, ‘Tho roport of the Commission will prove interesting roading to the merchants of all the Western eitios, Ttsustains all tho charges mado by thom ngeinst tho outrageons dis. eriminutions mado in the Now York Custom. louse, which have rondored it almost im. possiblo for Weatern morchants to import in compotition with Now York hnporters, Thoy report that the importation of silk yoods of all kinds has been carriod on so disbonestly that all tho orchants of Now York ovgoged in tho silk trado have censed to import, ‘Tho busincas has pnased almost exclusively joto the hands of resident sgouts of the forclgn manufuotnrers, The invoiced prices of theso goods thus seut to the jusnu. facturers’ agonts Lave beon persistently and notoriously undervalued ; and, though tho val. ustions had been at the time of tho investi- gation somowhat advanced, thoy were still at least #5 por ceut less than (ho real value of tho goods. Importers Lnd been driven out of the businoss and compelled to mako their purchasas of the manufaciurors’ roaldont agonts in New York. One of these sgents claimed to control the sale of one- third of all the best silk imported into the United Btates. The Commission comment soverely on the system of valuation of wilk followed in the New York Custom-Ilouse, 'I'e practico of undervaluation provatent in the importation of silk goods had extend- el to othor classos of goods, especially in tho mattor of clyers and tobacco. They point out tho conduct of the Appruisers ond Exawiners iu silks and cigars, and rec. ouunond that both the mun bo retired for othiers. In the matter of false weights and gauging, they found' the greatest amount of carclessness and loss to the raveuno, espe- clally in tho matter of weighing angar, and thelr investigations led to Lumodiate re. forms in this respect. With respect to allowances for damagos, they found that tho Custom:-House In New York was run on the loosest style of morality. Tu certain classes of goods, the olaim for damayes invarisbly accompaniod the filing of the invoice, au ullowance for damage being treated as & maiter of course and asa vegular part of pawlng such goods through the Custom-Houwss, Ho goneral was thls business that & uow Lranch of brokeruge had grown ‘up, and the “damuge Lroker”.| waé now & regular oocupation. ‘They ro. port that tnis allowance has become an immenso sbuss, 'They olio find thut the whole Customs Scrvice in the Wusters citicy, aud in all the citis outside of Now York, is Lonestly and efficieutly perforned, and that thoe trensportation of imports in brud to fu- ios haa not rosulted in any frauds or logs {0 §he rovenuo, The wholo report is an ampla vindication of tho charges mado by the merchanta of tha Western cities ngninat the New York Cna- tom-llonsa and its mode of doing bnsiness. Mot of the frands and abuses have boon promptly remedied by the Secretary of tho Treasnry, and to reach these he had fo re- move certain officers, who, it not connlving at the wrong, obstructed the changes in the mode of official proceeding, and refused to cortaect the fraudulent practicoa, L ey RESTRICTED COINAGE OF SILVER. An "' Inquirer” writes to tho Now York Graphie, snying that ho was ** strick recently by an drticle In Tur Cnicsco ‘Trinvxe—n prominent silver pnper—oppoaing an unlim- ited silver coiuuge,” and nsks the opinion of the @raphis. 'Theronpon the Graphic re. plics that it does not see ** what harm could coma of nn uulimited coinago of silvor, and of its being placed on a footing of equality with gold.” The position of Tre Tamose in this mnatter is not fairly ropresonted, ow- ing to n failure to make the proper distine- tion betwaeen *limited " and * restrioted,” as npplicd to coinnge, Tne TrinuNE expressed itsclf as opposed to the *‘ unrestrietod” coin- ago of silver at this timo for reasona that ap- penr to it ns good and sufMclent. The coin- ngo ia limited not wmeroly by the law, but by the capnoity of the mints, which conld not well bo made to tnrn out more, silver standard dollars than are now authorized by law. 'The minting capad ity might bo incrensed, bnt it wonld bo at groat oxpenso; and, no matter to what extent the mints should be multiplied, it wonld bo impolitic to remove the Government rostric- tion on the coinage of silver, and -thus fur- nish Eogland and Germany an ensy eseapo from their presont embarrassment of an ox- clusive gold standard. If the coinngo of silver wore practically unlimited by anindefi- nite mintage capncity, and - if, at tho same time, tho privilege of coining silver wero freo to all, England, Germauy, and overy other country which pays large balances to tho people of the United Blates, would pay in silver nt o por with gold; a it is now, wo toke thoir wilver, if at all, on tho mame basls at which thoy rato it,—that is, ‘at its .bulllon value,— and, when convertod into coin, the Govern- ment enjoys the profit on tho transaction. To adopt the rule of free coinnge, and at tho Anme timo increaso tho nintage capacity fn- definitely, would bo to give foreign conn-~ tries nn ndvantage of 8 or 10 por cont, at curront rates of silver bullion, in their troden with this country. With the balance of trado 80 enormonsly in favor of this country, wo cnn compel foreign countries to pay us in gold, or in ailvor at its gold rate; it wonld bo shortsighted aud impolitio to forego this ad- wanlago for the time being, and tho roatric- tion imposed will grently hasten the willing- ness of Englaud and Germany to ngree upon on international basis for the doublo stand- ard, tho adoption of Which 18 provented by the atlitudo of thesa two nations alone, The Graphic also erms in likening thie po- sition of tho Uniled States with that of Asin in tho silver matier. It speaks of Asia having absorbed £70,000,000 moro of silver in 1877 than its yon:ly nverago on sccount of thadeclino inthe valuo of silver ; it regards this ns an ndvantage to Asin, nnd intimates that o similar draln of foreign silver Into this conntry would be equally advantagoons, This optnion ignores