THE NEW YORK OUSIOM-HOU3E, ‘The threatened controversy between Sen- ator Conkling and tho™ President over the nomination of Judge Robertson to the Col- lectorship of Customs of the port of New York promises to lead to the free discussion of n stpject of far more Importance than thecontroversy ltself~namely: thethorongh reform of the administration of the chief customs office of thecountry, ‘Che existence of frands In the New York Custom-House dates baek to tho time of Van Buren's Ad- ministration, when Collector Swartwont embezzled o milllon and a quarter, and his successor, Jesso Hoyt, rotired from oftico n defautter to the nmountof n quarterof & mitlion. Later, the frands perpetrated through the New York Custom-Ileuss tovk the formm of undervaluntion, by which the Government was robbed of millions of Its revenue, o by this means nlmost the entiro ftporting business of the country was con- centrated in the hands of o few unserupu- lous men, mostly allens. Under the Moleties act the swinders were brought to book. Seventy to elghty scizures and prosecutions during the perfod from 1871 to 187 resulted inthe recovery by the Government of bee tween three and four willion doltars, These enses showed widespread corruption througli- out the ranks of the Custom-Houseomployeés. One ease developed the fact of the bribery of fifty Custom-Ilouse oficinly, But—and this 13 0 signileant elreumstance—the mora} (?) sentlment of Now York City wns opposed to the punishment of tho offendors nzainst the laws. The entlre press of the city condemned the Government ,oftlelals who prosecuted the rovenne defrauders, instead of denouncing the guilty, ‘Then tho fraternity of corrnpt importers took cournge, assaulted the law under which they had been convieted, and Impudently demanded 83 repeal; and fn this demund they were sustained by the press and publle of New York Clty. So great. was the pressure brought {o bear upon Congress that the Moletles act was repenled, ‘I'he prosecutors of erime were actually rebuked, and the eriminals vindt- eated! The history of representatlve gov- ernments does not record # more monstrous eass of wbuse of falthinl ofiicers, or an tu- stance of more palpable coliuslon of the lnw- mukers with the law-breskers. And this net of unparalivied bad faith was brought about ad applwnded by the press and public of New York City, with searcely o dissenting voleo! g 'Cho next afid last net in the drama of Now York Custom-llouso frauds culminated In tne attempt of Seeretary Sherman to work a reform theve in 1878, 'fho fact of thoex- Istence of o glgnntie system of frauds by undervaluation of goods lmported through the New York ofleo was dem- onstrated by Chiengo, Clnclunatl, and St. Louls Importers, who deslred te Tn- port dlveet, but found It lmpossible to (o 5o because forelgn manufacturers were allowed to pass their goods through tho Now York Custom-llouse at half ora third of thelr market value, thus avelding the payment of n large percentage of the rov- onue due tho Government, ‘Thus these allens wero allowed by the customs ofticers of tho chief port of the coyntry to drive from e foreign markets all honest Amer- lean morchanw, ‘The Investigations of the Counnlssion constituted by Seorotary Sher- mnn confirmed the allegntions of the Chicago Importers. A modicwm of reform was ae- complished by n reorganization of the oflleo; but the ovil.is nat enred, Undorvaluations stlll go on Insoverallines of high-duty goods, notably siiks, laces, and many other articles of Fronch manufucture, In this last Investi- gatlon, as in all former ones, the Uovern- mont had netther ald nor sympathy from the press or the publie of New York Clty, Now, for the first timo In the history of controversics ovor tho Castom-House ot that clty, in connectlon with the clalm ot u right to control the appointment of the Collector on the part of Senator Conkling, a Now York paper ralses the questlon whether it would not be wise, In fuet, to placo the nl- minlstratlon of the New York Custom-llonse in charge of v stranger to the prejudlees and greed of trade of the Now York Clty peaple, Followling Is what this paper, the Now York Drihenc, snyss ‘I'ho cinbin {8 made on behalf of Senator Conk- ling that bo vughit to be silowed to control, ns n HIELOF of vourss, tho wppolututent of tho Col- luctor of the Port of New York; and that n\n{ soloction mudo by the Prosidout for that post, without the s;ormlulun of the Sonulor, I8 & nrv::un or rohbury,—u violution of his vostod rluhts. fl'flll cluln scews to us to rest upon an entiro nisupprebunsion of tho jmporinnee of tho ottico, , Letore ouo of tho Benutors of New York can ne- suinu that the Culluulunmlfi baiongs 1o bim, cuj- tHous poople wigtit uvk how you show thag it uven bolougs exclusivaly 10 New Yorks and surewil New York politiclans would be wise not 10 ruise that quustlon (oo vuelferously.

MAYOR HARRISON AND THE PUMPING- WORKS. A year ngo the Common Counell appropri- ated $100,000 for the establishment of pumyp- ing-works at Bridgeport. 'The need of them was ndmitted on all hands, The complaints from the country of the foulness of the water it the canal were ¢o numerous and so just that'1t was felt thoy could not in common decency be overlooked, Motcover, the con- ditlon of the river was not what it should have been, It was clean and foul by turns, but was never for any great length of time entirely free from odor.

The Mayor hag #iven as manyexcuses as the unwiling guests bidden to the matrlage feast In the Script- ures, e was afraid the englues would not be big enough, or thoy would cost too mueh; and he wasn’t surs they were needed, When questioned on the subject by representatives of towns on the eanal he nuswered [lippantly and rudely; safd the Chleago River was eleaner than tho sewers, and told Irrelevunt stories about workmen who loved to wash their hands In the sswage of Madison street bridge. ‘Then he denled that the river hnd auything to do with the founluess of the eanal, and with asort of bravado sald the people In the country might do as thoy 1ikked, they couldn’t cut off the feeder at the South Braneb, T'he extrrordinary speeches and actions of the Mayor bear thelr approprinte fruit, The Leglsluture hud hardly gotten together be- fore putitions for refief and cemplaints ot the selfishness of Chiengo rained down upon it ‘The conntry menrbors nro usually prejudiced ngalnst the eltshand. ready to diserlminato ngainst It in every possivle manner.

