“EROPOSALS. .. LAND SALES, SMUGOEING OVER ff" BoRDER TO BE PRE- YENTRD.— Mr. Sargent, Commissioner of Cas- toms, Will leave Washicgton next week for the frontier, to.carry intoeffect the law and regu- lations to prevent smuggling. These, he says im his cireular, have been made necessary by the extent to which the revenue laws haye | been evaded, and the very lax manner in which they have been enf by some of the officers ofcustoms. The examination of travelers’ bag- gage will be rigorously performed; but in the examination, the officers of customs will be eareful not to disturb their contents more than is necessary to ascertain whether they contain any goods liable to duty, and upon which du- ties have mot been paid. The examination | must, however, be sufficiently thorough to as- eertain whether they contain suc goods, inclu. ding laces and jewels, or RO! Pasence passing from the United States will be examined by a proper Officer, and sealed up in order to prevent its being disturbed while in transit. The regulations, amongst other things, re- quire thet in closing and sealing trunks, boxes, bales, barrels, or other envelopes or packages of any kind, the proper officers, in order to | guard against false bottoms, movable hinges, and other fraudulent contrivances, will take eare the same are so secured by cords or wire and additional seals that they cannot be opened, nor any part of the contents taken from them, without removing, breaking, or | cutting such cords, wires, or seals. Seais are to be used for sailing vessels, | steamers, boats, cars, and other vehicles en- gaged in trade between the United States and other countries. Trunks, travelling bags, boxes, and every- thing containing articles of wearing apparel or | other personal effects, or purporting to do so, must be opened and their contents thoroughly | inspected by the proper efficer ot the customs, who shall remove the seals from the car con- | taining such baggage. No trunk, travelling bag, valise, or other envelope is to be delivered or taken away until thus inspected, and all baggage among which may be found secreted articles liable to duty upon which the duties ores gis been paid, must be seized and re- tained. New York NewsraPer Orrices rn TRou- BLE.—The compositors in the Times, Tribune, News, Transcriptand Herald offices left their work on Friday night shortly before midnight, and refused to help get ont their respective pa- pers, because the night editors in charge wished to publish an advertisement which came to them in the regular course of business. 1t seems the Times office deeming the demand of the Printers’ Union for sixty cents per 1,000 ems exorbitant, sent an advertisement to the other newspaper offices, offering to give em- ployment to other printers for fifty cents per 1,000ems. Assoon asit was known that such an advertisement had been received, the com- positors in the Times, Tribune, News, Tran- script and Herald, notified the editors in charge that they would not help to set up their re- spective papers until they were promised that ie advertisement would be rejected. The answer in each case, of course, was, that the compositors, while they had an undoubted right to fix the price at which they would work, decidedly exceeded their prerogatives in | saying what advertisements should or should not go into the paper. If that privilege was ac- corded them they would be both editors and ye of their respective journals. The erald finally succumbed; but as we write, (2 &.m.,) the other papers are holding out, and their columns will have a slim appearance, it, indeed, they succeed in getting outatall. We cannot but think that this most unwise and Unjust proceeding will sooner or later throw every member of the Printers’ Union who sanctioned it, out of employment, so far as this | city is concerned. ¥.