tho faet that Asin has tho singlo silvor standard, s Englond. aud Germany have the single gold satandard, while it Ia the alm of the most judiclous nd. vocates of silver remonetization In tha country to maintain the double atandard, It in truo that Asia, with its singlo silver standard, haa n temporary advantage just now In tho cheapnoss of tho wilver bullion, which, on that nccount, pours freoly ovor into Asin in oxclinnge for goods of Ohina, Japan, and East India; but the timo will eome, nnd moy uot ho very romote, when Asia will bo at u disndvantage on ncconnt of a riso in the valus of silver bLullion, bocause it will still be compalled torely upon ita siuglo silver staudard, To remove all limitation and all rostriction upon Ithe coinage of silver in this country, under tho prosent con. ditions, would be to bring sbout a single silver standard nltimately in the United Btatos; but the people of the United Htates wonld. suffar a heavy loss on their foreign trado by reason of the low value of silver dur. ing tho prooocss, and might suffer afterwards by roasun of bolog redaced to a single standard. Wo admit that the single silver standard is not so dangerous ns tho singlo gold standard, but maintain that the double atandard is proforable to either, and that it can bo estalilisked on an international and onduring basis by the vory polloy which France and the United States are now pur- suing, Bosldes, if it bo the alm of cortain advocates of silver remonetization to urge tho odoption of an exclusivo silyer staudard, then they should advoeato the logalizing of forelgn wilver according to its relative face valuo, instead of the moro costly and slower procoss of crecling now mints, That would Loa quick and cerlain way for bringing foreign silver into tho country by hundreds of millions inecxchanga for our exports, BEER SUBSTITUTES, Tho hand of fraud Lias tampered with the beer-keg, and wo can no longer bs. sure of tho integrity of ono of tho prime necessitlos ot life, and of o ataff of oxistence upon which 80 many wayfurers are leaning for -cowfort aud subsiatonce, The Milwaukes News, in a recent {ssue, Lias an article upou substitntes for beur, in which it Is shown that malt and hops are rorely the foundatiow of boer in that city, Of course it they are not wsed to any extont in that city tho saspicion . will at ounco arise that they nre not used In’ thls city, If they do It in Milwaukeo, thero is o posaibility that they do it hore. Can It bo that thoy all do ite * s The News allegos that the brewers of that city are using cors aud rice fnstead of malt ond hops, and the worst of It is that it proves it by reforonce to the rovenue books, upon which the brewers aro required to record each wonth every pouud and bushel of material purchased for the manufucture of walt liquor, Hero aro somo of tho sta- tisties from these pages of overwhelmiug testimony ; During six nmonths of the pros. ent year Pmiuy Avrexren has purchased 4,600 bushels of corn, The Philip Baat Browing Company at their flve brewerien consumed during the same period 546,218 bushels of coru and 72,383 pounds of rice. Vavewtiwe Buaze, in four months, used up 40,700 bushols of corn and 87,347 pounds of rice. 'The Milwaukee Browing Company lLave devoted themselves all thia year to vorn, consumivg 27,455 busbels, Faxp Mires, with equal assiduity, has given all his oucrglos to rice, using up 81,238 pouwds.

It has tam- pered with that reputation and has lost it. Boor, like Czsan's wifo, shonld be above suspicion. We expect apirituous liquors to bo adulterated. Indeed, wo shonld bo in- clined to roent it it they wore not. Nothing would so sadden the overago drinker as to miss the benzina in his whisky, the fusol-oil in his brandy, the npple.jutce in his champagne, or tho old boots in his clarct. Tho uuaduller- aled article would not have the sonp and zost of the drugged compounds to which he has boon mecustomed, The patron of wat goods will find no fault with theso, Lut ho mnst have his beer pure and innocont, It 18 his solaco in timo of sorrow, the Gonnetlich- koit for bis houm of gladness, his tonfo when Do is rednced, and tha stoadfast strengthener of his social thes.

'Whon that fails, then indeed Aro tho doll's Tegs stulfed with sawdust and lifo no bottor than sounding brass and tho tink- ling cymbal, Bo long ns it romatns, ho will sing, with lenket » Hurrah for the hops and hurrah for tho malt, Tuoy are Lifu's treasnre and lro's sall. A gentleman who has for yonra been con- fidentially employod in ono of the largest of the Milwaukeo breworics, in an interview with the represoutative of tho iVeirs, draws a sad ploturo of tho effects of this wrotchied corn and rico beer. Homays: * Deor mado from corn, rice, or whent, is about ns much Leer na buttor made from boof scraplings is butter, or sugar from old rogs §s sugar.” 'The rico is spocially hurtful to tho henlth. It givos the beer color and body, but it gives tha drittker n hoad tho next morning, Tho man who drinks ardont liquors expects to Linvo a hend on hiin the uext morning, and b is disappoisted if he does not find ‘it constrncted upon a vory big scaloj but ha does not cxpect a lhead from beor any more than he does from his tes and coffec. On the other hand, ho should nrise refreshed and rein- vigoratod like a lion. Further says this ono who knowa: ** Corn ls not mo injurious to the henlth, but beer made partly from comt must bo consumed right away, Tt Is rathor Inxative iu its effects. I liave no donbt that cithor corn or rico made beer is capnble of dolng harm to dolicato persons, to woraan, and to nursing children of womon who drink it, Another thing, beer mnda from corn cnn never be lager-beer, It hns to bo markeled and consumed - while 4 pgrean,” ™ Of courso the most suggestive fesluro of all this painful developmont lies in its loeal application, Aro our browars, like thosa in Milwaukoe, reducod (o such desporato straits in tryiug to keep body and soul togethor that lhoy have to resort to these unwholesome praotices?