The Tureo-Greelan compileation has at last reached o phase which begins to look intelli- gible, ‘I'he steps leading up to it therefore are more than ordinarily interesting. ‘The first propussl mnde by Turkey was the line of the Arta In Eplrus and that of the Snlam- brin “In Thessaly. This Invelved & very: serious diminution of the territory in Epirus whiceh hnd been elalmed by Greeee in nccord- ance with the provislons of the Berlin Treaty. The proposal Ignored all compensation for the smatler territory In Epirus, which the Turks met by ruother proposition extending the concessions In Thessaly beyond the Sn- lambrin aud up to Mount Olytipus. This, however, was not satlstactory to the Powers, much less to Greece. Gormany thon ap- weared in the foreground with the proposat that Turkey should ecde Crote to compen- sate for the swaller territory I Eplius, and the Porte took 1t under consideration, Tho objection was first made that the cesslon of Ciete wonld open up nnew Greek ques- tion In the Archipelago, for nril the other Islands are ‘mnlnly peopled Ly Greeks, and if Greeco could successfully clabn tho largest of them upon tho ground of nation- allty, the smoo cinim might at any timo be mnde to the snnller ones, many of whicl areadjacent to the read to Constantinople and near other Turkish possessions on the nuintand. The Cretan question was badied back nnd forward through soveral sesslons, ‘I'he Torte first ngreed to manke additional concesslons in Thessaly and cedo Croto in- stead of Epleus. This wns unsatisfactory to the Powers. The cunning ‘Carles then in- verted thelr proposition and offered Crete and the area orlginally offered In Eplrus, but # consldorblo reductlon of the coneessions in Thessaly, This was cqually unsatisfre- tory. ‘The Porte thon took tho bull by the horns and dropped Crete out of consldera- tlon altogether, whielh was not obfected to by the Towers, for thoy had at no thmo considered the cesslon of Creto as an adequnte compensation for Epirus, ‘Then the Porto lnunched n final proposition—nnmety: that it would not cede Crote or nny territory whatever in Albuuin, hut would Inrgely extend its concesslons in “I'hessnly, 8o us to comprlse Larlssa, "Trikala, Turnova, and the whole of the Valley of tho Salambrle, only excluding Drevesa and Metzovo, Asnan offset for the refusal to make any concesslon In Epirus the Torte ngreed not only to lucrease tho concession In® ‘Thessaly but to rectify tho Epirota frontler, ta dismnntle the fortifientions of Prevesa, and deelare neutrality inthe Gulf of Arta, This, although a deelded trhwinph for the haggling diplomney of the Turks, scems to have beon aicroenble to the Ambassndors of the Powers, for on the 80th ult, they agreod to sign a pro- tocol neknowledging that Turkey's conces- #lons In regard to the Greco-Turkish bounda- rles proved her deslro for peace with Groecee, that tho cossion of any por- tlon of Xplrus was Impossible, and ndvising Greeco to necept. the proposals of ‘Turkoy as the best thut could be expeeted, The declston of the Ambnssadors hrs been Indorsedd by thelr respuctive Gavernmouts, and o dispateh of thoe81st ult, says that thoy declded to declnro to the Greek Ministry thelr flrm resolution not to interfere If the compromiss was rofected, This ends the metter so far as Turkey ls concarned, and places the responsibility upon Greece, and the situution thorefora sums Itself up In the one questlon—will Greeeo fight? A recont dispateh from Athens to the London Phncy has a bearing upon this, It says: “ M. Coumoundouros (the Greelan War Mintstor) declares that whatever may bo the statoof preparntion, QGreece must and will move promptly It the propositions of the Porte ate Insuflicient, untess restruined by the military _pressure of thePowers, (roceo hagno cholee, for anything s prefernblo to her present cons ditlon,” Later dispatches confidontly af- flrm that the Greok Ministry will not necept the Turklal proposal, aud, have so notifled tho Tuwers, If this:bo true, then there ls but one issua to the matter, sud that ls war; and 1f this war should be confined to Turkey and Groees, there can bo but one fssus to that: Greees must be overwhelmed and loso wll that has been offered her, Upon the prinelplo that hialf & loaf Is better than none, it would be the purt ot wisdom for Gireece to necopt the ‘Turkish vroposal rather than em- burk In o war where she must lose every- thing, ‘This, of course, must bo dependunt upon the contlugency that the war may be. cowe general, and thut Russia and England mny espouse the cause of Grecco; but, from the unastmity with which the I"owers have recomnmended Greeco to accept the compro- wlse, such n contingency appenrs vory re- mote, Since writing the foregoing, we find tho following cablo dlspateh from Lowlon yes- lerday: ‘The Standar? in ita lending nrticlo suya: * It i3 undoratood the Cabinet eonneil Bnturday diy- cuesed the preeise lnngaago 15 which Ita nceept- nuee of the Turklah proposnl to (reece is to bo convesed, Tho declsion tuken by Gladstono and his eallengues has bean arrived at by the Powors, and wo anticlpato fn tho courso of the presont week an internationnl sdocumont, which Wil have all the foreo of tho Identicnt note, will ba presonted to Groees," After the * [dentienl note” 1s presented to Greeee, will shie necept the nward, ov reject itand ight?
