Wasurwoton, June 28, 1366. The Position of Nawal Officer f the Port of New York anal the Meziran Muddle. The lull in the contest for the vacamer in the New York Naval Office affords an opportunity (or a brief ro- view of the merits of the contest, ‘And first will be noticed the singularity of the cireure stance that with the exception of Chauncey M. Depew, the came list of candidates, with @ few additions, who few short wecks ago wore prosing for the Collector. ahip, still appears. Here we have Colonel Hillyer, General Gordon Granger, Goneral Joba A. Dix, General Daniel K. Sickles, Colonel Wood, General Averill, and a host of other names familiar in all contests for lucrative federal appointments. Go far, however, the contest mooms to be one-sided one, in which Colonel Hiutyer has it all bis own way, the othor candidates being merely ornamental appetdages to make the struggle exciting and interesting. It ia, perbape, the most remarkable feature of this contest that it it in newien a straggie between the in- @ividual candidates, nor does ft appear to turn upon the velative merits of these several aspirants, all of whom are ready to swear by the Premdent, amd support, main. tain and defend his particular policy; bat it terns out to bo a war between General Grant and Secretary Seward. 1h will appear as @ mystery to the uninitiated how a little matter of difference between these two prominent officials can affect a amall office like that of Naval Officer at the Past of New Lork, which contrels a patranese af marcely belf a huedred appointees; but such is, nevet+ theless, the case, Colonel Hillyer comes forward as the favorite can- didate of the Lieutenant General, who writes personal letters in his bebalf aud interests himself so much further im the case x6 to seek the confidential ear of the Pres!- dent, and arge the bestowal of the position upon this deserving candidate, These facts coming to the ear of the Secretary of State, the good-man Friday of the lat- tor, Thurlow Weed, is summoned here post haste to checkmate the game, it being too small an affair, ina popular point of view, for the premier of the govern- ment to contest personally. Weed comes in to the summons, but suddenly discovers that, while he can effect a postponement of the appointment, he has no candidate to name in preference to the little aspiring colonel. Tn this emergency hecontents himself with the postponement, and hastens back to New York to marvhal is forces and’ unite them upon a candidate, Such ts the condition of the maiter at present. And from this cursory review the question naturally arises what there is in the existing relations between Seward and Grant that calls for such violent animosity on the part of the former. And here we are not devoid of an easy solution of the difficulty, It will be remem- bered that carly last summer General Grant, although usually so wonderfully reticent, let fall a series of re- marke going to show his sympathy with tbe republic of Mexico, and lus sincere d) ition to see the famous Moproe doctrine rigidly enforced by our government. ‘This was enough to show Grant's FS ition on that ques- tion, But the careful reader of the political history of the times will have observed that this government has paid but little deference to this popular doctrine, espe- cially im its application to the aflairs of struggling Mexico. An empire has been per- sistently sought to be established in that country on the ruins of a republic, in the face of a dexperate resistance by the inhabitants of the country, with no voice or protest from the United States. The ques- tion thon arises, have we, who are so firmly committed to this Monroe doctrime, been acting in good faitn to- wards our weak, though earnest and determined neigh- bor. Grant says we have not acted in good faith. Ho contends that we should have aided the weak republic against the foreign combination that sought to mount a foreign prince u @ throne there built of the ruins of that republic. Seward contends that the time bad not arrived for the illustration of this great doctrine of America for Americans, and that until Maximilian com- pletely overthrows the constitutional government of that conntry there ts no call for the interierence of the United States; and in the meantime he secretly intrigues with the Austrian Prince and the French Emperor for the usurpation by the former of the legitimate govern- ment—the Prosidency of a republic—to be followed by a coup détat by which, with the nominal voice of the people, he shall be declared Emperor, fence is discovered a radical difference beyween these two high officials, which is now so far developod as to destroy all social relations between them. The disrup- tion of social relations i# always followed by personal wnimosities which manifest themseives in hostilities of the most violent character on every and any occasion. So, in the instance referred to, Seward is only too happy of marking bis hostility to Grant by the deteat of the candidate of the latter's choice for any office. And it is clear that this 1s the reason of Sew: and Weed's hos- tility to Hillyer, because the latter is publicly known to be a strong advocate of the President's policy, and can be op therefore, on no political grounds; also that the Seward-Weed interest acknowledges that it has bo candidate in the Held as yet for the position sought. Outside arguments bave been brought to bear against Hillyer, tut they are merely incidental to the great question involved of the triumph of the Grapt or Seward interest. For tpstance, the half dozen deputies In the if Hillyer 1s ap- aguinst this appointment, but sin their opposition upon the ground pointed he will at once remove them and fill their places with diseb officers and soldiers of the army. To most men this would seem to be the strongest card that could be played by Hillyer, If he will promise to give all hie subordinate to thone who for the past he ongbt by all means to have the office, at least there are others ready to make equally good promises. ‘The other names as yet put forward for thie office have po possible show, Hillyer will certainty be appointed, unless Weed succeeds in ths few days allotted him in or- ganizing a powerful combination in sy; ‘of some other candidate. Gordon Granger is simply pressed by bimself, and that with no earnest desire to get the office, bat merely to keep bis name before the government.

Spealing ef the roe Trade Leagis of New York, he said that not one ainong ita officers or counsellors was identified with the indnsteial interests of the United Staves, but they were, almost without exception, identified directly or indirect- ly with the English trade Mr. Ravuoxd, (sep) of N. Y., said that this was a simple question of detail, The iron rolling interest of tho country was entiiied to the protection, but there wero other interests eutitled to protection also The duty on railroad iron was mused last year from $1240 per ton to $16 75, expressly for the reason that the in terval duty amounted to $8 40. hat internal duty had bean taken off, and yet it was proposed now ‘0 raise the uty on imported tron to $22 60, equivalent to an in- crease of $675 im addition to the $8 40 of internal tax taken off, being an increased protegtion of $15 15 per ton, That was a very large incroase in the rate of d railroad iron. Iron imported under the present law to pay now “a duty of $15 76, in gold; froght charges equal to $550 mor, also in gold; insurance and cou- ons amounting to $6 moro—making in all in gold, or $88 62 in currency, Lo be paid on ton of railroad iron brought here from Fogiand. And now it was proposed to increase the daty $@ 74 in gold, or $10 im currency, 80 that every rutroad company that hought a ton of irom would have to pay when landed in bond $45 in curreney over and above the cost of the article abroad, The great com- plaint he made acaiast protection wae pot that it was wrong in priveiple, but that Chore was Bo end to It They hat heen told in the begnning that protection woald me be needed for a fow years, and ‘ben the manufacturers of the cov Buy could stand alone.
